actually this was the original appearance of Super Saiyan 3

One of the transformations that continue to impress over time is that of the Super Saiyan phase 3. This is an impressive demonstration that in the first place Goku performs to slow down the villain a bit Majin Boo. Since she appeared, she left us all. gaping although at that time the most powerful warrior in Dragon Ball he did not completely dominate her.

But like any story, to be successful, it has to go through a process. And of course Dragon Ball is no exception. More than 30 years of success are the result of a formula that took a lot of work. In addition to some combination of components that perhaps we never saw come out. First you had to write the story, then draw it in the manga and later take it to the anime. So today we are going to show you the first appearance that Goku had as SSJ phase 3.

The Super Saiyan 3 in Dragon Ball Z

We know the transformation but we are going to describe it anyway. It starts out like all Super Saiyans, changing the hair color from black to yellow. Then it goes to phase 2 in which the muscles grow a little and there are flashes of electricity around the Ki. Finally, and here comes the good, comes phase 3. In this phase, the yellow hair begins an impressive growth that reaches the back of the knees. The features of the face change completely, because the warrior who reaches it loses his eyebrows, but it is because some facial components become inflamed. The end result is a serious and intimidating warrior for any enemy.

However that was not its original appearance, the IGN Latan portal revealed some original sketches. These were published in Daizenshuu 4, an encyclopedia of the Dragon Ball world. Two options are shown in this book. The first appears the warrior with longer hair than in phase 2, but keeping the upward direction. While in the second Goku appears with a tail, a situation that reveals that Akira wanted to return the tail to the Saiyan warriors.
