Saiya-jin (Sayin)

History and Original Idea

(Information constructed from research.)

The Saiya-jin are a ruthless race of ape-like people who are very strong but few in numbers. "Fighting is in their blood, it is like a sixth sense." Though very few they manage to defeat all their opponents by one special gift, the moonlight. With the tail they have, they have the ability to change into giant ape monsters. This enables them to increase their fighting power ten times greater than it normally is. Their planet was destroyed by Frieza only four Saiya-jins remain: Raditz, Nappa, Vegeta, and Son Goku. They were the last. As the story progresses half-blooded Saiya-jins were born, such as Gohan, Trunks, and Goten.

When a Saiya-jin looks at the full moon he or she turns into a giant ape monster. The Saiya-jin must have a tail in order to transform. Thus it is the root of their power. Since sometimes the moon isn't up, the Saiya-jin have developed a new technique that lets them create artificial moonlight. It helps them transform.

Super Saiya-jins are said to come every one thousand years as the story was told by Vegeta. But as we know the key ingredient that triggers a Super Saiya-jin is a great amount of anger. Super Saiya-jins are said to have no equal in the universe, but I guess that's not true because of how strong the Androids, Cell, and Buu were. They are relatively stronger than a regular Saiya-jin and can transform in and out of it.

Physical Description: increased muscle mass and power. Hair turns gold and stands on its end

Super Saiya-jin 2 is accomplished with even greater rage than when turning into a Super Saiya-jin. But this stage is easier to accomplish because of already going the first time. The power level of a Super Saiya-jin 2 is enormous as we witnessed when Gohan defeated Cell. Majin Vegeta was so powerful at the level of a Super Sayia-jin 2 that he named himself Super Vegeta, giving himself a very popular title.

Physical Description: Increased muscle mass and power, higher than a Super Saiya-jin. Golden hair is longer than a Super Saiya-jin. At this level, the Saiya-jin has the ability to concentrate on a single trait to build up. For example, Trunks focused more on strength thus making his speed weaker. Vegeta got smart and built up on all his traits making him better and stronger.

Super Saiya-jin 3 was accomplished only by Goku and Gotenks. To get to this level, the Saiya-jin must be pushed to extreme limits before reaching it. This level is easier to achieve because of already learning going through the first two stages.

Physical Description: The strength here is incredible. They are much more stronger than a Super Saiya-jin 2. The eyebrows also disappear. The hair is long and golden. It extends to about the knees. Since they are more powerful it takes up too much energy, thus making them tire easily. Resting does not build up their strength, it makes them lose it.

This level is considered to be called beyond the Super Saiya-jin because the hair turns black. The eyes turn into an evil look. To turn into one the Saiya-jin must have a tail, be a Super Saiya-jin, transform in a Golden Oozaru and then concentrate your ki.

Conversion

The closest things I see to the Saiya-jins are the Hanumen of the Hsien (see Land of Eight Million Dreams) the Tao Qi Gui and the Pooka, so their traits will be combined.

Appearance

The saiya-jin wani form is similar to the wani form of the hanumen. The saiya-jin Mask of Shintai is their Oozaru form. (Note: the Oozaru form is about the same size as the hanumen Mask of Shintai
