Furthermore, users can conserve their energy while in Super Saiyan Blue and reserve it purely for ki based attacks, as opposed to the Super Saiyan 2 and 3 forms which constantly leak ki at all times. For the most part, Goku and Vegeta use their normal Super Saiyan forms while ascertaining an opponent's strength, and only use Super Saiyan Blue when they decide to go all out against powerful foes, or to end a fight quickly.ĭue to the improved ki control associated with this form after it is mastered, Super Saiyan Blue can be used for far longer periods and more drawn out battles. Super Saiyan Blue provides a drastic increase in raw power as compared to other Super Saiyan forms. When first unlocked, it also drains a great deal of ki on the level of Super Saiyan 3, which slowly diminishes over time with experience. It also takes a great deal of time to master, and its full potential will only be unlocked after considerable training. Those unable to sense godly ki will not be able to comprehend the power level of Super Saiyan Blue as it does not use normal ki.

Compared to the Super Saiyan God form, a Saiyan who has achieved Super Saiyan Blue will also have a slightly more well-defined musculature, to highlight the increase in power.

This aligns better with the divine nature of the transformation while also differentiating it from previous versions of Super Saiyan. Additionally, their irises will also turn blue, following the color of their hair.Īccording to Akira Toriyama, the blue aura of the transformation signifies that the Saiyan using it has become strong yet tranquil, as opposed to the rage-fueled states of traditional Super Saiyan forms. The Saiyan's hair will turn cyan or light blue as opposed to gold, but have the same shape as it does in their normal Super Saiyan form. Small sparkling particles also appear to travel upwards within the aura, with occasional bursts of electricity emanating from it. Visually, the form bears a lot of similarities to the standard Super Saiyan transformation, except for the fact that the aura associated with it is a fiery electric blue instead of the usual golden. Super Saiyan Blue is the divine equivalent of the standard Super Saiyan form, where a Saiyan who has attained godly ki and ascended to the level of a Super Saiyan God, will reach this level on raising their energy enough to turn into a Super Saiyan.
