Culture news DBZ: The legendary Super Saiyan of Dragon Ball really exists, but it is neither Son Goku, nor Broly and even less Vegeta if we believe this interview with Akira Toriyama!
Who is the legendary Super Saiyan and what is his history ? Akira Toriyama has an answer that should end most debates on this subject…
It’s neither Goku nor Broly
There Dragon Ball franchise Although I’m no longer young, even after all these years, Akira Toriyama’s work has not yet revealed all of its mysteries. Among these, the debate on the identity of the legendary Super Saiyan, the figure who terrorized even Frieza the Space Tyrant, still excites many fans. For years, the speculations have multiplied about who this super-powered warrior was, some thought it was Goku, others thought it was Broly… But the truth is now confirmed by the creator himself, Akira Toriyama: the legendary Super Saiyan is Yamoshi, a forgotten hero in Saiyan history. You may already know his name, since Shenron mentions this to Goku when the latter speaks to him about the Super Saiyan God, but also because it was his legend that created Frieza’s fear of Saiyans, pushing him to go so far as to destroy Planet Vegeta to avoid the possible return of a Super Saiyan. Yamoshi is undoubtedly a fundamental character of the lore from Dragon Ball.
“His transformation and fearsome fighting style shocked the other Saiyans”
In an interview for SaikyÅ Jump translated by Kanzenshuu, Toriyama tells the story of Yamoshi in this way and how it is became Universe 7’s first known Super Saiyan.
Was the “Legendary Super Saiyan” that Frieza was afraid of the Super Saiyan God we see in Battle of Gods?
In a way, they are the same person. That is to say, a long time ago, before planet Vegeta was the planet of Saiyans, there was a man named Yamoshi who had a righteous heart despite being a Saiyan. He and his five comrades started a rebellion, but he was cornered by fighters and transformed into a Super Saiyan for the first time, although his transformation and fearsome fighting style shocked the other Saiyans. Outnumbered, Yamoshi eventually exhausted himself and was defeated, but that was only the beginning of his legend. Afterwards, Yamoshi’s mind continually wandered in search of six righteous-hearted Saiyans, in order to find a new savior: the Super Saiyan God.

Yamoshi present in Dragon Ball: DAIMA?
Although his silhouette was only glimpsed in the manga or anime, Yamoshi’s story is crucial to understanding the origin of the Super Saiyan myth. Indeed, as Toriyama says, legend has it that Yamoshi’s soul persisted, waiting for the moment when six pure-hearted Saiyans could finally summon him. And precisely, this legend came true when Goku and his allies called upon the Super Saiyan God in Battle of Gods. Now, with the upcoming release of Dragon Ball: DAIMAfans are wondering if we finally see the story of Yamoshi and the saga of the Saiyans be deepened on screen. Additionally, with Goku, Vegeta, and Broly reaching unimaginable levels of power, including Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego, the threat of a new legendary Super Saiyan has never been more real. As the manga enters a new chapter with the possible threat of Black Frieza, the future of the Z Warriors seems more uncertain than ever.
