Top 5 Best anime transformation of all time

Ask any person about the biggest cliches in anime and you'll hear a lot about special "transformations." One need only look at some of the most iconic anime transformations to realize just how popular this trope has become in this medium. It's especially true for shōnen anime, where transformations are a dime-a-dozen. A simple look through some of the most popular shōnen anime of all time will reveal a plethora of transformations, all of which are powerful in their own unique ways.

5. Fairy Tale : Dragon Force
There's one transformation that actually triumphs over all the others in Fairy tail: Dragon Force! It allows a Dragon Slayer to practically turn into a Dragon, and is the most powerful state possible for a Dragon Slayer.
While this technique only lasts for a short while, it allows casters to access incredible power to augment their Dragon Slayer magic, while simultaneously ensuring that they also adopt the mannerisms and abilities of the dragons that they are trying to emulate

4.Bleach: Vasto Lorde Transformation

While Bankai might definitely be a stalwart powerup in Bleach, it doesn't even hold a candle to the incredible powers afforded by the Vasto Lorde transformation... even though it might be unwanted in every sense of the word.

We see the immense power afforded by this transformation in the fight between Ichigo and Ulquiorra, where a desperate Ichigo is taken over by his hollow half as he completely obliterates Ulquiorra in the most humiliating way possible.

3. One Piece: Gear Change

There's a reason why One piece is one of the most revered and celebrated series in Japan — the story weaved by Eiichiro Oda is an incredibly rich and varied one, as he fleshes out each and every world in this vast landscape.

Even the characters themselves have undergone some extensive changes. Take the example of Luffy, who utilizes the power of Gear Change along with the Devil Fruit's powerup to turn his body into an absolute powerhouse.

2. Naruto's Transformation (Nine-tailed fox)

Naruto's journey to controlling the nine-tailed fox's power is a long one. Throughout the Naruto series, Kurama's power takes over him and practically transforms him into the fox itself.

While the different forms of the fox are exceptionally cool, Naruto's best transformation is when he learns to control the fox's power. The gold aura and the jacket that form around him show how Naruto has grown as a Shinobi. It also calls back to the jacket worn by his father, Minato, which is a nice touch.

1. Goku Ultra Instinct

The sheer level of power exhibited in Dragon Ball is miles ahead of most anime shows on this list. Ultra Instinct is the latest awesome transformation to feature in the series.

Appearing near the end of Dragon Ball Super, the Ultra Instinct form is essentially a god-like counterattack form that can anticipate attacks and deal with them easily. It's a powerful form that is only shown once in the series, leaving us wanting more.
