Iwazaru (悪を話すません, lit. "Speak no Evil") is the condensed form of Kikazaru that Eclipsed Saiyans can transform into when gaining total control of themselves after transforming into the Kikazaru. This battle form increases their strength a hundred-fold once gained and continues the Oozaru/Kikazaru branch of transformations.
Conditions for Transformation
The only way a Saiyan can attain Iwazaru is if they become a Kikazaru (or Lentil's variant) and regain conscious control over the form. Even after this form is attained, it cannot be accessed at will and will require initial exposure to Blutz Waves whenever the user wishes to utilize the transformation. This form grants the Eclipsed Saiyan with primal power, though they retain a general humanoid appearance. This form is only possibly thanks to their two tails; the first does as most tails do and allows for the absorption of Blutz Waves, which can result in either the Oozaru or Kikazaru state. The second condenses all that absorbed power tenfold on top of the already incredible power that Kikazaru/Oozaru grants.
This form gives the user the super strength and speed of a Great Ape but with a calm, collected mind. For many, this form can make them very cold and aggressive. A user of this form loses their rationality to a degree and is replaced with an unending desire for battle. This form can't be utilized by the mass majority of younger Saiyans since this requires great willpower to attain.
Akuseijō Academy
Akuseijō Academy is an institute for Eclipsed Saiyan warriors. An academy where they're taught how to control their Ki and discipline their mind. Their courses consist of Ki Control, Physical Training, Mental Training, Technique Creation/Conceptualization, etc. Once completing all of their required courses, the young Saiyan is allowed to enter the Tsuki no Kyū. Here, they are given the Gekkō no Shiren (Trial by Moonlight), where they will be given their first look at a full moon and experience the Kikazaru form for the first time.
If an individual can gain control of themselves within an hour, they're granted a passing score and graduate from the academy but if they cannot, they'll be forced to wait another year to take the exam. Once a warrior graduates, they will immediately enroll in the army to continue their war against the Seven Dragons Lords alongside their comrades in arms, the Superior Saiyans.
Appearance
In this form, the Saiyan's hair color remains the same; the same goes for the tails and the body, which are covered in black fur. A Saiyan in this form also possesses a shadow trim around their eyes and over the eyelids that always comes in some variation of black, such as obsidian. The hair is lengthened while becoming wilder, sometimes reaching down to the middle of the back or further, while two long, pointed bangs appear on both sides of the neck. Initially, it makes the individual considerably more prominent in height; however, if the energy is condensed enough, then their size won't increase, and in rare cases, it'll sometimes even make them shorter than before.
While this form does resemble the Modern Saiyan's - Super Saiyan 4 form, many differences distinguish these two forms from one another. When examined side by side, one can see a noticeable difference: Iwazaru possesses two long and muscular tails, while the Super Saiyan 4 form has a single shorter and leaner tail. Similar to Super Saiyan 4, Iwazaru bulks up the muscles; however, since Iwazaru is created by the condensing of Ki, this fact can be overcome by additional condensing, making them sometimes more diminutive than their base form, which leads to a stronger form. Furthermore, the aura of Iwazaru has an appearance vastly different from that of Super Saiyan 4 as it becomes darker in the outer layers while retaining the users' standard Ki color within as its dominant color in contrast to the jagged and golden appearance of Super Saiyan 4 that more resembles Super Saiyan for obvious reasons.
Usage and Power
The Iwazaru form converts Blutz Wave Radiation into usable Ki, giving the impression that the user's ki increased a hundredfold. This transformation is typically utilized against the Original Shadow Dragons or in competitions against their superior counterparts during festivals.
While this form doesn't drain any stamina, if the user uses too much energy, they can be forced to drop out of the transformation. This form also allows the user to absorb Ki to some degree and convert it into their own for usage. At the same time, this is a potent ability; it's useless against magic-based beings like dragons.
Techniques and Special Abilities
Besides enhancing each of their techniques by a hundred-fold, they're also able to use Konzetsu, a highly condensed blast emerging from their mouths. They can also breathe fire but mainly use this ability as a distraction and hardly ever used as an offensive tactic.
Variations and Enhancement
Kikazaru
Kikazaru is the form that makes Iwazaru possible and was first attained by Kin, the forefather of the Eclipsed Saiyan race. This form is a variant of Oozaru, allowing for further Eclipsed power evolution. It possesses blackened fur and two tails; the evolution of these two tails gave rise to this mighty form. While the multiplier of Kikazaru is no different from Oozaru, the evolutionary potential of the form makes it quite distinguished from normal Oozaru.
Mizaru
Mizaru is a variant of the Modern Saiyan's Wrath State and is the result of using only partial amounts of their Eclipsed Ki. Many Eclipsed Saiyans can be seen in this state, as evident by their eyes possessing pupils and varying eye color. Some users' are born into this state, most notably those of the Okoshi Blood Line, who are the direct descendants of the first Eclipsed Saiyan. These descendants naturally absorb low levels of Blutz Wave Radiation without needing a trigger. However, they still require an initial stimulus to unlock the Iwazaru state.
Hyaku Iwazaru
This version of Iwazaru, which takes them beyond their standard capabilities, is achieved by absorbing their allies' Ki. By doing so, their Ki increases in power equal to the Ki they absorbed. Once they enter this version, they will gain an all-black aura until the Ki they absorbed dissipates.
Kyōsaku
Through the usage of Ki Scalar Manipulation, the user can further condense their energy beyond what is ordinarily possible, leading to an even more potent version of Iwazaru. The increase in power output depends on how skilled the user is at controlling their Ki; this is represented visually by their height. The smaller they are, the more powerful they become, as even reaching their original size is considered highly impressive. Anything beyond that, and you are recognized as a prodigy. Besides the apparent power increase proportional to the size decrease, the body also slims down significantly when compared to before.
Raging Soul
A state only ever attained by the Kingsmith, Master Ragus. This form is achieved by a Eclipsed Saiyan when they synchronize with their Kodai. Through this synchronization, the Saiyan can gain massive amounts of power through the consumption of souls. The more souls he sacrifices, the more energy he attains from it, increasing his power thousands of times over. While powerful, this technique is taboo as souls are to be cherished and laid to rest, not to be used as a power, and this desecration of souls was not to be left unpunished.
When using this form, the Kodai begins slowly eroding away due to the simultaneous absorption, purification, fission, and transference occurring simultaneously. The more souls they use, the faster the erosion. When the weapon has wholly eroded, the form ceases to be and has several drawbacks. For Ragus, once the form dissipated, he began suffering from Rapid Onset Ki Disorder, which left him completely defenseless. Due to the severity of his reckless Ki Manipulation, Ragus could no longer become stronger and was left unable to use even a fraction of his original power.
Shizaru
Shizaru is commonly referred to as the legendary variant of Iwazaru and is only attained by a single individual every lifetime. This form is brought about when the Kishin, a spiritual cluster of past Eclipsed Saiyans, chooses its successor. The user can endlessly absorb Blutz Waves while in the state, thus making their power unquantifiable.Trivia
- This transformation has been here for a long time. Still, I felt like the names needed changing, so I did just that and chose names that are direct references to the wise monkeys in Japanese Lore - Kikazaru, Mizaru, Iwazaru, and Shizaru, which translate to "Hear no Evil, See no Evil, Speak no Evil, and Commit no Evil."
- This form was created to give a different interpretation of how the Primal Power of the Saiyan race would be shown, and finding the best way to do that would have to be by taking Super Saiyan out of the equation entirely
- This page is here mainly so I don't forget how Eclipsed Saiyan's transformations work, though criticism is welcome
