Goku’s Super Saiyan transformation is one of the most significant moments in the Dragon Ball franchise and one of the most iconic moments in manga and anime history. This transformation has been discussed, referenced, copied, and parodied hundreds of times since. In fact, the form is likely one of the most famous anime visuals of all time, with even non-anime fans being familiar with the sight of the powerful and imposing golden-haired Goku.One thing that makes Super Saiyan so memorable is how it was foreshadowed long before its debut. The term is first used by Nappa in the 240th chapter of the manga, “The Needs of the Many.” In this chapter, Nappa notes children born to Saiyans and Earthlings may be way more dangerous than pure Saiyans, describing these hypothetical children as Super Saiyans, seeding the phrase in the audience’s mind. This foreshadowing makes Goku’s transformation even more iconic for fans as they see Goku truly begin go beyond his previous limits and continuously strive for greater power throughout the Dragon Ball franchise.The now-famous legend of the Super Saiyan doesn’t appear until the manga’s 265th chapter, titled “The Dragon Balls Change Hands.” This chapter would be adapted into “Guru’s Gift,” the 54th episode of Dragon Ball Z. Later in the 280th chapter of the manga, titled “Super Saiyan?” Vegeta would further discuss the Super Saiyan concept, even pondering if Goku could be the one to take on the form. Anime viewers would be treated to Vegeta’s declaration and a flashback hinting at the state during the 31st episode of the anime, titled “Goku’s New Power.” This foreshadowing, intensifies the moment when Goku finally transforms as the build-up makes it feel earned and preplanned from the start. Manga readers first saw the transformation in the chapter “Life or Death,” the 317th chapter of the Dragon Ball manga that hit shelves on March 19th, 1991.
