Legendary Super Saiyan (伝説の超サイヤ人 Densetsu no Sūpā Saiya-jin) is a Super Saiyan transformation unique to the Legendary Saiyan, who is born every one thousand years. The form is far different from the other Super Saiyan transformations. The fourth and latest Legendary Super Saiyan is Broly.
Dragon Ball Multiverse has a different take on the transformation than the original Dragon Ball Z movies, notably making it much stronger.
Appearance[]
A Legendary Super Saiyan's appearance is significantly different than a regular Super Saiyan, being far more muscular and taller. A Legendary Super Saiyan's hair is also more of a green color than a regular Super Saiyan's golden color.
Background[]
Every one thousand years, one Saiyan is born as "Legendary". The Saiyan is very strong compared to most Saiyans, and is inhabited by violence and rage. The Legendary Saiyan can turn into a Super Saiyan easily, and uniquely has access to the Legendary Super Saiyan transformation.
The third Legendary Super Saiyan in Dragon Ball Multiverse was a Saiyan named Romanesco. However, his transformation was short lived as he was destroyed by the Kaioshins. The fourth Legendary Super Saiyan is Broly, a Saiyan born on the same day as Goku. In many universes, Broly was driven insane by Goku's constant crying while in a Saiyan nursery, and he would later remember Goku when meeting again as adults. Seeing Goku would cause Broly to lash out at Goku and cause massive destruction. However, in many universes, Goku would destroy Broly.
Strengths[]
Unlike normal Super Saiyan, Legendary Super Saiyan does not simply multiply the user's power. Rather, the user's power continuously increases indefinitely as they accrete energy from around them.[1] The more powerful they become, the greater the shock needs to be in order to knock them out of the form. Magic will also eventually become ineffective against the Saiyan if they grow too powerful.[2]
The form also makes the Saiyan completely indestructible; they can be pushed away, but not harmed. Wounds or bleeding cannot be caused (although dust marks can appear on the user's skin). As Salagir states, "Vegetto fused with himself 100 times and in SSJ999999 can't hurt Broly."[3]
Additionally, the Saiyan does not need to eat, drink or breathe while in this form, and does not tire.[1][4] However, their power will not grow unless they are breathing; for example, Broly would not get stronger if he is trapped in ice or constantly pushed by attacks with no time to take his breath.[5]
Weaknesses[]
Although Legendary Super Saiyan is extremely powerful, it has several exploitable weaknesses. For example, the longer the user stays in the form, the more they will become blinded by rage and lose their ability to reason. This even affects Dr. Raichi's Ghost Warriors, as Broly eventually became incapable of following orders.
Legendary Super Saiyan also cannot be activated at will, and is instead triggered by big fights.[6] The form takes some time to access, leaving the user open to attacks, as seen when Vegeta of Universe 13 killed Ghost Broly before he could finish transforming.
Although the user is indestructible in this form, they can still feel pain.[7] A strong enough psychological shock can knock the user out of Legendary Super Saiyan, leaving them vulnerable. This is the only known way for the user to turn back to normal.
The form also drastically reduces the lifetime of the user. Their own power will ultimately destroy them in time, because the body cannot keep up with the power increase. Subsequent generations have a better tolerance for this weakness, as each Legendary Saiyan lives longer than his predecessor. The first Legendary Saiyan lived only a few minutes while transformed, dying as a baby. The second, Brasca, lived for a few hours. The third, Romanesco, was killed by the Kaioshin a few hours after transforming, but he would have survived for a few days otherwise. Broly's lifespan in the form is uncertain, but it would definitely be less than a year.[8]
