"...But that was then and this is now. I know you're ready, I can tell. You've been training like never before. Ok, now we just need to get the conditions right for you. After that, you might even reach Super Saiyan 5!"
Bulma to Vegeta in "The Heart of the Prince"

Super Saiyan 5 (超サイヤ人5 Sūpā Saiya-jin Faibu) is a hypothetical Saiyan transformation that was briefly mentioned in Dragon Ball GT.

Overview[]

The existence of this transformation was speculated on in Dragon Ball GT by Bulma in reference to her Blutz Wave Generator that she hoped would be enough to allow her husband, Vegeta, to ascend to Super Saiyan 4. After hearing this, Vegeta wondered if such a thing were possible, and noted that with it he would surpass Goku. In the original Japanese version Bulma states that she believes Vegeta could "surpass Super Saiyan 4" - to which Vegeta refers to the possibility of a Super Saiyan 5 by name, while in the dub Bulma is the one to first mention a possible Super Saiyan 5.

Trivia[]

  • The possibility of a Super Saiyan 5 was brought up in "Twel-Buu Mysteries", but Akira Toriyama made no comment on it.[1]
  • In an interview with Funimation voice actors for the magazine, Anime Insider[2], Mike McFarland made mention of what he believed a hypothetical Super Saiyan 5 would look like. “You know when Roshi turns all buff in Dragon Ball?” asks McFarland. “He looks like that, with long flowing, glowing half-black, half-blonde hair, and a monkey tail.” Script Supervisor Jeremy Carlisle then added in “And he rides a shark!”. Voice Actor Eric Vale then jokingly replied that his view of Super Saiyan 5 would be Gary Coleman.
