Just occurred to me that there might not be one

Saiyan saga has kaioken which isn’t technically a form but may as well be Frieza saga has super Saiyan, cell saga has super Saiyan grades and super Saiyan 2, buu has super Saiyan 3, bog has god, then blue, blue evolved and ui

Am I missing one?

    GT only has one new transformation and several arcs. In Super, I believe there is no new transformation in the first tournament arc? Unless you count the combination of Kaioken and Blue.

      GT is pretty bad, not really done by Toriyama, and was written out as cannon. In the DB world it no longer exists.

        That’s a fair opinion to have since I believe even Toriyama said as much. However, in the end there is no such thing as a true canon - with the manga, anime and movies there are 3 different canons for Super alone. And personally speaking, they all suck just as much as GT did except for a few of the movies.

      No that’s true actually, wouldn’t really count blue kaioken as a new form as it’s just a new way of using existing stuff though again serves the same purpose to the story

      Haven’t seen GT yet so couldn’t comment there though ssj4 is absolutely the coolest looking transformation

        GT is absolutely a slog to sit through until the Baby arc. GT’s Pan is also the most annoying character in Dragonball history.

          I disagree. Pan is the breath of fresh air the series needed and it’s a real disappointment we don’t see more of her.
