You know, looking at the third image of SSG from the scans, it may be his base hair shape, but it's not his base hair. His forehead spikes actually stick out like they do in Super Saiyan...

Toriyama forgot what SSJ2 and SSJ3 were and he was assuming that SSJ2 was something with long hair while he was making a sketch.

B--Beers facial expression character sheet.
OMG so many hilarious kitty faces.
Also mini-mystery of that white shirt from the first trailer is solved; it's his night-shirt. His now-in-tatters 39 year old night-shirt.

I wonder if that's why Goku is battling Beers partly as an SSJ1 in the trailers. It always threw me off that Beers was able to push aside SSJ3 Goku with one finger like he was nothing but SSJ1 Goku was putting up a more decent fight against Bills in space. I don't really get that

And here I was thinking he'd become a Hobo in those pictures.

Quick, someone get the "What the fuck is a Gohan?" image and write Super Saiyan 2 over Gohan xD It'll actually be true!

So Vegeta has no chance of becoming SSJ3 because his creator can't remember what it is... No Seriously?

Végéta can't to become a SSJ3 but apparently surpasses the Goku's SSJ3 power in SSJ (or SSJ2 ?) in the movie...

I'm still trying to digest that hair-color (and how badly it clashes with the colors of his gi). My mental-image of purple-red before seeing the actual screenshot was so far off the mark I'm shocked.
The flame aura hides it when it's activated, but there's no way that Goku's hair on page 32 isn't a semi-washed-out pink.
I'm more in awe than anything else; I feel like my reaction to this power-up would've been drastically different if you'd asked me across multiple years in the past. Right now, I'm just stunned.
(LOL, happy birthday, me; here's Goku with pink hair.)
What a strange day.

My bigger problem with the transformation, (even more so then the pink hair clashing with the gi)

Remains the way he gets the power-up, Super Saiyans holding hands with a fetus!

SSJG would look much cooler if it wasn't base Goku's hair but rather the upright SSJ/Base hybrid style like on the Toei poster and that first image.

Could someone possibly tell me what issue that's going to be? Like the month posted on it or the issue number.
I love you love Mashirito.

I like that one picture of Goku where it looks like his whole hair is red. Looks really good. Must look really good in motion.

Re: ssjg Goku's appearance
*Recalls the line from months (feels like years ago) about the "common sense of Z" being "violated".*
Yup; this definitely fits the bill. XD
I wonder if he's got control over that fire; like, is it just an aura, or does ssjg give him fire-element special powers?
Or maybe it's just a pretty effect.

So Akira Toriyama doesn't know what Super Saiyan 2 and 3 looks like now. Did he forget that Goku said "Super Saiyan 2 I guess"?
