Vegeta knew that Kaio-ken, much like the Super Saiyan transformation, could likewise provide a boost in power.
If Sun Wukong used Kaio-ken while in Super Saiyan 3, wouldn't his power surpass Hit's?

For a moment, every spectator swallowed. The good show was finally about to begin.
Crash!
The silent sky was suddenly shattered.
The two attacked each other at
