For every collector and fan of the storied
Dragon Ball universe, the moment a new Funko POP! drops is a time of palpable excitement. Today, we turn our gaze to an electrifying release that captures not just a character, but a pivotal transformation in the Dragon Ball saga: the Super Saiyan 3 Goku from "Dragon Ball GT." This special edition Funko POP!, exclusive to Entertainment Earth, embodies the essence of Goku’s relentless power and the intense drama of the GT series. Let's delve deep into the character, the show, and why this collectible is a must-have.
The Legend of Goku
Goku, the heart and soul of the Dragon Ball series created by Akira Toriyama, has been a symbol of resilience and limitless potential. From his early days on Earth as a martial arts prodigy to his ascension as a Saiyan warrior, Goku's life is a thrilling tale of battles fought and friendships forged. His journey is one of constant growth, pushing his limits to protect those he loves.
In "Dragon Ball GT," which stands as an anime-original sequel to the revered "Dragon Ball Z," Goku faces the daunting challenge of recovering the Black Star Dragon Balls scattered across the cosmos. This series, while controversial among fans due to its deviation from Toriyama's manga, offers unique stories and deeper explorations of its main characters, particularly through transformations like Super Saiyan 3.
Super Saiyan 3: A Formidable Form
Super Saiyan 3, first introduced in "Dragon Ball Z," is Goku's third form. It’s distinguished by his now-iconic long, flowing golden hair and the complete absence of eyebrows, which make his appearance fierce and otherworldly. This transformation offers a massive increase in power, speed, and energy output, far surpassing the earlier Super Saiyan states.
In "Dragon Ball GT," Goku's use of this form is crucial in battles against formidable foes such as Baby, Super 17, and the Shadow Dragons. The Super Saiyan 3 form, while immensely powerful, is also a testament to Goku’s endurance as it drains energy at a tremendous rate, showcasing his determination and warrior spirit.
