It is a rumor.
Phew, I think that's the first I'd heard completely dispelling that rumor. I'm glad to know that wasn't it, because...really? Blonde hair, green eyes, super strength - that's a Super Saiyan. I can't imagine why it'd be any different for a female than it would be for a male.

I think a female SSJ should be twice as violent seems all women in the show have short tempers. :lol:

I could buy that, since like you said, Dragon Ball women seem to have a shared temperament. It'd make what Gohan did to those Cell Juniors look sweet and cuddly. :lol:

It just make me wonder what Toriyama really said if it was just a fandom rumor. If Female saiyan's can't go Super Saiyan I might as well drop Super Saiyan 4 Pan and Bulla.

I'm pretty sure it's never been said that females can't go Super Saiyan. In fact, if we take the Perfect Guides into account, they say that Pan and Bra do have the potential to become Super Saiyans.

Well, female Super "Saiyans" do finally make an appearance in DBO, but we don't know for 100% sure that Toriyama specifically designed them, do we? It's very likely, at least, since as far as I know, character design is usually one of his biggest ways of participating in these games.

Actually if you read about dragon ball online it states that Toriyama have been making the character designs himself,. Dragon ball online is the online dbz game Toriyama actually affiliated with..

Series creator Akira Toriyama has a great deal of creative control over the project, both contributing to and supervising the story and art design, including character and location arrangements. [5] It has been stated that Toriyama has worked on character designs for this project for over five years.

I somehow think that both male and female SS (and likely base form) hairstyles were designed by AT. We've seen how different (and often not so much) the SS hairstyles could be in the original series, so I don't think the character designers would be brave enough to invent something like that themselves, or without consulting with AT first, at least. Designing armor and other things is quite different, if you ask me.

The fact that he did character designs for the game isn't technically proof that he definitely designed the female Super Saiyans himself (he may have just supervised and signed off on those designs for all we know)...but I think it's pretty likely.

Hehe thats possible, but he stated himself, that he was working on the characters design 5 years before 2008, so its obvious that he design the characters. If you look time petrol trunks he look just like he do from the manga except with different clothes. Specifically trunks hair..

What I mean is, we don't know how many of the designs he did himself. We know that he worked on at least some of the designs, but we don't know if he did all of them, or most of them, or just some of them, or what.

Technically it doesn't say that he work on "some of the designs".. it just says that he work on the character designs 5 years before the game came out. Knowing 5 yrs prior to the games debut that they was going to have female players and fans who wanted female fighters, I know for a fact that the female super saiyan was one of his designs.

Nothing explicitly says that he worked on all of the designs. Thus, it does not necessarily follow that he worked on all of the designs.

If I said, "I worked on broken computers at work today," that doesn't necessarily mean I worked on all of the broken computers at my workplace. It's a vague statement. There's not enough information for me to think of that as a fact, personally.

Well we just know that he is the character designer for the game,. Because this our only source we have until otherwise. So we that source we can say that he mostly design the female super saiyan model, not necessarily every custom items like clothing, but there hair, when they power up.. he has big creativity in the development of the game. And knowing that he is the creator of the series, they most likely picked him to design the female super saiyan.

That's all speculation. That's not enough for me to call it a fact. Like I said, I think it's likely, but that's just an opinion.
