Yep, absolutely. It looks like
Honestly, some people feel the need to be so hyper-dramatic.
Yeah, like we finally get a transformation that changes the physical appearance of the user instead of an aura or hair recoloring, and the first thing people do is shit on it.

Just came back from a looooong break from all this because I’m really really not enjoying Super and wanted to keep my distance, but this new Vegeta form rumor is spreading across the internet so I got pulled back into it. Vegeta being my all time favorite anime character makes this hard to ignore.. so if you’re running some kind of unofficial poll then just on first reactions to the limited info we have which may or may not be true, you can put me down as an “I hate it”.

Maybe it could change with more context and art but there you go. From the little we have so far, not a fan.

Also just for fun:

Like yeah you're right this is the first Transformation in Dragon Ball Super that changes more than just a hair color. I like Vegeta going back to a more Primal Saiyan State. Perhaps this is a lead into a potential Super Saiyan 4 type thing as he goes more and more into a primal saiyan state.

Well, we didn't need yet another transformation but if it's not fake then I'm still disliking it because it looks terrible. I'm not going to like something just because it's different. Different doesn't equal good.

Never liked the look of ssj3 (lack of eyebrows) so ofc vegeta get a new eyebrowless form.....

Maybe it'll grow on me if it comes with a distinct fighting style and isn't just a simple power boost but I'm not not optimistic about that

If that's not fake, not making any assumptions, it's going right to the bottom as the worst-looking saiyan-related transformation in my book. Because that just looks bad. The features don't fit together well at all, and I already didn't think SS3 eyebrows looked good to start with.

If this is real, I don't think I like it. SS3 is one if my favorite forms, but those brows don't look right to me without the long hair. Maybe it will grow on me.

To this day I don't know how anyone can like a form that removes your eyebrows and makes you look like an actual caveman.
At his core Zamasu is good like Shin, though I guess you could say he was so fastidious that it backfired. But you know, for this "Future Trunks Arc" you had to depict Zamasu and Trunks' inner conflict, right? If this was back when I was drawing the manga myself then I doubt if I could have done it. I mean, I'm not very good at depicting the characters' psychology on the page. So this all came together because now I only have to think up the story. [...] On my own, I doubt I would have been able to express Zamasu's fall to the dark side.

The most suspicious aspect for me is that a major spoiler would appear on this thread before anywhere else on the internet. That'd be a first LOL.

I think it was meant to make them look like the great ape since they have no eye brows. Originally it was even going to have a tail but Toriyama scrapped that part.

Toriyama and Toyotarou ran out of colours for poor old Vegeta so they had to take away his eyebrows, my boy got a bootleg SSJ3 look going on.

So "ningen culture" is that they're cavemen?

Okay then :lol:

Well a "caveman" is the intermediate between an ape and a human, and the eyebrowlessness is supposed to represent a primal simian appearance.

Yes but a God form shouldn't make you look like a caveman, because the Gods (of Destruction) are not cavemen. This isn't supposed to be a Saiyan form. It's supposed to be a Divine form he attained after training with Beerus God of Destruction.

I knew this would be devisive. I much prefer it than anothe color or longer hair and it looks better than 90% of that fan made shit and Toppo's incredibly basic and boring looking form.

At least this form visually distinguishes itself. In the Manga its hard to tell what forms the characters are in for some people. This basically makes that I'm possible as you will know when Vegeta is in this form No matter what.

But of course nothing can become Cannon in Dragon Ball Without Pushback so what do you I really expect.

Based on what Beerus said in chapter 69 this absolutley is a Saiyan Form
