I like that Kale's got a different face and skintone from Caulifla. They don't look like identical twins anymore!

Yes. The other member of her gang is clearly the character going Broli-style Super Saiyan in the intro and the one we've seen in Super Saiyan form as an isolated character design.

She's also the one who ... you know, resembles Broli, with the timid demeanor, red and gold color scheme, etc.
For a visual guide...

Poor Kale looks like she needs a hug, some kind words and a nice coup of tea.

Okay, now everything makes sense to me. Before I thought that there was a screw up on Toei's part and the meek female Broly we saw in the opening had been removed and was replaced with Caulifla. But after watching the latest episode it turns of that we're getting two female Saiyans! I am okay with this.

I'm glad there's two females. I've actually really wanted regular super saiyan not the LSSJ

Well okay then. So I take it that naming her Caulifla was a fakeout? I call for a name swap. I call shenanigans. I call Toriyama screwing with his fans.

Buuuut... At the end of the day, it's just a name. I would have liked for Caulifla to be Fem Broly, but oh well.

However, I begin to wonder if it's truly the LSS form, or just rage eyes grade 3. There is art to show that Kale has a buff super saiyan form though. Combine that with her "fem broly" type form, and... well, she'll be a contender for sure.

You know I just realized that Cabba, Kale, and Caulifla are all in the same vegetable family lol...

How? Cauliflower is related to leafy vegetables?

Cauliflower, Kale, and Cabbage come from the same plant species

I'm no botanical expert, but I'm sure they are closely related.

I get it. It's one of those "Red Pandas look like Raccoons" things, right?

I hope her personality makes up for it

I may be wrong, but I've this impression that Toriyama get to design one female saiyan, and Toyotaro the other one (with AT corrections), similar to what they did with the gods of destruction. I say this because Kale doesn't look at all like an idea Toriyama would have. A Broly retread? With -aparrently- the same shy, passive demeanor, making her truly a FemBroly? That's definitely something that screams Toyotaro to me. I'm still interested into see how the characters pans out, though.

Well they did spilt the design of the GoD. You could be right. But then again aren't those designs of her, Jiren, and the big lady from Toriyama?

But that visual makes no sense. She has one huge bang which suddenly splits into two short bangs in her SSJ hair and even has the triangular upward bangs that Cauilfra has. This is so strange that her SSJ literally turns into Cauilfras hair and her long bang disappears.

To be fair, Goku's actual SS hair is also strange considering his base form's hair.

Anyway I'm more interested into Caulifla that in Kale to be honest. Will she get regular SS? Or just have a really strong base?

Goku doesn't grow new bangs or have them suddenly cut short. Kales bang is longer than her face, the Broly bang splits in two and comes to her eyes just like Caulifra. That's what's so weird. It would be like Trunks and Gotens SSJ forms having the same look despite different hairstyles.

I think it was Toyotaro's idea to have a Saiyan girl similar to Broly (Kale)
Toyotaro has recently said in the future we will see his idea in the story, and he seemed like a Broly fanboy considering he included him in his AF manga.
