Saiyan Physiology

[ThatDarnFish]

Just something I noticed a while ago, unless it's been changed recently, but why isn't there a "Saiyan Physiology" page? They're a race/species with various abilities attributed to being Saiyans. Is there something they're missing?

i can't say for sure specifically but if i remember correctly, verse specific power pages/physiology pages need to have a certain amount of powers that you get specifically from being that thing, and since all the ki based stuff is basically universal it wouldnt count for Saiyan powers, so they'd only have like a small handful of powers like transformation, RPL and stuff

Right. Anyone can learn to use Ki in verse, so Saiyan Physiology would mostly be;

Transformation
Reactive Power Lvl
Adaptation
Enhances Senses
Limited Longevity
Accelerated Development
Power Mimicry

IIRC

Worse than they really need

Reactive Power Level was merged with Accelerated Development

Power Mimicry??? No

Aah. I guess there's not enough to back it up since only Goku, Vegeta and Broly have ever really copied moves after seeing them.

Granted we don't have a lot of Saiyans in canon to go off of.

it's also the fact its technically not power mimicry when you have other characters learning advanced moves crazy fast too, heck while Roshi makes a big deal about goku doing it on his first try and it taking roshi decades, Krillin and Yamcha also both learned it no problem and later Gohan and Goten too, it seems just as more raw natural talent for ki manip. like them going "Oh we can use our ki in X way? okay I think i get it," vs them going "i have now copied your unique power!"

also whats the reason for Saiyans specifically getting enhanced senses, if its because they can detect ki signatures, that would again just be a feature of ki use, as it doesn't come naturally to them as literally Nappa, Vegeta, Broly and basically every other non-earth saiyan didnt know how to do it until learning they could and is something again anyone in verse can do as long as they figure out how to do it.

Nobody wants to write the page.

Goku naturally has a canine's sense of smell, superhuman vision, and the ability to detect minute vibrations in the air.

Fair enough thanks for the quick answer, I didn't remember that, is that something confirmed all saiyans can do or is that just Goku being Goku?

Besides what the Turtle School trained in terms of dynamic vision, everything appears to be natural.
