Something I hadn't thought about before these (questionable) titles popped up. If Blacks transformation does get a new name in the vein of Super Saiyan Pink/Rose/Whatever, will that be the same name used on merchandise?

While the series proper now uses Super Saiyan Blue as the standard, merchandise almost exclusively still (thankfully) uses Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan. Obviously it isn't the same type of situation, as SSGSS came first in this example, but it would feel weird for Black's form to be the only color themed form in the marketing aspect.
Direct translations of the Korean DB Online timeline and guidebook.

Black looks like him, It's unavoidable. Let's see how they do it.
I don't care about Goku black but normal Goku needs to be off screen for a few episodes. If these titles are true then in this arc, even though they are mostly short, we would have:
Goku vs Trunks
Goku vs Goku Black round 1
Goku vs Zamasu
Goku vs Goku Black round 2

I'm actually looking forward to seeing...

[spoiler]The interactions with Zeno, if indeed the titles turn out to be true.

Episode 57: "Goku, Super Saiyan Blue"
Episode 56: " The Rematch of Goku vs Black! Super Saiyan Rose appears!!"
Episode 55 " I want to see Son Goku. A request for Zeno sama "
[/spoiler]

Super Saiyan Rose..... holy mother of Jesus, its as if pink wasnt girly enough they pull out Rose to seal the deal :lol:
I hope those are fake besides ep 55, I'm interested in why Zeno wants to see Goku, I mean this is the strongest being in the DBMultiverse and he wants to see someone as low of a being as Goku.

All those fights were unavoidable.
Goku vs FT Trunks - Goku wanted to test him and have an idea how strong Black was in comparision. It's also a throwback to when FT Trunks tested Goku before.
Goku vs Goku Black - Black just appeared in front of him. There's no way Goku wouldn't fight him.
Goku vs Zamasu - Most important fight of the arc because it's what ends up starting everything.
Goku vs Goku Black round 2 - Fake titles or not, you should know by obvious reasons this will happen. Goku doesn't like to leave fights unfinished anyway.

Now i just hope Goku is not the one to give the final blow, and FT Trunks/Vegeta have the chance to beat Black or the real main villain (if there's is something more).
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Goku did not need to fight Trunks or Goku Black as anyone could have done that.

Really whats the problem with naming things by there colour. Makes a big change from everyone being called super this and super that all the time.

Super Perfect Cell, Super Buu, Cooler Super Evolution, Super Android 13, Super Herajin Bojack (lets be honest thats what it should really be called), Super janemba, Super Baby 1 & 2, Super 17 and Super Yī Xīng Lóng.

I'll take Goku Black, Golden Frieza and Super Saiyan Blue & Rose if it means not having call my villain's forms "super" or adding more numbers to super saiyan.

Maybe he didn't, but when you take his character in account it's unavoidable. That's how he is.

Let's not speculate too much, since we don't know if these titles are even real. I'd wait for official confirmation first.

It makes sense because saying Super Saiyan Pink Black is just... wierd.. Rose would be fine with me, but Super Black would be better. "Pitch Black" would be a mouth dropper for a name :lol:

Yeah, going to wait for scans on this one. I'm tempted to believe but there has been fakes before so who knows...

After Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan Blue, and Golden Freeza, I don't really mind Super Saiyan Rose.

Yeah especially since SSJG feels like a whole seperate thing from SSJ since all the SSJ forms built up from SSJ1 but SSJG starts again from the base form

Tired of SSJ forms being named after a color, wish they'd be more original. I still prefer SSGSSJ over Super Saiyan Blue.
Also, Black's not a saiyan, so he shouldn't be called Super Saiyan Rose. Rather he just be called Rose Black or something.

I would love it if Super Saiyan Rose is a form beyond Blue that Future Goku managed to achieve in the AfterLife, and then his body got stolen somehow or whatever happened to it.

It seems he has Goku's body, which is a Saiyan body, so that does make him a Super Saiyan.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Rose isn't a color? Also if he's in a saiyan body, than its a super saiyan form.

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.

Yeah, real or fake we need some fights that Goku is not a part of.
If they're real I doubt this is the end of the arc so hopefully there will be plenty of chances for Trunks and Vegeta to get some fights.

Rose is a color.
Also at Makai, I'm not exactly sure why colors are less creative than numbers...

That's a totally rational response to potentially fake episode titles and not at all over the top.
