It is called a transformation in the teaser and by the writer on Twitter.

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.

Yeah the initial VJUMP tease said a certain transformation appears, and Toei tweeted a few days ago "a new Goku will arise" and furthermore the FES Stage figure line said they will produce a figure for Goku's "new future form".

Ah I'm going with what the poster said from way back, the "kami no miwaza" term where "waza = technique"

The loser of the fight is going to really pissed, not because they lost but because they don't get to give Vegeta his latest beatdown in episode 112. :)

With people speculating about Goku's Form being a disastrous event or him losing control, I can't help but watch this scene of Superman pretending to kill a bunch of villains. I don't know why...
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

That does look amazing. I wish they would've let Goku and Vegeta keep their RF outfits.

Does anyone know why they didn't ? was it ever said ?

I love their RF outfits.

It isn't known why they got dropped as far as I know.

My guess is someone high up is blinded by "nostalgia".

I wish they'd have new outfits. Help give Super its own identity.

You may not like the style, but calling it horrendous is taking it way too far. The drawings are very good, and the shading is too. I personally love that style, it looks much more "real". The second picture really gives me martial arts vibes, it's a pleasure to look at it. I wished the FT arc looked like that because that style conveys the dark atmosphere of the arc.

You mean like Toriyama since the manga made the same changes?

Same man, makes me sad all the time I see them.

Nope never stated. The theory is they reverted back for Vegetto and now just stuck with it.

Compared to the current crop of garbage we are getting these are godly. Characters actually look like themselves and drawn nicely and these pieces have some actual atmosphere to them.

Compare to this piece of hot garbage for eg what even is that SS4?:

Toriyama's not free from criticism. There's no way to know if changing the outfits back was his idea or not, but if it was my charge would only change to Toriyama's being lazy/uncreative rather than someone at Shueisha is nostalgia blind.

It wouldn't even need to be the RoF outfits; as long as it's something new. Even Z changed character outfits every arc!

If it happened in both the anime and manga, chances are it was Toriyama’s idea since it really makes no sense from a marketing view to change outfits. In fact, in the script of Resurrection ‘F’ written by Toriyama he drew the outfits and then noted that Toei didn’t have to use them. So he wasn’t that fond of them when he made them.

Also, only a few characters in Z changed outfits. Goku kept the same gi until EOZ. Only the symbol changed before no symbol in the Android and Buu Saga. Piccolo has the same outfit since forever and Gohan wore Piccolo’s outfit until his teen years. Krillin didn’t changed outfits until the Buu Saga. In the Android Saga he just put an undershirt on like Goku.

With all these people speculating that one scene by Goku saying that he is itching (which i thought was because of the love attacks from Ribrianne) my friend now thinks that Damon is on Goku and somehow is going to be controlling him later on. Since that new NEP i posted too, everyone is putting their theory caps on haha.

I don't know what I'm arguing anymore. Everything you mention I already knew before. Only thing you didn't say was that Vegeta changed battle outfits noticeably each arc.

I guess my point is I'm bored of seeing Vegeta's Cell arc outfit and bored of seeing Gokû's generic dougi and wish they'd get something new to wear.

I don't really care if Toriyama didn't like the RoF outfits he designed.

The point I was trying to make while Vegeta may have changed armors, Goku’s gi doesn’t change outside of the symbol until EOZ. So Goku’s gi didn’t really change in every saga. The Buu Saga was when several characters finally changed their outfits.

The RoF outfits are ok, but I don't miss them at all. I do wish Vegeta would use his Boo Saga outfit more and that Goku would use his EoZ gi more.
