In Dragon Ball, it’s never explicitly stated that the royal Saiyan family has Super Saiyans in their direct lineage. While Vegeta and other Saiyan royalty, like his father King Vegeta, are incredibly powerful, their status comes more from their high power levels and elite class status at birth rather than any connection to the Super Saiyan transformation. The Super Saiyan legend was considered a myth by most Saiyans, including the royal family. While the transformation is known to be rare and special, there’s no indication that Vegeta or any other member of the royal family ever claimed to be part of a direct lineage of Legendary Super Saiyans. The evidence shows that the Super Saiyan transformation can be achieved based on a combination of factors, including the inheritance of S cells, hard work, and proper emotional triggers—none of which suggest any direct connection to the first Legendary Super Saiyan. In fact, there should be no connection between Goku, Vegeta, or anyone from the Saiyan royal family to the first Legendary Super Saiyan. Both Goku and Vegeta achieved Super Saiyan through their own efforts and circumstances, not through any ancestral ties to the original Legendary Super Saiyan.
['Kakarot… you've surpassed me by an unfathomable margin since our last fight! But I swear, I will train harder and rise above you! This prince of Saiyans will not be outdone by a low-class warrior!']

If you can, please let me know also. I am translating from Spanish version that I strongly suspect is also a translation. You can find Spanish Version link in synopsis at the bottom.
In this case, I think Goku is simply comparing Cell to his strength during their last fight at the Cell Games. Goku doesn’t tend to overthink things about Cell—he likely sees him more as a dangerous opponent than a long-term threat he needs to strategize against. Cell, on the other hand, was too arrogant to train or truly consider exploiting Zenkai boosts. I don’t think he’d actively think about using Zenkai until it happened to work for him. Cell was focused more on testing his strength against others rather than thinking ahead or refining his tactics for future encounters. If he were more disciplined, he might have used his abilities more strategically, but arrogance was always his downfall.
'Now that my combat power has grown this much, combined with my mastery of ki control, I won't have any trouble taking on Perfect Cell' Goku thought as he deactivated his Super Saiyan form.

Future Gohan had no Senzu Beans, no Dragon Balls and no Korin, no Kami, and no one else to rely on. In the canonical Dragon Ball timeline, there’s no clear evidence that Future Gohan knew about the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, the Lookout, or Korin Tower. As far as I recall, there’s no mention or indication of Gohan ever going to the Lookout before the Android Saga.
Later, Goku was treated in the healing chamber aboard Frieza's spaceship. After the treatment, his power level increased dramatically.

You might not believe it, but I’m convinced that someone made a wish on the Super Dragon Balls early on—probably around the time Yajirobe moved into Korin Tower—to ensure that no one on Earth could ever use, cultivate, or store Senzu Beans responsibly. It’s the only explanation for how absurdly they’ve been handled over the years! Consider these examples: No one stopped Yajirobe from munching on the beans like snacks, despite their life-saving value. No one thought to beat up Yajirobe for eating all the beans, even when supplies were critical. No one ever asked Korin about learning to grow Senzu Beans themselves, even though he’s been doing it for years. Bulma, despite being a genius with access to advanced technology and alien science, never researched Senzu Beans to figure out how they work or how to mass-produce them. No one used the Dragon Balls to wish for a limitless, self-replenishing supply of Senzu Beans—even though that could save countless lives. And let’s not forget Goku’s ongoing compulsion to feed these magical beans to his enemies, helping them grow stronger and giving them another chance to defeat him. Goku personally handed Vegeta a Senzu Bean on Namek, just because he’d been somewhat helpful in working with Gohan and Krillin, even though Vegeta was still dangerous and unpredictable. Goku gave Cell a Senzu Bean just so Gohan could have a fair challenge, risking everyone’s lives in the process. Goku also gave Moro a Senzu Bean after their battle, believing the Galactic Patrol could arrest him and ignoring the obvious risks. Honestly, if that Super Dragon Ball wish wasn’t made, then Earth’s defenders must be under some kind of cosmic “anti-logic” curse when it comes to Senzu Beans. How else can you explain no one taking even the most basic steps to ensure they’re used effectively or learning how to make more? Nothing related misuse of Senzu beans will suprise me. But to make it clear, he did have some Senzu beans later on.
Once dressed, Goku raised his right hand, focusing on locating the ki signatures of Gohan and the others on Namek.

As seen in Tournament of Power: "However, the battle doesn't quite go as Jiren expects, as Roshi can easily dodge many of Jiren's attacks. Even though he's eventually defeated via ring out, Roshi's performance is impressive to many in the fight's audience, including Whis and Beerus. ... Whis then stated that Roshi was the closest mortal ever to mastering the Ultra Instinct state, even if he didn't even know about it. It's only due to this ignorance of the Ultra Instinct and his lack of officially being trained in it that keeps Roshi from mastering it. " source: https://www.cbr.com/dragon-ball-master-roshi-ultra-instinct
Ultra Instinct is not a transformation but a divine control technique that even humans can master.

I’m not sure if it really matters, to be honest, and I’m not entirely convinced that healing pods were specifically designed for Saiyans. They seem more like universal healing technology adaptable to different species. As for Senzu Beans, they’re essentially a cure-all. While the series doesn’t explicitly show them restoring lost limbs, I wouldn’t be surprised if they could—especially if a limb was surgically reattached before using one. Most of the time, injuries in Dragon Ball tend to affect the character’s overall state, and Senzu Beans have no issue handling that. They’re easily one of the most magical forms of healing, practically unbeatable until we see angelic healing later in the series (which can presumably fully restore bodies or even resurrect people). Ultimately, I don’t think the type of healing matters all that much. As long as the body recovers, the individual’s power increases thanks to Saiyan biology.
Later, Goku was treated in the healing chamber aboard Frieza's spaceship. After the treatment, his power level increased dramatically.

Thank you for your comment! Just a quick reminder—this is a translation, not a complete rewrite, although I do make adjustments to ensure the story flows well and remains readable. Regarding S-Cells, they’re an interesting concept. For kind-hearted Saiyans like Goku, S-Cells grow more readily, and his relatively peaceful life on Earth likely contributed to their development. However, turning Super Saiyan also requires a sufficient power level, which Goku didn’t reach until much later. In contrast, Vegeta was a prodigy from birth, with a naturally high power level but fewer S-Cells due to his environment and life circumstances. During his time on Namek, Vegeta’s power increased dramatically, but his S-Cells hadn’t yet reached the threshold needed for transformation. My personal headcanon is that S-Cell growth is closely tied to Zenkai boosts. Each time a Saiyan is pushed to their limits and recovers, their body not only becomes stronger but also produces more resilient S-Cells while discarding weaker ones. This recovery process primes the body for future growth and transformations. So why was Vegeta able to achieve Super Saiyan after just a year on Earth? It wasn’t about location but rather the sheer number of times he was injured, healed, and grew stronger, leading to significant S-Cell development through repeated Zenkai boosts. Add in Kakarot’s guidance and Vegeta’s ever-present anger (a key emotional trigger for transformation), and the conditions were perfect for him to finally reach that milestone. Again, this is a translation, so while I aim to stay true to the original work, I do make adjustments to improve readability and coherence. Thanks for engaging with the story!
Having lived on Earth for decades, Goku had already accumulated enough S-Cells in his body.

Thank you so much for your kind words! It really means a lot to me. I hope to be able to continue working on this story for quite a while. Honestly, I’m really invested in the story myself. As I translate each chapter, I only discover what happens as I go along, so I find myself eager to keep going if I want to know what comes next. However, translating each chapter does take quite a bit of time, so I can’t promise a large number of chapters each day unless I’m able to focus on it full-time. But I truly appreciate your support and I’ll keep doing my best!
Hi. You mean continue this one below? I'd need link to raw book text. It's quite a bit time consuming to translate book chapters and fix all little inconsistencies, mistakes or just make sure it reads good in English and not rely 100% on machine translation. If I had enough monetary support via Patreon I could probably do few chapters a day but that seems unlikely at this stage and I can't spend that much time right now unless I have some support. Feel free to provide raw link if you can, might take up interest when I have more time. Was it this abandoned one? https://www.webnovel.com/book/superman-in-mha_30033213908953405
