Super Saiyan

Super Saiyan (超サイヤ人) is an advanced transformation assumed by extraordinarily powerful members of the Saiyan race in the Dragon Ball franchise, as well as Akira Toriyama's later manga Nekomajin and within the Dr. Slump film Hoyoyo!! Follow the Rescued Shark. Humans in Dragon Ball Online can also use the transformation.

The Super Saiyan form first premiered in August 1991, within chapter 317 of the Dragon Ball manga, entitled "Life or Death". It also made its anime debut in 1991, first appearing in Dragon Ball Z episode 95, "Transformed at Last". Within Dragon Ball Z, two further transformations, the second[12] and third[13] levels, succeed Super Saiyan, while the premier form also has three additional branch states, which include two ascensions[14] and one that is a mastering[15] of the basic Super Saiyan form. Dragon Ball GT introduced a fourth[16] form, and there are three additional forms related to the Super Saiyan state that appear exclusively in the Dragon Ball Z films: False Super Saiyan,[17] Legendary Super Saiyan,[18] and Super Saiyan God.[19]
