Yells/Screams: Jump to a 70–80+ in pitch, depending on intensity.

Texture:
Normal speech: Clear but slightly husky.
Battle mode: Gravelly, guttural, and rough.
Screams: Very raspy, strained, full of vocal grit.
> 🔥 Example: His Super Saiyan 3 scream sounds like someone being set on fire while trying to hold in rage—it’s raw and full-bodied.
