Information:also known as Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan,is a powerful divine transformation and a transcended version of the Super Saiyan God form.| By undertaking godly ki training with a deity to wield the power of Super Saiyan God in one's natural state, a Saiyan may achieve a divinity-empowered base form which allows them to use Super Saiyan Blue as the Super Saiyan version of Super Saiyan God and this form surpasses its predecessor in power. While Super Saiyan God can be easily achieved through a specialized ritual Super Saiyan Blue has no such shortcuts and must be extensively trained in order to be used correctly.

Saiyans who possess truly divine status can achieve Super Saiyan Rosé, a variant of Super Saiyan Blue (in the manga) or more simply a divine equivalent of the standard Super Saiyan (in the anime and Dragon Ball Fusions).| Toriyama further expanded on the concept of the "Super Saiyan God" transformation featured in Dragon Ball Z:Battle of Gods by combining its power into that of a Super Saiyan. As the author explained it and as Goku similarly mentions in the movie, the form is as the name suggests the result of a Saiyan with the power of Super Saiyan God further transforming into a Super Saiyan.

In relation to Goku Toriyama says on Goku he made his hair blue to express how "by overcoming a certain limit he has become both strong and tranquil,able to keep his composure in a fight". And in regard to Vegeta,he adds that he gave Vegeta black clothes because he figured that maybe Bulma had modified his combat uniform to add some slight improvements. On that note it was constructed by the Capsule Corporation development branch under Bulma's instructions. In an interview with Toyotarō,Akira Toriyama reveals that he was thinking about having the form be white but then it would have color- clashed with the "next enemy",so he figured he should save it for another occasion.

Akira Toriyama named the form "Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan" in his character designs for Goku and Vegeta. The name Super Saiyan Blue is usually used in the Dragon Ball Super anime and manga,whereas the name Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan is more often used in merchandise and video games.| In Goku's words this form is what happens when a "Saiyan with the power of a Super Saiyan God further transforms himself into a Super Saiyan". Simply it is the first Super Saiyan form combined with the power and godly ki of a Super Saiyan God turned cyan blue,due to a mortal absorbing it. The form can be obtained by a Saiyan who has become a Super Saiyan God and then retained the power;if the Saiyan utilizes the might of Super Saiyan God and then attempts to transform into a Super Saiyan,they will instead naturally evolve into a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan (Super Saiyan Blue or Super Saiyan Rosé depending on the individual's status). Alternatively,as shown in the anime and by Goku Black in the manga the Saiyan can evolve their standard Super Saiyan form into a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan form if they increase its strength until it surpasses Super Saiyan God. According to Dragon Ball Z:Extreme Butōden Super Saiyan Blue is the most powerful of all Super Saiyan transformations.

This form is accessed through the activation of its user's godly ki. The form pushes the user's power, strength and speed to new heights beyond those of previous Super Saiyan levels,as well as providing a calm mind that make it and its ki easier to control compared to the other Saiyan forms such as Super Saiyan 3. The ki control of this form allowed both Goku and Vegeta to keep their new level of godly ki from leaking out of the form,unlike Super Saiyan 2 and 3 which only increase their power to the full limit and leak ki;this feature allowed Goku and Vegeta to maintain their godly ki without it being used to keep the form on this is how Goku can push himself to Kaio-ken x10 and then later on x20. This allows them to fight within the form freely without ki drain and reserved for ki-based attacks. It is stated by both Goku and Vegeta that a calm mind and focus are required to use this form properly. The form's godly ki renders the Saiyan's own ki insensible by most mortals via ki sense and only those who know how to sense godly ki can detect it. Despite the form's huge upgrade in power from the original Super Saiyan God, neither Goku nor Vegeta still could challenge Beerus alone,needing to fight together to be able to stand a chance. This form was initially not powerful enough to defeat Golden Frieza at full power either but due to Goku and Vegeta's experience with the form,Super Saiyan Blue was able to outlast Golden Frieza thanks to its efficient ki and stamina output compared to his unmastered transformation. This form becomes stronger through training,as Goku was able to match Golden Frieza in power during their next meeting, even though Frieza was noticed to have become stronger himself. In fact it is even able to increase its strength with sufficient amount of combat, displayed by how while he got easily beaten back by Jiren,the next time, Goku was able to match up to him and make him fight more seriously. Because of this form's perfect innate ki control and the calm mind required to attain it,this form can be combined with the Kaio-ken to create the Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-ken in the anime.
