Toei Animation / David Productions

Twitter is a place where people can post their honest opinions on any subject matter, but it also sparks heavy debates and arguments because of the trend of posting “hot takes”. Anitwt is, by all means, not an exception to this trend, especially with One Piece broadcasting its most ambitious episodes yet.

If you’re on Twitter a lot, then I’m sure you’d come across posts like “Gear 5 is more iconic than Super Saiyan and Ultra Instinct” or “Goku solos Luffy Gear 5” and so forth atleast once.

One anime twitter user @BasedNika decided to conduct a tournament poll, in August 2023, for the Greatest Transformation in anime and manga history.

The user chose 32 forms and pit them randomly against each other one by one.

The 32 forms are:

  1. Goku Super Saiyan Blue
  2. Luffy Gear 3
  3. Ichigo True Bankai
  4. Goku Super Saiyan
  5. Gojo Domain Expansion (Not exactly a form but it was there in the poll… for some reason)
  6. Guts Berserker Armor
  7. Naruto Sage Mode
  8. Phos Devine Form
  9. Luffy Gear 4 Snake Man
  10. Ichigo Vasto Lorde
  11. Chainsaw Devil form
  12. Naruto Sage of Six Path
  13. Super Saiyan 2
  14. Gon’s rage mode in HxH
  15. Usagi (Sailor Moon)
  16. Shinra Bansho Man
  17. Goku Super Saiyan 3
  18. Boruto Borushiki
  19. Luffy Gear 5
  20. Asta Devil Union
  21. Ichigo Final Getsugo Tens
  22. Johnny Task Act 4
  23. Naruto Baryon Mode
  24. Eren Attack Titan
  25. Goku Super Saiyan 4
  26. Luffy Gear 4
  27. Eren Founding Titan
  28. Giorno GE Requiem
  29. Mob 100%
  30. Luffy Gear 2
  31. Goku Ultra Instinct
  32. Griffith Femto

Most fans thought Gear 5 Luffy or Goku’s Super Saiyan would win the tournament but to everyone’s surprise, neither took home the trophy.

The surprise winner of the Greatest Transformation in anime and manga tournament is….

Giorno’s Gold Experience Requiem from Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure!

It beat:

  • Gear 5 in the Semi-finals by a 10% margin with a total vote count of 17,424
  • Super Saiyan in the finals by a 12% margin with a total vote count of 13,411

One Piece and Dragon Ball fans were livid by the results but Jojo fans were jumping for joy.

Finally, Jojo fans now feel relevant in the discussions.

One piece and Dragon ball fans thought they were the shit but Jojo fans showed who’s boss.

About Dragon Ball

Dragon Ball is a manga series by Akira Toriyama. It first began its serialization in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1984. The manga was later adapted into a multitude of animated series, movies, and games.

The franchise consists of five different anime series, about 21 animated movies, and around 10 games spanning various platforms, from Famicon to Playstation and Xbox.

Synopsis of the Dragon Ball anime:

Goku Son is a young boy who lives in the woods all alone—that is, until a girl named Bulma runs into him in her search for a set of magical objects called the “Dragon Balls.”

Since the artefacts are said to grant one wish to whoever collects all seven, Bulma hopes to gather them and wish for a perfect boyfriend.

Goku happens to be in possession of a dragon ball, but unfortunately for Bulma, he refuses to part ways with it, so she makes him a deal: he can tag along on her journey if he lets her borrow the dragon ball’s power.

With that, the two set off on the journey of a lifetime.
