But it was only his ordinary Super Saiyan 4 form.
Still, Son Gohan felt it was enough.
After all, he was no longer the novice who had first attained Super Saiyan 4 back then.
With his base strength and mastery increasing at a staggering pace, his Super Saiyan 4 form had become terrifyingly powerful.
