The new ED's freaking sick! I already love it regardless of what the visual will have.

I also think the new form has nothing to do with KK, it probably just has something to do with SSJG and SSJB like combining the two.

I expect the fights to last longer so I doubt it will end in episode 116.
116-117 is the number I guessed a few days ago and honestly it sounds about right to me.
Then if the tournament is not the end game the new stuff can start at the end of November or the beginning of December, or if it is the end game then the arc ends just before Jump Festa so we won't go long until we know the next arc.

I think that's unprobable only because Vegeta will most likely catch up to Goku. Also, of Goku created the form by infusing KK and then Genkidama then the form would be temporary.
What does Vegeta have to do with anything?

Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan is just an extension of Super Saiyan God, so combing the two forms make no sense. That is like combining Super Saiyan 1 and 2 to make a new form.

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.

Adding another spirit bomb on top of it surely will result in the most over the top form known to human kind..

I'm not talking about the form here, just a technique, Kaioken powered Spirit Bomb. The thing summaries teased as Goku "sure fire technique.".

Many thanks!

I'm surprised how fast paced it is, makes me wonder what the visuals will be.

Right. I have a feeling Vegeta will eventually get this form too.

The manga doesn't have Vegeta too far behind Goku. The same has to be with the anime. The only difference is Goku uses SSBKK, which will become obsolete here soon against Jiren.

The endings are just promos for Japanese pop/soft rock artists, it's funny how some dubs translate them.

Says who? It isn't like Vegeta got Super Saiyan 3.

On this thread, for now :) I'm fairly certain there will be a number of people that don't like it, or think it doesn't suit DB. J-rock isn't everyone's cup of tea.

I admit it's a somewhat surprising tune given how the others sounded, but not unwelcome. This seems closer to what I would expect from other shonen anime like Bleach, MHA, KnB etc, which why I'm really curios about the visuals they'll do to match the song.

I'd rather take that than the chahan song we got back then and the cute girl pop songs, some of those were just cringey for me.

I haven't liked any of the ED from Super up until now tbh. I don't know if I listened to each and everyone, but what I did catch, I didn't enjoy much :?

Ironically, I still love Zenkai Power most of all.

I liked the first ending, but imho nothing compares to the ending to OG Dragon Ball.

Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan is to Super Saiyan God, what Super Saiyan 1 is to base. It's a game of contrasts; black/yellow, red/blue. It's a bit more than an extension.

I'll have to hear the whole 1:30 ED before making a decision on if I like it or not. I'm neutral on it now.

I feel like the fight against Jiren could play out like this:

Goku fights Jiren and is overpowered.
Goku uses KKX20 and is overpowered.
Goku unloads the spirit bomb on him and that fails. This would be the end of 109.
Jiren does a thing that triggers Goku to transform.

There's still the terrible thing. If Goku takes energy from his team, I have a feeling Jiren will clean house when the Spirit Bomb fails. My bigger concern is that Goku will convince the other Universes to give him power to beat Jiren as a mutual foe and they'll be weakened when he endures the Spirit Bomb.

Not so sure he will be able to pull off such a stunt..
Goku isn't exactly the most convincing guy when it comes to asking for spirit bomb energy..

Bet Goku is regretting not taking Mr Satan along :twisted:

I need to wait for the full thing to give better judgement, but I don't like what I hear. I doubt it can be worse than Chao Fan Music though, because that one was just trash
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.
