I liked the Star comparison someone made in the episode thread. Unfortunately it doesn't work, as I'm sure that the correct order should be:
Red -> yellow -> blue -> white instead of the yellow -> red -> blue -> white order it would be in Dragon Ball.

This is based on Superman getting weaker under a red sun, than a yellow sun and since they very much like to deal with science stuff in Superman, it must be true!

Another color swap? No, please. I really hope something different and with more details from Toriyama and Toyotaro.

Something similiar to this:
You cut the unnecessary long hair or design some fancy hairstyle with the same length or not, some body marks, maybe red eyes and I would appreciate Saiyan's tail to return in this :D

Nah I remember saying I'd have liked it if everyone had a different SSJ God Colour. Like how SSJ4 varied between the 3 people who had it. In response I was told that it'd be a dumb Power Rangers idea. It's been 3 years later, and we've had more colour forms. Not hearing much about how dumb the Power Rangers multiple colours thing is bad anymore.

White would be the right choice if we're following the fire pattern. Pretty sure sure if that happens, it will be just another recolor tranformation.
Gohan being the only one to use it it would be cool though. His Mystic power + God Ki should do the trick.

But I think we had enough colors and I would rather not have more.

Not sure how I feel about the future character.
I don't want Cell back. And I would rather develop kid Trunks instead of overshadow him with Future Trunks.

Anyway, Glad to see despiste all the hate Toriyama is motivated and keeps doing his own thing. That's the spirit.

That was me, but my theory isn't based on the color of stars, but the power of fire. Like Vegeta talked about in the last episode, the fire inside you is what unlocks SSJ. My theory from earlier:
SaiyaSith wrote:I always thought white hair would be the best color for the "saiyan god form". It would fall in line with how Beerus is an Egyptian-type god and the saiyan would be a Greek/ Zeus-type god. It would also fall in line with the color/ heat of fire:

Yellow > Red > Blue > White

White symbolizing the power of a sun/ stars.

That's my bet too. It might just be SSJ2 recoloured if they went this route, but I'd sooner bet on the iconic SSJ look. I don't know if they can really pull another recolour now as they've already done it, but it really wouldn't surprise me. Nothing has to be as grand as SSJ4, but at least put a new spin on the SSJ look. That'd at least would be satisfying.
Gohan being the only one to use it it would be cool though. His Mystic power + God Ki should do the trick.
Won't happen, but it'd be cool to combine his raw potential with god ki, instead of Super Saiyan. Cabba is possibly the new Gohan anyways.
Not sure how I feel about the future character.
I don't want Cell back. And I would rather develop kid Trunks instead of overshadow him with Future Trunks.
But...Fukkatsu no C...We can have Cell comeback, and he won't give a shit about Gohan. He'll only care about Goku because GOKU!

Definitely agree. Future Trunks' story was ended fine, and bringing him back to overshadow Kid Trunks is horrible. The poor kid as well as Goten did not get good screen time at all. They're token children characters. It's unfortunate they never got any good development. Though GT Trunks is the closest to that I guess. GT Goten is bland.

It is but White looks really good on them, especially Vegeta so I can't really complain.

Isn't yellow fire hotter than red and blue hotter than white?

We don't ask for more colors, we just prefer Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan would have white hair. :wink:

Finally got around to reading the interview. Sounds like Future Trunks and SS White could possibly be coming to the series. Although the way its worded, we could be 100% wrong. The interviewer says "tell me something about the future of the series" in which they respond "a future related character...". I am not so sure they meant a character from a future timeline. I think they just meant a character who will be coming in future episodes/ arcs. It could really be anyone. Or it could be Future Trunks who knows lol.

Also, he mentions saving Super Saiyan White for another occasion. It could mean he plans on using it down the road or knowing Toriyama, he doesn't plan anything and just has it in his back pocket incase the opportunity presents itself. Also for the white hair not meshing well with the new enemy, I don't believe hes talking about Freeza. I dont think Toyotaro would react by saying "I think I just heard something amazing" if it was just Freeza considering everyone knows Freeza by now. Anyway, just my two cents. What I take away from the interview is really nothing is confirmed but it leaves a lot of room for having fun and guessing about what will happen next. Pretty exciting stuff! 8)

Enjoying the extra tween-chapter Vegeta art bits that have been revealed from the manga thus far. Hopefully we'll find out if there are more soon, as well as get a look at the interview.

With the wording used, "未来に関係する 「あるキャラ」", Toyotaro is referring to a specific character with connections to the (distant) future. If he wanted to say future character as in upcoming character like you're thinking, he would've worded it as 将来であるキャラ or something similar. Japanese language is less ambiguous when using their word for future.

Not so keen on Mirai Trunks returning (if that is the case).

Well then there you go lol. I didn't read the japanese, only Herm's translations on Twitter. Thanks for the info!

I won't lie, that looks pretty damn cool. But that's mainly due to the fact that the colour scheme of Vegeta's outfit complements the colour of his hair. It blends in perfectly. And considering we're very likely to get this in the future, I wouldn't mind Vegeta becoming a Super Saiyan White if this is how it looked. Now Goku, on the other hand, may need a new outfit.

Goku should keep Super Saiyan Blue but get his EoZ outfit. I think that would look pretty cool.
Also, I find it funny that SSGSS got renamed to SS Blue because it might mean new transformations will be recolors and it's an easy naming scheme. I really hope they are not just recolors though, if that's the case. SSG was perfect, it changed enough details to feel fresh. I don't mind Blue because it's literally SSJ but with God ki, so having it be a recolor makes sense storywise. However if a new one is just a recolor, we are stepping in AF teritory...
