Those shirts look really lazily deigned. I can't believe they actually went with "Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan" for the name of the form on the shirt. It's such a fucking mouthful. They should have just went with Super Saiyan Blue.

SSGSS (both full and abbreviated) is still used on all merchandise "Blue" isn't used at all thankfully, it makes sense it was what was used for the promotion of Resurrection "F" so they couldn't really change it up, the anime was different as SSGSS was never said once at all.
I do agree these don't look too great.

Vegeta is not losing to Brianne. He is not. Will not lose to her.

VEGETA WILL BE THE LAST MAN STANDING. EVERYBODY ELSE OUTSIDE OF GOKU, FREEZA, 17, AND MAYBE GOHAN ARE ALL TRASH

ALL SCRUBS RIDING THE BENCH.

Tien will have his third eye smashed silly, Roshi will be thrown porn magazines and he will chase them outside the ring, and Piccolo will job so hard nail and the old wriggly namek will want to unfuse with him.

I so wonder if something like "Angelic Ki" exists..? A higher level of Ki above God Ki and perhaps eventually leading something like "Angelic Super Saiyan" existing. The Angels seems to be in a different league to the gods too.

Why do you seem so angry? Who are you yelling at?

Its very unlikely Vegeta wins it all but possible I suppose.

I don't see Vegeta winning it at all tbh and I don't mind that either. I honestly see Goku, and possibly Gohan and Freeza outlasting him. I don't see Vegeta going out early though. Vegeta is probably going as far as to fight Jiren at some point and get stomped by him.

Same with hit and Freeza just here to job to jiren it's really obvious and that's actually debatable since he's the second strongest in the team I mean literally him and goku solo a whole universe

This is Dragon Ball. If Vegeta losing to Brianne is going to hype up Goku then he will lose to Brianne. Which is exactly why he's not losing to Brianne in the first place. He's going to lose to Jiren in an effort to hype up the main villain of the arc so when Goku and Freeza get around to him he seems all the more impressive in comparison.

Maybe. This is of course they don't plan to have someone else (for example Freeza for instance) get stomped by Jiren to hype him up.

A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Considering that Dragon Ball Heroes shows us the three finale fighters of the ToP, I doubt that Freeza's being eliminated before Vegeta is or getting stomped by Jiren. Most likely scenario considering the theme of team work they've been pushing the entire ToP is that both Goku and Freeza team up to beat Jiren. Of course, both Freeza and Vegeta could be stomped by Jiren to showcase his overwhelming power. :)

Vegeta needs to have a really decent moment in the Tournament.

To lose to Brianne without doing anything relevant (he defeated U9, but that's not even close to its importance for the series) would totally rule out the character.
He does not have to be defeated for other characters to stand out.

If he defeats Toppo or Hitto it's already good

Nope. God ki has nothing to do with the power of SSG/SSGSS, the Saiyans just have god ki in these forms. SS Goku with SSG power back in BoG arc was as strong as SSG, yet he didn't have god ki. Neither does it do anything special for the Hakaishin, they are just really strong guys who later became Hakaishin. You didn't see Dende becoming strong enough to one-shot Super Vegetto back in Cell arc because he got god ki by becoming the Kami of Earth (and yes, he does have god ki because he could sense Beerus' ki).

The angels also don't seem to be that far from the Hakaishin, or at least in Universes 6 & 7. Toriyama had Whis & Beerus at 15 & 10 respectively, while Vados & Champa rival Whis & Beerus respectively, and so far this doesn't appear to have changed in the series.

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.

Frieza's got his own subplot of underhandedly fucking over universe 7, teaming up with Frost and playing the gods against one another. Bringing him to get stomped to show how cool Jiren(and Goku by extension when he defeats him) is a pretty big waste of set up.

That's not to say he won't be stomped by Jiren though, because Super's absolutely perfected the art of creating character arcs that don't lead anywhere. In a better written narrative, Frieza's goals would prevent him from getting bitched prior to achieving them. Time will tell though.
