In prep for the fight against Cell, Goku and Gohan go into the hyberbolic time chamber and get to work. While inside they come across a funky idea: transforming into a Super Saiyan is rough business, and too much energy is lost in the transformation itself.
The fix?
Learn how to stay in Super Saiyan all the time. That way, the mondo amount of energy loss doesn’t happen.
Most everyone tries to push their ceiling — it’s all about pushing the max. Go Super Saiyan 1, then Super Saiyan 2, then Super Saiyan 3 . . .
Consider this pinnacle. You have a certain absolute power level and it’s all about ticking on another number.
Some food for thought though, especially if you have a decent power level: instead of constantly trying to increase your power level, think about whether it might be worth it to learn how to train at a higher % of your current max with less emotional investment.
It’s nice to be able to ramp up to a high level, but there’s a difference between being able to do that once in a millennium and once . . . every day.
(Just saiyan: Super Saiyan 2 was right around the corner after implementing this strategy.)
