His First Super Saiyan Transformation Succeeded, Shocked Everyone

Before long, the three of them arrived at Kami's Lookout.

They had barely arrived when Trunks showed up right after them.

"Dende, we're here to borrow the place for a bit." The moment Vegeta saw Dende, he said bluntly.

Dende was used to his cold demeanor and nodded. "No problem."

"Are you planning to use the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train?"

At that, Vegeta shook his head. "No, we're not going in this time."

"We just need to borrow the training area. My younger brother Tarble needs to try turning into a Super Saiyan."

"I'll also need you to help with something in a little while."

"That's no problem," Dende replied without hesitation. Then he looked at Tarble and Rix. "You must be Mr. Tarble, right?"

"And you're Mr. Rix?"

"Nice to meet you!"

Fifty days ago, when Tarble and Rix were still some distance from Earth, Dende had already sensed them.

And it went without saying that the two of them had since settled on Earth.

As Earth's Guardian, Dende naturally knew who they were.

"Hello, Dende," Tarble greeted him with a smile.

He was quite familiar with Dende.

It was hard not to remember a human-shaped phone charger.

Rix looked a little surprised, but he followed Tarble's example and greeted him as well. "Hello, Dende. I'm Rix."

As soon as he finished speaking, Vegeta said impatiently, "All right, you'll have plenty of time to see each other later."

"Tarble, go ahead and try transforming."

Tarble nodded slightly. "Okay."

In a flash, he moved.

With a whoosh, he reappeared ten meters away.

After steadying himself, he immediately drew on his energy and gathered it in his back.

In an instant—

Boom!

A powerful aura burst from Tarble!

A fierce wind swept out in every direction, howling as it went.

The force of it blew Rix, who hadn't been ready, a short distance away.

As soon as he regained his footing, he felt an even more powerful, overwhelming aura burst from Tarble.

At the same time, the sky darkened. Thunder roared, and thick, blinding bolts of lightning crashed down from above.

"AAAAAAAH—!"

Tarble had planned beforehand not to let out a strained, constipated yell, but the reality of the situation left him no choice.

As his entire energy gathered in one small area, pain instantly spread through his whole body.

It felt as if his body were being torn apart and then reborn.

Amid the agony, he also felt a trace of excitement and pleasure.

That excitement and pleasure only grew stronger, soon completely drowning out the pain.

In an instant, a flash of inspiration seemed to cross his mind!

"AAAAH... HAA!"

Boom!

With that final, cathartic shout, Tarble's aura reached its peak.

Then his hair flashed gold, changing from black to golden yellow.

His eyes turned emerald green as well.

He had successfully transformed into a Super Saiyan!

And he had done it on his very first try!

The sight left the other five people there stunned.

Trunks was thrilled, delighted that Tarble had managed to become a Super Saiyan.

Rix was full of admiration and surprise, with a deep longing in his eyes as well.

Dende and Mr. Popo had seen a Super Saiyan transformation before. They were simply amazed that Tarble had succeeded on his first attempt.

Of the five people there, Vegeta was by far the most shocked.

He had never expected Tarble to succeed on his very first attempt at transforming.

His talent was so great that even Vegeta couldn't catch up to him in a spaceship.

Back then, Vegeta had suffered plenty of hardships trying to become a Super Saiyan.

In the end, he had only managed it by sheer chance.

If he were honest, even if he had known the transformation technique back then, he wouldn't have been confident he could succeed on his first try.

After his initial shock, he was filled with excitement and anticipation.

Meanwhile—

The Z Fighters on Earth had also sensed Tarble's rapidly surging aura.

"This energy... Is that Tarble?"

Piccolo, who was visiting Son Gohan's home, was the first to notice something was amiss.

Son Gohan sensed it too, of course. "Yes, Uncle Piccolo. This is Uncle Tarble's energy."

"His aura suddenly grew so much stronger. He must have successfully become a Super Saiyan!"

"That's incredible!"

Son Gohan and the others had no idea how quickly Tarble had been training. Naturally, they were astonished to guess that he had become a Super Saiyan.

Piccolo was even so shocked that his face turned a few shades greener, unable to believe it.

"What terrifying training speed!"

"How long has it even been?"

"He's already become a Super Saiyan!"

"And he only had to try once!"

"It seems Tarble has more talent than Vegeta."

"Gohan, he might even be more talented than you and your father!"

"Vegeta and Son Goku finally have a rival."

By the end, he seemed almost pleased.

At that moment—

The shock in Son Gohan's eyes was every bit as great as Piccolo's.

"Uncle Piccolo, when Dad and I trained in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber back then..."

"It didn't take me this little time to become a Super Saiyan."

"I vaguely remember it happening after three months of training inside. I've forgotten exactly how long it took."

Hearing this, Piccolo's eyes flashed with shock once again.

"I see!"

"It seems Tarble's talent and potential are far beyond yours!"

"Gohan, I know you don't like training, but you need to make some time for it."

"I'll do my best, Uncle Piccolo..."

Son Gohan and Piccolo weren't the only ones who were shocked. The other Z Fighters also sensed Tarble's aura multiply dozens of times and guessed what had happened.

Naturally, once they figured it out, they were all astonished and envious.

Meanwhile—

Son Goku, who was training far away on North Kai Planet, also sensed Tarble's aura.

He had never met Tarble, though, so he didn't know whether he was friend or foe.

"What's this energy?"

The moment Son Goku sensed the overwhelming aura, he stopped training, though he kept both hands raised, holding up several tons of weight.

After carefully sensing it, he confirmed that the aura belonged to a Saiyan.

"It's a Saiyan's energy!"

"But why does it feel so unfamiliar?"

For a moment, he couldn't figure out who it was.

Usually, unless it was about martial arts, he couldn't be bothered to think too hard.

So, still holding the several-ton weight effortlessly, he walked over to North Kai, who was dozing beneath a tree, and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Lord Kai!!!"

The sudden shout jolted North Kai awake. He sprang up, and his sunglasses fell to the ground.

"W-what?!"

"Is the sky falling?"

Once he had exclaimed, his vision cleared, and he found a huge black "mountain" almost pressed against his face.

He instinctively recoiled in fright.

Just then, he heard Son Goku's voice.

"Lord Kai, can you tell me who the Saiyan is whose energy just suddenly burst out on Earth?"

"His aura feels really unfamiliar."

North Kai came to his senses and immediately roared at Son Goku. "Goku—!"

"Are you trying to scare me to death?"
