"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[Avok]

So disappointed. I had problems with the red and blue hair, and now they give us a pink version...

Like, it's unimaginative and unaesthetic... And I wanted to convice my self that the series could improve from this arc on. So silly.

[SaiyanZ]

So I guess its confirmed now that that is Goku's actual body then right?

From pink hair? Nothing is confirmed. We will know when the show tells us exactly what Black is, whether he is using a saiyan body or just the shape of Goku.

Not because the color is pink, but because Black transformed and the hairstyle is like a Super Saiyan's. Guess it has to mean the body is that of a Saiyan, and I doubt its anyone but Goku's.

He probably finished writing this arc a long time ago

This whole arc was aspired from the staff at Toei, not him.

[Bullza]

Brain overload
I wonder if the Pink thing will really be in the anime, I honestly got the vibe that Black wouldn't have a transformation but would change bodies instead. I hope the Pink SSJ is legit though.

Off topic but One Piece is actually 70% complete not 65%.

I drug that quote from anime news network, must have been a mistake.

Oda himself said 70% but the Japanese magazine he was doing the interview for misquoted him and put 65% and that's what all these sites picked up on.

[TekTheNinja]

I think it's kinda stupid that we're getting another super saiyan recolor, but I'm not even mad because the form looks really cool. It looks absolutely badass. The colors work perfectly.

[sintzu]

Surprise doesn't mean throw silly things at us.

That's true but you have to admit that it works.

Look at Monaka, everyone lost it because of how weak he looked and to everyone's surprise like Vegeta and Piccolo's, he really was weak.

Don't you just love it when the fans get proven wrong ? (SSJ White)

We've been wrong about nearly everything starting with RF.

He probably finished writing this arc a long time ago

He started during the Fall and finished it in February.

One Piece is actually 70% complete not 65%.

In a recent interview Oda said it was.

I drug that quote from anime news network, must have been a mistake.

It wasn't, the 70% was from an old interview with his editor while the 65% was from Oda himself.

This whole arc was aspired from the staff at Toei, not him.

We don't know what was from them so it's unfair to say it all was.

Maybe they just asked for Future Trunks and he came up with the rest including Black.
Maybe they wanted an evil Goku so he come up with Black and decided to bring Trunks back.

[MCDaveG]

Wow, pink hair spawned such a discussion. I like it if it is legit. Goes well with Black's overall colour pallete.
When I first saw SSJ Blue, I thought: ''Whoa, that is a weird shit...'' But it grew on me.

My biggest problem with SSJ Blue was that I was happy about God transformation and then we've got another up from nowhere that made God transformation irrelevant.

[sintzu]

Like, it's unimaginative and unaesthetic.

We've gotten a Red Ssj, a Blue Ssj, a Golden Freeza, a Freeza clone, a fat Beerus, a female Whis & now an Evil Goku so you should be used to it by now.

I do think it's a lazy design but it was a surprising one like most of his decisions so at least Toriyama can still do that.

[CashmanX]

Japan needs to release a DBS themed cotton candy with SSB Goku and Super Goku Black on the packaging.

[Baggie_Saiyan]

Vegeta has his "F" outfit. Goku has SSG and Gogeta is there. So skeptical myself this means anything. Though I do admit this would be the first recolour that I don't like. White suited him so much better.

[Lujin_16]

i think they will change his hair in the anime it will be not pink

[Kanassa]

My only problem with the form is that it doesn't seem to go well with Black's outfit, but we'll see what it looks like in the anime itself. Though for all the comments of how unimaginative this is, I'm just thinking, are you really surprised? I mean, this is Toriyama, the same guy who made three transformations that were just a small growth in muscle mass and hair. With that, recolouring is an up... BY a smidge.

[namekiansaiyan]

If this pink transformation means Goku and Vegeta get nice beatdown then It will be good.

[ArchedThunder]

I'm going to guess Pink is an exclusively evil Saiyan transformation so it's not something Goku and Vegeta will ever get and if Toriyama ever intends to use white it will be for the good guys.

If this is an evil form I want Broly to get it in Heroes even more just because I know it would cause a shit storm.

[Alruneia]

It's certainly an interesting choice. His eyes are pink too, right?
I hope that when we get Pink Black there's an explanation for why he's able to transform and why it looks like that. It's not something to just gloss over. Is it a sort of Super Saiyan Demon form, is it possible for all saiyans to achieve this form, is it even a Super Saiyan form at all... Many questions.
inb4 this somehow turns out fake

[sintzu]

If this pink transformation means Goku and Vegeta get nice beatdown then It will be good.

Reading this would give the impression that they were disrespectful to Piccolo during the tournament.

It's not something to just gloss over.

That's kind of what Super does.

[vashter]

a pink black goku... no fucking wonder, black / pink suit well.

[ArchedThunder]

[spoiler][/spoiler]
I bet this is in Heroes within a year and a half.

What has that got to do with Piccolo as I have said before I am not interested in Goku and Vegeta anymore in Super so I just want to see them get beat up so maybe Beerus, Whis or someone else does something. They were disrespectful to Piccolo but Beerus wasn't because he was smart.

[Luso Saiyan]

Like, it's unimaginative

On the contrary, the fact that nobody considered or even expected it proves it.

And I wanted to convice my self that the series could improve from this arc on. So silly.

The hair color of a character is your barometer of an arc's quality? Wow...

----

I'm perfectly fine with it. Just waiting for the reaction when people realized their own fan fiction dreams have not materialized.



No shame in pink.
