Official On-Going DBZ 2015 Movie Thread: "Resurrection 'F'"

[Baggie_Saiyan]

Well we could rename Super Saiyan God to just Saiyan God and call this new form Super Saiyan God. That makes the most sense. Or call this Super Saiyan 2.0. I am just going to stick with Blue Super Saiyan until something is decided.

[FortuneSSJ]

I just had a random theory.
What if Goku's blue undershirt and Vegeta's blue attire were changed as hints that they would be getting a Blue SSJ form?

That may be the reason. Otherwise it would be too much blue.

That's probably what I'll do. Those "we" can't rename Super Saiyan God as....well, that's the official name of the original form.

I thought it was said that they discussed that they wanted SSj4 to look different from the gold SSJ line, and the entire concept of the long ditched tail element was reintroduced. Sounds like thought to me. With GT, Toei at least went back through the series to reintroduce ideas and connected established mithos (Filler or not) as opposed to Toriyama recycling cliches or pulling vague concepts out of no where, ignoring them or just refusing to dwell in any depth or symbolic elabouration out side of convience. You would think it should be the other way around.

Are you saying that there are enough establish Saiyan lore to justify pink fur and magical pants? I guess turning from a golden ape to a pink fur monkey with magical pants make sense.

[Chuquita]

But if not for the magical pants, they'd be fighting nude. :3

Why no one is trying to justify SSJ1-SSJ3 then? Or Blue SSJ? The color of Godly energy is blue (maybe) just because, for no specific reason. That's all.

[andr1y7]

I didn't really keep i with the thread to avoid spoilers as much as I can. I was wondering however, this blue Super Saiyan God, is it blue hair? Or just black hair with a blue aura?

Did you read his post? He says that Toei reintroduce ideas and the established mithos in the SSJ4 transformation. There's no established mithos that says the Saiyan has pink fur. At least, the Golden Great Ape at least has some thought put into it. SSJ1 - SSJ3 was the time when Toriyama was still establishing the mithos. SSJ God was a newly established transformation that was shown in the last movie. It does show that Goku went through the blue energy before turning red. Theis new movie further expand upon that by making them turn SSJ with that blue energy.

Blue=Hair,Eyebrows,Eyes,Aura.

But SSJ isn't based on anything. It is just kind of there. And no one tries to justify it. So what is the point of trying to justify one transformation, while not trying to justify all others?

SSJ God exactly just appeared kind out of nowhere, no justifying for why it looks like it looks. And even more for blue one.

[SingleFringe&Sparks]

But wasnt the blue aura just in the trailer? If they edited it out into red then that means the form's aura is intentionally red. The blue sparkles he gets when he transformed into it could have been left in unchecked (like Gohan still going SSJ in the ritual) or just irrelevant flash to the form. Godly energy was never officially applied as blue. Now it was just retconned to somehow say, "well the form you say ISNT the true form.." b.s.

I shouldn't have to keep readdressing this red herring over and over again.

Didn't Toriyama explain that the pointed hair and eyes were supposed to represent pure anger flowing up from the body into the top of the head; or hair pointing to the heavens or something like that? It was either him or it was on the DaoOfDragonball that said that but where ever that came from, SSJ has meaning. It was supported by Buddism and in the show it was preached to be the strongest form of Saiyan evolution, into basically a blind-brutal god of combat.

SSJG is a rehash of SSJ but altered in a way that would just fit Goku. It was made for his character, and not made to support anything else externally, thats why it had to be another "It came from Planet Vegeta..." camfire story.

[bleed0range]

My opinion is more that Goku absorbed the power of SSJ God but doesn't know how to use all the power he absorbed. He said himself he doesn't even know what he did. I think in the time between then and now he has discovered how to tap into and use a portion of the full power of SSJ God. His way of figuring it out requires him to go SSJ and it brings out some of that power he absorbed. Notice the transformation is blue for a split second? I think that's just the godly ki as it powers up and at full power it looks like red flame and blue sparkly aura as we saw in BOG. That's why SSJ makes him blue in ROF.

It seems like he has just figured a work around to use this power he has hidden inside him but he hasn't figured it out all he way yet. Makes the most sense to me.

Or that Akira Toriyama was bored and just went with the coolest color around lol.

Well, of course it's something like that these are just in-universe theories. But I mean I think I made a good point there and you kind of just discredited it with a joke post that added nothing to the discussion. It makes sense as a counter argument that if he turns blue for a split second then that's like the powering up of the form... So if you weren't able to power up all the way you'd be stuck encased in the blue ki. Goku seems to be doing that with this new form. It may be the only way to use the form without doing the ritual, but at the price of gaining full God power.

[Rukura]

If we were Japanese, we could call it "スーパーサイヤ神"

Next to the dumb "mystic" made-up titles, that's awesome. And I really appreciate that pun

That's probably what I'll do. Those "we" can't rename Super Saiyan God as....well, that's the official name of the original form.

Actually, in many interviews Toriyama tends to simply call it God. So being that the Saiyan is just the name of the race I think the Saiyan God is more accurate to use it because the first Saiyan to achieve this state it hasn't been proven to be a Super Saiyan too, and the source is not the same like in the case of Super Saiyan. I'd rather call it Saiyan God, God of Saiyans, Saiyan Deity or Godly powered Saiyan. The Super Saiyan tends to suggest that we are speaking about a Saiyan beyond his Base limits. And a Saiyan God it's like: beyond his natural limits which literally is the case. On the other hand, the Super Saiyan God/Godly Super Saiyan can be an existing thing as well as Goku and Vegeta are now using God Ki which can be tapped into a normal a Super Saiyan(I think the Blue form is just a result of training). I think about it like Super Saiyan + Saiyan God. So then if the Saiyan term is redundant in this case, the newest state of Goku and Vegeta is a Super Saiyan God/Godly Super Saiyan.

Blue=Hair,Eyebrows,Eyes,Aura.

I think it would have been cooler if the eyes stayed black and the hair kind of just had highlights of blue but was still mostly black with the mystical blue aura. Of course, I haven't seen the form for real yet either lol.

[JulieYBM]

Heath added the 'assistant animation supervisors' (sakuga kantoku hosa) to the credits on the website. Ide Takeo, Shimanuki Masahiro, Nashizawa Takashi, Tsuji Miyako, Hayashi Yuuki, and Watanabe Koudai. Oddly enough, while Yamamuro Tadayoshi is credited as the chief animation supervisor (sou-sakuga kantoku) those there are no regular animation supervisors (sakuga kantoku). I assume Hayashi and Watanabe were in charge of the action cuts given they are talented action animators.

Yeah, it was never stated in the movie (according to Kei and summary) or any of the interviews. It is just some theory which people use to explain why Goku's hair colour becomes blue while he transforms into SSJ/SSJ God/SSJ with godly energy, or whatever it is.

Didn't Toriyama explain that the pointed hair and eyes were supposed to represent pure anger flowing up from the body into the top of the head; or hair pointing to the heavens or something like that?

Never heard about it, but it was interesting to learn. I hope that it is indeed the case here, not Toriyama randomly coming up with it.

Actually, in many interviews Toriyama tends to simply call it God. So being that the Saiyan is just the mane of the race I think the Saiyan God is more accurate to use it because the first Saiyan to achieve this state it hasn't been proven to be a Super Saiyan too, and the source is not the same like in the case of Super Saiyan. I'd rather call it Saiyan God, God of Saiyans, Saiyan Deity or Godly powered Saiyan. The Super Saiyan tends to suggest that we are speaking about a Saiyan beyond his Base limits.

The magenta form is officially called "Super Saiyan God", both in the film and by Toriyama himself. The reason I came up with the name "Godly Super Saiyan" was to differentiate it from the real SSJG by emphasizing that this is the first Super Saiyan form armed with the power/ki of Super Saiyan God as opposed to a brand new transformation. It certainly doesn't appear to be the "next level" of the red form in BoG (and to be honest, I don't think there is such a thing).

highlights of blue would look freaking sick on them!!! likewise mate. I cant wait to see it in 3D!!! the hype is still alive within me.
