Can sharingan copy Super Saiyan?

The Sharingan and Super Saiyan transformations belong to two entirely different universes—Naruto and Dragon Ball, respectively. The Sharingan is a powerful ability from the Naruto series, while Super Saiyan is a transformation unique to the Saiyan race in Dragon Ball. However, comparing them is an interesting exercise, especially in terms of abilities and the concept of copying techniques.

What is the Sharingan?

The Sharingan is a dōjutsu (eye technique) used by members of the Uchiha clan in Naruto. It grants the user various abilities, such as:

• Copying Techniques: The Sharingan allows its user to copy any technique they see, as long as it is not beyond their physical limits.
• Genjutsu: The Sharingan can trap enemies in illusions, manipulating their perception of reality.
• Predicting Movements: A Sharingan user can anticipate an opponent's movements, allowing them to dodge or counter attacks with precision.
• Evolving into the Mangekyō Sharingan: With emotional trauma and intense use, the Sharingan can evolve into a more powerful form that grants unique abilities, such as Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi.

What is Super Saiyan?

In Dragon Ball, Super Saiyan is a transformation exclusive to Saiyans, a powerful warrior race. This form grants the user a massive boost in strength, speed, and energy, often accompanied by physical changes (e.g., golden hair and green or blue eyes). The transformation is triggered by intense emotions, typically anger, and the user’s energy multiplies drastically.

Can the Sharingan Copy Super Saiyan?

While the Sharingan has the ability to copy a variety of jutsu (techniques), it cannot inherently copy transformations like Super Saiyan because it is not a technique or a skill—it’s a biological change that taps into a Saiyan’s hidden potential. Super Saiyan is more about emotional triggers and innate potential, which can't be replicated simply by watching someone transform.

Additionally, chakra (the energy source used by Naruto characters) and ki (used in Dragon Ball) are entirely different energy systems. The Sharingan is designed to work within the framework of chakra-based abilities, so it wouldn’t have the capability to copy ki-based transformations like Super Saiyan, which involves manipulating one's inner energy in a way that the Sharingan is not equipped to mimic.

What Would Happen If a Sharingan User Saw a Super Saiyan?

The Sharingan could probably observe and analyze a Super Saiyan transformation to understand the movements, techniques, and fighting style of the Super Saiyan. For example, it might be able to copy the way Goku or Vegeta fights in their Super Saiyan form (e.g., their attack patterns or ki-based moves). However, it wouldn’t be able to replicate the transformation itself or grant the Sharingan user the same power boost that Super Saiyan provides.

Conclusion

No, the Sharingan cannot copy Super Saiyan because it’s not a technique but a transformation linked to the Saiyan race’s biology. The Sharingan can only copy jutsu or techniques related to chakra, not changes tied to physical or biological traits like the Super Saiyan transformation. However, the Sharingan user could still study and adapt to the fighting style of a Super Saiyan.

In the end, both abilities are powerful in their own right, but each has its own limits and rules within their respective universes. Wouldn’t it be cool to see what happens if these two worlds collided, though?
