Yes I absolutely hate the god forms as do many other people. What's there to like about a recoloured version of SSJ? Judging by your avatar you probably like it so you'll come up with a load of bullshit excuses on why SSB is a great and creative form.
Its blue.

I like blue.

The end.
People like you are what's wrong with the current fandom.

Toriyama could make the next transformation another recolour like purple and we'll still have idiotic fanboys saying it looks good and how it makes sense since Toriyama is a simple writer.
Chill dude. If you're angry that's fine, but you don't need to be putting down others. It's doesn't make your points any stronger.

The last few pages are why the episode threads are not available until later. To stop all the knee jerk reactions, but it looks like they just moved here.

There's been nothing saying she has had no training.
Her transformation is no more bullshit that Goku suddenly curb stomping Freeza because of Super Saiyan.

She is hated for banal and hypocritical motives, as well as being accustomed to a transformation (SSJ4) that was never created by Toriyama.

She is hated by several people, but she has her due importance and TOEI simply ignores.
You do not like it, it's just your opinion.
And yet that transformation (SSJ4) is the most creative saiyan transformation in the series compared to hair changes and recolours.

Creative? An extravagant and bizarre transformation that completely changes the concept of Super Saiyan? Do all Saiyan transformations have to completely change the appearance?

SSJ, SSJ2 and SSJ3, all of them were transformations that had no significant change. You only get stuck hair or lightning, but why do you all like it? Hypocrisy

Just asking for funzzies, is it super because you are Caulifa fan??

I love it when people get on their high horse about people who "freak out over power levels lololol"

I didn't realize there were so many people in this fan base who were okay with mediocre story telling and consistency :problem:

The gap between Goku and Frieza as opposed to Kale and Goku, it's no comparison. Is pretty obvious which one was a straight pull out of their butts.

To be honest I really view those 2 saiyans as fantasy characters for fans and the producers.
Kale is for the Toei staff waifu and Cauli is for the fans (saiyan waifus if you may, next thing you know dakimakura's will be popping out) I just hope they go away after this arc, at first I was interested but now...

Why does not it give due value to the transformation as at certain moments?

At least in the manga, it is an extremely powerful transformation. It seems that TOEi simply does not think about it. Now let's face Hate about this transformation, which is going to be called '' weak '' by a lot of people
Blue is just the most recent in a long laundry list of transformations. The fandom puts it on a pedestal but the writers never did. If Frieza had trained his ki consumption in RoF, Goku and Vegeta would have lost in a straight fight. Even SSG fought a losing battle in its debut.
It is a transformation that surpasses the power of the Super Saiyan God (the one who rivaled Hakaishin Beerus). Of course she has to be great.

And at times she really is great, but TOEI sometimes seems to just not care about her.

It is a transformation of great weight, a divine form.

Eh, I'm still waiting for Goku to get to the point where he doesn't need "transformations" and stays in his base.

While not perfect, in universe Goku faced gods so he needed god ki, then said god ki made his hair blue when accessing it, OK simple.

GT logic, he just needed more power so they took pliers to his ass and eventually, we got a new toy to sell. Personally I think the design is ugly, I hate GT for the most part.

Commonsense tells you she doesn't train, she has no type of fighting ability outside her transformation. You're grasping for the clouds here. Especially with saying Goku's transformation is Bullshit, especially since it was hyped the whole Namek arc. It's honestly baffling, how some people protect Super.

I'm unsure what attitude you think I have but I am genuinely lost here. From my point of view you replied to me with "Say what???" which doesn't tell me anything, what you think, or what it's supposed to mean, so I asked. Maybe not in a very straight forward way, but I had assumed you would expand a little bit so that I may understand better.

Is that not the entire point of these forums? To talk?

Yes, people like me who likes what he likes and dislikes what he likes and will respect other opinions, though I will debate.

Sorry, we can't be like you who wants everyone to agree on the same thing and will attack others if they don't, you know what people think dragon ball fans are like.

By the way, I love purple more than blue.

Good point too, Kaioken x20 was already half of Frieza's Power, SSJ should have obviously put him over Frieza.

Nothing says she hasn't trained, you're grasping.
The point of the form was that nobody knew about it, of course it wasn't built up in universe. It's a "New" form, you can't arbitrarily decide out powerful it should be.
