What is the 2nd best transformation in anime/manga/comics?
- Thread starter Sargerus
- Start date
Because your thread doesn't acknowledge Gear Two as the best, you'll just keep getting posts like "but Gear Two is the best" instead of what you're actually curious about.
Anyway, SSJ2.

Probably will be underappreciated on this forum but I got to appreciate Symphogear Season 1's X Drive. Spoilers if you want to watch the show since this is a part of the season finale.

Every batshit insane transformation happening in Immortal Hulk right now tops anything that ever happened in DBZ.
Gear 2 is pretty mild by anime standards. Naruto's Sage Mode is cooler.
The design isn't anything amazing, but when Ichigo first went Bankai......That shit was hype as fuck.
Naruto Sage Mode too.
Both are simple, yet I love them.

Gon's transformation in Hunter x Hunter probably (is actually number 1), because of the risk, the consequences, the drama, and the inability to do it a second time.
OP asks for second best after super saiyan.Dragon Ball remains on top

Likewise, every Dial H for Hero transformation from the latest series and China Mieville's run is vastly superior to the hair-color-change-and-number-go-up tomfoolery of DBZ.
Another excellent pick!Likewise, every Dial H for Hero transformation from the latest series and China Mieville's run is vastly superior to the hair-color-change-and-number-go-up tomfoolery of DBZ.
That's not Super Saiyan, it's Ultra Instinct which is the dopest shit since the Super Saiyan transformation so it counts.
Oh, okay. They didn't say what it was, so I was just going by Dragon Ball being mentioned. Thanks for explaining!
Gon! the violence that followed was shocking considering Gon's nature prior to the transformation.
Gear 2nd was great!
Berserk armor was awesome too! oh damn I can't decide lol
Any of those can work.

Gold Experience Requiem in Vento Aureo. Part 5 is a story about predestiny and being unable to fight fate. The main antagonist's Stand allows himself to avoid any fate because of his Stand, King Crimson. He can see the future and step outside of fate to avoid any harm. GER is a transformation acquired specifically to prevent Diavolo from (sometimes literally) sidestepping fate.
Conversely, Giorno's Stand Gold Experience grants life to anything it touches. Wounds can rejuvenate, trees sprout from the ground, and a parking lot of cars turn into frogs and hop away. When Buccellati is mortally wounded, his soul leaves his body, but Gold Experience's restorative powers allow Bruno's soul to remain inside his corpse. Fate hasn't been defied, as Bruno is literally a dead man walking, but his ultimate fate has been postponed.
Gold Experience Requiem, then. The arrow is a recurring plot device in JJBA starting with Part 4 for its ability to grant Stands, but it really comes into focus with Part 5, especially after Polnareff's Stand takes the arrow into itself and becomes Silver Chariot Requiem. "Requiem Stands" are supercharged by the arrow to obtain an ability that the user needs most in that moment. In Polnareff's case, he wanted to protect the arrow, which manifested as a Stand with the ability to prevent anyone from approaching with the intent of taking the arrow.
Diavolo seemingly acquires the arrow and prepares to use it, but Giorno winds up being the one to hold and stab himself with it, transforming Gold Experience into Gold Experience Requiem, a Stand capable of reinforcing the fate of everyone. It's clumsily explained as "returning to zero", but the long and short of it is that GER prevents causality. Any action fated to occur can be completely negated, including death itself. Being "killed" by GER means the moment before you would actually die, you simply continuously experience the moments before death endlessly, never being allowed to expire.
Also, it looks totally badass.

Gon-san for me
This without question. I prefer it over super saiyan but I'll acknowledge context and at the time, with limited US exposure to this type of thing it was freaking epic.
But Gon in HxH..the lead in, the brutality, the art style, the wtf factor which NO one could have guessed. Sooooo good
Even the clip does it justice its still better with context.

I can only think of Gear Second or Gon in HxH. Goku was ruined by the English Dub.
Shit always amounts to a hair change +so stronk now, instead of any interesting new abilities. The first one was the most interesting at the time, and it was all downhill from there. Way, Way downhill.
SSJ2
or
Ultra Instinct
Either way, it's all DBZ at the top.

Gon is my first answer. Though it might actually be Mob going ???% in Mob Psycho thinking about it.
