Letting our creativity fly, we have a hot take for the Dragon Ball fans. What if Goku ever got his tail back in the series? Well, we all know that a Saiyan’s tail is what lets him take on the giant ape form, popularly known as the Oozaru form. So what if he got it back?
Can you imagine just how many powerful and amazing forms we might get, especially in sync with his current level of power in the Dragon Ball Super series? To stop you from racking your brains, we’ve got you with our take on the topic. Here are some of the best and newest Oozaru forms we might see if somehow Goku got his tail back in the series.
7 Super Saiyan Oozaru

To start from the basics, the first transformation we ever saw of the main protagonist in the series was the Super Saiyan form. An Oozaru out of this form will likely be brown with golden accents on its fur and the head shaped like spikes, similar to a porcupine’s back.
The ape would be radiating a golden aura throughout his body, and the Ki level would definitely be above his usual Oozaru form we saw in Dragon Ball. Furthermore, taking the SSJ power and multiplying it with the substantial boost will result in a massive raw output, but brutal Ki drain.
6 Super Saiyan God Oozaru

Taking it up a notch in the DB power-up department, Super Saiyan God comes in line after the initial SSJ form. This form of Oozaru will be a much more refined and divine adaptation of the concept, with a crimson-coloured ape wreaking havoc on its opponents.
The body would be radiating with a golden-crimson aura, with Crimson divine Ki stabilizing the Great Ape form. This form will allow for much faster, effortless movement on the field because of a lighter body. Additionally, God Ki control prevents power leakage and improves sustainability.
5 Super Saiyan Blue Oozaru

After Super Saiyan God comes the Super Saiyan Blue form, which Goku describes literally as the Super Saiyan form of Super Saiyan God. This form will have a bright blue aura surrounding the entire body of the Great Ape form and can even occasionally emit small sparks of lightning.
This is the form in which the perfect Ki compression first comes into play. In terms of offensive power, each attack in this form will likely cause planetary-level devastation, delivered with surgical precision. Apart from the almost zero energy waste, Blue suppresses the wild amplification that makes Oozaru terrifying, which is the only reason it is not higher on the list.
4 Wrathful Oozaru

While this is not an exclusive Goku transformation in the series, Trunks, being from the Saiyan bloodline, would only be right to add this form to the list. What will make the berserk transformation even scarier is imagining it with Goku’s power level and amplified by the Great Ape form.
Before entering fully god-like territory with the transformations, this will be the only primal form. Filled with rage and a massive Ki reserve, the offense will be almost devastating for the opponents while Goku’s Ki will spike adaptively mid-fight.
3 Super Saiyan 4 Oozaru

This is probably one of the scariest forms that will appear with god-level Ki control mixed with pure primal strength and power. The Super Saiyan 4 Great Ape transformation will be a perfect fusion of Saiyan, beast, and mind.
This form purely defeats the Super Saiyan Blue Oozaru transformation with a simple equation – Primal amplification over divine restraint. Additionally, the scaling of power mid-fight will be insane with destructive and dense Ki outputs.
2 Limit Breaker SSJ4 Oozaru

Featured in the non-canonical promotional web series by Toei Animation, the Limit Breaker SSJ4 form appears for the Super Dragon Ball Heroes card and video game. This is one notch up from the traditional SSJ4 Oozaru form that might be a possibility for the protagonist.
The Great Ape transformation will simply be shrouded with a crimson-black aura, a color combination that already screams intimidation. The Ki output will rival low-tier Gods of Destruction, and the presence alone will emit reality-warping shockwaves. It is simply near-god power without god-like techniques.
1 Ultra Instinct Oozaru

What other form to close the list than Goku’s most powerful form in the anime series so far, which was showcased during the Tournament of Power Saga – his Ultra Instinct Form. Already autonomous movement in a colossal body, imagine the merger with his Oozaru form now.
The Great Ape form will not likely provide any disadvantages with this form and size won’t restrict his movements at all – he will have no rage, no hesitation, and no wasted motion. Ultra Instinct scales infinitely with mastery. Add an Oozaru multiplier, and it’s game over.
