The form also apparently has a seemingly magical ability to restore the wearer's clothing (in a manner reminiscent of Magic Materialization or clothing produced by the Metamoran Fusion Dance) even if it had been destroyed as a result of transforming into a Great Ape and/or Golden Great Ape beforehand to achieve Super Saiyan 4. While in this form, there is also a yellow colored aura. However, the main key differences are that Broly is utilizing his Legendary version of the Super Saiyan 4 transformation, which does not have any visible pupils in his eyes, and has massively oversized muscles. All of which possess having very long black or dark colored hair, a reddish colored fur, and a red outline for around the eyes. His aura also has yellow sparkles to it.īroly's Super Saiyan 4 transformation is fairly similar to Goku's, Gohan's and Vegeta's Super Saiyan 4 transformation. In the case of the Fusion Dance warrior Gogeta, the coloration of the aforementioned features seemingly switches, as Gogeta's hair became a bright shade of red whereas his fur became a dark shade of brown and the trim around his eyes were black instead of red. The aura in this form loses the arcs of electricity, once again shaped like a regular Super Saiyan's smooth aura, (although in various video games, the aura was depicted as reddish with a small yellowish glow and sparks of bio-electricity). It also makes the individual considerably larger in height and muscularity, as shown by Vegeta when his time limit ended and he reverted to his considerably smaller size. The hair is lengthened while becoming wilder, reaching down to the middle of their back, while two long pointed bangs of hair appear on both sides of the neck. A Saiyan in this form also possesses a shadow trim around their eyes and over the eyelids that varies in color, such as crimson. In this form, the Saiyan's hair color differs, the same goes for the tail and the body is covered in red fur. The form possesses all of the power of Golden Great Ape.
The form's power is too great to be utilized by a child and so a child user is aged into an adult when using it. A user of this form loses some of their rationality. But for others, it can make them very cold and aggressive.
This form gives the user the super strength and speed of a Great Ape, but with a calm, clever mind. It is possibly the Legendary Super Saiyan that appears once every 1,000 years. The form is a combination of the Super Saiyan and Great Ape forms attained through the Golden Great Ape form, it gifts the Saiyan with primal power, though they retain a humanoid appearance. The Super Saiyan 4 form was designed by Toei Animation's character designer Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru. In Dragon Ball Heroes Gohan acquired the form without a tail while training, and Xeno Trunks was originally going to have acquired the form too showing that even Half-Saiyans born without tails can still acquire Super Saiyan 4. Even after this form is attained, it cannot be accessed at will and requires exposure to Blutz Waves every time the user wishes to transform, however, Goku is apparently a special case, capable of using the form whenever he wishes. The only way a Saiyan can attain Super Saiyan 4 is if they have a high enough power level and become a Golden Great Ape (or Broly's variant) and regain conscious control over the form.
