Is anyone else not a fan of the SS3 Vegeta design?

I don't mind the design at all

I understand that some people got used to seeing Vegeta with the classic SSJ3 hair in fanart or Raging Blast, so it can feel like a bit of a shock/betrayal, but I like that he has his own hair design

If you think about it, every transformation looks different on every character. SSJ1 looks different on Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Trunks.
SSJ2 looks different on Gohan, Goku, Vegeta, and SSJ3 looks similar between Goku and Gotenks but technically isn't the exact same (no bang lol) so I don't mind Vegeta having his own design

I don't get why some see it as ridiculous though: hair in Dragon Ball is ridiculous by default, most of the hairstyles are not realistic, especially Saiyan's, so I fail to see how Vegeta's SSJ3 hair is any more ridiculous than any other hairstyle in the story, especially Goku's SSJ3 hair

I happen to like it. The fanart SS3 Vegeta with long hair made him look ever shorter, while Ultra Vegeta 1 seems taller to me.

I just wish they'd retire his saiyan armor.

I like how SSJ3 Vegeta looks in Dragon Ball Daima, he is different than I expected but different isn't always a bad thing.

Yeah, I agree, which is why I do like SSJ4, unlike SSJ3. If you think about this symbolism, it's pretty much also what they did with UI, something that is supposed to be developed since the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai arc, when Goku started to train with his first master Kame Sennin.

My point is more about people only liking the transformation because they look cool and nothing more, which is why I said that SSJ3 is responsible for that. SSJ4 despite having unique concepts behind it, let's be honest, if it wasn't for the crazy design, a lot of people just wouldn't care about it, it's what happens with the DBS / God forms, people criticize them for not having drastic design changes, when being simple visually was always their intent, and they call them lazy for that when they have very interesting concepts behind them that actually adds more to the writing than anything SSJ3 ever delivered.
Then a lot of fans brought that mentality to SSJ4, as a result, you can see how 90% of the pre-BoG fan-made transformations are pretty much all about taking the SSJ4 design, adding more hair, change the color, adding more muscles, adding horns or more details + stronger than predecessor.

Of course, I'm not generalizing, there are a lot of fans who try to look beyond than just the form's cool design and its strength, I particularly saw some theorizing it's the conventional transformation that is more linked to the supernatural and that's one of the reasons it's not golden for example, which only makes it more interesting imo, it's would make it a middle ground between the Regular SSJs and the God Forms.

But there's the other side that only really cares about design and strength. I'm glad Super goes against that mentality, its arcs constantly tries to tell us that new transformations just aren't about getting stronger.

SSJ4 has some other special feats to it as well, such as the “ultra full power” version, or limit break from Heroes, which are cool too. I only personally prefer the God forms because the concepts are more interesting for my liking and because I prefer simpler design changes. But in the end, I think all of them are a lot better than SSJ3.

If you think about it, every transformation looks different on every character. SSJ1 looks different on Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Trunks.
SSJ2 looks different on Gohan, Goku, Vegeta, and SSJ3 looks similar between Goku and Gotenks but technically isn't the exact same (no bang lol) so I don't mind Vegeta having his own design

I don't mind too but I guess people only think of the SSJ3 design being the same for everyone because Gotenks already doesn't have a bang in his Base / SSJ forms lol.
