SSJ3 looked really dumb. SSJ2 is my favourite form and Toriyama forgot it existed -__-

I mean, Goten may be a child, but he's also a Super Saiyan capable of flight. He prooobably should have been capable of saving himself by just holding the steering wheel and floating after he rode over the cliff (even if he had to transform to do it, I don't know how physically powerful his kid body is).
We see him fly directly after it, so I think Goku just saved the tractor really... even if he destroys it later.

SSJ2 only really looked cool on Kid Gohan. You really couldn't notice any major difference, apart from the lightning aura, on any other Saiyan when they were using the form.

SSJ3 when Goku first bust it out looked just as cool if not cooler than SSJ2 Kid Gohan.

Goku looked the best for SSJ2. Like an utter badass. Awesome. Vegeta is the worse for SSJ though. Everything the same.

I wish Goku's SSJ2 hair became his default SSJ hair. Not like they use/mention SSJ2 at all anymore... :(
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

Goku's hair looks different as a SSJ2. And the lightning aura is awesome.

I always liked SSJ 3 on Gotenks.

I prefer the look of SSj2 over Ssj3 x10 times over. Ssj3 might be my least favorite form.

Ugh... then everyone starts to get it on Heroes. stahp

Gotenks? I think it fits him. That's it.

I always thought SSJ3 was pretty cool. As for 2...well, the sidelining of it wasn't helped by Toei sometimes not understanding what it was supposed to look like...

In any case, SSJ2 did get a named mention/demonstration in BoG at least.

what part? the beginning where goku goes ssj 1, ssj 2, then ssj 3? the part where hes going "I can turn it down to ssj 2 if you want?" to only get his butt kicked?

kinda sad the epic ssj 2 was reduced to pretty much nothing... :cry:

Oh yeah, it didn't exactly get shown off, but it shows the writers didn't just completely sweep its existence over the rug.

This image is (almost) perfect! Those vibes, the dark tone, this is the Dragon Ball side that I love the most. 8)
Its not perfect because there's a 9-star DB righ there...

Since I was a kid I knew this would happen eventually. But having a fail like this in the promo art is embarassing.
May be intentional but I doubt.

-About the 100 episodes-

Well its great. I was expecting GT lenght or 100 episode at max. Even if the number is just a placeholder, seems like they are aiming for something long.
People that were saying that the series would only have 26 episodes first, because that's the normal thing and Dragon Ball is no different from the others. Well guess what?! Dragon Ball is indeed special. But that's not even a opinion anymore, just a fact.

As long as Toriyama is motivated again who's gonna say for him to stop?! Definitely not Toei.

A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

It got better screen time then 3 did.

It was used by Gohan to defeat a main villain.
It was used by Goku&Vegeta in their rematch.
It was used by Vegeta during his sacrifice.
It was used by Vegeta when he attacked Beerus.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Could in fact be SSGSS 2? Just look at the hair...

That figure has already been revealed. It's battle damaged Goku from the Freeza battle.
