Because saiyans didn't exist in the story at that time.

The real question should be why didn't he go SSJ after Krillin first got killed.

>>139614934
because he wasn't that strong, also i don't know why he did go SSJ when krillin died if he knew that death doesn't mean shit when you can revive everybody

Maybe you need a strong body to contain the SSJ power.

Earth Shenlong could only revive the dead once. Krillin had been killed before so he could not be revived again.

Shenlong was upgraded after that, during the cell arcs, so this wasnt an issue anymore.

Official DB canon states that a saiyan's base powerlevel needs to be at least 100k or higher to transform.

The Namek Dragon also did not have the limitation, but at that point in the freeza arcs Goku did not know the rules which govern the Namek Dragon. He would have to have assumed that the one revival rule on Krillin was still valid.

Did you make this up?

Goten went SSJ while losing in a spar against Chi Chi

Chi Chi's power level must be greater than 100k, so she is the strongest human.

The powerlevel requirement isn't the same for half saiyans. It doesn't even take a fit of rage for gohan or goten to become super saiyans.

>implying he was fighting seriously

It's more like Goten and Trunks were both Conceived when Goku and Vegeta were both stronger, so as a result they don't need that burst of emotion that their fathers needed.

as far as Z goes, Goku was pretty damn weak when Gohan was born.

>>139616009
Gohan still needed the fit of rage. Goku just put him in a do or die situation to tap into it when they were training.
