Super Saiyan Blue boasts a vibrant, fiery, electric blue aura, as opposed to the blazing orange aura of Super Saiyan God. Super Saiyan Blue's primary appearance in the manga In the manga the state initially appears without sparks in its aura, but gains them after Goku and Vegeta's training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber prior to the Tournament of Destroyers. Compared to the Super Saiyan God form, the user's musculature is slightly larger than that in Super Saiyan God as it remains pretty much the same as in base form. In Dragon Ball Super: Broly, the hue is much darker, akin to Vegeta's evolved state. This form is nearly identical to the first Super Saiyan form, the only main differences being that the hair and irises are now cyanish in color (albeit the irises change to a slightly darker color than the hair). Frieza commenting on the appearance of the form in Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’ " So what is this? Super Saiyan with blue hair dye?" The name Super Saiyan Blue is usually used in the Dragon Ball Super anime and manga, whereas the name Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan is more often used in merchandise and video games. Īkira Toriyama named the form "Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan" in his character designs for Goku and Vegeta. In an interview with Toyotarō, Akira Toriyama reveals that he was thinking about having the form be white, but then it would have color-clashed with the “next enemy”, so he figured he should save it for another occasion. On that note, it was constructed by the Capsule Corporation development branch under Bulma’s instructions. And in regards to Vegeta, he adds that he gave Vegeta black clothes because he figured that maybe Bulma had modified his combat uniform to add some slight improvements. In relation to Goku, Toriyama says on Goku he made his hair blue to express how “by overcoming a certain limit he has become both strong and tranquil, able to keep his composure in a fight”. Goku moments after transforming into Super Saiyan Blue As the author explained it, and as Goku similarly mentions in the movie, the form is as the name suggests the result of a Saiyan with the power of Super Saiyan God further transforming into a Super Saiyan. In contrast, the Super Saiyan Rosé form is the result of a truly divine Saiyan transforming into the first Super Saiyan form (in the Dragon Ball Super anime and the Dragon Ball Fusions video game) or the divine counterpart of Super Saiyan Blue (in the Dragon Ball Super manga and most other Dragon Ball media ).įor the film Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’, Akira Toriyama further expanded on the concept of the “Super Saiyan God” transformation featured in Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods by combining its power into that of a Super Saiyan. This form surpasses its predecessor, Super Saiyan God. The god ritual is in other words not required, but it is the easier path to take. This form can be accessed by absorbing the powers of a god and then simultaneously activating them while transforming into a Super Saiyan, or through vigorous ki control training with a deity with godly ki and then obtaining that Godly ki for oneself, as seen with Vegeta in the Super anime.
