Instinctive Dodges (Passive)

    Gif of Goku dodging some M1s.

1/3

While in mode, UI Omen/MUI Goku gains access to unique dodge and block. Instead of the typical TP dashes, Goku will perform a cartwheel-like dodge, gaining a small amount of hyper-armor during them. Additionally, instead of blocking like the conventional character, UI Omen/MUI Goku will weave through their hits instead. This seems to allow Goku to be slightly free of the block slowdown and move around freer than most. However, he can still be guard broken by conventional means. He can also use Instinct to dodge being down slammed or upflinged.

FAQs

What does the j in SSJ mean? ›

Super Saiyan is often abbreviated to “SSJ,” but some fans might be wondering what the additional “J” means. Dragon Ball is very much a Japanese franchise and the SSJ abbreviation comes from the Japanese term Supa Saiya-jin. Japanese uses 'jin' as a suffix to signify a persons race or ethnicity.

Why is Super Saiyan 3 so rare? ›

Summary. Super Saiyan 3 is rarely seen because it drains a Saiyan's ki significantly faster than other transformations, making it unsuitable for fights that require stamina.

Why can't Vegeta go to SSJ3? ›

The reason he never did because it difficult to hold such power that his body can't handle. Like goku, he couldn't hold super saiyan 3 that long because his body wasn't strong enough. In GT goku's little body could not hold super saiyan 3 as well. Super saiyan 3 transformation consume a lot of ki energy.

What is Goku's weakness? ›

Weakness: Unconditional Mercy

Goku's greatest strength also happens to be his greatest weakness. Namely, that he always sees the best in people, no matter who they are or what they've done.

Is there Super Saiyan 5? ›

While Super Saiyan 5 ended up being something of a hoax, fans still basically got a version of the form in the current Dragon Ball storyline, or at least, the version fans imagined they would have gotten with the 'real' Super Saiyan 5.

Why is SSJ pink? ›

Because Super Saiyan Rosé serves as Black's equivalent to Super Saiyan Blue, it utilizes godly ki; as such, it is theorized by Future Zamasu that this form is pink in color due to it being the result of a deity surpassing Super Saiyan God (with Blue being the result of a mortal surpassing it).

Can Vegeta go SSG? ›

Later, in the Dragon Ball Super manga, when fighting against Goku Black and Future Zamasu for the second time, Vegeta showcases the ability to transform into a Super Saiyan God at will, just like Goku can.

Why doesn't Goku use SSJ4? ›

Even in their Super Saiyan 4 forms, Goku and Vegeta couldn't match Omega Shenron's unparalleled strength, and that fact quickly became evident. In the middle of the battle, both Goku and Vegeta ran out of energy and couldn't sustain their SSJ4 forms any longer.

Who is stronger, SSJ3 or SSJ Blue? ›

Super Saiyan Blue is stronger and faster, but it's more unstable when it comes to stamina and endurance. This turns Super Saiyan Blue into a form that's somewhat comparable to Super Saiyan 3 in the sense that the user has a limited time to make it count.

Why can't Vegito say Goku? ›

He cant say it because Vegeta always calls Goku by his birth name: Kakarot.

Can Vegeta go Kaioken? ›

To prevent Vegeta from destroying the Earth with his Galick Gun, he used a Kaio-ken x3 Kamehameha, a combination of the Kaio-ken x3 and the Kamehameha, in an attempt to save himself and the Earth, initiating an Energy Clash.

Why doesn t Gohan use SSJ3? ›

He just does not, because he does not have the required energy to power up. Goku could go Super Saiyan 3 in the Other World because he could put unlimited energy in his transformation. Gohan IS a Super Saiyan, but his apperance does not change.

What is Goku's fear? ›

He's Afraid of Needles. The fear of needles is a fairly common phobia, and it is one Goku proves to suffer from throughout this episode. The Dragon Ball fighter's fear is so severe, that Goku thinks just by going into a hospital, someone is going to stick him with a needle without his consent.

What is Goku's worst enemy? ›

The biggest threat of all during the Saiyan Saga was none other than Vegeta. The Saiyan Prince had more control of his power than anyone else Goku and his friends had faced thus far.

What does the J stand for in SSK? ›

In Japanese, the term Saiyan is pronounced and would be localized as "Saiya-jin" (basically meaning "Saiya person") and the j comes from that. That acronym was something that first spawned on fan sites ages ago (as in Geocities/Angelfire era sites) and just sort of stuck after all this time, similar to "Mystic Gohan".

Is Super Saiyan 4 stronger than Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan? ›

Being that SSGSS is 50X SSG, then that means that SSJ4 is 12 percent weaker, then the strength of SSJ4 is 44X stronger than SSG.

What is the full name of SSJ? ›

Super Saiyan ( 超 スーパー サイヤ 人 じん , Sūpā Saiya-jin) is an advanced transformation utilized by members and hybrids of the Saiyan race that have sufficient amounts of S-Cells in the Dragon Ball series.
