Much like its predecessor, Super Saiyan 4 is able to evolve even further, ascending to a higher stage. Not many know about this stage of Saiyan transformation, as it can only be unlocked under very specific circumstances. If you enter a bloodthirsty rage while in Super Saiyan 4, your power will erupt. Your fur shifting to a neutral gray shade, with your hair growing longer and more untamed, changing color to match. Your skin shifting to an intense pink shade as your eyes shift to a blood red color, to match your intensity.
Your very presence emits a feeling of pure anger and bloodlust, which is mirrored in your fighting. Though the power of this form is undeniable, the strain both physically and mentally incurred by it can be far too much to handle.
If this Homebrew is used, Super Saiyan 4 becomes the first stage of the Primal Saiyan Transformation Line, and the first and third effects of Super Saiyan 4’s Mastery Trait only apply to Super Saiyan 4 – not to a mastered Super Saiyan 5.
