The Super Saiyan 3 form consumes a great amount of power. RELATED: The Most Obscure Dragon Ball Movies, Ranked Super Saiyan 3 Has Only Two Canon Transformations (But MANY Non-Canon Ones) Unlike Gohan's aggression as a Super Saiyan 2 or Goku's rage as a Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 3 Goku and Gotenks just act like themselves.

On top of that, the form doesn't seem to affect the users' personalities or behavior like earlier transformations. While many instances of untrained Super Saiyans showcase the characters in question drawing from intense emotions, the same is not true for Super Saiyan 3. This implies that Super Saiyan 3 isn't tied to emotional stability, but relies more on sheer determination. It is also one of the few Super Saiyan transformations that doesn't suggest an emotional alteration. Gotenks transforms into Super Saiyan 3 effortlessly - though, considering Goten and Trunks's similarly easy Super Saiyan transformations, this isn't surprising.Įven in the various non-canon transformations, going Super Saiyan 3 doesn't seem to require raging inner emotions, but is rather a result of pushing oneself further beyond their previous limits. Goku's first transformation into Super Saiyan 3 happens off-screen but is apparently a product of intense training. While Super Saiyan 1 and 2 require intense emotional triggers, it is not certain that Super Saiyan 3 requires that same level of inner intensity to transform.
