An editorial ranking of the mainline forms puts Ultra Instinct above Ultra Instinct -Sign-, then Blue Kaioken, Super Saiyan Blue, Super Saiyan God, Super Saiyan 3, Super Saiyan 2, and Super Saiyan. That order is a story-based comparison, not an official power chart. Dragon Ball GT and Dragon Ball DAIMA each have a Super Saiyan 4 Goku, but the available official material does not establish where either version ranks against the Dragon Ball Super forms—or against the other Super Saiyan 4.
How this ranking works
Dragon Ball’s official material describes forms and where they appear, but does not publish a numerical scale or a definitive ranking covering every Goku form and continuity. The order below is therefore an editorial reading of the story, not an official or mathematically settled result. It ranks the mainline Dragon Ball Super forms first; GT and DAIMA Super Saiyan 4 are treated separately because their shared name does not establish a shared power level.
The list focuses on the major transformations and states covered by official descriptions. It does not assign invented multipliers, and it keeps a technique combined with a transformation—Blue Kaioken—distinct from a transformation on its own.
Dragon Ball Super forms, ranked
-
Ultra Instinct
Complete Ultra Instinct takes the top spot in this editorial ranking. It is distinct from Ultra Instinct -Sign-, the incomplete state Goku reaches before mastering the technique. The official Dragon Ball feature describes -Sign- as imperfect and difficult to sustain; that distinction supports placing the more complete state above it, though the source does not give either a numeric power value.

-
Ultra Instinct -Sign-
-Sign- is an incomplete version of Ultra Instinct, not simply another name for the completed state. The 2022 Dragon Ball Official Site feature says it cannot be held for long because of its imperfect nature, and describes the body reacting instinctively to threats. Its rank reflects the story’s distinction between the incomplete state and mature Ultra Instinct, rather than a published measurement.
-
Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken
In the Dragon Ball Super anime’s Universe Survival Saga, Goku combines the Kaio-ken technique with Super Saiyan Blue. That makes Blue Kaioken a separate anime combination for ranking purposes, not a new color-coded Super Saiyan stage. It sits above Blue here because it adds Kaio-ken to that form; the cited official description does not provide a universal multiplier or a comparison that settles its standing in every medium.

Super Saiyan Blue
Also called Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, Blue is the state attained when a Super Saiyan God goes Super Saiyan, according to the Dragon Ball Official Site’s 2022 feature. The two names refer to the same form; “Blue” is the familiar alternative, not a separate transformation.
-
Super Saiyan God
Super Saiyan God ranks below Blue in this sequence because Blue is described as a Super Saiyan God going Super Saiyan. This is a comparison of the forms as presented in the Dragon Ball Super story, not a claim that an official source has ranked every possible matchup.

Super Saiyan 3
Goku first turns Super Saiyan 3 during his fight against Majin Buu. The 2022 official feature identifies its waist-length hair and lack of eyebrows as visual markers. No multiplier for the form is established in that feature, so none is used here.
-
Super Saiyan 2
Super Saiyan 2 follows Super Saiyan 3 in this editorial ordering of the classic stages. The official material cited for this article does not supply a numeric comparison between the classic stages; this placement reflects their story presentation, not a sourced multiplier.

Super Saiyan
The original Super Saiyan stage completes the classic sequence in this ranking. It is below Super Saiyan 2 and 3 here as a story-based ordering, not because an official source has published a comprehensive chart measuring every form.
Where do GT and DAIMA Super Saiyan 4 fit?
Dragon Ball GT Super Saiyan 4
The 2022 Dragon Ball Official Site feature places Goku and Vegeta’s first demonstration of Super Saiyan 4 in the Dragon Ball GT anime’s Shadow Dragon Saga and connects the form to Great Ape power. That establishes its origin and a feature of its concept, but not its position relative to Dragon Ball Super transformations.

Dragon Ball DAIMA Super Saiyan 4
Dragon Ball DAIMA also has a separately identified Super Saiyan 4 Goku. A 2026 official product announcement confirms that incarnation exists, but does not provide a shared power scale linking it to GT’s Super Saiyan 4 or to the Dragon Ball Super forms. It would be misleading to assign either Super Saiyan 4 a precise place in the mainline ranking based on the name alone.
What the ranking can—and cannot—settle
- Continuity matters: the main ranking is for the Dragon Ball Super forms discussed here. GT and DAIMA Super Saiyan 4 belong to separately identified anime incarnations.
- Medium matters: Blue Kaioken is identified with the Dragon Ball Super anime’s Universe Survival Saga. Do not assume that anime combination applies identically to the manga.
- Technique and transformation are not the same category: Blue Kaioken combines Kaio-ken with Blue; its placement reflects that story combination rather than a new Super Saiyan transformation.
- No universal statistic settles every comparison: the consulted official material gives no numeric multipliers or comprehensive ranking for all these forms. Game abilities and collectible descriptions are not substitutes for such a scale.
The form descriptions and story details above draw on the Dragon Ball Official Site feature “The Many Forms of Super Saiyan! Dragon Ball Legends Saiyan Selection – Goku,” published March 22, 2022, and its 2022 feature on Ultra Instinct -Sign-. The separate DAIMA incarnation is identified in the site’s July 20, 2026 product announcement, “Evolve Super Saiyan 4 Goku Is Coming to North America, Europe, Oceania, and Both Central and South America!”
