I guess dating Gohan had influenced her to be more feminine.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I'm just about done with the concept of reboots and making shows that were products of their time and impactful "new and sexy" and in line with modern tastes and sensibilities. Let stuff stay in their era and give today's kids their own shit to watch.
I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about
your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

10 hours left. O_O
Any last minute guesses on what ssjg will look like?
I'm thinking slightly more eyecatching version of that drawing on the office door.

MASSIVE MUSCLES, GOLDEN FUR EVERYWHERE, HUGE GOLDEN HAIR...
That's what my little brother hopes for. Yes, he likes Broli, and the AF Super Saiyan forms.
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.

It won't look anything like what we expect, I'm pretty confident of that.

SSJ 1 hair but pure white, and no pupils, and maybe a white tail but no fur is my hope for SSJG!

You know, it's nice to see they're pulling out some of Toriyama's original artwork for promotional stuff. Not that I'm tired of the new shiny artwork, but I think this gives us a nice mix of new and fresh artwork, with a side of nostalgia.
Oh, and even though this cardboard stand-up promo says 109MEN'S on it, I totally want it!
(Now to convince Julian to steal it for me, and then try to fit it on a plane the next time he comes back.)

Based on the somewhat blue-green energy we see briefly, I'm making a guess that maybe my old idea as a little kid of swapping the colors - bluish-green hair and aura with golden eyes - may be coming true. I'm not putting much emphasis on this guess though, as I really doubt it's that actually.

This, most likely, though. Either that, or that picture from the Toei door really is the form.

I really like seeing Toriyama's original artwork being used to promote the film but at the same time I wish we would see some new artwork from him.

I'd definitely be happy with the drawing on the office door. But at the same time I don't know what to expect with those silhouettes of Super Saiyan Goku and regular Goku in the advertisements. Come on Ultimate Goku looking transformation...

Someone go ask Watanabe if that Goku on Toei's door is the SSJ God, and then let's dissect his response.

I'm thinking, EVEN MORE HAIR. Imagine Radditz being super saiyan 3!
No what I'm really thinking is white hair with a blue aura. Or anything but blonde or black :p

I think the SSJG form will just be what we have already seen on Toeis door.
Damn I'm so excited now!

Toriyama said his work on the movie was done as if the story was a direct continuation of the manga publication, so I don't think the SSJ God design will rely much on new colors. It should be something that would look good and distinctive even in a black and white manga.

Well, seeing how the image on Toei's door/wall from the video was basically base Goku with red hair, and then the 3DS case has a silhouette of base Goku next to the word GOD...I'm going to assume it's probably just base Goku with red hair.

Was that case proven to be real or fake?

Was that ever confirmed to be a real thing and not just a fan-made skin though? You'd think a legit product for something like that would just have the form on there. Although, it could have been blacked out I suppose.
