On the contrary, the fact that nobody considered or even expected it proves it.

I'm perfectly fine with it. Just waiting for the reaction when people realized their own fan fiction dreams have not materialized.

No shame in pink.
Pink is the manliest colour.

It is kinda funny to see that SSJ White Black isn't a thing (yet). There's been a lot of misinformation going around because of that Toriyama interview, so having that stuff disproven is always good. As for it being fanfic stuff, it'll probably get to stay in a lot of fanfics. I mean, I'm gonna go there soon (though for a fundamentally different reason than Goku Black) too. I'm not changing it to pink because of him.

I don't want to pass any judgement on the form yet, because the sticker thing is a pretty shitty drawing, so it might turn out the form actually looks very good, however, I will say that pink compliments black very well, depending on the shade, and has the potential of looking truly amazing if done right. However, based on what we've got, I'm not sold on it.

By fan fiction, I mean personal expectations that people (wrongly) expect the author should fulfill.

No it wasn't. There was a suggestion but we don't know how detailed it was. We do know this is based if Toriyama ''s own outline though. As another user said, he finished February which is before people theorized about white hair

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Wowee zow.

Boy, does it feel good knowing that this will settle much of the widely-accepted fan-art of "SSW Black" and the "theories" that came with it. Drove me up a freakin' wall. ...I will however, compromise that a white-haired transformation would be very welcome with a brand new hair style, not a palette swap of the existing ones. For those of you that haven't been counting, we're up to three recolors now.

Besides the odd dream-crushing satisfaction, I do really like Super Saiyan Bubble Gum! I'd only be disappointed if there's barely an explanation as to why Black can achieve a Super Saiyan form or even worse, no explanation as to who or what Black even is. My expectations are set low, of course... but it would be nice. We all thought we were gonna get a SSB reveal for Super, after RoF gave us nothing. :problem:

Hey how about that Namekian Book of Legends, eh

I forgot about the Namekian book of legends. Another plot point dropped? Or pointlessly added by Toei?

Wait, I thought that was shit made up by fans.

Nope. Whilst explaining the Super Saiyan God legend, Shenlong tossed it out as a reference like it was no big deal... never trust a five-fingered dragon

That is why people have said they should use that to make a power up for Piccolo. Someone at Toei should tell it to Toriyama.

Who Goku Black is must have been created by the person at Toei but the rest is probably done by Toriyama. Goku Black might not even be the final villain though and I hope he is not.

Woah... well I just woke up to this.

You know, jokes aside... It actually looks pretty good on Black? At least in that image. I mean, SSG was kinda diving into the pinkish zone so whatever.

But now, oh boy, this is kind of "watching the world burn" I like, time to see Youtube going batshit about this. :lol:

People will like it a few weeks after they first see it in the anime, it will actually be unique.

I wonder if the reason Toriyama decided to give pink hair to Goku Black, is because he still has plans to use white hair for Goku and Vegeta later and he wanted a new color for Black that wouldn't clash with that one.

It's also interesting that FT Trunks doesn't have a new transformation in there. I wonder if he will get SSB while training with Vegeta.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Hopefully Goku and Vegeta get no new colours. If Trunks gets SSB while training with Vegeta in a such a short space of time then it will take number 1 spot for bullshit power ups.

Toriyama wrote:In Battle of God it was red, so I figured for revival of ‘F’ I should go with blue. That’s all (laughs). Well actually I was thinking about having it be white, but then it would color-clash with the “next-enemy” ... So I figured I should save it for another occasion.”
I think Trunks will get Ssj3 first and after this arc he might train with Whis alongside Goku & Vgetea.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Wowwee, I can't believe people are still complaining! It's just a hair color. Why does everyone complain about recolors? Would you rather have something like this? And then they contradict it by saying Super Saiyan Blue is a dumb name. Isn't it just a recolor? Oy... there's a bit of my steam, so forgive me.

If he is showing up. If that's anything to go by, then Super Saiyan God will be back, and only Vegeta will be swapping outfits.

And also Broly.

I honestly think it's just random merch, I mean, we see SSB Vegeta with his RoF clothes.

I'd be crying of excitement if this meant that Gogeta will be in Super though.
