At the end of the series, Goku, Vegeta and Gohan could generally have been the most powerful beings in the entire universe, surpassing any of the Kaioushin, the very Gods themselves. A Saiya-jin has the ability to transform into a more powerful version of themselves.

The mythical Super Saiya-jin appeared 1000 years ago, and the tranformation dwindled to a legend with the expansion of the Saiya-jin race. However when Goku confronts Freeza on Namek-sei...
