What's the matter? It's plausible to think that way! :lol:

Anyway about the whole SSGSS x SSJ:

I got used the Blue form months before RoF movie, but Gold SSJ is classic and I always wondered how good would look Goku and Vegeta as regular SSJ with their RoF outfit (even requested to NovaSayajinGoku to do an FanArt before all this stuff), but I don't know... The whole thing seems like a mess now, so they can turn on and off their God Ki? :crazy:
Maybe . They maybe able to switch between God ki and normal ki ? Doesn't make much sense though

This is actually what I'm banking on. Actually hoping they get rid of SSB entirely as I was never a fan of it to begin with, they already have waaaay too many transformations in my opinion.

Anyway, I won't jump to conclusions but the way SSG has been set up, it allows the "fully merged" form to retain the power while having a normal appears. This leads back to my theory that DB Super provides the explanation for Base Goku's massive leap to SSJ3 levels. So far, if you just believe SSB fully merged does the same thing SSG form does, then DBZ, Super, and GT all fit in the same timeline relatively easily. Again at this point. If they do go back to SSJ appearance and replace it with SSB then I would say it probably was not a coincidence..

Also guys, I have a question. Everyone here has been piecing together the next anime episode's names with the SSJ Gold picture here... can someone show me or direct me to where these episode names were leaked/if their air times are on schedule for week by week. Sometimes, albeit rare, there's a one week gap between an episode.

Thanks!

The episode titles get leaked through various sources. They can be things like V-Jump or Saikyo Jump promoting the upcoming month's worth of material, but most recently it's been general magazine/newspaper TV listings.

We keep an updated archive of confirmed episode titles and dates in our episode guide right here on the website.

Goku could use form that he showed before going blue in Super. His hair could be black but with golden aura. Which would make Vados comments make a lot of sense. It will also make sense that it is a form that is one step below blue.

-SSJ looks weird?!-
For people that think that Goku/Vegeta SSJ looks weird in their ROF outfit, its only because they got used to SSB. It's that simple.
If SSJ is now stronger than SSB we still don't know, but I doubt it. Goku is just not using God Ki yet. He said himself that is preserving energy for the next matches.

SSJ will never disappear. It will always be the most iconic form of this franchise. Even if it's not the strongest form anymore, it will always come back. Nostalgia/Money purposes.
And SSB is not a one time only thing like SSG. As long as Goku/Vegeta have God Ki, they can pull it off.

They even trained in that form in the manga, twice.

Vados saying Goku isn't a ordinary saiyan, doesn't mean much either. Because in the past being a SSJ was a rare thing, and this can still be the case in U6.
Cabba will be strong. Even the two keyframes that leaked on twitter teased it. :wink:

Heck Monaka might have hired him to kill Beerus.
From this month V-Jump cover I got vibes that Monaka and Hit will be connected in some way. And I really love everything about your theory. What a twist!
Good job! :thumbup:

The only way I see they may be connected would be if they're each the strongest on each team (and may have an awesome fight). The idea that Monaka and Hit are allies, based on the fact they live in separate universes is highly unlikely. I do like the theory however that he is a hired assassin.

They may not be allies, yet. The fun continues after this tournament.
Monaka vs HIt (if it happens like I'm assuming) will pull the trigger.

You've all been forewarned! :D
TBH, piccolo has been Toei's second favourite character (according to movies):

- Piccolo >= Post king kai goku in M2
- Piccolo was a major thing in M4
- Piccolo was the one to kill all cooler henchmen in M5
- Piccolo was really strong in M-7
- Piccolo was treating vegeta like his b**ch in M-8 while forcing him to fight broly. He also did better than everyone but goku and enraged vegeta
- Piccolo was able to fight bojack briefly, and didn't do really bad against him , but better than vegeta & trunks

Keep your hopes up everyone :mrgreen:

of course he can't piccolo is only at best FPSSJ tier what the hell he's going to do to someone who's god tier in power.
Who knows piccolo may now be super vegetto tier (and still be a joke for base goku/vegeta) ??

Gorou wrote:I think that it's a common SSJ.
Otherwise Piccolo would not have a chance against Frost.
Even if base goku lost to frost, piccolo still won't have chance. Also there is not a significant , if any , difference in SS & SSB power level.

Or frost vs Goku is like piccolo vs goku 23rd TB?
alakazam^ wrote:Toriyama should make the joke that someone can't see their movements because they aren't actually moving.

Another thing that caught my eye was Cabba's reaction to Frost transforming. We know their team order doesn't necessarily guarantee that they go from the weakest to the strongest but if Cabba is stronger than Frost why is he surprised by him transforming? Didn't he know he could or didn't he expect Frost to transform just yet?
Frost is massively stronger than cabba. Isn't it mentioned somewhere that frost is the emperor of U6? I believe only hit is stronger than frost.

Noah wrote:Now with the new chapter I think things might will play this way:

Goku vs. Frost = Goku loses but Frost is worn out
Piccolo vs. Frost = Frost finger flicks
Vegeta vs. Frost = Vegeta beats a weakened Frost
Vegeta vs. Magetta = Vegeta wins easily
Vegeta vs. Cabba = Vegeta wins with medium difficulty
Vegeta vs. Hit = Vegeta is beated to a pulp
Monaka vs. Hit = Monaka loses horribly
4 matches for vegeta? That's overkill. 4 "continuous" matches for vegeta, , unbearable.

Draconic wrote:I want to ask some folks, since I think the Piccolo situation is going to stir rage from fans either way: what would you like more? To have Piccolo win, thus kinda screwing with the power levels, or have him job, making the whole tournament setting kinda pointless? I for one don't care about power levels and I hope Piccolo wins. I don't want to see Vegeta or Monaka get three fights (two for each is perfect for me, one win, one lose), since that would get boring.
Power levels are already BS & screwed:

- Tien holding semi-perfect cell off, who would no sell #16's best shots, who would no sell kamiccolo , who would no sell unfused piccolo , who would no sell base saiyans, who would no sell tien

- Base gotenks was >> piccolo (atleast post HTC) >>> freeza, and SS3 gotenks < SS3 BoG goku. But Base BoG goku < freeza

- Tagoma issues
MozillaVulpix wrote:No one's talking about the first match? Because I thought that was interesting. Botamo was immune to his attacks, but Goku was still stronger, so he just threw him out of the ring. It kind of reminded me of Buyon. Immune to attacks, so you have to find another way to win.

The second match seems very fanservice-y, but it also seems kind of self-aware. It's at least making fun of the somewhat lack of creativity. Also, interesting that they mentioned Goku has never seen Freeza's third form before. That was a nice touch.

As to the whole "did Goku go regular SSJ?" I'd say yes. It makes sense. He's not permanently a god now. I mean, in Super, Goku's ki only disappears when he goes SS Blue, so presumably the god ki is something you consciously have to 'turn on'.

And as to why he'd use it...I'm expecting Frost to catch him off-guard or something. Not in the RF way, but just in the "Goku holding back is backfiring because Frost is stronger than he expected". Like, if he had used his full power from the start, he would have won. And that's how Piccolo can win.

It's actually kind of interesting, how quickly they're getting Goku out of the way. I have no idea what they're doing with the other characters.
Botamo was U6's counterpart of buyon

On frost-goku-piccolo issue, we already know that 3rd form frost is much stronger than base goku, who is so much stronger than piccolo that it doesn't matter if he's holding back in SS form or not.
Anyways, SS from champa arc > SSG BoG
My dragon ball respect threads
Respect Piccolo

Being an emperor, doesn't mean he's the strongest in his universe.
Freeza was a emperor too and after Namek arc, there was a lot of people stronger than him.

Maybe in Universe 6 the ordinary Ssj is SsjB so she's surprised to see the Yellow hair.

Another indication that it's Yellow is the new heroes cards of Goku and Vegeta using it with their new outfits.
No that concept really sucks. You just WANT him to be a regular SSJ for some reason. (Though i have no idea why) and quite frankly i don't even want to know. Anyways Herms said it. And i certainly take HIS word over yours!

Also. It is NOT confirmed that they will turn regular SSJ in Super. Since V Jump includes aspects from ALL of Dragon Ball. like Db Heroes, Xenoverse and several other games for instance. and not just Super. people these days are often to quick to jump to conclusions.
