In Dragon Ball Resurrection of Freezer, Goku, when transformed in Super Saiyan
God Super Saiyan, is almost killed by a laser beam from Sorbet. Now how could
this happen? Was his ki so low even when he was a SSGSS? Later in the Dragon
Ball Super series this seems to be corrected because he isn't transformed when
he is hit. But then again, I don't know which is the version that counts,
supposedly the manga is over the movie and series but between something that
happens in the movie and series I don't know.

Then the question of this topic is: can a transformed Saiyan (Super Saiyan,
Super Saiyan God, etc.) lower his ki to base-human level when transformed? Was
this just a mistake or what?

Can a transformed Saiyan lower his ki to base-human level when transformed?


There are kind of multiple issues wrapped into one here. Firstly,

> Can a super saiyan their ki to the point that it is human level?

No that is impossible. Why? Because it takes a great amount of energy to
undergo and sustain a physical transformation. If you drop your ki below a
certain point. You revert to your base form.

> Goku death by beam?

Yes that can also happen. It seems almost impossible in theory but remember
saiyans are in fact humanoid aliens and as such they can fall vulnerable to
being shot in the back if they lower their ki sense. Whis warns Goku of this
when he tells him during their training and in the manga that he gets too
overconfident easily and lowers his guard and that is his weakness which is
the polar opposite of Vegeta who is too on-guard and thus gets slowed down. (I
can link the manga panel later).

The point is. Goku was confident of victory which is why he was able to be
shot.

The comment marked as answer is WRONG. Re-watch the Cell Saga, especially
after Goku and Gohan leave the time chamber. Whether or not their powered down
super saiyan form is to the level of a "human" is debatable, but the
characters did mention Goku and Gohan seemed like normal people. Later on, we
saw that for Gohan to get to SSj2, was to make SSj1 feel like your normal
state.

*removed the word Necessary. There are the DBZ encyclopedia books out there, it said you needed more anger to reach SSJ2 from SSj1-so I apologize for that.
