Well if this future villain has something white about them then we are limited down to Vados, Whis, Gero, Mira, Towa, Demigra, Frieza and Frost. Of course thats if this villain is anyone we know of.

Also Android 13, Hoi, Baby Vegeta and Yī Xīng Lóng count to.

Yea but if it happened right at the moment as i have said above then they will switch to news broadcast.
Oops, i was thinking of a few years ago.

There was another occasion after an earthquake where they aired an interrupted OP episode at late night, so the next one wouldn't be delayed. This is very rare, though.

I completely agree. But as others have noted before, including myself and Herms, Toriyama does phrase it weird. Resurrection F has already been released, the anime adaptation of the arc had probably started by the point the interview was conducted. So it begs the question that if he meant Freeza, why not just say Freeza?

Also, he didn't just do the designs for the film, he wrote the whole script. Surely he would know that there's not really a lot of overlap for clashing colors of a white-haired Super Saiyan when Freeza's going gold... (Though the irony of the color swap for Saiyans becoming white and Freeza going gold would have been hilarious.)
I also agree it probably was Freeza, that's what makes the most sense in the context of the question and answer. Maybe Toriyama answered that way because, at the time, Freeza was to be "the next enemy" and he was just putting himself in that timeframe again.

Also, I think the clashing would be because Freeza has been (mostly) white the whole film and, when he finally changes color, Goku would turn white-haired. That was maybe what he meant.

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.

SSB2?

Dragon Ball /Z/GT/Super is a children's show and there's nothing wrong with that.

It's probably just the artist's style, but it really looks like a SSJ2. Is that from McDonald's?

It has his Ssj2 hair and sparks but that's probably due to the artist liking the design and it's close to Ssj1 so he used it anyway.

I can't wait for all the Youtubers to make videos about Ssjb2 being confirmed.

Can't wait for Goku to use Kaio-ken and leave Vegeta, once again, in his dust, where he belongs.

Considering SSjBlue drains stamina a lot.Mixing it with Kaioken would make it even more worse.He can probably only use it for few seconds like the tournament filler Super Kaioken.

I don't get why he's been getting hated on recently, it's not like he made Piccolo give up his victo...never mind, carry on with the hate. :lol:

I'm surprised they still didn't reveal some stuff for the next arc and hype the fans considering the tournament will end this morning's episode.So far,only the future-related and popular character returning was the only big revelation.

I think we only got information on the tournament arc is to get people excitied for it as at the time they were currently airing the movie retellings and people might be losing interest.

If that's really gonna be SSJ2B, I will laugh so hard, then wait for people to think it's a great idea later.

Was I against him doing that ? Yes and I still am but he's my favorite character so I'm also happy that he got more screen time and an extra win.

Doesn't make sense give him another color, if we're following the same pattern. SSB3 would also be blue.
Just like when they use normal Ki to transform, all the forms are yelow.

If the white hair form turns out to be a thing in the future, Toriyama will have to come up with a new concept.
Because unless it's a new pattern (Gohan Mystic Powers + God Ki for example), a new hair color doesn't make sense at this point.
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.
