Ranking Super Saiyan Transformations

Number 5: Goten

Nothing special about Goten's transformation. It just happens. As Vegeta said, it's a super saiyan bargain sale. Props to Goten for being the youngest super saiyan though.

Number 4: Vegeta

Vegeta is such a drama queen. His monologue, while funny, kind of ruined the vibe for me. But Vegeta is a nice case of getting something when you stop caring about it. As much as I love Vegeta and his arc, his super saiyan transformation was kind of meh.

Number 3: Gohan

Now things are getting interesting! I love how Gohan's thoughts reflect the idea of the transformation being a response to a need vs a desire. It fits Gohan's character so well. Also, his inner monologue felt more emotional and impactful than Vegeta's. Plus the prelude where Gohan egged his dad to attack him at full power is so badass. Gohan is going big or going dead. Too bad his super saiyan transformation was merely a stepping stone for SS2.

Number 2: Future Trunks

Future Trunks' transformation is honestly the most heartbreaking one. The rain, Gohan's dead body, the devastation. They paint such a bleak picture. The moment is bittersweet (way more bitter though) because Trunks finally achieved the transformation but he lost Gohan. His transformation is intense from beginning to end. My favourite part is when the scene is shaking after he transforms and then the camera stills when Trunks slams his fists against the ground. Almost like pressure is being relieved. I can't get over Trunks transforming while crying :'(

Number 1: Goku (who else???)

This transformation is so iconic that it's hard for it not to be number 1. The whole set up is so epic. Goku has run out of techniques and aces. Most of the group is dead or near death. There's literally no hope left...then everything changes. I love the build up of Goku's transformation: the lightning, the darkening sky, the hair flickering. Few other moments in DBZ can top this moment. Goku's transformation changed DBZ.

havent gotten to dbz yet but truly the more i find out about dragon ball the more silly the "sonic maliciously ripped off dbz, everything parallels PERFECTLY" thing becomes to me
