Super Saiyan Blue Goku Fanart Shows His Mastery Over the Kaioken Technique
Fanart Design by Kakeru (@DBSKAKERU1)
Unlocking this incredible power in episode 39 ofDragon Ball Superduring his Universe 6 vs. Universe 7 battle against thetime-skipping warrior known as Hit,Goku’s Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken times ten was a last-ditch effortto combat a foe who had Goku beat in terms of raw speed and technique utilization. Needing to push himself even further, Goku takes a risk and stacks not one buttenlevels of Kaioken power on top of his already demanding Super Saiyan Blue form — an added technique that could destroy his body if not handled properly.
Putting a unique visual spin on Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken,Kakeru sketches Goku infusing his left leg with red energy as he stomps the ground with enough power to shatter it, keeping the rest of his body poised and ready for battle. Pulsing with a blue aura everywhere else, Kakeru gives Goku a determined smirk and colors the image with lighter hues, paying homage to the art stylings ofDragon Ball Super’s current artist, Toyotarou. Throw in some crackling and smoke effects to emphasize Goku’s immense power, and Kakeru’s Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken design is one that fans shouldn’t miss.
Goku Pushes His Limits in New Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken Fanart
Goku used this joint Super Saiyan Blue/Kaioken combo a few more times inDragon BallSuper — specifically when he utilizes Kaioken times twenty against Jiren in the Tournament of Power — but it remains to be seen if this same approach could be applied to the god-like ability that isGoku’s Ultra Instinct technique. It stands to reason that the more chaotic Kaioken ability would contradict the free-flowing and intuition-based Ultra Instinct but with Kakeru’s (@DBSKAKERU1) penchant for creating inventive “What If?”Dragon Ball Superart, it’s possible fans could see this unique take onGokusooner rather than later.
