In this new Super Saiyan form, Goku's tail, forearm hair, eyes, and signature hairdo all glow gold while his face is otherwise darkened. His mouth, meanwhile, is no longer human but akin to that of a vicious ape, his teeth now fanged. Matching his animalistic appearance, Goku approaches his opponent Broly running on all fours. When he unleashes his final attack alongside Vegeta, fire-like energy emanates from his mouth, once again making his significant power appear more out of control than usual. The length of time he spends fighting in this form is altogether brief, likely a byproduct of the famously strenuous nature of animation. Nevertheless, Agent Mystery Meat and his Studio Stray Dog team showcase an altogether unique spin on classic "Dragon Ball" material even in this short amount of time.
"Legend – A Dragon Ball Tale" caught on with "Dragon Ball" fans upon its release, amassing more than 12 million views on YouTube. In a popular Reddit thread, one of the top comments, by user levi2207, is dedicated entirely to its new Super Saiyan form. User Just_a_user_name_ likewise wrote, "the different take on Goku's transformation was superb." This comment received more than 90 upvotes.
Even if it's unsanctioned, Goku's transformation in "A Dragon Ball Tale" deserves to be seen by fans interested in something left field of what is typical for "Dragon Ball" that nevertheless respects what the series is at its core.
