Dragon Ball Daimamade history with Episode #12, surprising fans by finally debutingVegeta’s Super Saiyan 3 form, a moment fans have dreamed of for decades. Cornered in his battle against the Tamagami in the Second Demon World, Vegeta breaks through by transforming into Super Saiyan 3. Immediately afterVegeta taps into the Super Saiyan 3transformation, he swiftly defeats the Tamagami, highlighting the significant power gap between Super Saiyan 2 and this advanced form.
However, what makes this transformation even more captivating isa subtle detail in Vegeta’s appearance that sets his Super Saiyan 3 form apart. This detail not only underscores the unique nature of Super Saiyan 3 but also debunks a long-standing theory tied to the appearance of this legendary transformation.
Dragon Ball Daima Debunks the Theory of Long-Flowing Hairs in Super Saiyan 3 Transformation
Vegeta Retains His Spiky Hair Despite Super Saiyan 3 Form
Vegeta begins his transformation into Super Saiyan 3 after being cornered by Tamagami with no escape. Initially, it might seem like he’s merely powering up his ki, but the transformation becomes evident as his hair grows longer. It’s confirmed when his eyebrows vanish, a striking detail that defines theSuper Saiyan 3 form. Alongside the iconic absence of eyebrows seen in Goku and Gotenks' transformations, it is heavily implied that long, flowing hair is also a defining feature of the Super Saiyan 3 state.
At Last, Dragon Ball Daima Has Given Vegeta the Victory I’ve Been Waiting Decades For
Vegeta has scored few victories throughout Dragon Ball’s history, but Daima has just given him a definitive one that is jam-packed with style.
Instead of sporting the iconic long, flowing hair,Vegeta retains his spiky hairstyle, albeit with noticeable growth. This small yet significant detail debunks the long-held fan theory that every Saiyan achieving the Super Saiyan 3 state, like Goku and Gotenks, would have long, flowing hair regardless of their original hairstyle. Vegeta’s transformation clearly disproves this belief, emphasizing that a Saiyan’s Super Saiyan 3 hair remains somewhat aligned with their natural hairstyle. Moreover, Vegeta’s latest transformation becomes even more remarkable upon realizing that it challenges yet another established explanation within the franchise.
Vegeta Acquiring the Super Saiyan 3 State Under Normal Circumstances Is Somewhat Special
In theDragon Ball Z Buu Saga, Goku explains that Super Saiyan 3 is a unique transformation that heavily drains the user’s stamina and forces every drop of their energy to work. An inexperienced Saiyan attempting this form could even risk self-destruction in the process. Goku reveals that he achieved this state during his seven years of training after his death, emphasizing that being dead alleviated the strain and pain on his body, as his unique condition shielded him from its full effects.
Meanwhile, Gotenks also achieved the Super Saiyan 3 state, as fusion itself is a unique condition. This allowed Gotenks to transform without bearing the full consequences typically associated with the form. In contrast,Vegeta attained Super Saiyan 3 purely through sheer will and rigorous trainingwithout any special circumstances, proving himself to be truly exceptional, far beyond what fans had imagined. Vegeta’s transformation inDragon Ball Daimanot only debunks a long-standing theory about the form’s appearance but also challenges beliefs about the conditions required to achieve it, giving Vegeta a moment to shine brighter than Goku for once.
