No, the fact that Zamasu says that SSJ Rosé is when a deity surpasses the SSG (SSGSS) just shows that there is a direct connection between the two transformations.Marlowe89 wrote:I never said that the forms have no connection at all. Obviously, God is a predecessor in the sense that its power leads to unlocking Blue. It's a level between SS3 and SSB, but not necessarily by manner of forms stacking on top of each other like in the traditional way. That was never implied to be the case for either of those forms.TheSaiyanGod wrote:Considering the DBS manga, you really CAN NOT mention that the SSG has no connection with the SSB, since Goku himself claimed to be a predecessor of Blue.
If Goku and Vegeta can turn into SSG in manga, then what is the logic of SSB being a form of a Saiyan with SSG power (but still in base form)?
If anything, the DBS manga is perfectly consistent with the fact that they're not directly connected in the way you're making them out to be. Black powered up in his ordinary Super Saiyan state and then Zamasu specifically mentioned that his hair color changed because he surpassed Super Saiyan God in that form (with yellow changing to blue for mortals and to pink for gods) which in turn would suggest Blue to be an alternate, "godly" version of the first Super Saiyan stage. Additionally in Episode 20, both Goku and Vegeta were shown being exposed to the aura of Blue while in their base forms -- Goku was also briefly shown with his golden Super Saiyan aura just before transforming into Blue for the first time in Episode 25.
SSB was stated to have the power (i.e. strength) of SSG, but at absolutely no point was it ever mentioned to possess all the same qualities and attributes SSG was said/shown to have. You're the only one claiming that the writers suddenly changed the nature of Blue without clarifying how or why, but that idea hasn't been substantiated in the slightest.
So much connection that just the fact that a user surpasses an SSG, the hair color can change color (depending on the true nature of the person)
And what are the qualities of SSG?
I agree that there are particularities of the Red form as the slimmer physique, the reddish skin tone and the color of hair, eyebrow and eyes turning red.
But, regeneration? This was not made explicit to me, even because absolutely nothing was said after Goku returned to the stratosphere to face Beerus (this would be an incredible feat, but it seems that the aim of the scene was to be an overcoming)
