A Saiyan who can't transform is just a weakling, or so Yuujin believes.
The transformation here, of course, doesn't refer to the ordinary Great Ape transformation but the Super Saiyan transformation.
Though Saiyans are known as the strongest warrior race in the universe, many beings out there are still more powerful. However, once a Saiyan transforms into a Super Saiyan, things change completely. Even reaching the simplest Super Saiyan 1 boosts their combat power fiftyfold, making it a downright cheat!
After years of hard training, Yuujin and Goku now have power levels exceeding a million, making them absolutely invincible within the solar system and nearby star regions.
But the opponent they'll face in the future is none other than Frieza, the cosmic emperor with a combat power of 120 million. This level of power is far from enough; their only way to defeat him is to transform into Super Saiyans!
Although it's been years, Yuujin still remembers many details from the original Dragon Ball story, including some methods for transforming into a Super Saiyan.
Originally, it was said a Saiyan needed a pure and kind heart, rigorous training, and an intense emotional trigger, like Goku's fury, to achieve Super Saiyan transformation. But then Vegeta succeeded through sheer pride as the Saiyan prince, refusing to lose to someone like Kakarot, a mere low-class warrior. That explanation didn't hold either.
Later, Goku and Vegeta's children—Gohan, Goten, and Trunks—also achieved Super Saiyan transformation. Gohan's case is somewhat understandable, as he underwent intense training with Piccolo and his father, Goku, faced various Saiyan and Frieza crises, and ultimately transformed under the intense pressure from the androids threatening Earth's destruction.
But Goten and Trunks' transformation was baffling. Neither possessed an absolute sense of justice, nor an intense pride, nor had they endured harsh training or life-threatening crises—they were just two playful kids. Yet they transformed into Super Saiyans so easily and inexplicably.
And that's not all. In Dragon Ball Super, there's a method where, by focusing all energy on one's back and shouting, one can transform into a Super Saiyan.
Caulifla, Kale, and Cabba achieved their transformations this way, and quickly advanced through Super Saiyan 1, Super Saiyan 2, and beyond.
Despite the abundance of methods to become a Super Saiyan, none of them seem reliable to Yuujin!
Most of them are dubious, especially the idea of concentrating energy on the back and shouting to transform—that's absurd. Yuujin is sure it won't work!
Over the years, Yuujin tried various methods to transform into a Super Saiyan, but every attempt ended in failure. This made him realize that he's living in a real world, not the anime or movies he once watched, and becoming a Super Saiyan is far harder than it seems!
Ultimately, these transformations and evolutions are part of the Saiyan genetic trait. So, besides training with Goku to discover transformation methods, Yuujin also had Bulma create a research team to analyze their genetic traits.
Now, it seems Bulma's research has yielded some results!
"So, how do Goku and I unlock this gene?"
Yuujin asked, with a trace of anticipation.
"According to our data, some cells in both your and Goku's bodies have already unlocked this gene."
"Some of our cells have unlocked it already?" Yuujin was surprised at Bulma's answer.
"Yes, although they are extremely rare, we confirmed their existence."
"Compared to your other cells, these unlocked cells, which I've named 'S cells,' are highly active and contain immense energy."
"So, does that mean Goku and I have to turn all our cells into these S cells to transform into Super Saiyans?"
"That's not necessary. Based on our predictions, it should be enough if the number of S cells in your bodies reaches a certain threshold."
Yuujin frowned but relaxed after hearing Bulma's response.
Bulma explained that the number of these S cells in their bodies is scarce, and with 40 to 60 trillion cells in the human body, if every cell had to turn into an S cell, it would be nearly impossible for them to transform.
But merely reaching a certain S cell count is achievable!
"Bulma, have you found a way to increase the number of S cells in me and Goku?"
"Perhaps through immense energy, strong emotional stimuli, or other factors."
"Sorry, but we haven't yet found a definite method," Bulma said, looking apologetic.
Yuujin comforted her, "You've already done so much; there's no need to apologize."
"You've exceeded all my expectations—it's me being greedy."
Yuujin gently tapped Bulma's forehead, then closed the distance, pressing his lips against hers as his hands began to undo her clothing.
Bulma, now intensely sensitive to Yuujin's touch, allowed his advances, her eyes soon filled with hazy desire.
"No, not here, Yuujin…" she pleaded, managing a sliver of self-awareness.
Her pleas fell on deaf ears, only intensifying Yuujin's excitement.
"No, I want it here!" he declared with an authoritative grin, turning to his maids.
"Suno, Meizhen, call the other researchers here."
"They've all performed admirably. I want to reward each of them."
"Yes, Lord Yuujin," Suno and Meizhen blushed slightly, bowing before carrying out his orders.
In no time, the other female researchers gathered, followed by the sound of clothes tearing and soft gasps, as scenes of indulgent debauchery unfolded across the lab.
To be continued…
Author Notes: The concept of needing S cells to transform into a Super Saiyan isn't my invention. Akira Toriyama mentioned it, so you can look it up. While it may seem a bit strange, it does explain all the chaotic transformations so far.
