I wonder if they could develop some kind of "jealous between brothers" with present Trunks, I mean everyone is giving more attention to his future counterpart than him (not that they don't have a reason for it), maybe he could grow some resentment, maybe they could even start fight about it, that would be something interesting.

But like hell Super would have such depth lol
You make it sound like Dragon Ball itself is a deep series, lol.
If anything, this arc is getting more depth than the series' usual fare already. The Future Trunks from Cell arc looked like a cardboard in comparison.

If he doesn't do anything useful than bringing him back will have been for nothing.

That and Majin vegeta Vs Goku was the deepest moments in the show. I just need one moment like that from super.
God power of some form should be given to Tien, Piccolo and Krillin before the 3 half Saiyans as they deserve it much more.
Why krillin? The man slacked off more than Gohan. I assume piccolo's still training but we don't really know the intensity of it. Tien is someone who definitely deserves it.

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.

I wonder if God Ki would work differently for the half-Saiyans, considering that unlike Super Saiyan, it isn't a Saiyan exclusive thing.
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

You'd be surprised by how many people think that ssb is a full Saiyan only transformation.

Well, I'd say it depends a bit on whether a Super Human God form exists or not. If there isn't one, they'd just turn Super Saiyan God or Super Saiyan Blue, but if there is one, they could get a hybrid form, or maybe pick one or the other. It's all speculation, though.

I wish Super Earthlings/Humans existed (Super Saiyan Videl), but I highly doubt they ever will. But that's what fanfics are for *cough cough, COUGH!*

Short of the advent of some four-way Potara fused Mystic powered Super Human with God Ki and Kaioken amplifying their power, there's no feasible means for any human to reach Goku or Vegeta's level, much less Beerus and Whis. We can't even get Piccolo up to par with the non-God Ki powered Saiyans. If giving a little bit of God Ki allowed the likes of Yamcha and Chaozu to miraculously surpass everything and become viable again, do you realise how contrived that would be? The backlash would likely be immense, possibly moreso than Freeza and his elite men skyrocketing up to Gohan level and higher through four brief months of training.

I'm seeing crap like Goku Black's new transformation having pink hair on sites like SaiyanIsland. Really hope that shit isn't true and won't show up in the Super anime...

It's legit. It leaked through an image of a set of cards on Amazon.

Fans would like that though especially as they are not Saiyans. Just imagine the excitement if a Human or Piccolo got some form of God power, it is the best thing that could happen to the franchise.

Trunks getting blue hair all of a sudden was random enough. But Goku Black, who seems like a really interesting villain, with pink hair as a transformation? My God man. I really hope that's just in the cards.

Nothin wrong with the color pink.

People will end up liking it after the first few weeks it's in the anime, they are just exaggerating as usual.

How does the color pink make him any less interesting? He's become more interesting, if anything.

Just when I thought the pink hair stuff was over... Oh, well. It'll be all over soon... hopefully. No point in complaining about complaints, I suppose.

Did the color Pink really ruin a character that you like? Seriously?
Dragon Ball /Z/GT/Super is a children's show and there's nothing wrong with that.

We may see all colors of the rainbow by the end of Super.

Depends on how it's executed. And Super, while it has great moments, hasn't really been executed that well all of the time.

Never said it made him less interesting.
Shin wrote: Did the color Pink really ruin a character that you like? Seriously?
No it doesn't "ruin" anything. Never said that. Just an unexpected change, is all. Gosh people, do I have to like everything DBS decides to do?

Again it just depends on how its executed. Just an initial reaction is all. I didn't think SSGSS KK would be all that great, and then it was.
