One of Babidi ’s more intimidating abilities is his power to send people to dissimilar locations , even if those locations are across the macrocosm . When Goku faced off against Yakon , Babidi transported everyone to Yakon ’s household world , one devoid of light and engulfed in blinding darkness . Goku could n’t see a thing whereas Yakon was used to operate in the sales pitch black landscape and expand on this battlefield . However , just as Yakon thought he would be victorious , Goku power up to Super Saiyanand the light he give out from his very physical structure was enough to not only allow him to see Yakon , but also momently blind the creature – yield Goku a much - needed edge where he otherwise was at a monumental disadvantage .

While it was revealed immediately after this exhibition of an unexpected yet whole obvious power attribute to the Super Saiyan shift that Yakon could in reality absorb light energy , that does n’t negate the fact that powering up to Super Saiyan allowed Goku to see in a place where there was no luminosity . Being a Super Saiyan allows someone to become their own source of spark , just from the energy within themselves . For a fighter like Goku who oftentimes finds himself inthe far reach of theDragon Balluniverse , this is a middling handy ability to have – proving thatGoku ’s secretSuper Saiyanpower makes him even stronger .
