The Super Saiyan form comes from Dragon Ball, created by Akira Toriyama, where Goku first transforms in anger during his battle with Frieza on planet Namek in 1991. The golden hair, teal eyes and explosive aura became one of anime's most recognised power-ups. Clips of the scream and energy build have since been reused far beyond the series, in parodies, gaming edits and reaction videos where anyone levels up, gets angry or shows off a dramatic change, keeping the transformation instantly recognisable decades later.
