Super Saiyan transformations are one of the most recognisable power-ups in Dragon Ball Z, the anime sequel to Dragon Ball, where fighters such as Goku and Broly push past their normal limits and gain golden hair and a surge of energy. Clips of that transformation sound have circulated for years in anime edits, fan videos and meme compilations, because the rising effect is instantly understood even without dialogue. It remains popular because it works as shorthand for levelling up, whether the subject is a character, an athlete or an ordinary person having a sudden glow-up.
