If done correctly, a yellow flame-like beam emitting from the group - in the dub, Beerus states it to be "divine energy" - shoots up into the sky, and golden colored clouds start to emerge.
Blue aura appears around the group, shrouding each individual in the ritual. Next, instead of concentrating their ki into the body, they must "pour their heart" (inner light in the dub) into them. The selected Saiyan to ascend will have the two Saiyans next to the target place their palms on the user's back, while the user faces away from the group.
In Dragon Ball Super, to perform the ritual, the six righteous Saiyans gather in a circle, all holding hands in the process. The Saiyan who is becoming the Super Saiyan God will ascend and transform into the Super Saiyan God. After this process, a blue fiery aura will appear throughout the circle, signifying the ritual is working. Six righteous Saiyans hold hands in a circle and transfer their ki into the Saiyan who is becoming the Saiyan God. But the ritual instructions are easy to misinterpret as only requiring five Saiyans, which is why it failed the first time Goku attempted it, although it did increase Goku's power. It requires five righteous Saiyans to perform and a sixth Saiyan to channel the ritual and ki into. In Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, the ritual is needed in order to achieve the Super Saiyan God transformation. The ritual being performed with the presence of Videl The aura of the Super Saiyan God resembles a raging fire.Ī Saiyan becomes cool-headed when in this form. The overall body structure appears to become younger and thinner in frame and build, though this is not the case for the Future Warrior and Shallot, as their musculature stays the same in their Super Saiyan God forms. The Saiyan's eyes become more detailed and the irises become red (appearing as more relaxed even in battle until sufficiently angered).
The hair retains its natural style but becomes more refined (losing any stray hairs). In this form, Goku possesses magenta-red hair (identical to his fur as a Super Saiyan 4) while Vegeta possesses crimson red hair.

When in this form, the Saiyan's general appearance has only slight differences: the most notable change is the slight pink skin tone (similar to the usage of Fury) and hair that is a shade of red. The Namekians were aware of the Super Saiyan God and wrote of the method to achieve the form in their book of legends. As Shenron explains to the Dragon Team and company, a Super Saiyan God once appeared on Planet Vegeta to stop the evil Saiyans but he failed because of the form's time limit. The power of six good-hearted Saiyans must be infused for one of them to achieve this legendary form. The "Super Saiyan God" is the legend among legends of the warrior race, the Saiyans. The Super Saiyan God form appears with a blue aura during the initial transformation sequence They went back and forth like this a bit before settling on the final design, and Toriyama was insistent on the form not being too different from Goku's regular appearance, specifically not being really muscular.
The series' original author, Akira Toriyama, came up with a picture of Super Saiyan God that was completely different than Yamamuro's own initial muscular, cloaked design. According to interviews with the Battle of Gods character designer, Tadayoshi Yamamuro, the original concept for Super Saiyan God, had the form being more muscular, wearing a cape, and with a hairstyle in-between Super Saiyan 3 and Super Saiyan 4.
