| Super Saiyan God | 40 | Obtained roughly thirty years earlier through a ritual involving six pure-hearted Saiyans. The other five—Bakbu, Herla, Ashita, Sifuda, and Bote—gave their life energy, enabling Sadala to destroy the monsters attacking his planet. |
| Permanent Super Saiyan God state | 41 | He has never reverted from Super Saiyan God form since the ritual. Karotis concludes that the five Saiyans' life energy is what allowed him to maintain the form continuously. |
Background / History
Thirty years before Karotis's arrival, Planet Sadala was invaded by shadow-shrouded monsters that slaughtered Saiyans indiscriminately. The Saiyan population fell by seventy percent; only a fraction escaped or gathered to resist. Sadala left the planet alone to seek power after allied worlds failed to provide meaningful aid. 32 40
During his journey, Sadala discovered an ancient Saiyan ruin on a desolate planet. A surviving inscription described a ritual in which five righteous Saiyans transfer their energy to a sixth, allowing the recipient to become a Super Saiyan God. 40
Sadala returned home and performed the ritual with five companions: Bakbu, Herla, Ashita, Sifuda, and Bote. He awakened as a Super Saiyan God, healed of his prior injuries, and eradicated the invading monsters. When he returned, however, he found that his companions had exhausted all of their life energy and died. 40 41
Believing their deaths to be an inherent cost of the ritual, Sadala initially kept the method secret. After Karotis proposed that the five had willingly transferred their life energy to sustain him, Sadala resolved to strengthen Planet Sadala in their honor—but accepted Karotis's warning not to distribute godly power recklessly among unprepared Saiyans. 41
Appearance
King Sadala has a lean, youthful-looking build that contrasts with the overwhelming power concealed within him. He carries himself with the authority and composure expected of Planet Sadala's ruler. 32 33
- Fiery red hair and crimson eyes in his Super Saiyan God state. 32 40
- Lean physique despite his immense strength. 32
- His ki manifests as scorching flames capable of distorting the surrounding space. 34 37
- His skin can take on a faint red coloration when he channels greater power. 37
Personality
Sadala is a protective and responsible ruler whose primary concern is the safety and continued prosperity of Planet Sadala. His decision to seek power alone during the monster invasion, and his grief over the five Saiyans who died for him, reflect the weight he places on his people's lives. 40 41
He is stern with reckless Saiyans such as Caulifla, but recognizes and encourages their potential. He also listens to counsel: although initially determined to spread the Super Saiyan God ritual across the planet, he reconsidered after Karotis explained the dangers of granting overwhelming power without sufficient maturity. 38 39 41
Despite his royal bearing, Sadala enjoys a genuine battle against worthy opponents. Having lacked peers capable of challenging him for a long time, he eagerly continued his fight with Karotis after the latter's breakthrough. 34 37 41
Abilities & Skills

- Wields god-level ki and vastly exceeds the ordinary Saiyans of Planet Sadala. 32 33
- Destroyed the monsters that had driven Planet Sadala close to extinction. 40
- Maintains the form without reverting, unlike a temporary transformation. 41
- His permanent state is implied to be sustained by the life energy transferred by his five fallen companions. 41
Energy Manipulation

- Produced blazing shockwaves that forced Karotis back and dispersed residual lightning from his body. 36
- Withstood a barrage of more than a thousand energy spheres and remained uninjured. 36

Blazing Heaven Impact
Sadala's decisive energy attack, formed by condensing his flames into his hands. 37
- Used against Karotis's Tiga Flash during their final exchange. 37
- Its collision with Tiga Flash produced a planet-spanning energy clash. 37
- Karotis withdrew from the clash to save Caulifla from the aftermath. 38
Combat Skill
Sadala is an accomplished close-range fighter who can calmly assess opponents far below his level while respecting those able to threaten him. 34 36 37
- Instantly recognized that Pavet could not contend with Karotis and prevented him from fighting. 34
- Countered Karotis's attacks with precise strikes, including a punch that sent him through multiple mountain ranges. 36
- Fought Karotis as an equal after Karotis unlocked further potential, treating the battle as a rare opportunity for both warriors. 37
Relationships
- Karotis / Wang Shen — Initially a challenger from Universe 7; their battle develops into mutual respect, information-sharing, friendly sparring, and regular conversation. 34 39 41 49
- Caulifla — A reckless but highly promising Saiyan whom Sadala knows through her brother, Liansuo. He scolds her for endangering herself but expects her to become a great warrior for Planet Sadala. 38 39
- Cabba — A member of the Lase Defense Force who reveres Sadala and credits him with saving Planet Sadala from extinction. 32 33
- Pavet — Planet Sadala's second-strongest Saiyan and a loyal subordinate. Sadala orders him to stand down when he realizes Karotis is too strong for him. 34
- Murak — Planet Sadala's third-strongest Saiyan; initially hostile toward Karotis, but later accepts the vast difference in their strength. 34 37
- Bakbu, Herla, Ashita, Sifuda, and Bote — Sadala's five companions who sacrificed their life energy during the Super Saiyan God ritual. 40 41
Story Role / Major Arcs
Arrival of Karotis
Cabba brings Karotis to the Sadala Royal Palace, where the King immediately recognizes that the tailed Saiyan possesses extraordinary power. Although his court views Karotis as primitive and inferior, Sadala personally questions him about Universe 7 and the destruction of Planet Vegeta. 32 33
Challenge of the Universe 7 Saiyan
After Karotis defeats Murak and Pavet attempts to intervene, Sadala dismisses his subordinates and accepts Karotis's challenge himself. He initially holds a decisive advantage over Karotis, but continues the fight after Karotis unlocks greater power. 34 36 37
Super Saiyan Knowledge Exchange
Following their battle, Sadala learns from Karotis about Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2, and Super Saiyan 3. He considers using this knowledge to improve all Saiyans on Planet Sadala and offers Karotis lodging at the Royal Palace, though Karotis declines. 39
Revelation of the Monster Invasion
Sadala reveals the origin of his Super Saiyan God power and recounts the sacrifice of his five companions. He abandons his immediate plan to widely teach the Super Saiyan God ritual after considering Karotis's concerns about the misuse of overwhelming power. 40 41
Later Contact with Karotis
After Karotis returns from more than a year of traveling through Universe 6, Sadala is the first to sense his arrival. He invites Karotis to the palace to talk and spar, but Karotis declines in favor of resting. 49
