In this form, Goku is able to fight the assassin Hit, with the latter fighter using his full power.

While increasing its users' strength, the state appears to be an even bigger defensive boost, giving Goku enhanced awareness of incoming attacks and allowing him to fight Beerus to a standstill until he grew exhausted from maintaining the form. Significantly more powerful than Super Saiyan 3, the new state allows its users to become charged with godly energy but rapidly draining its users' own energy reserves to maintain the transformation.
