It startled me a bit when their official colour scheme was the complete opposite of what I had assumed, being soft-turquoise with purple hair. Maybe there was a fan colouring that gave me this impression. Maybe I subconsciously associated the name Heeter's with the word heat, which is usually orangey-red. Don't know. Anyone else?

Well, the fire of a stove is blue...maybe that has something to do with it

You're not alone, somehow, I asumed that they have red hair as well :lol:

They reminded me of Bojack and his mooks, so I was right.

You saw Batman v Superman? Is it the Ultimate Edition? No? Then you haven't seen Batman v Superman. Also, the Snyder Cut is the greatest, non-deconstructionist ensemble comic book film ever made.

At least they don’t have orange hair. It might have fit the “heat” theme, but it would have made them look like rip offs

Something like these colours I've found, so for the skin (maybe paler):

And for the hair, not bright red. Something more like this (maybe even darker):

With this as secondary colour highlight,

Hair reminiscent of Saiyan Saga Vegeta:

Same. I'm 99.9% sure that was the inspiration. Just look at the similarity of the designs, especially the clothes.
Big fan of the characters of Dragon Ball, all of them, especially formerly prominent sub-characters. -__-

Of course the girl has the most vivid hair color of the three, how Smurfette-ish

What do you guys think of the new pages that leaked? It looks like Vegeta gave his new technique a name, but there's a lot of debate on how it should be translated. I love how savage they're making Vegeta in this new form, I hope he finally gets a win.

No idea how Viz is gonna translate this (beware of spoilers in link), but if they're consistent...

...But the official translation comes out in just two days anyway, so we'll see what they go with then.
I still don't like the form a whole lot.

It will still feel weird to remove the ''instinct'' part of the English name when Vegeta's last line of dialogue in the last chapter is about how this form is moved solely by instinct. Just like Ultra Instinct that's the whole deal about this technique (even though there are differences between the meanings of the two techniques in Japanese). Anyway it seems unlikely that they will be able to portray the subtlety of the meaning of the original version in the English translation

I wish they did "Fudoshin no Gokui" since it's Buddhist-Daoist enlightenment stuff, like Mushin no shen.
Fudōshin is a state of equanimity or imperturbability. It is a philosophical or mental dimension to Japanese martial arts which contributes to the effectiveness of the advanced practitioner.

Could they translate it as ultra willpower, or maybe ultra pride? I don't know Japanese, but it seems like it would fit.

I like Will. It works with both Vegeta's personality and the duality with Instinct.

If I had to guess, Goku & Vegeta are probably going to lose because of a lack of focus & priority. Goku may have Perfected UI but he still holds back and wastes opportunity instead of finishing the job because he still has such a laid-back, complacent attitude. Vegeta has got the Hakaishin thing going for him but he'll get lost in fighting the battle so much that he'll forget about doing what he needs to for the sake of his own pleasure in humiliating his opponent. Granolah found a way with Goku and likely will find a way with Vegeta by taking advantage of their core faults that Whis laid out.
...but maybe I'm wrong, hopefully.

I really hope Vegeta doesn't lose to Granolah after having the upper hand, it would be so boring, the same thing happens to him almost every time. While I'm not expecting Granolah to be killed, I want Vegeta to at least get to the point where he is about to finish Granolah off but is interrupted by a bigger problem.
