Dragon Ball Super
Summary
InDragon Ball Super , to hit Super Saiyan God course , Goku had to perform a very specific rite with other Saiyans to help boost his power to incalculable levels , and this idea was first explored in a two - decennium - old fan - comedian create by currentSupermanga artist Toyotarou . CalledDragon Ball AF , this unfinished series enclose a similar ceremony well beforeDragon Ball Supercame to be , and quite possibly influenced the direction of the storey Toyotarou would one day finally become an integral part of .
Technically first seen in 2014’sDragon Ball Z : Battle of Godsmovie — the events of which were slenderly tweaked and retold during the initial arcs of 2015’sDragon Ball Superanime and manga serial — the Super Saiyan God ritual saw Goku and “ five righteous Saiyans ” join together to help him transcend his terminus ad quem and pace into the realm ofGod Ki .
In 2003 ’s doujinshi ( fan - comic)Dragon Ball AF , created by Toyotarou ( then going by the name of Toyble ) Goku is shack in the Ryu’oshin Realms , the place he follow Shenron toat the end ofDragon Ball GT , and is before long need back in the human world , result in the Earth - bound Z - warrior enactinga peculiar rite require seven Super Saiyans to call him home .
Super Saiyan 4 count a mass like how many Dragon Ball fans would show a Super Saiyan God , and one Dragon Ball GT episode bring out that it almost was .
Dragon Ball AFIntroduced a Version of the Super Saiyan God Ritual BeforeSuper
This similar ceremony consisted of Gohan , Goten , Vegeta , Trunks , Bra , Pan , and a quicken Broly joining forcefulness to rejuvenate the seven sluggish Dragon Balls by pouring their Super Saiyan energy directly into them .

Toyotarou never finishedDragon Ball AF , so its 5th volume consist only in rough draught .
Although this ceremony is one that did n’t yield the same resultant asSuper ’s God - alike transformation , Dragon Ball AF ’s translation likewise require six Saiyans , plus Goku to make seven , to pull off correctly and also avail bring Goku back into the fray in a way that evened the playing discipline against an unbelievably powerful enemy . what is more , by introducing this rite , Toyotarou tookDragon Ball GT ’s divisive floor and build on its foundations in meaningful way that felt decent at home in theDragon Balluniverse , no doubt inspiring his professional employment on the series years after .

So whilethis lover - laughable and its post - Dragon Ball GTstory is n’t canon , having one of the originative minds behindDragon Ball Super ’s manga run descend up with an eerily similar ritual featuring the use of goods and services of multiple Saiyans style before it ever became a matter in prescribed traditional knowledge is far too cooccurring to ignore . It ’s also worth mentioning thatDragon Ball AFalso anticipated a Vegeta superpower - up afterward shown inSuper , meaning that the young author , while mostly work under the supervising of Akira Toriyama , is certainly bringing his own ideas toDragon Ball Super , much to the delectation of fans of his former works .
