I like it. The new one below actually has a much better outfit than Piccolo ever had.
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

They look very good. It's similar but slightly different from the U7 namekian style.

If Dyspo uses za warudo to beat Urameshi with the phoenix kamui while Kenshin does nothing, I'm done with super.

What does the top right thing mean? Piccolo among the big players? Wow, if that's true I'm really hyped!

EDIT: Piccolo top right doesn't mean shit. It's just a game of spotting those characters + Gohan's glasses. Just read Herms twitter.

Pretty good designs. I like Pilina's a bit more, and honestly I don't think he looks like Slug. They just have a similar body type. Saonaru looks great too! Hope they actually get to do something interesting.

Also, if that image proves anything is that all those designs are done and the Toei website could be updated anytime, but for some reason it's not. I really want to take a good look at them.

I edited my post above but that was too late, by the way:
Piccolo top right doesn't mean shit. It's just a game of spotting those characters, 4 Piccolos + Gohan's glasses and those earrings. Just read Herms twitter.
U6 Namekians looking good though. The one who's similar to Piccolo looks cool, I prefer his outfit with white pants. I must say the outfit is very nice and I would like to see Piccolo wearing it in the future!

The bigger guy resembles Lord Slug.

Can Frost get Cooler's transformation while we're at it?
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

That U6 buff Namekian looks like how Nappa would look if he were a Namekian.

We've gotten a bunch of movie & GT stuff in here so ye, I second a Cooler like form for Frost!
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

A Namekian without pants. I think we're about to get a resolution to one of the biggest mysteries of Dragon Ball... do Namekians have a penis?

I like it in the manga but not here, simply because it was established in the manga from the start while here it's coming out of nowhere.
Totamo wrote:Ok when the Cell saga has 4 forms alone, you can't say this shit.

Z was also about merchandise.

it was why Tori was forced to keep going.
The 2 muscle forms are just Ssj1 with big muscles like what Roshi did and 2 (at the time) was just Gohan's full power, there wasn't even a difference between it and Ssj1. All 3 forms weren't even called new during that arc, they were just powered up Ssj1s. Ssj3 is the only true new form apart from 1.

No it wasn't, it was about selling the manga.

After all these years and all the info out there, there are still people who bring up this lie.
So super vegeta and super trunks weren't new forms really now, so thats why games still sell them as individuals. It doesn't matter if you only see them as power ups or if they weren't called new, because they were new. They weren't in the freeza saga and they fought with them like they were forms. Roshi's buff form is more often down as a one and down deal, like kaioken. Trunks fought in that form for an entire episode and vegeta did it for 2.

People often say that transformations ruined dragon ball and we both know that didn't start with super.


Those "power ups" were all over that saga and only full powered super saiyan 1 and super saiyan 2 mattered, so why do the other grades exist and why do they sell them like they were.

The fact that dragon ball had 2 movies coming out alongside the manga , one included a fake super saiyan 10 days before it came out kinda destroys your point. Maybe toriyama was trying to sell his manga but toei nor bandai sure wasn't.

Lol . namekian in shorts. Also, I don't actually think he looks like Slug, but I'll have to get a closer look to be sure.

I actually like Saoneru's darker, blueish skin tone, but what intrigues me more is his apparent cocky attitude, if his one and only image is anything to go by. He and his buddy are actually the only ones from U6 that are smirking. I still think they won't get to do anything too spectacular though, there was absolutely no hype build around these two (and that warthog dude.)

So far, no hype is a sign of good things for a character
