Including Nappa because he was Vegeta's in a sense but...what's a villain without their henchmen? Or other employees... (presuming paid roles but who knows hehe!)
Just an appreciation post for those who tend to get lost amongst such a wide cast of characters y'know? I understand some are more popular than others but still - they all have their own charm.

These forms allow for characters to amplify their physical strength by swelling their ki to expand their muscles mass & height as it greatly increases the physical power of their current form. I categorize these forms as "Partial Full Power" & "100% Full Power" forms.

THE FLAW OF FULL POWER FORMS: 📉
Often times, the Full Power forms are more of a liability than a benefit. Most quickly burn through ki & put strain on the body while giving brute strength at the cost of speed. All which can make the user vulnerable in a life-or-death battle.
In the case of Kale, Broly, & Gas, their increased muscle mass didn't cost them speed. Instead, their Full Power forms caused them to temporarily lose their sanity; something that can put their own life at risk as well as others they may care about.
However, there are characters who have been able to make use of the Full Power forms immediately without losing speed, stamina, or sanity. Examples being SS Rage Trunks, Merged Zamasu, GoD Toppo, SSBE Vegeta, and Jiren (Full Power & Awakened).
EXTRA THOUGHTS:
Certain names of the transformations are just what I call them. Like Kale's Controlled Berserker SSJ, Jiren's Awakened Full Power state, and all of the names for Gas' forms.
Super Saiyan Grade 2 & 3 forms are essentially Roshi's buffer forms repurposed for a Super Saiyan.
I decided to not classify Freeza's "True Golden Freeza" Form as a Full Power Form of Golden Freeza because it appears to be more akin to Super Saiyan Grade 4/Mastered Super Saiyan.
Knowing that Freeza can increase his power by percentages, this would imply the same for other characters who use Full Power forms. Roshi's semi-buff form would possibly be about 70% while his Full Power form is 100%. Super Saiyan Grade 2 may be about 80% or so depending on the character, while Super Saiyan Grade 3 is 100%.
There's a reason you don't see a Full Power SSJ2 or a Full Power SSJ3 used in combat. Most Full Power forms are not stable and would only be good if they can land a hit. And with the stamina drain of SSJ3, a "SSJ3 Grade 3" would be a very pointless form that greatly multiplies the stamina drain.
I didn't include Majin Vegeta as a Full Power form despite it being SSJ2 Vegeta at Full Power. The power Vegeta recieved was not entirely his own & was power beyond his limits granted to him by magic. He was not using a Grade 3 form either, so I did not consider it to be a Full Power form in the same sense as the others on the list.
From what I can tell, Super Saiyan Rage could be some sort of "SSJ2 form of SSJ2." Meaning its a unique form above SSJ3. Before transforming into Super Saiyan Rage, a SSJ2 Trunks bulks up into a "SSJ2 Grade 3." Then, Trunks controls the power, slims down, gains a new aura, gets sharper and longer hair, & temporarily lacks pupils/irises. This is like Kale's Controlled Berserker SSJ form, but seemingly on a higher level. Future Trunks had already gotten his SSJ2 form to be almost as strong as SSJ3, so a "Controlled Full Power SSJ2 form" (SS Rage) would probably put him on a level around or a bit above SSG. (Maybe I should make a post about Super Saiyan Rage in the future. 🤔) On the other hand, Controlled Berserker SSJ Kale is shown to be somewhat below SSG Goku in DBS EP 114 when she & SSJ2 Caulifla fought SSG Goku when he had his gaurd up. So... from what I can tell, Super Saiyan Rage is a transformation of SSJ2 that began as "SSJ2 Grade 3" before Trunks controlled his Full Power & transformed. Thus, I classified Super Saiyan Rage as a Full Power transformation similar to SSBE. (If you disagree & have evidence of some sort, share it with me so I can adjust my thoughts as needed.)
After transforming into SSBE, Vegeta said "This is everything I have, Jiren!" So, I classified Vegeta's SSBE as some sort of improved version of the Full Power form while using SSB. It's basically Vegeta as SSB Grade 3, but slimmed down due to god ki giving him better control of the form, so there is no speed drawback. In a way, it's similar to how Trunks transformed into Super Saiyan Rage. Like Father, like son I suppose.
I wonder if DBS Broly's green haired SSJ form is his SSJ form mixed with the power of his Wrathful State (the Humanoid Oozaru form). With how the Wrathful State [Stage 2] made Broly grow in height and muscle mass, and how the Legendary SSJ form makes Broly turn giant and buff... Maybe his Full Power SSJ form is indeed SSJ combine with a [Stage 2] or a hypothetical [Stage 3] of Broly's Wrathful State power? 🤔
The DBS Manga continuity version of Broly's forms differs from its animated counterpart from what I can tell. DBS manga Broly is more similar to DBS manga Kale. [DBS manga Broly & DBS manga Kale have Base • Super Saiyan • Full Power Super Saiyan.]
I believe Zangya was in a partial Full Power form because she had to power-up against Krillin. When she did, her hair stayed floating upwards during her entire battle with Krillin. Her hair returned to normal only after she defeated him. She clearly had to power-up. But, does Zangya have her own green-skinned transformation like Bojack & Gokua? It's possible. Or perhaps she wasn't able to use a Full Power form like them just yet. We didn't see Bido or Bujin power-up to a Full Power form either. It seems like most of the crew don't have access to that Full Power transformation. So, this powered-up state Zangya used against Krillin could be her "Partial Full Power" if she can transform, or even her current "full power" if she cannot transform a true Full Power form. I currently believe that it is Zangya's "Partial Full Power" form & she hadn't unlocked the Full Power transformation yet.
I disagree with the idea of Krillin using the the Full Power form as a "power-up" like Roshi does because it wouldn't allow him to even touch a stronger opponent due to the buff form's speed reduction. As shown in Resurrection F, the Full Power form still quickly depleted Roshi's stamina & Krillin had to come in to save him. Some ppl say it will make Krillin taller, so it's a good form for him. However, being of short stature is actually an advantage because Krillin is harder to hit and his opponent will underestimate his strength like Piccolo did during the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai, & like how Vegeta & Nappa underestimated Krillin's strength & skill when he fought them. Plus, Krillin being short is not only part of his character appeal, but it is also a reference to Journey To The West.
Since the buff form is pointless for most characters (unless its a controlled Full Power Form), the best goal for the Krillin and the other Earthling fighters would be for them to utilize masterful ki control & performance in their normal state rather than greatly increasing their muscle mass with ki. As displayed by Krillin, Non-Self State is the next level of Earthling "transformation." But, rather than physical, it is a spiritual transformation; a transformation of internal energy. Hopefully Krillin's Non-Self State makes a return in some form & the other Earthling warriors recieve a similar power-up in the future as well. I have my doubts, but fingers crossed. 🤞
I got into a rut thinking about the bad guys from Movie 9, but there really isn’t much information about them at all. So I decided to organize my thoughts in this post.
I guess we’ll start with their names. From left to right, we have Bido (beard), Bujin (turban), Bojack (not the horse), Zangya (lady), and Gokua (sword).
The above image comes from one of the promotional trailers for Dragon Ball Heroes, and I think that may represent the first time all five Galaxy Soldiers have ever appeared together in the same shot. They all debuted together in Dragon Ball Z Movie 9, but Trunks killed Gokua pretty early in the film, so when the rest of them assemble near the end, they’re down a man. The Galaxy Soldiers show up again in Movie 12, but only briefly, and they’re never all in the same shot, and I’m not even sure all five of them are in it.
The Galaxy Soldiers are all aliens from a world called Hera. This was stated in one of the video games, Super Butoden 2, so I’m not sure if that was intended to be official or if it was just the game developers making up a name because there was so little information to be had. In any event, this was apparently confirmed in Xenoverse 2, so at least there’s a second, more recent game that agrees with the name. Seems to me that if a better name was going to be established, they would have settled on it by now. So they’re Herans.
The Galaxy Soldiers used a transformation in Movie 9, which would turn their skin from teal to chartreuse, and their orange hair to red. In the movie, Gokua clearly uses this against Trunks, but it isn’t enough to defeat him. Then Bojack uses the same transformation against Gohan at the end of the movie.
It could be argued that Zangya used it too, but only during her fight against Krillin in that underground volcano place. Her skin looks chartreuse, but her hair looks orange, so it’s sort of like she’s only halfway transformed. The colors of the characters are altered in that scene because of all the lava glowing on them, but it seems inconsistent any way you slice it. Still, you’d think that if she needed to use her transformed state to take out Krillin, she would have used it again later when fighting the rest of the Z-Fighters are the end of the movie.
Apparently, when Toriyama drew the concept art for these characters he used the red/chartreuse color schemes for them. This was evidently altered for the final design, but it ended up becoming the color scheme for the transformed state. Maybe that had been the intention from the start?
Most likely, Zangya’s appearance during her fight with Krillin was a mistake. Gokua clearly transformed while fighting Trunks, but there’s a brief shot of him with teal skin during the fight, and then the next shot of him has him back in the transformed state.
One thing that always got my attention was how Gokua’s jewlery would glow as he began to transform. He wears a pair of earrings with pyramid-shaped ornaments, and he’s got a necklace with the same ornament, and they all glow. When he transforms, the necklace vanishes along with his jacket. The same thing happens to Bojack’s clothes, although we don’t see his jewelry glow beforehand.
So maybe the ornaments they wear have something to do with their transformation? Maybe that proves Zangya wasn’t transformed when she beat Krillin, because she was still wearing her necklace later. It might also explain why she, Bido, and Bujin didn’t transform at the end of the movie. They may not have had that ability, but it’s also possible that it’s a one-time thing. Once they destroy their necklaces, they can’t do it again?
In any case, I think the necklaces have some significance to the Herans. Each Galaxy Soldier wears one, but notice that Bido’s necklace has two ornaments on it. Meanwhile Bojack has five ornaments on three different necklaces.
At first glance, I would suppose this is some indication of their heirarchy. Bojack is the leader, so naturally he has more of these things than the rest. So does that make Bido the second-in-command? You’d think Gokua would be, since he was the only other one who could transform, but then again, Bido lasted a lot longer in the final battle, so maybe he just didn’t need to transform?
Also, it’s tough to assign these ornaments with any special significance when they seemingly vaporize whenever the characters transform. King Kai said that he and the other Kais fought with the Galaxy Soldiers before sealing them inside a star. Wouldn’t all five of them have transformed for that battle? If so, then does that mean they had to run out and get new clothes before showing up on Earth?
Maybe it works like this: The necklaces are a sign of how long you’ve managed to go without needing to transform during a battle. Bojack has so many of them because he’s the strongest one, and every time he wins a fight without transforming, he gets a new one. But Gokua is weaker, so he has to use it more often, and that’s why he only has the one ornament. And that would explain why Bido, Bujin, and Zangya don’t transform during the fight at the end. They want to get as far as they can without it, and pick up some glory. Also, they’ve got a transformed Bojack with them, so they probably don’t think they have anything to worry about. As for Bojack... well, he may figure he has nothing to prove. He transformed after he beat up Vegeta, almost like he was reveling in the moment rather than using his full power for some tactical purpose.
Or maybe there used to be ten Galaxy Soldiers, and half of them were killed, one way or another, and the remaining five took their earrings, made necklaces out of them, and divvied them up between them. Maybe they represent the key to unlocking hidden strength, although it’s kind of inconvenient if transformation makes you lose the necklaces. The earrings seem to stay on okay, so maybe they should look into belly button piercing instead.
I don’t know, I don’t feel like I’m any closer to understanding these guys than I was before. Bujin seems to be the one who specializes in that energy-wire technique, but Zangya and Bido help him with it, so does that mean all three of them can do it solo? It’s just really confusing. They suck.
