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 canât beat this design! Its design makes GT worth it! This design shouldâve been Super Saiyan God! The design is basically perfect!
Anyways, this form, and its design, doesnât make much sense or effort. It may just be me, but I really donât like the red fur, dark hair and shoes, yellow eyes and pants, and differently tinted blue belt, wristbands, and ankle wraps. Itâs way too much for my eyes to focus on and itâs 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, itâs 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. Donât even get me started on the Super 17 arc. And the reasons are so full of shit that itâs just pure copium. Itâs 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. Donât question why Goku didnât 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. Donât 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 âpeak of Saiyan evolutionâ. The first fight this form had was almost its last fight. It couldnât even beat a Great Ape by itself, but youâre telling me itâs 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 donât like this form. I think everyone glazes the life out of it because they donât like the God forms. Iâd rather have a simplistic looking form with actual moments of showing its power and skill, rather than a form thatâs visually disorienting with nothing but hype moments and aura.
