Super Saiyan C-type

"Super Saiyan C-type" is not this article's official English name, it is used as there is currently no official translation or suitable name.

Super Saiyan C-type (超スーパーサイヤ人じんＣシータイプ, Sūpā Saiya-jin Shī-Taipu) is a form utilized by the Legendary Super Saiyan and as such is a different evolution from the ordinary Super Saiyan.^[1]

When used by the original version of Broly and Kale in the anime, it is their equivalent to an ordinary Super Saiyan.

Most media simply refers to this form as Super Saiyan (超スーパーサイヤ人じん, Sūpā Saiya-jin).^[2]

Overview[]

Appearance[]

The appearance of Super Saiyan C-Type varies slightly with its user. For Broly, his eyes turn blue and his hair flares out and turns yellow, much like the standard Super Saiyan form. However, his hair is more of a dull yellow, light green color instead of gold like most other Saiyans. Right before his first transformation into the Legendary Super Saiyan, Broly's hair flashed green as his mind control device shattered. Due to the lighting such as while Broly was in space and, to a lesser extent when powering up during Paragus's flashback, the hair at times appeared red (as a kid), pink, and purple. To a lesser extent, the form also appears to have darker eyes due to the lighting at times.

Kale becomes slightly taller with noticeable musculature increases in mass and definition, but not nearly as much as the Legendary Super Saiyan. Her hair takes on a dull yellow with a very light green tint compared to usual Super Saiyans in its first appearance. However, the aura retains the untinted golden hue of a typical Super Saiyan transformation. Her skin also becomes pale.

Usage and Power[]

In the Dragon Ball Z movies, in this form Broly is powerful enough to defeat both Goten and Trunks as Super Saiyans at the same time and is able to outmatch base Gohan, despite Gohan having powered up considerably since his previous encounter with Broly,^[3] though base Gohan is able to hold his own. Upon seeing Gohan turn Super Saiyan 2, Broly responded by taking on his Legendary Super Saiyan form. The form was apparently powerful enough to blow up a planet, based on Paragus' flashbacks. Broly in this state was also shown to be strong enough to elbow Paragus in the face hard enough to gouge the latter's eye out.

This form is a Super Saiyan form with perfect energy control.^[4] It is very similar to and is a variation of the first Super Saiyan form, though it is of a different evolution.^[1] In the Dragon Ball Z films, this form is treated almost exactly the same as the regular Super Saiyan. The form was also depicted as being extremely fast, as demonstrated when, after Goten speculates that Broly left the area after his earlier attack, he noticed Broly appear right in front of them.

In the Dragon Ball Super anime, when Kale used the form, she possessed enough strength to partake in the battle between Caulifla and Goku - who were both in the Super Saiyan 2 form, though it is weaker than the Legendary Super Saiyan form.

A user of this form cannot maintain the form while they are either in a coma or otherwise asleep unlike the Super Saiyan Full Power state, which is especially evident in Paragus' flashback to his outfitting the crown onto Broly, and later when Broly fell into a coma seven years prior. It is also noted that the legendary Saiyan is born strong enough to become a Super Saiyan. Aside from the standard gold hair, it also has various different hair colors depending on the lighting, including Auburn as well as pink/purple and lime green.

In the anime, Kale gained this form when rather than feeling self-loathing, she felt a greater desire to become better due to Caulifla's belief in her even in a dire situation, granting her control over her formerly Berserk form and also gaining this transformation. Kale utilized this form in battle with Kahseral's team of Pride Troopers, attaining it to break out of Cocotte's Cocotte Zone. She then uses it alongside Caulifla to clash with the Pride Troopers, before powering up into Legendary Super Saiyan. She later uses this form again in order to fight Goku in his Super Saiyan 2 form alongside Caulifla.

In Super Dragon Ball Heroes, Kale uses this form fighting Oren and Kamin alongside Super Saiyan Caulifla, however the two artificial lifeforms consider them boring foes.

Film Appearances[]

In Dragon Ball Z: Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan, Broly utilizes this form in flashbacks when becoming enraged at the appearance and mention of Kakarot he proceeds to transform from Super Saiyan A-type into C-type Super Saiyan (with green hair) - back to A-type Super Saiyan - and then into Legendary Super Saiyan.^[1]

In Dragon Ball Z: Broly - Second Coming, upon arriving on Earth, Broly transforms into this form, he utilizes it in his battles with Videl, Goten, Trunks, and Gohan until Gohan becomes a Super Saiyan 2, and thus Broly responds by becoming a Legendary Super Saiyan.

Video Game Appearances[]

Trivia[]

Caulifla mis-colored in the colored manga
Vegeta's hair turning green prior to blonde
Goku's green aura before turning Super Saiyan Blue

In the colored version of the Dragon Ball Super manga, Caulifla is mis-colored in one panel to have the C-type variation's hair color as a Super Saiyan.
In Dragon Ball Super: Broly, when Vegeta transforms into a Super Saiyan, his hair first turned green for a brief moment before turning into the usual gold color. When transforming into Super Saiyan Blue, Goku would give off green aura before completing the transformation.
Oddly enough, when Goku gains ki transfer from Vegeta and catches Broly's dashing punch in the climax to The Legendary Super Saiyan, Goku's hair briefly turns a similar shade of green that was seen briefly with Broly's C-type transformation, and to a greater extent in Broly's Legendary Super Saiyan form.
When showing Broly as a teenager in the form via flashback, just before Paragus tries to restrain him only for the insane Saiyan to elbow his father in the eye hard enough to gouge it out, he was shown with slightly pink hair due to the lighting as a result of both his powering up and him being in space at the time, giving a superficial similarity to Super Saiyan Rosé. Coincidentally, a fusion between Broly and Goku Black, who had the form in question, would later appear called Karoly Black.
