That's certainly ONE way to do. I personally would go a slightly different way. I feel like it should be about evolution. Super Saiyan 1 (And it's various grades) was all about Power. Accessing this deep wellspring of energy inside oneself, allowing you to convert the energy of emotions (rage, pride, etc) into energy and using that energy to amplify and intensify one's strength many times over. Super Saiyan 2 was about Control. Increasing one's strength was a bi-product, but by controlling that strength, controlling that power, you could bring out far more strength without losing yourself (or your speed) in the process. Super Saiyan 3 should be about Evolution. Each Saiyan should have their own separate individual Super Saiyan 3 form, that is unique to them. Some will be faster, some will be stronger, some will be better able to use ki-attacks, some might even gain new abilities like regeneration or the like. Goku's version could even do what you said, with Ki-Attacks that STOP their enemies from being able to regenerate, or do more damage more quickly than those with high-speed regeneration abilities are able to tank! And the God & Blue forms should include this same process. Super Saiyan Blue is just Super Saiyan form + Super Saiyan God form, so naturally, there should be a Super Saiyan Blue 2 (Vegeta anyone?) and Super Saiyan Blue 3 which ALSO include the God Ki within them. These forms would be a further Evolution of the focus that each of these Saiyans have from their regular Super Saiyan 3 forms. Not just a blue colouration, but a more pronounced change for to their personality, and abilities, focusing and specializing in one area, but without the detriment of others. Should they be temporary and very draining? YES! But I think that if they don't just give you "Moar Power!" but instead grant you some evolved version of your base abilities, it should be not just possible, but PLAUSIBLE that they would have lots of situational uses! But exactly that, situational. As they'd be very draining, it'd likely be the kind of thing you only bring out when it's really needed. But that's my two cents. What do you think? Lets get this discussion going!
This is extremely well put, and I love this idea. It could make for much better plot, as well. Imagine Vegeta becoming a HUGE blast of energy, extremely blunt and punishing, while Goku becomes extremely fast, think instant transmission x100. This could make for many different advantages and disadvantages to fights, and enemies could make use of the latter, and that could bring real tension, instead of the two guys yelling at one another while getting stronger and stronger. I love it!
There really isn't any inherent problem with SSJ3 that other SSJ forms don't have, which is just energy consumption due to not being used to the form, people forget that SSJ1 had the same problem it was incredibly draining which is why Goku aimed to stay transformed for days so that he could get used to it almost like it was his base form, apply the same means of training to SSJ3 and you will get mastered SSJ3, where you have the enormous power without it draining your energy so quickly, that's how you fix SSJ3, train in it! Some people dog on SSJ3 just because all we've seen of it is an untrained version, but they don't realize that we've never actually seen anyone train in that form and try to master it, Kaioken x3 was vastly more unstable than SSJ3, but Goku got the hang of that real quick and was able to use kaioken multiple times higher than 3, and I just wanted to add as well that no form actually gives you new powers, Gogeta hitting Omega Shenron with an air pressure type ki attack is nothing new, Goku has done that in his base form back in dragonball and early Z, its just something they do to show someone is way stronger than someone else, so the SSJ forms only give you more power not new abilities, the abilities have not changed since dragonball.
@@hyperrunner8531 actually I dont think it would work that way. Somewhere it was explained that ss3 uses ki energy to make that transformation possible. It physically changes the body hence the missing brows, bigger and toned muscles. Heavy increase in speed and power and let's not forget my favorite. The long ass gold hair! And as far as I heard ki is like ones life force. It would have a limit to it
@@droopyaguacat3185 But why is that a reason to why he can't simply get used to the form so it becomes less stamina draining like he's done with every single other form? You've talked about the body changes and all of that but how does that stop him from increasing his stamina in that form?
@@hyperrunner8531 because of the energy. A body can only withhold so much ki or output so much ki before actually afflicting the users life force. I will go back into my notes after work and check it out so I can give yall a link or picture to answer your questions better.
@@droopyaguacat3185 Is this something said in the show or guides or just a theory? Like perhaps SSJ3 is using vital life energy like Tien does, if that was the case then your premise would be correct but as far as I know this hasn't been mentioned in the show, I don't think we really know how SSJ3 works tbh, to my knowledge they haven't really explained it
That bit about "Super Saiyan if mastered can be stronger and more efficient than 2 or 3" thing really needs to be explored more. Future Trunks in the manga is the closest we got to that, where he mastered SSJ2 so much that he could supercharge it to be stronger than Goku at SSJ3 (which is huge since SSJ3 is a 400x multiplier). I like the idea of SSJ2 and 3 turning out to be shortcuts or forced forms with drawbacks to them. 2 makes the user more aggressive and cocky, 3 has a massive amount of power but the stamina drain on it means you gotta be quick. So it leaves you with one of two situations: you try to master SSJ1 more than Goku and Gohan did when they clearly managed to push the power far beyond the original 50x multiplier, or you try to overcome the drawbacks of 2 and 3. Whichever is more worth your time. As for the Ki Mastery effect of 3, it's worth noting all the characters enhance their physical combat with ki too. Goku's punches as a SSJ3 did a lot more damage to Buu than Vegeta did, and that's part of the reason Ultimate Gohan beat down Super Buu so hard without having to use a single ki attack. It would have been better if it was like you said and say, when Goku blows a hole in Buu it makes him hesitate for a minute because "Why hole not go away?"
@@TheMetastasia it is. In the Manga when trunks spars with goku he shows him his mastery of ssj2 allows him to become so powerful he could overpower goku at ssj3. Goku had to go God to win.
@@onyxt3589 Goku did in the time chamber. He went grade 2 and 3. And it was implied he might have gone further than that against cell given he got so strong
@@redkingrauri3769 eh, while some people may say that grade 4 has a higher multiplier than grade 1, it doesn't appear to, its just that its much more energy efficient and so goku and gohan got alot more out of their training due to it.
Ssj3 IS one of my favorite forms It feels like it's a form for brutal battles I loved the way the hair moved when fighting against buu And his attitude change while Goku is in the form💪🏾💯
Chris,now you are getting it.the form was supposed to bring out the great ape in super saiyan form and was supposed to seem like a tank form. Kinda like the classic ape form with all that brute force.
Honestly the reason I like it because my god did it get some good fights Goku vs Kid Buu Vs Janemba Vs Hirudigarn Those fights are an animation pleasure to watch
Step 4. Power down. Step 5. Power up again. Step 6. Scream as hair retracted too far without the length you shaved off and gets stuck inside your scalp until it bursts out in a bloody mess of skin and hair.
The way I'd fix SS3 is by having the form used so far to be an imperfect version it, hence the ki drain. I'd have the "actual" super saiyan 3 look pretty much the same, but maybe have the hair be shorter than "imperfect" 3, but still longer than 2 (to demonstrate that previously raging power had been brought under control)
That would actually be pretty good. Have the "perfected ssj3" be able to close the stupid wide power gap between its inferior form and super buu. Then we wouldnt have to go down the kid buu path
When you mentioned 3 being used for a quick burst of power, I realized that Dragon Ball FighterZ uses it pretty effectively. Goku's Lv3 Super has him going Super Saiyan 3 for a quick combo ending with a huge Kamehameha, he uses it for a quick burst of strength ending with a massive ki attack
I don't know why people hate this form so much when I first saw it I thought it was super cool and intimidating but then super came alone. I guess I always has a place in my heart for ssj3
It looks dumb. Super saiyan 1 and 2 (as well as blue and god) don't look to be physical trandformations, just a surge of ki that causes a flaring golden aura that pushes the hair up and gives them a golden hue. It makes sense, it's genius, Super Saiyan 3, and 4, are physical, it implies the silly concept of the hair instantly growing and the eyebrows falling off, and when Goku reverts to his base form is even more silly, eyebrows regrowing and hair sucked back into the scalp!
ARX 351 Dumbass the Eyebrows are going to become the avengers after the end of infinity war that ki wipes it away from how flipping strong it is you PANCAKE
@@arx3516 SSJ3 is SUPPOSED to be a physical transformation. The show made it obvious that Goku was tapping into the great ape transformation to boost his power beyond SSJ2. The ape transformation is obviously a physical one.
I always imagined what that would look like, would it be him growing 7 foot long hair down to the floor, or would his hair stay the same but just without eyebrows? 🤷🏿♂️ Lol
That would be an interesting concept, perhaps make so that it drains less stamina under 3 full moon or at night time. Would probably allow us to get some night time fights or training scenes. I also think it would be cool to make it like the kaioken, except what I would do is have its physical strength be equal to ssj2 but have it be much stronger Ki wise, so beam attacks are much stronger as well as being faster during flight, i also think it would be awesome if upon transformation you obtain a Ki barrier that lessens damage from attacks, so it could be the reason why the form is so draining
@@IAmMightyMike because it's Super Saiyan 4 it's a one step further than three LOL honestly Super Saiyan 4 is the best of both the base forum and oozaru.
@Jeffrey Scott You call it useless nostalgia, I call it utilization of a core aspect of the Saiyans that existed way before Golden Hair and was an emblematic aspect of how they did conquest of planets and as part of their heritage, and that merely disappeared because Akira couldn't be arsed to create anything with it or draw the tails because he found them annoying to do.
A thought on the 'soul' strike theory, it doesn't hurt the 'body' at all but it immediately strikes the ki, limiting speed, stamina and recovery. To an extent 'gentle fist' from Naruto.
so you throw a punch, some cocky villain says that was nothing, and then they start panting and are incredibly exhaused. Would've been the perfect counter to buu's regen and stamina, disabling them for a while so he can be hurt. The problem would that it would also exhaust the user, meaning it's for very quick bursts, meant to end fights fast, while super saiyan 2 is just an all around good form for fights, and super saiyan is great for extremely long fights.
The form doesn’t need fixing. The form did what it needed to do and show us how Goku always pushes himself to his limits and beyond. The form embodies everything that Goku is. Maybe when Goten and Trunks grow up they can use a better version of the form that doesn’t drain as much stamina.
I disagree it was never mastered and what they needed to do what the form is what they did for blue instead and everyone forgets blue had the same energy problem as 3
So make SS3 a kaioken style powerup that all of them can use. It burns energy two to three times faster, and applies a physical toll on the user's body which increases the longer they sustain it. In return, you get an increase in speed and strength but less then what you get with the jump from SS to SS2. In addition you get the ability to turn all your melee attacks into ranged versions, allowing you to strike from outside your opponent's own attack range without fear of counterattack. Also add a "quick charge" to all ki attacks you do while in this form. So no charging up that Final Flash to full over the course of 30s, instead just slam a full power one in their face in the middle of your combo, maybe give it a few seconds to come online and fire off but still while they're reeling from your assault. With this you'd be trading off the greater speed/power increase from going Blue or God form for the equivalent of constantly holding down the charge button for all your attacks. I'm reminded of one of the PS2 era DBZ games where Tien's Dodon Ray had almost no cast time so you could spam it quickly and in the middle of a combo. TLDR: no real power increase, shoot full power lasers real fast. Major power drain.
I agree make it like the kaioken, except what I would do is have its physical strength be equal to ssj2 but have it be much stronger Ki wise, so beam attacks are much stronger as well as being faster during flight, i also think it would be awesome if upon transformation you obtain a Ki barrier that lessens damage from attacks, so it could be the reason why the form is so draining
@@darrellsimon4462 if ssj3 actually had such a ki shield that could be one of the reasons why it is so draining to the user another reason is that the ssj3 we see is a incomplete form. ( in other words goku likes to get in close to his opponent and punch them rather than wear them down from a distance thusly why we never saw the shield in action. )
same, but I would jsut make it an absolute physical powerhouse made for quick bursts, darting around, throwing barrages, lifting gigantic pillars, that kinda thing. Plus, I'd also have it give regen.
Top 5 Transformations in the series IMO: 1. Super Saiyan (Goku/Trunks) 2. Super Saiyan 2 (Gohan) 3. (Super) Broly. 4. Super Saiyan 3 in Fusion Reborn 5. Ultra Instinct Omen
Super Saiyan 3 should be a glass cannon form. If SS2 could be considered a refinement of Super Saiyan, SS3 can be breaking the limits of what that kind of power allows, running the risk of instability. Kind of like what we saw in the form that Goku took prior to going full Ultra Instinct.
SS3 is completely fine. It was meant to be like this overdrive state where you become exponentially stronger, but the stamina drain would be equally as strong. It was always meant to be this legendary transformation that should only be used sporadically, or as a last resort when you just need that extra oomph. The only reason people now suddenly think that it's trash is because SSG made it completely obsolete. Without it, SS3 would still be the definitive SS transformation.
Amazing concept tbh. Goku can shoot fist canons that could knock your spirit out of order? Imagine if he could slowly stay in the form longer and longer throughout Super too. So come the Goku Black Arc that's his guaranteed second go-to form before God or Blue
@@jmac28211 Destroying the earth isnt physically that much more significant than the moon. Destroying the universe or multiverse isn't really narratively more significant than destroying the earth.
His point was less that people didn't get stronger, but that it never felt like this was the case because we were just told they were, and shown that the dude that gave them trouble before was pretty much fodder now. But beyond that... nothing ever really indicated this actual increase. In short, nothing ever really looked much different.
The funniest part of Goku vs. Jiren was when Goku completely skipped over SSJ3 when he was scaling Jiren's strength. "1, 2, thre-... AH SCREW IT I'M GOING GOD."
The best way I've ever seen Super Saiyan used was in Dragonball FighterZ, where Goku uses it for a quick Super Combo to deal a lot of damage quickly, then revert back to Super Saiyan. Ideally, a good strategy could be to lure in your opponent and whittle down your opponent's stamina, then finish the opponent off with Super Saiyan 3
Here is what I always saw ssj3 be or what it could be: Ssj3 seems to give a really huge boost to physical and and energy attacks but the latter being raised to a ridiculous degree, at the cost of burning up your ki reserves much faster. Kind of like an overdrive mode. Now the reason I think this is the case its because while in the afterlife goku must have noticed that physical bodies behave differently there, like when using the kioken wiht ssj. Maybe seeing that in the afterlife you have near unlimited energy reserves he developed a form of ssj that takes advantage of such vast power. It would explain why he was so confused when he turned back to base during the buu fight. high normal physical body is not meant for that form entirely. So essentially ssj3 is a form more useful in the other world than in this world.
I absolutely love your vids. You have the heart of a debater/theorizer. That and your ability to make compelling stories while adding a bit of personal flair is very admirable.
My take for super saiyan 3 : First off , strength / durability differences : This version be 200x stronger than the super saiyan 2 , the incredible strength makes it to be much more defensive and the durability increases abnormally , this is more of a defensive / kind of balanced form , sheer strength along with sheer durability , and to point out a siayan body cant handle this very easily , so the hair gets much heavier and stickier , not really that fluffy , and also adds weight , but the cool part is its much more sharper and pointer than the other super saiyan hair(s) 2nd , speed differences : This is highly expected to be a very slow form , but now its my take , it is indeed slow , but not too slow , its only a bit slower than ssj2 , but overall , theres nothing really to it , the slowness can be cured by breaking out of the extreme weight and loosening the body to extreme forms that i will later inform you about. 3rd , Ki control : Ki control is a bit confusing , it makes you feel heavy on the inside and outside , and then it makes your ki much more stronger , maybe even stronger than the super saiyan god form's ki , but the thing is it makes the ki blasts a bit slower , this can be loosened by sheer strength and will. 4th , and the last , secondary forms , of this form : Now similar to super saiyan 4 how it can have a limit breaker full power form , this is the same like that , and to do this you can break out of it with increasing your ki with much more focus and extreme boosts so when one feels extremely overwhelmed by the power , they must continue and the continuation results in loosening and then finally shattering the air and the aura to then explode into a form with the hair being the complete same but evolved into a lighter and extremely fluffy and loosen hair but with an ultra instinct type yellow glowy outline / ultra instinct but yellow aura , with lightning appearing so frequent the eyes turns fully into a glowy light neon blue sort of like thor , and a japanese "S" symbol on the top of the head , meaning u broke ur limiter , kind of like the omni god limit breaker form in the OG anime war , but its yellow and extremely glowy , and then thats basically it , the 2 variants of my take on ssj3 Forms : Super saiyan 3. ( extremely strong but lacks in speed ) Super saiyan 3 Limit breaker. ( extremely fast and also extremely strong )
I've always understood it as you said, that SS3 cannot be achieved through any normal means. Training during death, a fusion, it's an unnatural extension of the Super Saiyan form.
i've always loved ssj3 since the first time i saw it, though i recognised its limitations and "90s exaggerations" from the start. i thought it would be eventually mastered as were ssj1 and 2, but hey, toriyama xD worth adding here, perhaps one of the only original move by goku, the "dragon fist explosion" ( 龍拳爆発 - Ryūken Bakuhatsu) was awesome to younger me's eyes back when i saw it with all the majesty of the ssj3's mane lol
If Ssj1 and 2 can be mastered, so can 3. And it's not ki that would come from Goku punching in someone's direction, it would be a nuclear chain reaction from an infinite mass punch, due to Goku being so much faster than the light-speed limit.
I like the concept of the Ki Punch Projectiles, but I'd not attach them to a fixed SSJ3. I'd fix SSJ3 something like this: . 1) SSJ3 only has a massive stamina drain when you first unlock it. With enough training to master the form, the stamina drain decreases. Now I'm not Saiyan it should go away completely with full mastery, but it should be minimized to where it doesn't make it a disadvantage to use the form unless you stayed in the form much longer than a single battle would require like maybe something in the vicinity of 24 hours.2) Upon taking damage in the form, the stamina drain increases a small amount though bigger with increased severity of the damage. 3) Using the form dramatically increase your PL, speed, reflexes, durability, etc (your overall combat stats), but comes with the huge downside that when you power down, you cannot manipulate your Ki for a minimum duration of 1 hour. This therefore means that while you will be far more powerful when you use the form, you will be unable to defend yourself OR help your allies in the battle for a period of at least 1 hour. Now this is different than running out of Ki; no this is being unable to use your Ki period including for things like flight, surpassing normal human capabilities, Ki attacks, and even Ki Sense (no detecting energy signatures of anyone friend or foe). This wouldn't be a situation that a Senzu Bean would even be capable of allowing you to recover from since a Senzu Bean heals injuries, restores your Ki to the full extent of your PL, and allows you to not need to eat for 10 days (though this seems to not necessarily apply to Saiyans &/or those with massive PLs; at least the duration seems to be lessened to a greater extent proportional to how high your PL).
How about it's an incomplete version of ss3. Leading up to the perfect super Saiyan. No ss1, 2 and 3. Just the true form of super Saiyan. Then no more transformation after that. Except mixing it with the god ki.
The interesting bit about switching to SSJ3 only for an attack then back again, is that the games have been doing this since literally Hyper Dimension on the SNES.
I would change SSJ3 to be more Ki focused by expanding the aura off the person. Let them do weird and wild things with ki like the ghosts or the dragon punch. But it's biggest weakness is the ki is an extension of the body, not a part of it. So if you zip in and punch them, you'd one hit them as most of their aura is actually three feet off of their person, not apart of their body. The reason it drains the host is it is more or less pushing the life force out of their body.
Man I love it cause it looked cool and goku risked a lot to get to itt plus it was another surprise that shocked everyone and he was just so confident I love it
I love your videos masako, it really gets my own creativity flowing. One criticism I would like to give is that during intros, where you are giving context to the subject, or recapping a story, your tending towards rambling on some of the minor details for a couple minutes, and lose the point of the bigger picture of the recapping/ context. It pulls me out of the hype for the overall video subject you set up. Just something I've noticed over the past couple months.
the only improvement that could be made is having the tail grow back while in this form, and then they can use that fake moon technique to get a boost from the moon while in this form, perhaps draining less stamina and even getting a more powerful multiplier, which makes this form dependent on the moon.
How to save SSJ3: 1. Go SSJ2 2. What's SSJ3, is that somekind of DB Heroes thing? What's next, Golden SSJ? Super Sayian Perfect Super Sayian Cell? Wait, I want that Cell.
I think this is cool making SSJ3 more Ki based the only thing id change from yours Masako is included the tail like what was originally going to be planned so that way we can see the lead into SSJ4, with the Oozaro (spelled that wrong didn't i) form becoming semi-relevant when going against giant opponents like Hirudegan (spelled that wrong too I think) cause who doesn't like a kaiju fight. I mean we could make it to where Vegeta is the one who finds out about SSJ4 while Goku is too focused on God Ki it would, in my opinion, make Vegeta feel like a true Prince of All Sayians if he discovers the SSJ4 transformation first.
My head cannon always had ssj3 as imperfected form similar to accended sayian massive output of ki (even the ki looks circular as it's being pushed out hard) and the idea was that later on he would learn to stop the power leakage through several different methods before mastering the form completely. He would have to learn to control and contain ki within so the aura would become very dense and close to the body, eventually his body would adapt to the power through storing ki in a physical aura kind of like a barrier and he would use it over time meaning his endurance would be even greater without ever having his power level drop when the aura is up. side effect being loss of focus means massive eruptions of uncontrolled energy.
Hey Masako, I'd love to see a sequel to this video of how to integrate these changes into the actual show at its current time. It would be interesting to see how u might write the story aspect of ssj3 becoming useful again
I find SSJ3 the coolest form of all time. I love the long hair that creates a very sharp and large silhouette that is very intimidating. I like how it deforms Goku's face because it's like "This form is so incomprehensibly powerful that it shouldn't exist and it deforms Goku's body for obtaining it" It makes it feel so legendary. I feel they nerfed it afterwards because it was strong enough to stop Buu which is insane. If they didn't nerf it hard as they did, it should've opposed Beerus.
I like what was proposed in the 'What if Filler was Canon' idea that some guys did. Rather than SS3 as we know it, have Goku work out a way to combine Super Saiyan and Kaioken. The idea is that, after the time chamber, his mastery of the base SS form was effortless. Perhaps if he mastered Kaioken to the same degree, he could use both at once. You know, multiply a multiplier. The result is a powerful but draining form he calls KaioSaiyan. Its red hair and aura would serve as a kind of bridge to SSG.
Going with something between what you've suggested and what the pinned comment suggested make this a true representation of the person using it. It's the highest point they can reach without becoming gods, it should reflect that. Vegeta, who I've always seen as the beam warrior to Goku's physical warrior, gets something akin to perfect control over Ki. You mentioned the glaring thing from GT, so I think something like that. He can just gesture, wave a hand, and a barrage of beams just appear out of thin air. Not even near him, he can make a beam appear behind you by just tilting his head. He has gone so far beyond normal people that he doesn't even need to move anymore, he can just will attacks into creation, just think "I want a Final Flash to appear over there" and it does. Goku becomes even more of a physical fighter, but with his Ki literally bleeding out of him. I picture a scene where he punches, the foe dodges, and still gets blown away because even coming close to Goku means you're being battered by his Ki. Every punch, kick, whatever, is accompanied with a Ki based effect. He blocks? A shield. He punches? A massive shockwave. Gohan, if he uses it, becomes something akin to a technique focused fighter. Using abilities like Instant Transmission or the Multi Form Technique. Things that aren't combat focused, but still useful. He's not going to beat you down with pure power, he doesn't need to. Him and his clones will deal with you "death by a thousand papercuts" style, teleporting out of any danger. And so on. This is the ultimate form, it should show it, not just in appearance (which is different for each user) but in fighting style.
Honestly, Super Saiyan 3 should've been the ultimate form and should've stayed that way. Before anyone jumps at me to defend Super, just let me explain: Think about it. Super Saiyan 1 itself was considered legendary. Sure, the other Saiyans could do it, but that's because they're all Goku and Vegeta's kids; they're the only ones left. Mastering it like in the Cell Saga is fine, it makes perfect sense to be able to refine the form. Super Saiyan 2 made sense to be a new hard-to-reach level of power. It was Gohan's hidden, untapped power that was only unleashed when he snapped on Cell. The only reason Vegeta could reach that form was through Babidi's magic. Super Saiyan 3 should've been the great unreachable level. The ONLY reason Goku could do it was because he trained in the Other World for over 5 years before it all went down. That was the only possible way for him to get it. As for Gotenks, my best explanation would be their power combined with the fusion, and whatever time they spent in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber before Buu showed up. Gohan's ultimate form, which puts him about the same level as Super Saiyan 3 (if not stronger), is technically not Super Saiyan, but that's only because it was given to him by an otherworldly being. The Kais were on the same level as Super Saiyans in terms of power, so Elder Kai giving Gohan that boost is totally acceptable. Which means that if Super Saiyan 3 stayed as the unreachable highest level of Super Saiyan, to simply add another power multiplier, there wouldn't be any reason to have to debate fixing anything. But instead, we got Super, where there's an unnecessary ladder of God forms for the *ALREADY LEGENDARY* Super Saiyan (Wtf). It's now just for showcasing the winners of the "Goku's Hair Color Contests", meanwhile the rest of the old cast is getting more and more irrelevant. All this, because the animators are too lazy to animate SS3 Goku's hair... But that's just my input. Any thoughts?
I like that thought. It makes a TRUE Super Saiyan 3 seem that much cooler. Especially worth noting that Super Saiyan 2 slightly lengthens the user's hair, though not by much.
@@thecake6635 That does sound decent, that by reaching the Rage level, you're banging on the door of divinity just a lil bit with the godly glow around Trunks.
I dunno if I remember correctly but I thought the glare in GT meant goku moved so fast he was able to clock OS in the face and he just couldn’t see it showing how much faster he was?
I like SSJ3 it looks brutal and powerful making Goku look more apelike only surpassed by SSJ4 I sort of like SSJGOD but SSJGODSSJ BLUE is just lame and lazy imo
How to fix it -Goku teaches Caulifla how to do SSJ3 and after a while she learns the form -Now to make it useful and important Caulifla masters it where it doesn’t drain your stamina BUT wait how can Caulifla master the form when Goku couldn’t “Universe 6 Saiyans Evolved differently than U7 Saiyans”
In Dragon Ball Super, I kept hoping Goku would try to trick Kaulifla to get to transform into Super Saiyan 3 so he could get the upper hand over her, knowing the weaknesses that come with that form.
How would Cabba, Caulifla and Kale grow in terms of power & personality if they trained with Vegeta, Goku and Gohan. You can combine both their anime and manga counterparts and take the best from both parties involved.
"When you try to power up to 3 it takes forever." Except for that one time Goku got jumped by Buu and he switched from base form to 3 in a flash. Makes me wonder how much the first couple presentations of the form were Goku putting on a show to wow people.
Just make SSJ3 blue, and make it being an hyper offensive form where you can't dodge much, then give it to vegeta, so the vegeta can pull off the old trope of "distract him for 5 minutes while i charge up my super hyper mega final ultimate flash"
I like almost everything about your idea...with the exception of the whole "inflicting spiritual damage" concept...that is, in my opinion, what the Spirit Bomb is for. That said...TYING this transformation to the Spirit Bomb might be an awesome idea like having to absorb one like Goku does in movie 7 (Super Android 13) Super Saiyan 2 + absorbing Spirit Bomb = Super Saiyan 3: a form that would inflict spiritual damage and have a VAST (but limited) reserve of ki to supercharge energy attacks.
That's certainly ONE way to do. I personally would go a slightly different way.
I feel like it should be about evolution. Super Saiyan 1 (And it's various grades) was all about Power. Accessing this deep wellspring of energy inside oneself, allowing you to convert the energy of emotions (rage, pride, etc) into energy and using that energy to amplify and intensify one's strength many times over.
Super Saiyan 2 was about Control. Increasing one's strength was a bi-product, but by controlling that strength, controlling that power, you could bring out far more strength without losing yourself (or your speed) in the process.
Super Saiyan 3 should be about Evolution. Each Saiyan should have their own separate individual Super Saiyan 3 form, that is unique to them. Some will be faster, some will be stronger, some will be better able to use ki-attacks, some might even gain new abilities like regeneration or the like. Goku's version could even do what you said, with Ki-Attacks that STOP their enemies from being able to regenerate, or do more damage more quickly than those with high-speed regeneration abilities are able to tank!
And the God & Blue forms should include this same process. Super Saiyan Blue is just Super Saiyan form + Super Saiyan God form, so naturally, there should be a Super Saiyan Blue 2 (Vegeta anyone?) and Super Saiyan Blue 3 which ALSO include the God Ki within them. These forms would be a further Evolution of the focus that each of these Saiyans have from their regular Super Saiyan 3 forms. Not just a blue colouration, but a more pronounced change for to their personality, and abilities, focusing and specializing in one area, but without the detriment of others.
Should they be temporary and very draining? YES! But I think that if they don't just give you "Moar Power!" but instead grant you some evolved version of your base abilities, it should be not just possible, but PLAUSIBLE that they would have lots of situational uses! But exactly that, situational. As they'd be very draining, it'd likely be the kind of thing you only bring out when it's really needed.
But that's my two cents. What do you think? Lets get this discussion going!
And this is why I love discussions - everybody has a methodology. Thank you for your contributions, Arthur!
@@MasakoX And this is why I love your channel! lol. (I just rarely comment, but I've been watching for the past year or so.)
ok if it's about evolution how come if god and blue are so high up there do they have eyebrows?
This is extremely well put, and I love this idea. It could make for much better plot, as well. Imagine Vegeta becoming a HUGE blast of energy, extremely blunt and punishing, while Goku becomes extremely fast, think instant transmission x100.
This could make for many different advantages and disadvantages to fights, and enemies could make use of the latter, and that could bring real tension, instead of the two guys yelling at one another while getting stronger and stronger.
I love it!
@@tommyblud I always wondered about the eyebrow thing.

Cannot forget Dr. Slump because it is an HM memory.

But his eyebrows were replaced with muscles! That's what makes the form so strong!
I love the no eyebrows look, gives it something significant besides the hair.
@@stevewyrick3400 yeah like other forms look mostly the same for me but different colours and super sayian 3 it looks so cool for me
It's not "no eyebrows", his brow bone grows and changes, to more closely resemble how they look in great ape form.
@@deanstewart2382 But the eyebrow itself does vanish. So it is, yeah, "no eyebrows"
personator907 he looks scarier too
Legend has it Raditz achieved SSJ3 in the after life and that is how Vegeta got pissed enough to go blue for the first time.
"hey, I got super saiyan 3. That's pretty cool."
"Oh you think your so better than me? Well guess what. I now have super saiyan blue hair dye."
Ssj 3 is cool for me, it look intimidating
There really isn't any inherent problem with SSJ3 that other SSJ forms don't have, which is just energy consumption due to not being used to the form, people forget that SSJ1 had the same problem it was incredibly draining which is why Goku aimed to stay transformed for days so that he could get used to it almost like it was his base form, apply the same means of training to SSJ3 and you will get mastered SSJ3, where you have the enormous power without it draining your energy so quickly, that's how you fix SSJ3, train in it! Some people dog on SSJ3 just because all we've seen of it is an untrained version, but they don't realize that we've never actually seen anyone train in that form and try to master it, Kaioken x3 was vastly more unstable than SSJ3, but Goku got the hang of that real quick and was able to use kaioken multiple times higher than 3, and I just wanted to add as well that no form actually gives you new powers, Gogeta hitting Omega Shenron with an air pressure type ki attack is nothing new, Goku has done that in his base form back in dragonball and early Z, its just something they do to show someone is way stronger than someone else, so the SSJ forms only give you more power not new abilities, the abilities have not changed since dragonball.
@@hyperrunner8531 actually I dont think it would work that way. Somewhere it was explained that ss3 uses ki energy to make that transformation possible. It physically changes the body hence the missing brows, bigger and toned muscles. Heavy increase in speed and power and let's not forget my favorite. The long ass gold hair! And as far as I heard ki is like ones life force. It would have a limit to it
@@droopyaguacat3185 But why is that a reason to why he can't simply get used to the form so it becomes less stamina draining like he's done with every single other form? You've talked about the body changes and all of that but how does that stop him from increasing his stamina in that form?
@@hyperrunner8531 because of the energy. A body can only withhold so much ki or output so much ki before actually afflicting the users life force. I will go back into my notes after work and check it out so I can give yall a link or picture to answer your questions better.
@@droopyaguacat3185 Is this something said in the show or guides or just a theory? Like perhaps SSJ3 is using vital life energy like Tien does, if that was the case then your premise would be correct but as far as I know this hasn't been mentioned in the show, I don't think we really know how SSJ3 works tbh, to my knowledge they haven't really explained it
That bit about "Super Saiyan if mastered can be stronger and more efficient than 2 or 3" thing really needs to be explored more. Future Trunks in the manga is the closest we got to that, where he mastered SSJ2 so much that he could supercharge it to be stronger than Goku at SSJ3 (which is huge since SSJ3 is a 400x multiplier).
I like the idea of SSJ2 and 3 turning out to be shortcuts or forced forms with drawbacks to them. 2 makes the user more aggressive and cocky, 3 has a massive amount of power but the stamina drain on it means you gotta be quick. So it leaves you with one of two situations: you try to master SSJ1 more than Goku and Gohan did when they clearly managed to push the power far beyond the original 50x multiplier, or you try to overcome the drawbacks of 2 and 3. Whichever is more worth your time.
As for the Ki Mastery effect of 3, it's worth noting all the characters enhance their physical combat with ki too. Goku's punches as a SSJ3 did a lot more damage to Buu than Vegeta did, and that's part of the reason Ultimate Gohan beat down Super Buu so hard without having to use a single ki attack. It would have been better if it was like you said and say, when Goku blows a hole in Buu it makes him hesitate for a minute because "Why hole not go away?"
Trunks supercharged SS2?
Is this in SUper? Because Trunks "Muscle form" was basically SS1 supercharged.
@@TheMetastasia it is. In the Manga when trunks spars with goku he shows him his mastery of ssj2 allows him to become so powerful he could overpower goku at ssj3. Goku had to go God to win.
Gohan and Goku never pushed Super Saiyan beyond the 50x multiplier.
@@onyxt3589 Goku did in the time chamber. He went grade 2 and 3. And it was implied he might have gone further than that against cell given he got so strong
@@redkingrauri3769 eh, while some people may say that grade 4 has a higher multiplier than grade 1, it doesn't appear to, its just that its much more energy efficient and so goku and gohan got alot more out of their training due to it.

It feels like it's a form for brutal battles

How to fix SSJ3
Step 1. shave some hair
Step 2. Go ssj3
Step 3. Glue shaved hair onto eye brows
Done ✅
Step 4. Power down.
Step 5. Power up again.
Step 6. Scream as hair retracted too far without the length you shaved off and gets stuck inside your scalp until it bursts out in a bloody mess of skin and hair.
Seconded
@Groisu This would also be acceptable.
Omar that just makes it worse, cuz the hair would just grow back, and the putting the hair on the eyebrows is just terrible
@Groisu He is a enviorement friendly farmer, you gotta respect that he doesnt take this yellow drugs to push himself!
The way I'd fix SS3 is by having the form used so far to be an imperfect version it, hence the ki drain. I'd have the "actual" super saiyan 3 look pretty much the same, but maybe have the hair be shorter than "imperfect" 3, but still longer than 2 (to demonstrate that previously raging power had been brought under control)
Also eyebrows. Eyebrows are important.
That would actually be pretty good. Have the "perfected ssj3" be able to close the stupid wide power gap between its inferior form and super buu.
Then we wouldnt have to go down the kid buu path
It is an imperfect form. It's a partly transformed great ape. The perfected form is SSJ4.
@@ericstaples7220
No it isn't. SSJ4 isn't canon.
@@ericstaples7220 ssj4 isnt canon my dude
When you mentioned 3 being used for a quick burst of power, I realized that Dragon Ball FighterZ uses it pretty effectively. Goku's Lv3 Super has him going Super Saiyan 3 for a quick combo ending with a huge Kamehameha, he uses it for a quick burst of strength ending with a massive ki attack
Yay I’ve been waiting for this kind of video
I don't know why people hate this form so much when I first saw it I thought it was super cool and intimidating but then super came alone. I guess I always has a place in my heart for ssj3
It looks dumb. Super saiyan 1 and 2 (as well as blue and god) don't look to be physical trandformations, just a surge of ki that causes a flaring golden aura that pushes the hair up and gives them a golden hue. It makes sense, it's genius, Super Saiyan 3, and 4, are physical, it implies the silly concept of the hair instantly growing and the eyebrows falling off, and when Goku reverts to his base form is even more silly, eyebrows regrowing and hair sucked back into the scalp!

@@arx3516 SSJ3 is SUPPOSED to be a physical transformation. The show made it obvious that Goku was tapping into the great ape transformation to boost his power beyond SSJ2. The ape transformation is obviously a physical one.

@@Gnidel ITs just a small beard sadly, according to dragon Ball heroes of course.
@@Gnidel as a bald man ss3 napa is interesting
The lack of eyebrows symbolizes Goku being closer to his Oozaru transformation perhaps Super Saiyan 3 can be supercharged by moonlight.
That would be an interesting concept, perhaps make so that it drains less stamina under 3 full moon or at night time. Would probably allow us to get some night time fights or training scenes. I also think it would be cool to make it like the kaioken, except what I would do is have its physical strength be equal to ssj2 but have it be much stronger Ki wise, so beam attacks are much stronger as well as being faster during flight, i also think it would be awesome if upon transformation you obtain a Ki barrier that lessens damage from attacks, so it could be the reason why the form is so draining
Then why would SSJ4 have more hair when it symbolizes the same thing?
@@IAmMightyMike because it's Super Saiyan 4 it's a one step further than three LOL honestly Super Saiyan 4 is the best of both the base forum and oozaru.
@Jeffrey Scott You call it useless nostalgia, I call it utilization of a core aspect of the Saiyans that existed way before Golden Hair and was an emblematic aspect of how they did conquest of planets and as part of their heritage, and that merely disappeared because Akira couldn't be arsed to create anything with it or draw the tails because he found them annoying to do.
Major Lawliet thank you
A thought on the 'soul' strike theory, it doesn't hurt the 'body' at all but it immediately strikes the ki, limiting speed, stamina and recovery. To an extent 'gentle fist' from Naruto.
so you throw a punch, some cocky villain says that was nothing, and then they start panting and are incredibly exhaused.
Would've been the perfect counter to buu's regen and stamina, disabling them for a while so he can be hurt.
The problem would that it would also exhaust the user, meaning it's for very quick bursts, meant to end fights fast, while super saiyan 2 is just an all around good form for fights, and super saiyan is great for extremely long fights.
The form doesn’t need fixing. The form did what it needed to do and show us how Goku always pushes himself to his limits and beyond. The form embodies everything that Goku is. Maybe when Goten and Trunks grow up they can use a better version of the form that doesn’t drain as much stamina.
Thought they mastered it as gotenks
I disagree it was never mastered and what they needed to do what the form is what they did for blue instead and everyone forgets blue had the same energy problem as 3
So make SS3 a kaioken style powerup that all of them can use. It burns energy two to three times faster, and applies a physical toll on the user's body which increases the longer they sustain it.
In return, you get an increase in speed and strength but less then what you get with the jump from SS to SS2. In addition you get the ability to turn all your melee attacks into ranged versions, allowing you to strike from outside your opponent's own attack range without fear of counterattack. Also add a "quick charge" to all ki attacks you do while in this form.
So no charging up that Final Flash to full over the course of 30s, instead just slam a full power one in their face in the middle of your combo, maybe give it a few seconds to come online and fire off but still while they're reeling from your assault.
With this you'd be trading off the greater speed/power increase from going Blue or God form for the equivalent of constantly holding down the charge button for all your attacks. I'm reminded of one of the PS2 era DBZ games where Tien's Dodon Ray had almost no cast time so you could spam it quickly and in the middle of a combo.
TLDR: no real power increase, shoot full power lasers real fast. Major power drain.
I agree make it like the kaioken, except what I would do is have its physical strength be equal to ssj2 but have it be much stronger Ki wise, so beam attacks are much stronger as well as being faster during flight, i also think it would be awesome if upon transformation you obtain a Ki barrier that lessens damage from attacks, so it could be the reason why the form is so draining
@@darrellsimon4462 if ssj3 actually had such a ki shield that could be one of the reasons why it is so draining to the user another reason is that the ssj3 we see is a incomplete form.
( in other words goku likes to get in close to his opponent and punch them rather than wear them down from a distance thusly why we never saw the shield in action. )
same, but I would jsut make it an absolute physical powerhouse made for quick bursts, darting around, throwing barrages, lifting gigantic pillars, that kinda thing.
Plus, I'd also have it give regen.

I’ll be honest I thought for the longest that trunks still had super saiyan and hadn’t learned how to go ssj2 until the end of the goku black arc
Super Saiyan 3 should be a glass cannon form. If SS2 could be considered a refinement of Super Saiyan, SS3 can be breaking the limits of what that kind of power allows, running the risk of instability. Kind of like what we saw in the form that Goku took prior to going full Ultra Instinct.
The comparison to Jirens punches is exactly what I was aiming. Punching from a distance.
SS3 is completely fine. It was meant to be like this overdrive state where you become exponentially stronger, but the stamina drain would be equally as strong. It was always meant to be this legendary transformation that should only be used sporadically, or as a last resort when you just need that extra oomph.
The only reason people now suddenly think that it's trash is because SSG made it completely obsolete. Without it, SS3 would still be the definitive SS transformation.
Difinitive? That's not how you spell useless garbage
@@darkenkil4416 Chill, you don’t need to get triggered because he spelled it wrong

One thing I never understood about the Xeno characters and Cumber is that they can go SSJ3 without needing SSJ2
I think they can go Super Saiyan 2, but no cards were ever made in Super Dragon Ball Heroes.
its more like they can quickly skip it, so they go 2 and then beyond quickly.
Super Saiyan 3 is a really good form, I wish they would use it in a clever way in the anime.
All they have to do is train in the form and it will become more stable, I don't believe there is any form that can't be mastered.

His point was less that people didn't get stronger, but that it never felt like this was the case because we were just told they were, and shown that the dude that gave them trouble before was pretty much fodder now. But beyond that... nothing ever really indicated this actual increase.
In short, nothing ever really looked much different.
The funniest part of Goku vs. Jiren was when Goku completely skipped over SSJ3 when he was scaling Jiren's strength.
"1, 2, thre-... AH SCREW IT I'M GOING GOD."
The best way I've ever seen Super Saiyan used was in Dragonball FighterZ, where Goku uses it for a quick Super Combo to deal a lot of damage quickly, then revert back to Super Saiyan.
Ideally, a good strategy could be to lure in your opponent and whittle down your opponent's stamina, then finish the opponent off with Super Saiyan 3
Having SSJ3 make Goku look less like a neanderthal with those absent eyebrows
He's supposed to look like a partly transformed ape, because ya know, Saiyans have the ability to turn into apes.
Here is what I always saw ssj3 be or what it could be:
Ssj3 seems to give a really huge boost to physical and and energy attacks but the latter being raised to a ridiculous degree, at the cost of burning up your ki reserves much faster. Kind of like an overdrive mode. Now the reason I think this is the case its because while in the afterlife goku must have noticed that physical bodies behave differently there, like when using the kioken wiht ssj.
Maybe seeing that in the afterlife you have near unlimited energy reserves he developed a form of ssj that takes advantage of such vast power. It would explain why he was so confused when he turned back to base during the buu fight. high normal physical body is not meant for that form entirely.
So essentially ssj3 is a form more useful in the other world than in this world.

I've always wondered why super Saiyan 3 is the only form without eyebrows. Then I thought maybe all the hair goes to his head in that one?
I feel like the whole loss of eye brows kind of made him look like he was fusing with or tapping in to that inner great ape strength of the sayains.
So turn it into a Hyper Combo, like Dragonball FighterZ: deadly, but punishable. ...and make it like the Akuma's Raging Demon.
Why do people dislike the eyebrow thing so much? I think it makes SSj3 look pretty unique and awesome at the same time,
I absolutely love your vids. You have the heart of a debater/theorizer. That and your ability to make compelling stories while adding a bit of personal flair is very admirable.
Thanks Masako now the song is in my head 😂
Well, that was like half the episode being a prequel before even getting to the actual question
But Masako, if it had eyebrows how would you tell Goku from his SSJ brother in RnR?
My take for super saiyan 3 :
First off , strength / durability differences :
This version be 200x stronger than the super saiyan 2 , the incredible strength makes it to be much more defensive and the durability increases abnormally , this is more of a defensive / kind of balanced form , sheer strength along with sheer durability , and to point out a siayan body cant handle this very easily , so the hair gets much heavier and stickier , not really that fluffy , and also adds weight , but the cool part is its much more sharper and pointer than the other super saiyan hair(s)
2nd , speed differences :
This is highly expected to be a very slow form , but now its my take , it is indeed slow , but not too slow , its only a bit slower than ssj2 , but overall , theres nothing really to it , the slowness can be cured by breaking out of the extreme weight and loosening the body to extreme forms that i will later inform you about.
3rd , Ki control :
Ki control is a bit confusing , it makes you feel heavy on the inside and outside , and then it makes your ki much more stronger , maybe even stronger than the super saiyan god form's ki , but the thing is it makes the ki blasts a bit slower , this can be loosened by sheer strength and will.
4th , and the last , secondary forms , of this form :
Now similar to super saiyan 4 how it can have a limit breaker full power form , this is the same like that , and to do this you can break out of it with increasing your ki with much more focus and extreme boosts so when one feels extremely overwhelmed by the power , they must continue and the continuation results in loosening and then finally shattering the air and the aura to then explode into a form with the hair being the complete same but evolved into a lighter and extremely fluffy and loosen hair but with an ultra instinct type yellow glowy outline / ultra instinct but yellow aura , with lightning appearing so frequent the eyes turns fully into a glowy light neon blue sort of like thor , and a japanese "S" symbol on the top of the head , meaning u broke ur limiter , kind of like the omni god limit breaker form in the OG anime war , but its yellow and extremely glowy , and then thats basically it , the 2 variants of my take on ssj3
Forms :
Super saiyan 3. ( extremely strong but lacks in speed )
Super saiyan 3 Limit breaker. ( extremely fast and also extremely strong )
I've always understood it as you said, that SS3 cannot be achieved through any normal means. Training during death, a fusion, it's an unnatural extension of the Super Saiyan form.
i've always loved ssj3 since the first time i saw it, though i recognised its limitations and "90s exaggerations" from the start. i thought it would be eventually mastered as were ssj1 and 2, but hey, toriyama xD
worth adding here, perhaps one of the only original move by goku, the "dragon fist explosion" ( 龍拳爆発 - Ryūken Bakuhatsu) was awesome to younger me's eyes back when i saw it with all the majesty of the ssj3's mane lol
If Ssj1 and 2 can be mastered, so can 3. And it's not ki that would come from Goku punching in someone's direction, it would be a nuclear chain reaction from an infinite mass punch, due to Goku being so much faster than the light-speed limit.
*beerus/god ki enters the chat*
*SSJ 3 left the chat*
Such a shame
I like the concept of the Ki Punch Projectiles, but I'd not attach them to a fixed SSJ3. I'd fix SSJ3 something like this:
.
1) SSJ3 only has a massive stamina drain when you first unlock it. With enough training to master the form, the stamina drain decreases. Now I'm not Saiyan it should go away completely with full mastery, but it should be minimized to where it doesn't make it a disadvantage to use the form unless you stayed in the form much longer than a single battle would require like maybe something in the vicinity of 24 hours.2) Upon taking damage in the form, the stamina drain increases a small amount though bigger with increased severity of the damage.
3) Using the form dramatically increase your PL, speed, reflexes, durability, etc (your overall combat stats), but comes with the huge downside that when you power down, you cannot manipulate your Ki for a minimum duration of 1 hour. This therefore means that while you will be far more powerful when you use the form, you will be unable to defend yourself OR help your allies in the battle for a period of at least 1 hour. Now this is different than running out of Ki; no this is being unable to use your Ki period including for things like flight, surpassing normal human capabilities, Ki attacks, and even Ki Sense (no detecting energy signatures of anyone friend or foe). This wouldn't be a situation that a Senzu Bean would even be capable of allowing you to recover from since a Senzu Bean heals injuries, restores your Ki to the full extent of your PL, and allows you to not need to eat for 10 days (though this seems to not necessarily apply to Saiyans &/or those with massive PLs; at least the duration seems to be lessened to a greater extent proportional to how high your PL).
Hyourinjutsu ‘s Goku Black
‘Anybody can assume a form that requires no Ki Control’ ~
How about it's an incomplete version of ss3. Leading up to the perfect super Saiyan. No ss1, 2 and 3. Just the true form of super Saiyan. Then no more transformation after that. Except mixing it with the god ki.
Exactly what I think about the super saiyan transformation lineup
Goku has embraced his ghostly nature and become the legendary Spooky Saiyan!
The interesting bit about switching to SSJ3 only for an attack then back again, is that the games have been doing this since literally Hyper Dimension on the SNES.
I would change SSJ3 to be more Ki focused by expanding the aura off the person. Let them do weird and wild things with ki like the ghosts or the dragon punch. But it's biggest weakness is the ki is an extension of the body, not a part of it. So if you zip in and punch them, you'd one hit them as most of their aura is actually three feet off of their person, not apart of their body. The reason it drains the host is it is more or less pushing the life force out of their body.
7:45 into the video and already got 7 unskippable ads.
Man I love it cause it looked cool and goku risked a lot to get to itt plus it was another surprise that shocked everyone and he was just so confident I love it
I love your videos masako, it really gets my own creativity flowing. One criticism I would like to give is that during intros, where you are giving context to the subject, or recapping a story, your tending towards rambling on some of the minor details for a couple minutes, and lose the point of the bigger picture of the recapping/ context. It pulls me out of the hype for the overall video subject you set up. Just something I've noticed over the past couple months.
the only improvement that could be made is having the tail grow back while in this form, and then they can use that fake moon technique to get a boost from the moon while in this form, perhaps draining less stamina and even getting a more powerful multiplier, which makes this form dependent on the moon.
That is brilliant ( it would also make it necessary to have achieved ssj3 in order to achieve ssj4)
I would have been so happy if the discussion ended with that opening bit and the rest of the video was just a black screen.

I'm legit floored :O. I had no idea people dislike SSJ3. It's always been my favorite form tbh.
Masako: "What do we do with a browless Saiyan early in the mornin?"
Me: "I don't think locking him in the brig will do much...
Spraying him with a hose seems like a poor life decision as well.
I think this is cool making SSJ3 more Ki based the only thing id change from yours Masako is included the tail like what was originally going to be planned so that way we can see the lead into SSJ4, with the Oozaro (spelled that wrong didn't i) form becoming semi-relevant when going against giant opponents like Hirudegan (spelled that wrong too I think) cause who doesn't like a kaiju fight. I mean we could make it to where Vegeta is the one who finds out about SSJ4 while Goku is too focused on God Ki it would, in my opinion, make Vegeta feel like a true Prince of All Sayians if he discovers the SSJ4 transformation first.
Perhaps there are other versions of the form, similar to SSJ grades.
Also "super-dee-duper saiyan"
My head cannon always had ssj3 as imperfected form similar to accended sayian massive output of ki (even the ki looks circular as it's being pushed out hard) and the idea was that later on he would learn to stop the power leakage through several different methods before mastering the form completely. He would have to learn to control and contain ki within so the aura would become very dense and close to the body, eventually his body would adapt to the power through storing ki in a physical aura kind of like a barrier and he would use it over time meaning his endurance would be even greater without ever having his power level drop when the aura is up. side effect being loss of focus means massive eruptions of uncontrolled energy.
Buu Saga did cram a bunch of new stuff that didn't go anywhere really that would have been cool concepts if maybe spread out
Hey Masako, I'd love to see a sequel to this video of how to integrate these changes into the actual show at its current time. It would be interesting to see how u might write the story aspect of ssj3 becoming useful again
I feel like Super Saiyan 3 is just the super saiyan equivalent of Roshi's Max Power transformation.
Multiverse handled this form pretty well, making it the peak of Saiyan power, but with a heavy drain to the user.
MagnuMagnus So what it was before GT?
@@jmac28211 Basically
I find SSJ3 the coolest form of all time.
I love the long hair that creates a very sharp and large silhouette that is very intimidating. I like how it deforms Goku's face because it's like "This form is so incomprehensibly powerful that it shouldn't exist and it deforms Goku's body for obtaining it"
It makes it feel so legendary. I feel they nerfed it afterwards because it was strong enough to stop Buu which is insane. If they didn't nerf it hard as they did, it should've opposed Beerus.
I like what was proposed in the 'What if Filler was Canon' idea that some guys did.
Rather than SS3 as we know it, have Goku work out a way to combine Super Saiyan and Kaioken.
The idea is that, after the time chamber, his mastery of the base SS form was effortless. Perhaps if he mastered Kaioken to the same degree, he could use both at once.
You know, multiply a multiplier.
The result is a powerful but draining form he calls KaioSaiyan.
Its red hair and aura would serve as a kind of bridge to SSG.
What would a ssj5 look like? Hmmmm......
(Love the vids by the way)
Going with something between what you've suggested and what the pinned comment suggested make this a true representation of the person using it. It's the highest point they can reach without becoming gods, it should reflect that.
Vegeta, who I've always seen as the beam warrior to Goku's physical warrior, gets something akin to perfect control over Ki. You mentioned the glaring thing from GT, so I think something like that. He can just gesture, wave a hand, and a barrage of beams just appear out of thin air. Not even near him, he can make a beam appear behind you by just tilting his head. He has gone so far beyond normal people that he doesn't even need to move anymore, he can just will attacks into creation, just think "I want a Final Flash to appear over there" and it does.
Goku becomes even more of a physical fighter, but with his Ki literally bleeding out of him. I picture a scene where he punches, the foe dodges, and still gets blown away because even coming close to Goku means you're being battered by his Ki. Every punch, kick, whatever, is accompanied with a Ki based effect. He blocks? A shield. He punches? A massive shockwave.
Gohan, if he uses it, becomes something akin to a technique focused fighter. Using abilities like Instant Transmission or the Multi Form Technique. Things that aren't combat focused, but still useful. He's not going to beat you down with pure power, he doesn't need to. Him and his clones will deal with you "death by a thousand papercuts" style, teleporting out of any danger.
And so on. This is the ultimate form, it should show it, not just in appearance (which is different for each user) but in fighting style.
This is an excellent suggestion
Honestly, Super Saiyan 3 should've been the ultimate form and should've stayed that way. Before anyone jumps at me to defend Super, just let me explain:
Think about it. Super Saiyan 1 itself was considered legendary. Sure, the other Saiyans could do it, but that's because they're all Goku and Vegeta's kids; they're the only ones left. Mastering it like in the Cell Saga is fine, it makes perfect sense to be able to refine the form.
Super Saiyan 2 made sense to be a new hard-to-reach level of power. It was Gohan's hidden, untapped power that was only unleashed when he snapped on Cell. The only reason Vegeta could reach that form was through Babidi's magic.
Super Saiyan 3 should've been the great unreachable level. The ONLY reason Goku could do it was because he trained in the Other World for over 5 years before it all went down. That was the only possible way for him to get it. As for Gotenks, my best explanation would be their power combined with the fusion, and whatever time they spent in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber before Buu showed up.
Gohan's ultimate form, which puts him about the same level as Super Saiyan 3 (if not stronger), is technically not Super Saiyan, but that's only because it was given to him by an otherworldly being. The Kais were on the same level as Super Saiyans in terms of power, so Elder Kai giving Gohan that boost is totally acceptable.
Which means that if Super Saiyan 3 stayed as the unreachable highest level of Super Saiyan, to simply add another power multiplier, there wouldn't be any reason to have to debate fixing anything.
But instead, we got Super, where there's an unnecessary ladder of God forms for the *ALREADY LEGENDARY* Super Saiyan (Wtf). It's now just for showcasing the winners of the "Goku's Hair Color Contests", meanwhile the rest of the old cast is getting more and more irrelevant. All this, because the animators are too lazy to animate SS3 Goku's hair...
But that's just my input. Any thoughts?
Have you thought that maybe its the ssj2 equivilent to ssj grade 3 only this time its stamina not speed that sacrificed?
meanwhile SS Rage is SSJ2 equivalent to SSJ Grade 4 to me
I like that thought. It makes a TRUE Super Saiyan 3 seem that much cooler. Especially worth noting that Super Saiyan 2 slightly lengthens the user's hair, though not by much.
@@thecake6635 That does sound decent, that by reaching the Rage level, you're banging on the door of divinity just a lil bit with the godly glow around Trunks.
I dunno if I remember correctly but I thought the glare in GT meant goku moved so fast he was able to clock OS in the face and he just couldn’t see it showing how much faster he was?
This is my first MasakoX video. He is really good at changing his voice for goku.
U sound like Goku black doing a Goku impression in the beginning..lol nice
Every time I watch these videos all I can hear is Goku from DBZ abridged😂 greatest voice for him ever😂
You started and ended with the eyebrows, nice
I like SSJ3 it looks brutal and powerful making Goku look more apelike only surpassed by SSJ4
I sort of like SSJGOD but SSJGODSSJ BLUE is just lame and lazy imo
How to fix it
-Goku teaches Caulifla how to do SSJ3 and after a while she learns the form
-Now to make it useful and important
Caulifla masters it where it doesn’t drain your stamina BUT wait how can Caulifla master the form when Goku couldn’t
“Universe 6 Saiyans Evolved differently than U7 Saiyans”
In Dragon Ball Super, I kept hoping Goku would try to trick Kaulifla to get to transform into Super Saiyan 3 so he could get the upper hand over her, knowing the weaknesses that come with that form.
SSJ3 SUPER sup Kamahamaha.
Fighting as 2, knocks baddie down, pops into 3 and Ki blast baddie to hell.
Boom winning and fixed SSJ3.
This has been the best intro ever lol
"And we would bring back the eyebrows too."
Blasphemy!!
I honestly like the no eyebrows, I think it added to the intimidation factor when he first transformed.
How to fix Super Saiyan 3:
Step 1: Step in front of a mirror
Step 2: Turn Super Saiyan 3
And.....
I'm A Good Guy cut the hair
"I basically attained this form just to show people the kind of power I can reach"
I tend to conceptualize SSJ3 as the tank to SSJ2's DPS.
How would Cabba, Caulifla and Kale grow in terms of power & personality if they trained with Vegeta, Goku and Gohan.
You can combine both their anime and manga counterparts and take the best from both parties involved.
"When you try to power up to 3 it takes forever."
Except for that one time Goku got jumped by Buu and he switched from base form to 3 in a flash. Makes me wonder how much the first couple presentations of the form were Goku putting on a show to wow people.
If goku ever mastered it...It would be fixed but goku didn't...even in 5 years of training...
Maybe goku could use God ki in ss3 form. It could reduce the stamina drain
@@JoshuaWilkesR maybe but he could easily use the god form or ssjb form they drain less stamina
Just make SSJ3 blue, and make it being an hyper offensive form where you can't dodge much, then give it to vegeta, so the vegeta can pull off the old trope of "distract him for 5 minutes while i charge up my super hyper mega final ultimate flash"
I like almost everything about your idea...with the exception of the whole "inflicting spiritual damage" concept...that is, in my opinion, what the Spirit Bomb is for.
That said...TYING this transformation to the Spirit Bomb might be an awesome idea like having to absorb one like Goku does in movie 7 (Super Android 13) Super Saiyan 2 + absorbing Spirit Bomb = Super Saiyan 3: a form that would inflict spiritual damage and have a VAST (but limited) reserve of ki to supercharge energy attacks.
While we're at it, let's make it not ugly anymore.
I never understood how Goku could fight in this form without getting his hair caught or pulled.
i forget did they ever explain why the eyebrows disappear?
