Background
Ji Yun is a transmigrator who arrived in the Dragon Ball world and awakened the God-Tier Choice System. Before Raditz’s arrival, he completed smaller system missions and had become Earth’s strongest known fighter, though he considered his 10,000 combat power inadequate for later threats. 1
When Raditz invaded Earth, Ji Yun chose the system option to confront him rather than ignore the conflict. He concealed his ki, endured Raditz’s attacks without injury, killed him with a single Kamehameha, and received the Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline as his reward. 1 3
His presence altered several major events. He defended Earth from Nappa and Vegeta, prepared for the threat of Frieza through Hyperbolic Time Chamber training, and later used Namek’s Dragon Balls to restore Planet Namek and revive Namekians killed by Frieza. 9 16 26
Appearance
Ji Yun is a tall, upright, handsome young man with a lean but muscular build. Even after years away from Earth, his physique remains notably imposing. 5 112
- His normal appearance is youthful enough that opponents frequently underestimate him. 158 182
- In Legendary Super Saiyan form, his hair stands up and becomes yellow-green rather than the standard gold associated with ordinary Super Saiyans. 40
- His Legendary Super Saiyan aura can darken the sky, crack the ground, and cause spatial fissures when amplified with Kaio-ken. 40
- After Ability Fusion, he can appear without a detectable aura, making him impossible to sense even at close range. 168 210
Personality
Ji Yun is usually calm, casual, and confident under pressure. He commonly taunts opponents whom he considers weaker, sometimes treating major threats such as Vegeta, Frieza, Cell, and Majin Buu with visible amusement. 11 21 50 104
His confidence can become recklessness. He deliberately provokes stronger opponents in order to push himself further, including Awamo despite warnings from Beerus and Whis. 192
Despite his overwhelming strength, he can be considerate and responsible. He chose to restore Namek and revive its people, pledged to protect Bulma, apologized to Ji Yan for his long absence, and requested help reviving Earth’s population. 26 36 108 109
Ji Yun initially relied on raw strength and system rewards rather than disciplined combat practice. Whis identified his technique as stiff and underdeveloped, prompting Ji Yun to sincerely pursue a year of punishing training. 77 78

Ji Yun acquired Ultra Instinct after defeating Champa, then later fused it with Super Saiyan and Kaio-ken through Ability Fusion. 94 167 168
- Ultra Instinct allows him to evade attacks from opponents such as Frieza, Goku, and Vegeta with ease. 136 140
