I like it cuz it looks good. It fills so well with the colour scheme of Black's clothes too. Would it look so good on Vegeta or regular Goku? Probably not and that's why I'm glad it's an exclusive to Black.

I really like Gokû Black's rosé form. The pale pink with the dark grey, light grey, and red looks so good.

I'm still anxiously waiting for a wcf of him to be released. Gonna buy one of him (and maybe Zamasu, Future Trunks, and Mai).

This transformation has his meaning not like the super saiyan form and that makes it so special to me not only this it fits really well on Black Goku +
outfit
Super Saiyan wasn't some random color choice either. The Super Saiyan form itself (including the extended forms, SS2, SS3) is a metaphor for a fire. It even visually mimics a candle. Fire is a pretty strong symbol in itself, representing life, power, courage, death, loss, hope, etc. depending on the culture.

SSR is not unique in its symbolism. In fact, Rose is probably the most vague, unimpactful of all the forms in a symbolic sense, arguably other than SSG.
Toriyama actually made SSJ that color so he didn't have to spend time inking Goku's hair.

Common myth. Toriyama wasn't actually the one who shaded Goku's hair, that was his assistant. Although I'm pretty sure that is cited as a significant factor for the design choice.

I like it because its kind of what I thought SSB was going to be, an all purpose, one all form that replaced all the old ones.

While I love all the transformations and stacking I've always loved how anime Black just kept powering up without transforming to match Goku's SS2, with his aura growing darker and darker. Like final form Frieza he doesn't need to transform just increase his natural power. But on top of that he has one unique form, all his own that trumps the heros.

Also you cannot tell me that rose pink hair, gray eyes and that dark aura turned out to be the coolest dame SS variant ever.

The rose form does suit black more than super Saiyan does, super Saiyan doesn't have the capacity to be so flamboyant.

But if your worried about the manga, not having super Saiyan rose, don't worry its pretty much guaranteed to be his ultimate form
