We Saiyans Have No Limits
Also known as: Let's Charge Together With Full Power
"We Saiyans Have No Limits" is a catchphrase meme from the mobile game *Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle*, where the characters Goku and Vegeta deliver a boastful intro line for a card that the community widely considers underwhelming. The ironic gap between the epic dialogue and the card's actual performance turned the phrase into a running joke across TikTok, X, Reddit, and Discord starting in August 20243.
Overview
The meme centers on the intro animation for the "Saiyan God SS Goku & Super Saiyan God SS Vegeta" card in *Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle*. In the animation, Vegeta declares that Saiyans have no limits, and Goku follows up by telling Vegeta to "charge together with full power"3. The card was released on August 27, 2023, but the community came to a general consensus that the unit underperformed3.
The comedy comes from the contrast between the characters' confidence and the card's actual in-game results. Memes typically show the intro animation playing before cutting to the characters getting destroyed, or use the catchphrase sarcastically when something goes wrong. The phrase also spread as a spam comment across Discord servers and social media platforms tied to the *Dokkan Battle* community3. A sound effect version of the quote circulates on soundboard platforms like Voicemod Tuna1.
The card Super Saiyan God SS Goku & Super Saiyan God SS Vegeta dropped in *Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle* on August 27, 20233. Its intro animation features Vegeta's line about Saiyans having no limits, followed by Goku's call to charge together at full power. The official *Dokkan Battle* TikTok account uploaded a video of the intro on the same day3.
For nearly a year, the card existed without much meme attention. That changed on August 10, 2024, when X user @Ch4tterFo0L posted what appears to be the earliest notable meme using the catchphrase3. The video showed *Fortnite* gameplay of players using Goku and Vegeta skins getting defeated, playing off the irony of Vegeta's boastful claim. The post picked up over 1,000 reposts and 8,400 likes within two months3.
Origin & Background
How It Spread
How to Use This Meme
The typical format involves setting up high expectations and then showing a disappointing result:

Immediately follow it with the characters losing, failing, or being outperformed

Cultural Impact
Fun Facts
The card was released a full year before anyone made a notable meme about it. The meme didn't take off until August 2024, nearly 12 months after the card's August 2023 launch.
@db_artie's TikTok clip using the Japanese version of the intro was the biggest early viral hit, pulling over 422,600 views.
The meme exists in both English and Japanese versions, since *Dokkan Battle* is a global game with voice acting in multiple languages.
Goku, the character in the meme, is based on Sun Wukong from the 16th-century Chinese novel *Journey to the West* and was created by Akira Toriyama.
The Saiyan race, referenced in the catchphrase, was not part of Toriyama's original plan. Goku was only established as a Saiyan after fighters from other planets were introduced to the series.
