Part 4/10:
Training sessions flounder between the thrill of discovering personal power and the harsh reality of inevitable combat. Young warriors are pitted against each other, enduring brutal tournaments designed more for entertainment than education. The introduction of the Saibamen, monstrous creatures used for training, transforms these sessions into harrowing near-death experiences. Saiyan strategy hinges on surviving these torturous encounters to trigger an inherent strength known as Zenkai boosts.
Deeply entrenched in the cycle of violence, young Saiyans are then subjected to the final stage of training: the transformation into an Ozaru, a great ape. This metamorphosis strips away any sense of self, subjecting them to a frenzy that only further grooms them into mere weapons of war.
