Thats weird, I thought it was saying Gods ultimate technique not perfected, since I wasnt sure at first I asked my Japanese friend about what it meant and he said "it means ultimate, but on a higher level, like giving huge respect to someone or something that reaches the heavens after I showed him the poster, then later I read Herms ver on it and he took it as perfected or end...

F happened in the manga, it just wasn't shown. Without it having it's own adaptation we just have to assume that it happened the same as in the movie.
We don't. Why don't we assume that Toyotarõ would have made FnF in compliance to what he wrote after? Which in my view is the most logical development, he did smalls changes in the BoG arc to make Super Saiyan God permanent.
That's what I like to think, that still doesn't make it true.

Criticizing or praising anything based on assumptions is wrong. Since people don't have anything palpable to lean their opinions on.
FnF still fits in the manga continuity. From what we know, SSB's full power doesn't last long in the manga, and that they can't hold the form forever, not that it constantly drains the user's ki. I mean, SS3 constantly drains the user's ki, and then (for those who are alive) after 5 minutes it speeds up & drains everything the user has (even Fusion time or time of the dead in the Living World). The fact that Goku & Vegeta could beat Golden Freeza simply means that Freeza's Golden form was much more flawed than Goku's & Vegeta's SSB. Maybe the way SSB works in the manga is, it drops from full power after a few seconds, stops draining ki, and then after several minutes it starts draining more ki again. The point is, as flawed as SSB was, Golden Freeza was even more flawed.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

THANK GOD goku has a new transformation. Would be silly for the likes of 17 and gohan to catch up with him after doing barely any serious training or going trhogh the things goku and vegeta have.

Goku should always stand alone.

He seems to be going for jiren in the nep itself
Yes but we know from spoilers he seems to be fighting 8 different people. Sure one of them could be Jiren, but given all Jiren's hype as Goku's newest major rival, I think it's more likely they'll tease their figt in tomorrow's episode for them to have their big rift in a later episode.

I agree that it's possible they might begin fighting, but whether they do or not, after the hyping of this fight for months, I honestly don't see them having their big fight until episodes later, and I definitely see Jiren being the real deal.

We don't know what kind of training 17 did, and from the looks of it Goku's new transformation is going to be random i don't see how it is from "serious training" but i agree Goku should always have stand alone since he's the main character that way fans of the other characters would know their place i guess.

So Super Saiyan Blue is totally worthless then? It was supposed to be the characters with God power, now there's something above it?

People are saying Goku's hair looks like Super Saiyan's in the poster? It looks more like a mohawk to me

I've seen that before and I know it's old.

Could be from that filler arc of Z where they gave ssj Gokû his base hair color. That's the only time he was both dead and had that hair style/color combination.

No. For some reason, the artist who did that image just wanted to draw his hair like that (maybe as an inspiration from that Dragon Ball Z's episode?). It means nothing, card doesn't reference anything "new" nor Goku's in-game model is different.

It looks similar to the thing shown in OP with the front bangs and stuff. Hopefully the actual transformation looks like that

Lol 17 got strong from fighting poachers on some random island ffs. Thats awful.

Think about what training and fights goku has done/been involved with since the cell saga. No one bar vegeta should be anywhere close.

And please done say 17 has potential. hate that shit.

When Toei said Toriyama-san they want to show off 17 he himself agreed saying there is a lot of potential he has (me re-phrasing it, I don't have the quote right here).

Ikr? This exactly what I thought when I saw that episode with 17's return. I mean, how can 17, who's been chilling on an island with animals, be able to fight SSB Goku, who's literally saved the world a bunch of times since the Cell saga, involving fighting gods. But okay, I understand we need to have everyone on the Universe 7 team get super unrealistically tough for the tournament.

Vegeta gets stronger from punching air in the ROSAT, Those poachers are probably slighter better opponents.

Saiyan Beyond God Goku with a Kaioken multiplier so high it puts him above Blue Goku with Kaioken? Because it'd be more stable that way?

IMO the whole potential stuff is the main reason why Goten and Trunks are being omitted in DBS, because if they train they will become OP as hell like Gohan and Mirai Trunks did after hours of training.

I agree that 17 has the worst excuse in reaching Blue tier.
