Mastered Super Saiyan is far far superior & stronger than Grade 2 or Grade 3.
But the majority of DragonBall Fans keep looking it terms of strength or power failing to understand it's not simply how strong it is over another form but how it provides in terms of efficiency.
I've said this a billion times on Neo, SuperSaiyan Grade 4 will always be stronger & superior over Grade 1, 2, & 3, because of that efficiency.
What makes it stronger & more superior is that G4 allows that user to have tremendous from training with no drawbacks.
Think of it like working out with the heaviest weights or running at top speed, or swimming lots of laps, or running long jumps, without suffering muscle cramps or muscle soreness etc after working out.
Your work out routine is so refined you get all the benefits with no aches & each time you can work out longer & improve more than the workout before.
Mastering each form provides that benefit of efficiency.
The Elder's Kai Potential Unlock, Ultra-Instinct, SuperSaiyan G4, are efficient forms.
Even what Vegeta figured out & was doing in Super Super Hero was on that path of efficient training.
it signifies the level of performance that uses the least amount of inputs to achieve the highest amount of output.
I'm not trying to insult anyone or one up anyone or win some stupid debate here but this is a concept that should've been one of the easiest to grasp, & it was explained in the material itself.
So I'll try to give as many simplified examples & explanations as I think up while repeating the word efficiency as much as possible, cause lord knows I'm going to again in so other topic in the future & I'll use em as my go to line of thought on the subject lol.
SuperSaiyan Grade 4 is what happens when making a flawed or unrefined form as efficient as possible.
SuperSaiyan Grade 4 equals Efficient.
This is like the difference between.....
Training one's self vs Training against another vs by Being training by a teacher vs Being trained by a Master.
Like chopping down a tree with a dull axe vs chopping down a tree with a chainsaw.
The less efficient you are, the harder things will be & the more you will struggle to reach your goal & the longer it will take you.
Like struggling to destroy a small moon vs casually destroying an entire solar system.
Say there's two DragonBall Z characters with the exact same PowerLevels, better yet there's an exact copy of the same character, a Goku A & Goku B Both have a starting PowerLevel of 150Million set to train for a full year & the goal is to reach 170 Million.
Yet Goku A is training along while Goku B is training with Whis.
After both are done.
Goku A reaches a PowerLevel of 180Million after training for 245 days.
Goku B however reaches a PowerLevel of 210Million after only 135 days.
The more efficient way of training wins out as it allows Goku B to effectively reach that goal & causally surpass it in less time & effort.
This is a great subject to explore & discuss because it gives a better understanding to power progression & how easy or hard it is to achieve.
Something else that was dove into on Neo that I really think is apart of this Universe too thanks to Voice on Neo.
I'll start a Thread.
