My Dragonball OC

kaioken puts stress on goku's body, making the technique dangerous to use on high multipliers
super saiyan doesn't have those problems, except for energy drain but goku got around it anyway

Kaioken has a serious risk on the physical body. Goku could barely handle Kaioken times 20 during the Namek fight. While Super Saiyan (unperfected) does have some notable energy drain, it isn’t half the risk of Kaioken.

Oh ok that makes sense
Couldn't goku just wish for the kaioken to not affect him and then go kaioken times who cares

because plot

and they needed to sell more figures

That’s a shortcut to power. Goku specifically dislikes taking shortcuts, which is why he didn’t line the Super Saiyan God ritual in Battle of Gods

why did we give the same explanation

Because it’s true

Great minds think alike
