Once everyone had gathered.
Ino's opening salvo was as explosive as ever: "I have seen in the future an enemy more evil than Frieza, more evil than the Majin. Everyone, you are going to need to reach a higher level of power to protect the Earth — to protect this world."
Before anyone could ask, she answered her own question: "Right here in our own universe, in an age so distant it's almost beyond reckoning, a Saiyan named Yamoshi once appeared on the Saiyans' homeworld. You've all crossed paths with Vegeta and Nappa back in the day — you know that feral brutality the Saiyans have baked into their bones.
"Yamoshi never took a hard blow to the head, and he wasn't a half-breed. He was simply born good. As he grew older and watched his people's bloodlust and savagery, he tried to find a way to save his race. While being hunted down by his own kind, he transformed — becoming the very first Super Saiyan.
"After Yamoshi died, his soul kept searching for a way to save the Saiyans. He believed that if the sincere heart-power of six righteous Saiyans were gathered together, it could become God Power — a Super Saiyan God capable of saving the world and saving the Saiyan race."
Son Goku scratched his head. Honestly, he had absolutely no idea what she'd just said.
Son Goten was seven years old — he understood even less.
Fortunately, everyone else had followed along.
"Lord Supreme Kai, how do we gather this heart-power? And in whom do we gather it?" Future Trunks asked.
Well, Ino wouldn't have traveled all this way without a specific target in mind, would she?
She pointed at Kale. "Kale has the highest potential. As the Legendary Super Saiyan, she should be able to hold the heart-power of the five of you."
Kale tensed. Her own people in the Sixth Universe called her the 'Demon Saiyan' — given a name like that, she wasn't sure she had any so-called righteous heart inside her.
Ino caught her eye and gave her a look that said: relax, it's fine.
All that talk about a 'righteous heart' was nonsense anyway. Back in the original timeline, when Son Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan God, they'd even counted Videl's unborn child.
The baby wasn't even born yet — what 'righteous heart' could it possibly have?!
God Power was an objective force in the universe, wielded by Supreme Kais and Destroyers alike, and the name 'God Power' was just a label. At its core, the power had no moral alignment — the good could use it, and so could the wicked.
The requirements for God Power were not strict. The reason Yamoshi had demanded six righteous Saiyans joining their heart-power was entirely his own subjective stipulation.
Ino herself possessed God Power, and she understood its properties well.
"Let's begin." Seeing that no one had further questions, she gestured for the six of them to start.
Son Goku took the hands of his two sons. Son Gohan thought holding Future Son Gohan's hand felt a little strange, so he held Future Trunks's hand instead. Son Goten — just as simple-minded as Son Goku at that age — took Future Son Gohan's hand. Then Future Son Gohan and Future Trunks placed their hands on Kale's back.
One by one, the six shifted into their Super Saiyan forms. Even Kale, in Super Saiyan 1, had golden hair.
But as the other five steadily channeled their ki into her, the energy inside her kept building and building — and sure enough, her hair turned green again.
"It's fine," Ino said. "Hair color is just surface appearance. Keep going."
The golden light radiating around them grew more and more blinding — yet the combined Super Saiyan aura of five warriors still couldn't suppress or merge with the aura of the Legendary Super Saiyan. A pale green glow persisted alongside it, carrying a faint air of disdain toward the golden flames of the other five. It had nothing to do with Kale's conscious intent — it was pure cellular-level suppression. The others were simply having a very hard time syncing with her.
Ino thought for a moment, then reached out through Telepathy and quietly told Kale: "Don't worry about it. If you can't contain their ki, then suppress it. If the righteous path won't work, the dominant one will do just fine."
After giving her second daughter a quiet word of strategy, she turned and addressed the five: "What's needed for the Super Saiyan God transformation is a super-evolution at the cellular level — a shift from mortal to divine — not a simple pile-up of energy. Heart-power and ki aren't the same thing. Try thinking of your most cherished memories, then mix that feeling into what you're sending her."
Worth a try. Saiyans, as a rule, had straightforward minds — and most of them had memories like that.
The five closed their eyes and reflected. Son Goku's mind was the purest of all. The golden aura around his body suddenly shifted, transforming into a soft veil of pale blue energy.
Then Son Gohan and Son Goten followed. Future Trunks and Future Son Gohan had fewer warm memories and more guarded minds — it took them considerably more effort. But drawn along by the pull of the father-and-sons trio, their golden auras also gradually turned to blue.
"What on earth are you lot doing?" The sheer scale of the energy gathered at Mount Paozu had drawn Vegeta over — as always, the first to come running. Not far behind, Piccolo, stationed at Kami's Lookout, also turned his gaze in their direction.
The heart-to-heart communication required absolute concentration, and no one answered Vegeta's question. Ino made a shushing gesture.
Each time the Legendary Super Saiyan transformed, she had to wrestle against the savage fury in her heart. But today, Kale felt a serenity settle inside her — the kind of peace she had only ever found during fusion, drawing on Himawari's spiritual energy. The clamoring voices, the sharp stench of blood — in this moment, all of it vanished.
The Legendary Super Saiyan was different from an ordinary Saiyan in every way.
When Son Goku achieved his Super Saiyan God form, his hair turned red, his style identical to his normal state, his body leaner, with a soft, flame-like divine radiance drifting around him — nothing like the wild, domineering look of his previous Super Saiyan forms. Super Saiyan God was supposed to be a return to simplicity.
It was an ending, and a beginning. The Super Saiyan Blue that Son Goku and Vegeta would go on to develop was born from the goal of surpassing Super Saiyan God.
With Kale, it was entirely different.
She was still nowhere near her own limits — 'return to simplicity' simply didn't apply to her.
In her Super Saiyan 3 form, her green hair had reached her waist. Now, transforming into the Super Saiyan God, even more energy converted into God Power and pooled inside her body — and her spiky green hair dropped all the way to her ankles.
Ignoring the hair color, ignoring the aura — that hairstyle was honestly a bit reminiscent of Raditz.
When Son Goku and the others transformed, they became Super Saiyan Gods. What Kale had achieved, in its full name, was the Legendary Super Saiyan God.
Vegeta, watching from nearby: "???"
He was starting to regret running over to look. He still hadn't figured out Son Goku's Super Saiyan 3, and now — what was this? Another new trick? What was this form even called?
The pressure was immense. The Saiyan Prince's lean frame hunched slightly under the weight of it all. Surrounded by a crowd of cheat-code warriors, life was genuinely too hard.
