If they debut a new white-haired form, then I absolutely expect that to be a transformation for Black, rather than the good guys.

And assuming it's not a form exclusive to an evil Saiyan then it could be a new goal for Goku and Vegeta going forward, assuming they beat him without going White, for instance with something like fusion or a Genki Dama.

I can imagine spirit bomb being the attack that will eventually defeat Black. Like when Goku used kaio-ken against Hit, Goku will have to use one of his most powerful abilities if he wants to terminate Black like Kid Buu.

Isn't it implied Black isn't a Saiyan though? If Black does transform (I am skeptical) then it would be whatever he is exclusive.

I'm interested to see why we haven't seen any images of Black going SSJ. He clearly has Goku's skills as shown by instant transmission. I hope for a new transformation, evil-exclusive but I highly doubt it. Seems to me his power is more magic-based, like someone took a base God Goku and powered him up a la Majin-style.

If he does have an evil exclusive transformation and he is in fact a Saiyan (or at least partly) I bet that shortly after the arc ends Heroes gives the transformation to Broly.

Why does Black tell Trunks that he's the last warrior of the Saiyan race if Black is supposedly a Saiyan himself?

Where was it said that he's a Saiyan? (Sorry, I haven't watched EP49 yet.)

I was rewatching Zarbon (Post Transformation) vs. Vegeta, and wow... I didn't remember how brutal was their first fight, hope Black gives Goku the same treatment as Zarbon gave with Vegeta :)

Better yet, I hope Black does what Vegeta did to Goku near the end of the Saiyan Saga.

Also with the whole identity revealing episode that is coming up makes me very doubtful he is actually a Saiyan.

He called Trunks a "Saiyan" in EP47. I thought that was evidence enough that he's not one. (Although if he has a Super Saiyan form, then I am going to say Super Earthlings/Humans can exist. Not saying he is one)

I'd rather have SSJW be only exclusive for Black. No new forms for Goku and Vegeta.

Super Saiyan White must be a "negative version" of the Super Saiyan. It's curious because Mira already has it. I agree it should be exclusive to Goku Black (and Mira), if Goku Black is a Saiyan, that is.

Either way, if Goku Black is a Saiyan and has an exclusive Super Saiyan form that is evil there is no way Heroes doesn't end up giving it to Broly.

He just states "what a sad ending for a proud Warrior race". He said it like Trunks was the last Saiyan, but then what the hell is Black Goku? Is he like an evil shape shifting Kaioshin? I only say it because he has that earring...so many questions!

Time breaker Bardock & time breaker Vegeta would probably get it as well.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Why's this combining of SSWhite and Black coming from? Is it just for irony sake or?
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

No, Toriyama said he would save Super Saiyan White for another occasion or something like that.
