Being honest, I agree. Awful design. Doesn't suit him at all. Give God to Goten and he will look better. Or at least have Trunks with slightly more spiked hair. It is a big difference to see red hair on someone who has purple/blue ones.

Speak for yourself, SSG XTrunks is easily one of the best-looking designs out of the entire DB franchise, from clothes to hair. Especially compared to his DBS chump counterpart.

the ritual requires 5 Saiyan, nowhere was stated they were to be Super Saiyan
Doesn't this create a massive plot hole? Many Saiyans knew of the legend before they went extinct. Many would have tried. Of course Saiyans weren't that pure of heart, but damn isn't that a very general audience. Everyone could have gone Super Saiyan God. If Freeza and Cold posed a threat they could simply select the strongest Saiyan and make him a Super Saiyan God.

Even the failed ritual produced a warrior stronger than anything our heroes knew. Failed ritual SSJ Goku could be above Super Vegito. Pretty much he was like God's Crimson Radiance, but before experiencing SSJG.
the whole point was finding 5 pure hearted Saiyans.
Saiyans were, generally speaking, dicks. Gentler saiyans would likely die young and fast.
And Pure Evil Saiyans wouldn't collaborate.

While the SSGod legend might have been somehow common knowledge, Shenron referring to the Namekkian Book of Legends suggests the ritual itself wasn't known.

Last, we don't know if Goku would have kept the power from the failed Ritual(Goku turns normal on the spot once they stop channelling power), nor if even a failed ritual would have worked without pure heart Saiyans

Whilst I'm also confused about not SSJ4 Trunks, I fucking LOVE SSG Trunks, and hope this means he will achieve SSB soon, which surely should be natural progression.

I wonder if they were a little stuck on design ideas on how they'd execute a SSJ4 form?

IMHO it's a combination of them not finding a convincing enough SS4 design for Trunks and wanting to throw a curve ball subverting the expectation of the public

Personally i think SSG Trunks looks really cool and i'm one of those fans who trashed SSG when it first came out in the movie because after they hyped SSG so much to at the end be just a hair and aura palette swap, felt really lazy and uninspired, this days though i have warmed up to it so i don't mind, however SS4 still by far my favourite form is way superior for me even if the game implies SSB is just a tad stronger.

Now i really REALLY wanted to see a SS4 Trunks so i can't say i'm not disappointed, if anything i'm worried now that since they decided to latch the God form to Xeno Trunks which means the natural progression is for eventually go to SSB and then why would he bother with SS4 anymore when he already has a superior form that he doesn't need any weird trick like Blutz waves to access, is like another Vegeta/Gohan skipping SS3 for a stronger form situation, moreover than that can he even transform into SS4 if he used blutz waves??? he wasn't born with a tail so maybe the game devs want to stick with that headcanon even though a SS4 Trunks card would easily become of the top 10 most popular and valuable cards in the game is it came to be.

Really and truly, after Xeno V4 I think they can get away with almost anything. V4 set the design standard/fashion bar quite low imo.

By comparison, SSG XTrunks is a breath of fresh air. Those tight soldier clothes give me vibes of his Android arc look without the jacket, which was the best.

I'm in the same camp that I trashed SSG when it first came out cause of the lazy ass palette swap design, but then gained a whole new appreciation for its unique features after the debut of SSB (literal blue color palette swap of SS; red and yellow does not mix to make blue in any way) and more so after the debut of UI (white hair grandpa Goku just does not look good at all).

The design point is a bit strange, because on one hand, it makes sense that they'd struggle with it, the fandom has been messing with it for years (how to do the hairstyle, how to implement Trunks' hair colour since it would the first non-blackhaired SS4), but on the other hand, it really wouldn't be too difficult to just try something (or in the case of long-haired Trunks, just steal SS4 Broly's hairstyle) and tweak it until it looks good.
In short, it's hard but also not hard. :crazy:

with V4 you mean Vegetto???? i though it looked pretty cool, the only grip for me was the hair that should have been red like Gogeta's imo.

V4 is what was shown at the end of the first CGI teaser debuting SS4 XVegetto (basically last year's new transformed character announcement). So V4 has sort of stuck around this forum as an easy way of typing out SS4 (Xeno) Vegetto.

To each their own but something about V4's design just rubs me the wrong way. It's partly the hair and partly the clothes. The hair looks bad. The clothes look weird.

Amusingly, V4's design has been uniformly praised on most sites I know. Some even call him the only SSJ4 design that looks cool.


I don't really care about SSG and SSB, to be honest, ultimately they're simply recolors. And to be honest I'm kind of sore about the concept making its way to the Time Patrol side of the plotline, I was perfectly happy with having Super concepts (from which I'm not really a fan) and GT derived ones co-existing but not mixing. Now that separation is no longer there and I fear that GT concepts will get the short end of the stick because the hot thing is Super.

Well, Xeno Trunks is the only Time Patroller who doesn't come from Dragon Ball GT, nor is he bound by or remotely connected in its rules (which may explain why he got Super Saiyan God instead of Super Saiyan 4). So the separation is still there until Dimps decides to give the Super Saiyan God transformation to another Time Patroller.

Oh, that's how they called this "form" of Goku. I just call this form "Godly Super Saiyan".

Bardock xeno also doesn’t come from a GT esq timeline, his timeline is literally a mix of BTFOG/DBminus.

heroes kinda points to GT being as hot as super. GT concepts have been very popular in heroes, and the merchandise is very good too. if anything, people seem to want thinks like ssj4.

Since XBardock and XKing Vegeta are returning soon, I thought it would be a good time to recap where they were the last time we saw them:

Funny you say that because i remember whenever they showed those trailers with like Gohan or Vegetto SS4 for the first time and you could hear the reaction of the audience that was there at the moment right at the end they would all clap like they were excited yet maybe it's just me but this time when SSG Trunks showed and then at the end people were all quiet and you could hear some mild chatting like they were confused and expected something else entirely or at least that's what i got from what i watched.

Don't doubt it I think everyone since the mid 90's and all throughout the 2000s wondered what a SS4 Trunks would look like and to see them do this is just messed up unless the SSG power runs out like it did for Goku in BoG I don't see any other way they can make Time Patrol Trunks need SS4

Just imagine SS4 Gohan & Trunks Fusing into SS4 Gohanks (their power and potential since they're hybrids would be unstoppable they'd probably be stronger than Gogeta SS4)
