Super Saiyan 3 first appeared in Dragon Ball Z during Goku's fight with Majin Buu, and the long transformation sequence quickly became one of the franchise's most quoted scenes. In the English dub, Goku's sustained scream became a fan benchmark for anime power-ups, shared in clips, parodies and soundboards for years. Its length set it apart from shorter transformations, making it perfect shorthand online for charging up, stalling for dramatic effect, or turning a minor moment into an epic one.
