Sign in to your ScreenRant account Super Saiyan transformations are always a big deal in the Dragon Ball community, but seeing that legendary golden hair on a character who cannot even fire a basic ki blast is just hilarious. Almost 34 years after making his debut during the Cell Saga, Earth's undisputed "champion," Mr. Satan, has finally received his very own Super Saiyan design by Dragon Ball Super artist Toyotarou. Released as the 102nd entry in the official "Toyotarou Tried to Draw" project, the new artwork gives fans their first proper look at the hilariously named Super Mr. Satan. Toyotarou has been having plenty of fun with Dragon Ball's deeper cuts lately, like his recent artwork on Vegeta's family, but watching the Champ himself stand there with a full Super Saiyan aura might be the funniest one yet. Toyotarou Finally Brings The Most Ridiculous Mr. Satan Lie To Life While the transformation is completely non-canon, it is a great callback to Dragon Ball Super episode #15, where Mr. Satan famously claimed he could transform into a golden god while trying to convince the public that he could take on Beerus. Now, years later, Toyotarou has fulfilled his wish in the 102nd entry of the Toyotarou Tried to Draw project. Just like the illustrator pointed out in his personal commentary attached to the new artwork, the truth behind Hercule's ridiculous claim doesn’t really matter, as everyone loves their hero. Mr. Satan may never actually unlock the form, but Earth's greatest "hero" finally looks every bit as powerful as he has always claimed to be.

Rushing in blindly is how people get killed. NEXT → 02 How do you train for an upcoming battle? AFind the strongest sparring partner I can and push myself past my limits every day BTrain alone in isolation — I don’t need anyone holding me back CMeditate, study the enemy’s weaknesses, and train the younger fighters so they’re ready too NEXT → 03 Your team is losing a fight. What do you do? AJump in front of everyone — I’ll take the hits so my friends can regroup BGet angry. I refuse to lose — my pride won’t allow it. I’ll surpass my limits right here. CFall back and coordinate — someone needs to think clearly while everyone else is panicking NEXT → 04 A rival challenges you to a one-on-one fight. How do you respond? AAbsolutely!

I am the answer to all living things that cry out for peace.” You’re a pure-hearted warrior who lives for the thrill of the fight. Every challenge is an opportunity, every enemy a potential friend, and every defeat just fuel to come back stronger. People are drawn to your infectious optimism and unbreakable spirit, even when your naivety drives them crazy. You’d give your last Senzu Bean to a stranger and charge headfirst into a battle you can’t win — not because you’re reckless, but because you genuinely believe that pushing past your limits is the only way to grow. Like Goku, your greatest power isn’t your ki — it’s your ability to inspire everyone around you to be better.Pure-Hearted Fearless Limitless Inspiring 👑 Vegeta “I do not fear this new challenge. Rather like a true warrior, I will rise to meet it.” You carry yourself with the pride of royalty and the ferocity of a born warrior. Second place is not in your vocabulary, and you’d rather break your body than your spirit. People might call you arrogant, but beneath that iron exterior lies someone who has learned to fight not just for themselves, but for the people they’ve quietly grown to love. Your journey is one of evolution — from cold-blooded conqueror to Earth’s fiercest protector — and every scar you carry is proof that pride and love can coexist. Like Vegeta, you don’t just want to be the strongest — you need to earn it on your own terms.Proud Relentless Fierce Evolving 🧘 Piccolo “Sometimes, we have to look beyond what we want and do what’s best.” You’re the one everyone depends on when things fall apart — the calm center in the middle of chaos. While others charge in recklessly or let their ego do the talking, you see the bigger picture and make the hard calls that need making. You didn’t choose to care about people, but somewhere along the way it happened, and now you’d sacrifice everything for those you’ve taken under your wing. Stoic on the surface, deeply loyal underneath, you’re the mentor, the strategist, and the last line of defense all in one. Like Piccolo, your true strength is wisdom — and the courage to do what’s right even when no one is watching.Wise Tactical Protective Stoic ↻ PLAY AGAIN That is also a pretty good explanation for why Mr. Satan has lasted this long. When he first appeared during the Cell Games, Hercule was little more than a loud, arrogant show-off who took credit for things he had absolutely nothing to do with. But the Majin Buu saga completely changed that. Instead of remaining a joke on the sidelines, he became one of the most important people in stopping Buu, simply by doing what the Z Fighters could not: reaching the monster on a human level. Mr. Satan's biggest moment came when he stood in front of a terrified Earth and convinced everyone to raise their hands so Goku could gather the energy needed for the Super Spirit Bomb. He had no Super Saiyan transformation, no insane fighting technique, and certainly no godly power. He just had the trust of the people. That makes seeing Toyotarou give him a completely made-up golden form even funnier. After all these years, Mr. Satan may still be a fraud when it comes to his fighting ability, but as far as the people of Earth are concerned, the Champ has always been a legend. Toyotarou Continues To Carry The Dragon Ball Fandom Through The Manga Hiatus Ever since the tragic passing of legendary creator Akira Toriyama, Toyotarou has basically put the fandom on his back, keeping the community fed with his monthly deep-cut illustrations. But the franchise has much bigger things coming. Toei Animation is bringing Dragon Ball Super: Beerus to screens this October, reworking the original God of Destruction arc with updated visuals, new cuts, and an upgraded version of the Goku and Beerus fight. It is a pretty fitting time for the franchise to revisit the arc that first introduced fans to the power far beyond Super Saiyan 3. Dragon Ball Super manga is also showing signs of life after sitting on hiatus since Chapter 104 in early 2025. Recent posts from Toyotarou and the official V-Jump account have given fans reason to believe work is moving forward, with the long-awaited Black Frieza arc still waiting to continue. There is no official return date yet, so for now, these smaller drops are about all the fandom has to work with. And honestly, watching Toyotarou turn Mr. Satan into a completely fake Super Saiyan is not a bad way to pass the time.
