"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[sintzu]

I can already imagine what happened.

Toei Executive: "This arc is really amazing Toriyama-sensei but doesn't Black transform?"
Mr.Toriyama: "No."
Toei Executive: "I think he should really have one, the kids would love it."
Mr.Toriyama: "He doesn't need one."
Toei Executive: "But Goku has transformations..."
Mr.Toriyama: "OK, he transforms into SSJ Pink."
Toei Executive: "Please anything but that. There's so many colors..."
Mr.Toriyama: " It's pink and this conversation it's over. One more word and I'll turn him into a magical girl!"
Toei Executive: "Thank you very much for you work, sensei."

I'll be more than happy with it if it was done to stick it to Toei and Bandai.

I might be late to the party but those are shikishi, colored papers. Those are the second set and SSGSS Vegeeta, Broli and Gogeta were supposed to be included in the first set but weren't, so they included them now.

Goku Pink seems to be the same color as Whis' enery... maybe a God thing.

Whis' energy is two shades darker than Black's SSJ hair/energy. In fact I think Whis' color is a variation of magenta.

I might be in the minorities but I don't want Black to have a transformation he's not even a Saiyan.

Neither did I, but I showered on it, and now I'm very excited for this. Hopefully it won't show up in only his last episode.

People only expected white because of the interview though

Yes, and Toriyama flips the table on those people.

I doubt he had those people in mind when he designed this. The interview was released in April right? I think he has this planned out before.

[FortuneSSJ]

I was also expecting white, so the pink caught me off guard. You can never drop your guard with Toriyama. Mixed feelings.
A storm is coming.

[Sandubadear]

I'm sure Goku Pink is legit. SSGSS was leaked by a pic that showed some SSGSS Goku and Vegeta toys.

Toriyama doesn't plan ahead.

[Noah]

Seriously though, how could they let something like this leak out? If it is legit.

It seems to be. It popped up on Amazon Japan.

I wonder why they didn't go for white, though I guess it suits him.

I'm asking that for myself right now, white-haired SSJ Black would be top-notch! I hope is some blood red in the anime, not that tone of pink.

[FortuneSSJ]

Toei: Fans are wishing for Goku Black to have a white SSJ transformation, Toriyama-sensei.
Toriyama: I see. Make it pink then.
Toei:...

This Man is unbelievable.

[Grimlock]

There are certain points Toriyama should really flip the table and do the opposite of what he previously said, this is not one of them... Hope this pink thing keeps in a mere sticker.

[shadowmaria]

Tickle me pink, I love it

[Noah]

You have to give Toriyama credit, he still knows how to surprise us.

Surprise doesn't mean throw silly things at us.

[nite_jay]

I honestly think Black doesn't look too bad. The dull black and grey colors go nicely with the light pink and red imo. Honestly, I would rather have this than just bigger muscles or something like that.

[Anime Kitten]

Don't you just love it when the fans get proven wrong? (SSJ White)

[Shin]

Surprise doesn't mean throw silly things at us.

Silliness in Dragon Ball? That's something new.

[Geekdom101]

I love it! Pink and Black always looks good together!

[Nejishiki]

I'll have to see it drawn by Toriyama or view it in the series proper to get a proper assessment of how it looks. Mentally configuring it, it looks pretty nice, but that doesn't always translate to reality how it will be colored.

[FortuneSSJ]

Don't you just love it when the fans get proven wrong? (SSJ White)

Fans are failing to predict Toriyama since he come back.

BOG: Goku lost against Beerus twice.
ROF: Vegeta didn't kill Freeza. Freeza killed Vegeta again.
Champa's tournament: Goku gave up. Monaka one punched Hit.
FT Trunks arc: Blue hair FT Trunks is a thing, not purple. Pink hair Goku Black is also a thing, not white.

It's cool he will always surprise us, but doesn't mean his decisions are always the best. I would change ROF and FT Trunks arc scenarios.

[Hellspawn28]

Maybe Goku will have a new outfit and it will be Blue and Black. Blue and Black vs. Pink and Black
