Saiyan Information
Saiyan
The Saiyans are a race of warriors with superhuman strength. They were from Planet Vegeta. Frieza blew up their home planet and their species became endangered. The only Saiyans left were Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta. Then Trunks and Goten came along. As the Saiyan fathers have kids, the once-endangered race is now growing again. The first Saiyans were evil and destructive. Goku was once evil, but he became good and Gohan was, too. Vegeta starts out as an evil Saiyan until he joins the Z Fighters. Saiyans have black hair and black eyes. A pure-blooded Saiyan's hair never changes or grows in his lifetime. It stays the same. That's why the hairdo of Gohan (who is half-Saiyan) has changed several times in his life. Although Yamcha has the characteristics of a Saiyan, he isn't one.
Super Saiyan
This transformation is achieved when a Saiyan becomes extremely angry. When he transforms, his hair will turn blonde/gold and spike up. Also, his eyes will turn green instead of black. There will also be a big yellow glow around him if he's powered up, but there is no glow if his power is down to a minimum. This stage is reached by Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Trunks, Goten, and Brolly. (Please tell me if I missed anyone) Pan is the only Saiyan who can't reach this stage.
Ultra Super Saiyan
This utterly useless transformation is not necessary in the process between Super Saiyan 1 and 2. A Super Saiyan must become even angrier in order to reach this stage. This stage was achieved by Goku, Vegeta, Trunks, and Brolly. During this transformation, a Saiyan's pupils disappear and his eyeballs are completely white making him look like a monster. Another big change is the change in muscle. A Saiyan gets humongous, bulky muscles that slow him down a lot. That's why this stage is useless.
Super Saiyan 2
During this stage, a Saiyan's muscle extent increases a little and his hair becomes bigger. He also acquires
incredible speed and agility. SS1 sucks compared to SS2. The indication of Super Saiyan 2 is that the Saiyan gets one strand of hair hanging down on his forehead, when in SS1, there are two or three strands of hair hanging down. There is also lightning bolts flickering around the Saiyan's body. Gohan is the first Saiyan to reach this form while fighting Cell. There are some other people that reach it, but I'm not sure who they all are.
Super Saiyan 3
This is the weirdest of all Saiyan transformations. His gold, spiky hair grows down to his ANKLES and his power increases by an astonishing amount. His eyebrows also disappear, which might be the cause of the "devilish look." The only downside of this form is that a Saiyan must use all of his energy to reach it, therefore he can only stay in this form for 20 minutes. The only Saiyans who can reach this transformation are Goku and Gotenks(the fusion of Goten and Trunks).
Super Saiyan 4
The characteristics of this stage are: A Saiyan's hair color goes back to being black, he grows red fur around his chest, and his tail grows back and it becomes red. His power level is so large, he becomes literally invincible. This stage has no downsides and no other living being in the universe is stronger than a Super Saiyan 4. Goku is the only one who can reach this form without cheating. Vegeta reaches this form, too, but Bulma does all the work. She creates a device called a Brute Wave that will increase Vegeta's strength. While in Super Saiyan 2, Vegeta uses this device and easily powers up to SS4, skipping SS3 in the process. Later, SS4 Goku and SS4 Vegeta fuse to become Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta, the strongest person in the entire universe.
Oozaru
Any Saiyan (with a tail) can reach this form. Oozaru is Japanese for "Monkey King." At the sight of a full moon, a Saiyan transforms into a giant ape with an incredible power level. Vegeta is the only one who can control his actions while in this form.
Golden Oozaru
This form must be achieved first before a person reaches SS4. Goku reached this stage while fighting Bebi Vegeta. He became extremely strong, but became even stronger when he saw Pan crying. Then he turned Super Saiyan 4.
