Lmao that'll just make them angrier and then call super a shit show. Honestly, I don't want that. And tbh i don't like pink either. It matches with his outfit so much less than white.

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.

Everyone was expecting SSJ White.
Well I'm always glad when people like Forneverworld and Double4Anime get their theories shafted.

Then again, there will be a polarizing backlash.

I'm honestly going to laugh in the scenes of SSJP Black playing his chilling theme song. It's just going to lose that feeling for me.

This is hilarious and it makes me so happy! I hope this is real.

I kind of hoped black would never need a transformation, but if he has to get one, please let it be pink.

I think it will actually be terrifying. Remember Kid Buu? I think it'll suit the form fine, but that's just my opinion.

Sorry, no. I just can't compare the two.

Damn , I wanted Black to be menacing but with Pink I can't take him seriously. Everytime he transformed I'll laugh.

I don't think it'll be as bad in the show, as long as he makes menacing faces and acts menacing. I mean it worked for super and kid boo. Still wish it was white. That wouldve been so cool on his black outfit. And would also have been ironic because whire is associated with purity

If this is a thing, It probably won't be , like, Hot pink or anything.

I think it looks pretty cool in this one image. But I get the concerns. I think Buu could get away with it because Buu is a weird looking monster already.

No, I mean he doesn't like to follow people's expectations. He likes to do the opposite.

Oh God, I hope so much this is real, Toriyama has reached a new level of ridiculusness.

It does make me wonder if this is just the Black equivalent to SSJ1, and it''ll just keep progressing.

I can already imagine what happened.

Toei Executive: "This arc is really amazing Toriyama-sensei but doesn't Black transform?"
Mr.Toriyama: "No."
Toei Executive: "I think he should really have one, the kids would love it."
Mr.Toriyama: "He doesn't need one."
Toei Executive: "But Goku has transformations..."
Mr.Toriyama: "OK, he transforms into SSJ Pink."
Toei Executive: :shock: "Please anything but that. There's so many colors..."
Mr.Toriyama: " It's pink and this conversation it's over. One more word and I'll turn him into a magical girl!"
Toei Executive: "Thank you very much for you work, sensei." :cry:

I might be in the minorities but I don't want Black to have a transformation he's not even a Saiyan.

I was fine with Black the way he was.

But, can we speculate that he obtained this new form after embedding SS2 Goku's power into himself?

It's in this set of sticker(?) things.
They're actually mini sized shikishi art boards, sold blind box style in a variety of designs. So they are sort of artistic renderings of the characters that could take some liberties, though I doubt they'd change the hair color for no reason...I guess the real question now is what shade of pink we'll be seeing :D

Yes, and Toriyama flips the table on those people.

I think it's time we let go of seeing Pink as a "silly" or "foolish" color. It's as valid as blue honestly lol Not a big deal.
Dragon Ball /Z/GT/Super is a children's show and there's nothing wrong with that.
