It seems like a conscious choice by Toriyama to have U6 Saiyans like this. Just look at Hit and Frost (especially Hit) they have muscles unlike Cabba. I just wish Toriyama would give us a more muscular male Saiyan from U6.
Urhm Renso, Caulifla's brother, hello? Are people forgetting about him? :lol: Sure, he's not "main cast" but he looks exactly how U7 saiyan fighters look like. Heck, he can barely walk and still got muscular pecs :P

Renso was probably designed by someone at Toei and he probably won't ever appear again

And? His existance ensures Toriyama's current infatuation with skinny sticks won't be the sole design esthetic for U6 Saiyans

Where did I ever say Toriyama will never draw a muscular U6 Saiyan? Though he hasn't yet, I just wished he will do one in the future. I would like to see U6 Saiyan's King in the tournament, and I would like him to be designed by Toriyama.

It’s true. (laughs) Goku was originally an actual monkey in the initial sketches, after all. My editor told me, “Without a tail, he has no distinguishing traits,” so I added a tail. That tail I added was such a nuisance when I was drawing, I couldn’t stand it… so I immediately thought up an episode where his tail gets cut off. (laughs)

No, it’s just that I’m always thinking about how things are supposed to work, so it was a real pain to figure out how he’d put his pants on or stuff like that. That’s what always bugged me most. Is there a hole in the pants? Does he put his tail through first, then put the pants on? So that made me want to just get rid of the darn thing… which I did, in the end. (laughs)

I agree with Majin Jator about the lack of tail but otherwise I really like how they differ from their Universe 7 counterparts. I wouldn't find it as interesting if they were simply identical to "our" Saiyans.

Look to the female in the midle, she really looks like a woman not like a 12 years-old girl like Kale and Caulifla, which makes her more appealing!

Also I don't like that Saiyans in U6 don't have tail, they look like earthlings to me, I think Toriyama should not have them to lose such a important characteristic to the Saiyan race
I agree. I feel the Saiyans look far greater with this design. Big, strong, looking like they're as much trouble as they're said to be. Nappa, Raditz, Bardock, & basically every background Saiyan in "Bardock: Father of Goku".

Having said that; I LOVE Caulifla's design. Mainly her hair, and I feel having the older style design with her current head/hair design would probably improve her. My current issue is it seems Toei's just changing SSJ's design to their base form, but golden. Lazy, and too similar to the lazy Xenoverse games.

I'm not really a fan of Universe 6 having saiyans to begin with, but the skinnier and leaner designs are at least logical since they're more advanced technologically and civilisationally speaking than the barbarians in Universe 7. Should have kept the tails though. Cripes I miss the tails.
