DuringDragon Ball Super’s Universe 6 arc, fans were introduced to a new set of Saiyan warriors whose planet was never destroyed by Frieza. Besides their nature as members of Goku and Vegeta’s race, what shocked many fans about these characters was their unique strength. Unlike their Universe 7 counterparts, Cabba and his friends never had issues accessing Super Saiyan.
For many fans, this feat went against everything the series had taught audiences about this technique, as it was supposed to be quite challenging for novices to achieve. Still, a new theory might have figured out the reason why Universe 6’s Saiyans are so talented. According to this hypothesis, these warriors possess alatent potential greater than Goku’s.
Could Universe 6 Saiyans Be Geniuses?
These Warriors Were Not Selected at Random
When theiconic Super Saiyan transformationwas introduced to the world ofDragon Ball, it was described as a legendary power that was only granted to a destined warrior every 1000 years. While this idea was quickly discarded, as almost all Saiyans in the series have access to this ability now, it was never described as easy to obtain.
Goku and Vegeta had to undergo harrowing training before being able to transform into a Super Saiyan. Yet, despite this difficulty, the Saiyan warriors from Universe 6 had no difficulty reaching this level. Cabba, Kale, and Caulifla mastered the transformation almost immediately after learning about its existence. For many fans, this undermined the hard training of the protagonists.
Atheory explaining this eventhas been gaining popularity online. This idea proposes that the Saiyans who competed in the Tournament of Power were warriors with enormous hidden potential. Like Gohan, these fighters have the unique capability of adapting and learning faster than the average Saiyan, which is why they were selected by Champa.
Only the Strongest Were Chosen for the Tournament of Power
The Universe 6 Saiyans Are Prodigies
While the idea of Cabba, Kale, and Caulifla being geniuses might seem outlandish at first, the story of theTournament of Power arcpoints to this being the case. This competition was supposed to decide the fate of all universes in the series’ continuity, with only the victor remaining intact.
Nevertheless, Champa selected Cabba, Kale, and Caulifla, confident in their abilities and likely knowing about their latent potential and ability to quickly learn techniques.
This means that thepowerful Gods of Destruction, overseers of these dimensions, could not select their teams at random. Champa had an entire planet full of Saiyan warriors who could have joined his team. Nevertheless, he selected Cabba, Kale, and Caulifla, confident in their abilities. Beerus’ brother likely knew about their latent potential and ability to quickly learn techniques.
Universe 6’s guardians would not have chosen these characters if they were not confident they were among the strongest on both their planet and theDragon Ballmultiverse. Furthermore, their battle against Goku and the Z Fighters proves how capable they were, becoming one of the biggest obstacles to the protagonists’ victory.
