"A power level of 530,000! I remember when Son Goku fought Ginyu earlier; his power level was only 180,000," Duanmu Yan remarked, his voice tight with disbelief as he stared at the screen. "Frieza's power is nearly three times that amount!"
Across the dimensions, Kaido let out a low, rumbling growl, his eyes narrowing. "I wonder how we, the top powerhouses of our respective worlds, would measure up against such a monster."
In the Hidden Leaf Village, Uzumaki Naruto scratched his head, analyzing the tactical possibilities. "It's a real shame Son Goku doesn't have his tail anymore. If Vegeta could create an artificial moon, Goku could transform into a Great Ape. With a ten-fold increase, his power level would hit 1,800,000. He'd be able to crush Frieza easily!"
Sanji exhaled a cloud of smoke, shaking his head at the blonde ninja's suggestion. "The problem is that Goku loses his mind when he goes Great Ape. He becomes a mindless beast. It would be far more logical to let Vegeta take that form instead; at least he keeps his wits about him."
Li Xinnan frowned, crossing his arms. "But even with Vegeta's current strength, would a ten-fold boost be enough? Would he even stand a chance against Frieza?"
"That depends entirely on whether Vegeta's base power level has surpassed 53,000 before the transformation," Zhang Chulan chimed in, his eyes darting across the data. "But even then, I don't think letting Vegeta transform is a good idea. Think about itâonce Frieza is out of the picture, who's going to stop a Great Ape Vegeta? Goku and the others would be doomed anyway."
In another world, Horii adjusted his glasses, his scientific mind racing. "I see. So this 'Super Saiyan' transformation is the true trump card meant to handle Frieza. Since the Great Ape form increases power by ten times, then the Super Saiyan state must be significantly more potent than that."
Daigo nodded in agreement. "Exactly. If Son Goku achieves the Super Saiyan form, his power level will be at least 1,800,000, if not much higher."
The comments flashed across the multiversal screen, and back on Planet Namek, Vegeta's veins began to throb with fury. "How could Kakarotâthat low-class, pathetic warriorâever transform into a Super Saiyan!" he roared, his pride wounded. "The only one destined to become the legendary Super Saiyan is me!"
Vegeta could tolerate the others discussing his role as a mere support for Kakarot. He could even endure the claim that he wasn't Frieza's equal. But the suggestion that Kakarot would be the one to reach the pinnacle of Saiyan legend? That was an insult he could not stand.
Far away on his spaceship, Frieza swirled his glass of fine wine, a chilling, disdainful smile playing on his lips as he watched the interdimensional chatter. "Oh ho ho ho... 1,800,000? Do you truly believe that even if this Son Goku-san possessed such a pittance of power, he could defeat me? You know absolutely nothing of my true strength."
Frieza sipped his wine, his eyes glowing with cold malice. His current power level was indeed 530,000, but that was merely his suppressed, weakest state. If he unleashed his full potential, a mere 1,800,000 would be nothing more than a nuisance.
His fear of the Super Saiyan legend was beginning to fade; it seemed the transformation was just a slightly more efficient version of the "stinky monkey" form. Even if the boost was twenty-fold, putting Goku at 3,600,000, it still wouldn't be enough to topple the Emperor of the Universe.
"So, the Super Saiyan isn't so terrifying after all," Frieza mused to himself. "Nevertheless, the Saiyans must still be exterminated. I won't allow even the slightest threat to my reign to exist in the future."
He turned his thoughts toward the one responsible for these videos. Akiraâthe transmigrator who had released this footageâclearly possessed extraordinary tactical knowledge. Very few knew Frieza's exact power level of 530,000, yet Akira knew it precisely. Such a talent, Frieza thought, would be a valuable asset to my army.
Frieza's comment caused a massive shockwave across the worlds. He had essentially confirmed that his true power was far beyond 1,800,000. The viewers were left reeling, unable to fathom the depths of Frieza's hidden strength or the true potential of the Super Saiyan form.
This was exactly what Akira intended. He knew that showing the final battle immediately would lessen the impact. By building the tension step-by-stepâfirst through the Ginyu Force, then through Frieza's overwhelming presenceâthe eventual birth of the Super Saiyan would feel truly earned.
This was the legendary method of the Great Creator, and Akira wasn't about to change what worked. Unlike the Sun God Nika transformation, which seemed to appear out of thin air with retroactive "foreshadowing" that fans desperately tried to justify, the Super Saiyan was being built on a foundation of pure dread and anticipation.
In the video, the tension reached a boiling point. After Frieza brutally defeated Nail, he confronted the Grand Elder of Namek, demanding the incantation for the Dragon Balls. The Grand Elder revealed he had already sent the secret to a young Namekian named Dende. Realizing he had been played, Frieza flew back in a murderous rage to intercept the boy.
Simultaneously, Krillin and Gohan moved. While Vegeta was deep in a weary sleep, they smuggled the Dragon Balls to a secluded location. Dende arrived just in time, and with his help, the Namekian ShenronâPorungaâwas summoned.
The sky turned pitch black, a cosmic omen that jolted Vegeta awake. Seeing the dragon's glow in the distance, Vegeta realized he had been tricked and took to the sky in a desperate pursuit.
Unlike Earth's dragon, Porunga could grant three wishes. As the Z-Fighters debated who to bring back, Piccolo's voice cut through. He suggested reviving himself first; his resurrection would bring Kami back to life, thereby restoring the Earth's Dragon Balls. The plan was sound. Piccolo was revived and, for the second wish, requested to be sent to Planet Namek to defend his home.
But as they moved to make the third wish, time ran out. A streak of white light tore through the air. Vegeta had arrived, and the true nightmare was only just beginning.
