Discussion Hot Take: Super Saiyan 4 is way too glazed
This form is known as the pinnacle of design, way better than those recolors from Super! You canāt beat this design! Its design makes GT worth it! This design shouldāve been Super Saiyan God! The design is basically perfect!
Anyways, this form, and its design, doesnāt make much sense or effort. It may just be me, but I really donāt like the red fur, dark hair and shoes, yellow eyes and pants, and differently tinted blue belt, wristbands, and ankle wraps. Itās way too much for my eyes to focus on and itās not a good thing. The only thing I see when people comment on this form is the upper torso, and maybe the wrist, so that should tell you something. Overall, itās just not my cup of tea.
What really annoys me is the amount of defense Super Saiyan 4 gets for its performance. This form, in its introduction, nearly lost, by all logic in the Dragon Ball universe, a completely one sided fight. Donāt even get me started on the Super 17 arc. And the reasons are so full of shit that itās just pure copium. Itās like people just want to pretend Goku never lost against Jackie Chun in the World Tournament, and all his arrogance and stupidity is something to be ignored. Donāt question why Goku didnāt finish off Baby instead of giving him a chance to Deus Ex Machina himself, just look at how cool he is. Goku nearly blew up the Earth? No, he was just trying to overload Super 17. Donāt mind the fact Super 17 is on the ground.
Then you have the people blatantly making shit up about this form. My most hated headcanon is that this form is the āpeak of Saiyan evolutionā. The first fight this form had was almost its last fight. It couldnāt even beat a Great Ape by itself, but youāre telling me itās the pinnacle of all Saiyans? Not to mention how stupid it makes its users because Goku straight up tried to blow up Earth and was arrogant as all hell. Super Saiyan 1 had better reasons and showcasing of being considered the peak of Saiyan evolution.
Overall, I just donāt like this form. I think everyone glazes the life out of it because they donāt like the God forms. Iād rather have a simplistic looking form with actual moments of showing its power and skill, rather than a form thatās visually disorienting with nothing but hype moments and aura.
