I've seen multiple people translate it and come up with it not specifying that the saiyan in the opening is her. Herms isn't infallible.
The only translations I've seen that are more vague that are taken from the another French translation, and translations of translations tend not to be as reliable as translations from the source.
Kagari translated it herself too.

The new lady looks pretty cool.

I mean I guess you could imply they're the same? But they look completely different and I doubt Yamamuro changed Toriyama's design that much.

It doesn't make sense to have the OP shots of Fem Broly if that isn't her.

Hopefully Herms is right and it is Female Broly. More chance for Namekians, Earthlings and new races.

Now we wait for the episode 88 preview.

That was the first thing I thought. This is probably her relaxed outfit.

The vagueness that super tends to bring with announcements is borderline stupid. I guess they know what there doing and love creating artificial drama, but come on this ain't a soap opera.

This fembroly design

Is very un Yamamuro, but it matches the Jiren design which ended up being Yamamruo's. Because of how different they are from Yamamuro it's likely that Yamamuro traced Toriyama or Toyotaro for his designs of these two characters, so if both female saiyans are the same person we'll likely see both designs in the show. If we weren't going to see both designs in the show I doubt they'd have release Toriyama's art.
I really don't like that a bunch of people are rolling with "Yamamuro probably just threw away Toriyama's design."

Agreed. Too much lack of information, why bother doing all this stuff?

They kept Toriyama's blue-haired Trunks. That says a lot.

It would be good to release all the teams sometime before the tournament, so many characters it would be hard to familiarize with them otherwise..
Even the full universe 6 team would be nice to see

I don't imagine any more than a handful of new characters will actually be important, so there isn't too much of a reason to.

Super is indeed very vague with its announcements, but the design does look a lot like base fem Broly in the OP without the hair tie. Maybe AT's design is just her pajamas or something.
The eyes are just her non pointy style like when Gohan has his glasses on and Goku with his sometimes goofy look.

I know, but wouldn't releasing the characters then show who are important beforehand, just to not let that surprise go bad the whole team seems like a better idea

They might just build them up in the show a few at a time, like they've already done with Toppo, Dyspo and Kahseral.

The Manga hasn't even finished the Black arc yet. The U.S arc will start in June at the earliest.

Or you can just stop worrying about power levels and just watch the show.
