Maybe it was trained by the grand Kai of U10 or wherever it's from.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Especially when all we have to go on is that low quality image from the Amazon samples page. I'm open about it until we see it officially not a fan of what a saw but it's grown on me since.

It is a kanji for ''Dai'', grand - 大. So it indicates that this character has a status of ''grand-something'' in the DB pantheon.
Like the Dai Kai-oh (The Grand Lord of Worlds who is overseeing the 4 Lord of Worlds in Universe 7). So maybe, this is the Grand Lord of Worlds for all the Universes and one step down from Xeno, who is the ruller of them all?
We have to wait 2 weeks for the answer :)

I'm one of those who started hating it hard, but then I saw this (I guess) fan art and then said to myself "Maybe is not that much terrible":

Aura for me is going to be the biggest selling point. I like SSG but disliked the aura. The aura is what ultimately sold me on SSGSS (Blue being my favourite colour was already a big factor).

From what I know, in Japan, Pink is seen as a pretty masculine colour.

I'm effin tired of that "oh, pink is feminine, ugh" narrative. It's 2016, fellas. Your manhood is not in danger if you watch an anime when someone/something has that colour on it, and is not a sign of weakness. Get over that bs.

I agree with you, but at the same time I can't take anything seriously that has ''IT'S CURRENT YEARS, DUDES!" in it.

And good bye agreement. Yes, I think the people's areguments are bullshit, but assuming that it's because their 'manhood is threatened' isaso asinine.

Dunno why people keep saying "oh its threatening your manhood!!!" You're just making that up. It has nothing to do with my manhood.

Yes, it's 2016 and in 2016 pink is still a feminine color. Not a good argument.

There's a reason why everyone made fun of Vegeta's pink shirt lol. Not a good example.

And yes I mean Power Ranger.

Oh, c'mon. That's an empty statement. Just another guy trying to act cool. Try harder next time.

Trying to be cool? For saying that I think the statement of it being the current year is hard to take seriously? Could you explain that?

In reality, there are no contradictions with anything I said and the fact that you didn't bother to point out any shows it. You're not much of a debater.

"Pink is always female (with the exception of one)"

I meant pink MALE power ranger. I'm typing on mobile so sorry if that wasn't clear.

No it was not clear, thanks for clarfying. Though you disprove your sentence right there, there is a male pink ranger. And even if there wasn't, that doesn't disprove my point that pink isn't seen as feminine in Japan.

Collectively, you're all beginning to verge on account strike territory.

Petty jabs and dismissive one-liners aren't acceptable.

As frustrating as debates can be for both sides, please try and keep your cool, and respect the forum rules.

Sorry, but Kanassa's right. It is incredibly difficult to take CURRENT YEAR seriously. It's a worthless non-argument.
Sorry for butting in on this debate like this, but I felt like I needed to bring in some sources.
