I hope Super Saiyan blue sticks and Chou is a typo or something else because at this rate, Super Saiyan Blue or whatever isn't ever going to be decided upon. It's going to be worse than Dub and Original names like Satan and Hercule. I hope the Dub sticks to SSJB since the manga pretty much poked fun at Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan and gave a reason as to why they changed it.

That's how I look at them, they're both Ssjg but the color differs depending on how it was reached.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

I just got my Newtype Magazine for April, and I skimmed through the whole magazine twice... and couldn't find that spoiler page for Dragon Ball Super as shown in that pic pages back.

Super Saiyan Blue was sort of fun and quirky, but again, it seems more like Toyotaro was just poking fun at the whole thing in retrospect, given that it hasn't been adopted anywhere else apart from in the pages of his manga where he put in the gag.

The cynic in me says that the former is the title that Toriyama gave them, and the latter was Bandai venting dissatisfaction with it and trying to introduce something different to the fans to see if it stuck. Apparently it hasn't, so they've probably just held off by not referring to it as anything in the anime for the time being to give themselves time to figure out what the heck they're going to do.

It's the indecision that's most vexing, and frankly, I'll take anything right now so long as they actually show some consistency and stick with it henceforth.
Did ssj2 even have a name until the buu saga where Goku showed off all the forms?

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

It was only referred to as Super Saiyan Grade Five in a Saiyan guide book released in the TV version of the Trunks special. You can find the details here: http://www.kanzenshuu.com/forum/viewtop ... =7&t=22411
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.

So what does this mean for the spoilers we got earlier. Are they fake again?

Woah. Made me look at the super saiyan transformations a little differently.

I think I got it

Goku calls it Super Saiyan Blue, and Vegeta calls it Super Super Saiyan, and they argue about it

The new "if you touch the barrier, even in midair, it''s an out-of-bonds loss" rule was established after the battle of Vegeta versus Frost.
Who wanna bet that both sides will lose like in Goku vs Paikuhan?

I'm good with that. Goes with Vegeta still not calling him "Gokû". (Even though Gokû's accepted Vegeta's gonna call him Kakarrotto.)

I saw the Naruto spoilers with summaries, and Dragon Ball Super was nowhere on that same page. Maybe GojiitaAF got his from Animage and just put a picture of Newtype on there

So should we assume they are still true then.

I personally think Cabba and Vegeta, or maybe just Vegeta gets disqualified by touching the barrier.
