As for those top Saiyan powerhouses who had already reached Super Saiyan 1 Full Power, they had broken through to Super Saiyan 2 in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber over a year ago.
Among them, the five standouts—Jiande, Karo, Misu, Tejes, and Bashi—had used the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and abundant resources to surge straight into the ranks of Super Saiyan 3.
Over the past year or so, some of those Super Saiyans who had entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and reached the high stages, peak, or Limit State of Super Saiyan 2 had also successively broken through to Super Saiyan 3.
Furthermore, over a year ago, Bardock, Kakarot, and Gohan, the three who had long since reached the limit and peak of Super Saiyan 2, had broken through to Super Saiyan 3 not long after entering the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. They later all reached the late stage and Limit State of Super Saiyan 3.
After breaking through to Super Saiyan 3, Bardock consumed the God* Tree of Might Fruit bestowed by Baros. After his base combat power increased by ten million, he directly reached the Limit State of Super Saiyan 3, with a combat power of 25.27 billion.
Although Kakarot and Gohan, who had likewise broken through to Super Saiyan 3, could not compare to their father and grandfather, Bardock, they were definitely not people Tejes, Bashi, Jiande, Karo, and the others could rival.
Though they were all Super Saiyan 3s, Jiande, Karo, Misu, Tejes, and Bashi ultimately failed to defeat Kakarot and obtain the God* Tree of Might Fruit Baros had promised.
