Is Goku the First Super Saiyan?


The first super sayian was Bardock father. He was sent back in time from
Freza's blast that he sent at planet Vegeta. Where he met Freza's great
grandfather (idk how many greats) and that's where the story of super sayians
came from. With all his anger at having his planet destroyed, he became a
super sayian. Source: [Bardock](https://youtu.be/pu-WWv11NMw)

My explanation isn't explained well enough, my bad guys.

When Super Sayan was first described in the source material, Vegeta had said
that there had once been a super Sayan roughly 1000 years prior to the current
timeline.

<http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Super_Saiyan>

As far as I know, this Super Sayan from 1000 years ago has yet to be named.

So no, Goku was not the first.

**Historically, Probably NO.**

**[Original Super
Saiyan](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Original_Super_Saiyan)** was
originally thought to be a legend, until Goku first transformed during his
fight with Frieza. In a filler scene in episode 66 of DBZ, the first
appearance of the _Original Super Saiyan_ was shown, it looks like a _Great
Ape_ with _yellowish colored fur_. Apparently Super Saiyan was not in Great
Ape form, unless it's a _Golden Great Ape_ , it was made up by Vegeta's
imagination.

Talking about _Bardock_ , he was **suspected** as the first Super Saiyan,
there is no official information to prove he is the first ever Saiyan to
transform into a Super Saiyan. At the end of _Episode of Bardock_ , it is
revealed that Chilled's knowledge about Super Saiyans was passed to his
descendants. It is not confirmed yet that Akira Toriyama wants Bardock to be
the first Super Saiyan.

**But until now, Bardock was the first Super Saiyan in the series with a known
name and appearance**.

Now this question has a definitive answer. This is new information. The first
super saiyan was Yamoshi. Akira Toriyama gave an interview recently and he
stated the first super saiyan and the first super saiyan god was a saiyan
named Yamoshi.
