Poor U3, that means if that guy loses they end up with 7 very cool and total useless statues in the arena.

Crazy idea, what if the transformation doesn't have anything to do with race. It's simply a plateau which can be reached by everyone who has ki.
No need more for names like Super Saiyan (insert color), (insert number), (insert status), (insert anything).
Like Kaioken then which also means no one else will end up getting it.

What if they just go the confusing route on the name and call it "Saiyan God"

There are some theories spreading that this form might be the prelude to Super Saiyan 4 :lol:

I'm not sure how to feel about that. It could be the best thing ever or the worst thing ever with how they progress with that concept. If that is to be true in the first place, of course.

For now, I'll call this new form Saiyan beyond Blue. Goku isn't a Super Saiyan, and he is stronger than Super Saiyan Blue, so...
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.

It doesn't say which one, it just says that U2 has a Yardratian and a Tsufurujin; but probably it's moustache guy because he looks like Dr Raichi.

Speculation is that its some kind of imperfect SSJ4. "GT being in Super" is spreading like wildfire. What's scary is that side by side comparisons are very similar with SSJ4. If there was a furless prelude... Well this would be close to my imagination of it. They brought SSG back, I wouldn't doubt SSJ4 existing, LSSJ is in it for crying out loud.

I was hoping for this show to usurp and destroy GT. Please, for the love of everything good, do not let this be an ss4 prelude. It neither makes sense nor is it a cool or good idea. This form looks much better, anyway.

It won't be, don't worry. That theory doesn't even make sense because the Golden Ape form is the precursor to Super Saiyan 4 and this most likely won't have anything to do with that.

More importantly, who on earth looked at that design and thought "Wow, I'm getting SS4 vibes!"?

It'd be funny to see SSJ4 again. They couldn't come up with anything half as well thought of design wise, so let's steal from the most thoughtful form. It'd at least be a surprise this POS tournament needs to be memorable.

It's also funny anyone thinks GT is going away. It's never going away. They STILL keep pulling from it even to this very day. They still keep on marketing it ala Heroes, Dokkan Battle, or whatever they feel like doing. If it were truly dead, they'd never mention it again. It'd just be a thing that happened to have been made, and that's it. It has some marketable value apparently unlike other anime spin off's which usually die and are never heard from again.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Since this thread seems to be about the new spoilers currently, I noticed something in the image. The Universe 11 panel shows the little blue guy as being eliminated but Dyspo as not. The Universe 4 panel shows the hidden fighters revealed but does NOT show Caway (the female fighter from Universe 4 that Roshi is supposed to fight) as eliminated. If in this upcoming episode Goku and Hit eliminate that fourth Pride Trooper but not Dyspo, this could be an indication that Roshi is going to lose to Caway in episode 105 (which I hope is the case, personally speaking). Thoughts?

For what it's worth, on this official exhibit showing the timeline of the franchise, Dragon Ball GT is listed as taking place five years after the events of Super and Z

GT could still take place if Goku/Vegeta loose their memories of Beerus and God Ki, which is very possible if the powers at be after the tourney decide it's better if mortals and Gods do not mingle so everyone's memories are erased.

:thumbup: :clap: If there was a rep system on Kanzenshuu, I'd rep you. I like the way you think.

At the end of the day, Super is still on-going, so it's simply not possible to determine what will happen by the end of the series.

On-topic:

I like Goku's Limit Break form. I'll be curious to see what comes of this.

Based on the leaks from V-JUMP, it seems like Kunshi will be eliminated this weekend.

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.
It was blue even in the back, which has a red aura.

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.
