For Dragon Ball Z fans, each Super Saiyan form presented for the first time is a special event in itself. Among these forms, Super Saiyan 3, which Goku unleashed in the confrontation with Majin Buu in episode 245, broadcast in 1994, holds an even more special place in the hearts of fans.
However, there is one thing that few fans know, behind the scenes of creating the shape of this state, author Akira Toriyama once gave Super Saiyan 3 a completely different version of the shape we know. When comparing this sketch with the final version, there are differences in several aspects.
Super Saiyan 3 state inherently has 2 sketches.
The first Super Saiyan 3 sketch has hair that is slightly longer than the Super Saiyan 2 state, but shorter than the official Super Saiyan 3 version. In particular, the unofficial version also has an extra long tail. .
A fan created a colorized version of this draft, showing how it would have looked in the anime if Toriyama had kept it as the final result.
It can be seen that, after coloring, this version is somewhat similar to Vegeta's appearance when in his Ultra Ego state in Dragon Ball Super. Although it has not been confirmed, fans believe that the old sketch was used for the new transformation of the Saiyan prince. Please look at the image below for an exact comparison!
So what do you think about this?
