About

OC Super Saiyan Levels refers to a series of fan art illustrations theoretically visualizing the appearance of the titular characters featured in the Dragon Ball franchise beyond Super Saiyan 4, the final form of the Super Saiyan evolution in canon.

Origin

In the Dragon Ball franchise, Power Level is a fictional measurement system used to assess and gauge the combat strength of a warrior numerically. According to Dragonball Wikia, the highest degree of power level ever gauged by a scooter in the saga is Captain Ginyu’s reading of Goku’s power level at 180,000. The highest power level ever referenced in Dragon Ball Z is Frieza’s power level of 530,000, said by Frieza himself while battling Nail. According to the Japanese manga publisher V-Jump, the overall highest power level is 2,500,000,000 of Super Saiyan Gogeta.

Super Saiyan 5

The first known instance of a fan-made, non-canonical Saiyan power level beyond Super Saiyan 4 was the Super Saiyan 5 created by Daniel Montiel Franco for his fan-made sequel to Dragon Ball GT titled Dragon Ball AF. Franco also created an image featuring an original character named Tablos as a Super Saiyan 5 (shown below).
