When the body’s natural floodgates are opened with the transformation, excess energy is radiated from the body in the form of a pulsating, flame-like aura. The natural eye color changes to greenish-blue, the muscle tone becomes clearer, and the skin tone (and clothes) become lighter, mainly due to the energy and light output of the golden aura. This applies to all of the Saiyan’s hair except (in most cases) the tail, including scalp hair, eyebrows, and fur when they become a Great Golden Ape.

Having no more options, Goku’s anger rose, causing him to gain a massive power increase, manifesting his Super Saiyan powers and making him become like a Super Saiyan, enough to quickly overwhelm Slug. However, it is implied by King Kai that even this state would be unable to defeat Great Namekian Slug.ĭuring the battle against Lord Slug, Goku’s strength began to quickly deteriorate. The Pseudo Super Saiyan form gives a large power increase, enough for Goku, who was being easily beaten previously by Slug, to now quickly overwhelm him.
