How come SSJ still overstresses the body?

[ahill]

Goku and Gohan and presumably company mastered it, but old Kai said it shortens their life spam and shouldn't be used too much.

Guess it still has a bigger effect than base.

Maybe they can't suppress their power to near zero after already fusing in a powered up state, like they can neither detransform nor power down further than the power they initially fused into.

It's a plot point that Toriyama never fleshed out, SSJ is an unhealthy state for the body.

I'd argue he did though. That was why Goku mastered it in the first place.

But Old Kai still stresses that the form is like smoking cigarettes it's not healthy on the body

Boss Kaioshin might be full of shit. How does he know anything about Super Saiyan anyway?

 

[Symbiote]

If SS is like smoking cigs then Gohans potential unlock is like vaping.

His omniscience was really flawed. Nigga knew about Majin Boo and Goku and Vegeta being rivals but he didn't know Earth had its own DBs

As tamed as it may be, SSJ will never be as natural as their normal forms.

Btw, Kenshi or anyone, does Goku ask if both him and Gohan should become Super Saiyan in the original?

Galu said that the Potara Fusion might be stronger if they turned SSJ before fusing. I guess this more or less shows that (as far as the manga/Z continuity goes anyway) Ultimate Gohan can turn SSJ with no power increase, because fusing in different forms might have untold consequences. Then again, Merged Zamasu, aside from having a small multiplier due to the Future Zamasu half being weaker, wasn't defective at all in the manga, so who knows how an SSJ/2/3 Galu and Ultimate Gohan fusion might turn out.
