Now you mention it... Initially I thought it was typical Yamamuro highlights but now I'm second guessing... Hmmmm. Perhaps the final version the hair is completely silver?
The first visual with the back of Goku hasn't the blue aura like the visual of today although he has the exact same silvering color around the Black hair. So we can conclude the color isn't a direct reflection of the aura....

I have 2 ideas right now :
1- Goku will have Black hair mixing with silver hair.
2- Goku transformation isn't finished and yes he'll become Silver SSJ... And if i'm correct the first visual implying thing like a transformation process with Goku trying to attain a new level of power so......

The highlights are more blue than silver.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

Where did you read it?
Check Herms twitter, there was some info on the exempt universes in that spread.

Of course naturally everything is being buried by the big thing.
Interesting, I wonder if the strongest mortal is from the purely spiritual race. I also wonder how they will look like; will they be individuals born with natural ki control? They wouldn't mention them if they won't show them, I think. But magazines have mentioned many meaningless things which were never said in the anime (like the Yoga fighter).

You know I once suggested Jiren would be the DB Superman. I think others may have been right when they said he may be DB's "One Punch Man". A Heroe who broke his limits and now has no challang.

It's only a handful of characters with presumably everyone else being one-note sacrificial pawns. Are we to assume most of the other fighters will receive the Nigrisshi treatment? It sounds underwhelming if only those poster characters will be fleshed out to any meaningful degree.
Don't forget about the 2 green men.

Soooo....Any theories on why the form gives Goku those kyuubi eyes? I'm going to take a wide swing and say it brings out some of his Ozaruu traits similar to SSJ4, or maybe... [spoiler]demons[/spoiler]
Feels over Reals.

Too bad He lacks a Genos and a Tatsumaki to make him look more interesting.

I know Murata has been using DB references in the last months so I guess Toriyama will return the favor now? :think:

Fall this year will be a battle of the "Limite Breakers". Feels like tha shonan transformastion trops have finally come full circle.

Instead of the cool, simple new form we got, we should've had a furry rainbow colored SS4 recolor with SS3 hair and giant wings. It's very creative and not lazy like all these new forms.
Heroes come and go, but legends are forever.

With the blue aura, maybe it's a bit confusing, but if you look closely to the front hair it's clearly silver hair ! In fact the Silver cover the Black hair like if it's a transformation in process !
I have the impression than Goku is really becoming SS Silver. I'm now sure it isn't the final transformation.

I don't really think this is the full transformation, but how he looks just before transforming (like the hair flickering between black and blonde, the eye flickering black and green during the first SSJ transformation).

If Goku's hair goes silver/white could this be the white thing Toriyama mentioned ages ago?

That would be good and kinda would explain Jiren "don't care" attitude, his backstory could make him more interesting as a character.

it would also make the dynamic of U7 & 11 intreasting.

Toppo rebucked Goku for setting the tournament in motion becuse was bored. That would seem very hypicritical if it turns out that his core, Jiren is no different then Goku.

Goku dose not ring out fighters strait away because he wants to fight them, its fun. Jiren dosen't because he's bored stupide and dosen't care, worst comes to worst he can just curb stop the whole lot of them so why bother putting any real effert in until he needs to?

Toyotaro should have more creative control over the series by 2018, so it should be handled fine.
You keep saying these things yet there isn't any proof. They ain't gonna let some newbie handle DB, just because he's helping Toriyama out with designs doesn't mean anything. And regardless of Toei will still do Toei, Toyo isn't gonna write every script do every SB for the anime.
Also, reading My Hero Academy will not make him a better writer. Stop.

I am going to guess that the reason why that Yardratians are in Universe 2 is becuase they instant transmissioned their planet there.

Universe travel tech? Their supposed to be brainy little bastards.

Or the twin universe idea is not so clean cut. Or the kaioshin of U2 is a lazy git and spyed on U7 when he got creators block and needed idea's for lifeforms.
