Oh, was the whole "A Super Saiyan is a warrior who is pure of heart and awakened by rage" bit a dubism? Or was it something Goku said? Or was it both?
I'm exhausted and can't remember dick for shit.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!It's really just an assumption on Goku's part. Maybe not even an accurate assumption, given how Cabba is literally the only other Saiyan we know of to unlock Super Saiyan 1 through rage directed at someone else. Future Trunks and Future Gohan got it before History of Trunks even started, Vegeta and Gohan got it off-panel through unknown means, Goten just did it one day while training with Chi-Chi, Trunks got it off-panel through unknown means, Caulifla achieved it by focusing her ki into her back, and Kale got her unique transformation through extreme self-loathing.
Maybe righteous anger is just one of many triggers for Super Saiyan, and Goku just assumed that it was the way to get the form because he was the first person in 1,000 years to transform into it and everyone else just kind of trusted that Goku, of all people, knew what he was talking about.

Even then, Vegeta’s idea about Super Saiyan was closer to the Super Namekian concept from Lord Slug, in that it was simply a higher state of being that a Saiyan naturally reached when they got strong enough, instead of being a straight up transformation.
Let's see if you can get past my Beelzemon. Mephiles, WARP SHINKA!The Tournament of Power has been going on for 15 episodes so far, with 20 more episodes dedicated to the pre-tournament exhibition matches and recruitment of the fighters. Given that the tournament is exactly halfway over, I think it's fair to expect it to go on for 15 episodes more, rounding out the final total for the Universal Survival Saga to 50 episodes even.

I guess Super is better for the most part but I much prefer Super Saiyan 4 to God and Blue (jury's still out on Ultra Instinct).
This song needs more love.Man, the timing behind the dub is so weird.
I just watched Dub episode 37, and Hit is about to fight Vegeta, meanwhile in the original version, he's just been eliminated from the tournament.
One Strip! One Strip!Yeah. It doesn't matter who you're pissed at, as long as you are pissed enough, and have the right level of power.
Also, I'd forgotten the detail about Dub and Sub Frost. Come to think about it, it was the same with Frieza, with him coming back into the story of super right around the same time the Resurrection F arc started in the anime.
I'm wondering if they are doing this on purpose now, cause that level of coordination is way too much to be a coincidence.
One Strip! One Strip!I kinda liked Giru...
But everything else was pretty dumb. And yes that includes SS 4. I never liked anything about that form.
I like Super Saiyan 4 for the idea of combining the two transformations, rather than just forgetting Tails were a thing.
I can see why Toriyama went with God and Blue though. He's one for going for simpler looks rather than anything that looks more complicated, though even he likes SS 4 (though not enough to come up with his own version).
One Strip! One Strip!Also Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta was more entertaining than Super Saiyan Blue Vegetto.
This song needs more love.

Not to mention, Frieza was the most powerful character at that point in the series and Goku needed a powerup just to close the gap. Frieza was/is a monster who basically established a large majority of the power scaling in Z.
