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.

Nobody wants to see: "Granny Bulma."
Speak it for yourself, I much prefer seeing characters aging than these lame new young looking designs, Bulma in Super looks like a teenager for F's sake, don't even make me begin to talk about other characters.
I don't see the problem here. Have you seen her mom?


Besides, not many like watching old people nag and complain which is what old bulma and young bulma would do. Case in point, Chichi. People like 18 year old Chichi better even though she was just as naggy

This looks pretty sick, the most intense we've seen Goku in Super.

It seems he transforms just after he threw the Genki Dama, so I'm guessing he'll use the Genki Dama in the first half and then fight in the new form in the second half.

The first one is especially curious. Jiren's counter-attack? :think:

Have we learned nothing about misleading previews?

Why does it look like Goku absorbed the Genki dama?

Interesting, it seems Goku was transforming while using the Genkidama :think:

Ms. Briefs always seemed young, my point is that we saw Bulma growing from a teenager to a mature woman over the time in the original series and most designs in Super including hers make characters look younger than they should.

Wow, at :07, Goku uses Kaioken to kick Jiren in the face and it just bounces right off of him. :shock:

I love how Jiren's response was just being unfazed and then proceeds to almost instantly grab Goku's leg.

So basically Goku is most likely going to pull a Hiei and absorb his most dangerous attack?
How i predict the tournament will end:

More and more it looks like he is going to absorb the Genkidama, after Jiren bounces it back at him and Goku couldn't hold on even with SSBKK.
Super Saiyan Zeno, perhaps?
Or drop the O and it's Super Saiyan Zen. Calling it now (inb4 somebody somewhere already came up with this).

That is one of the most badass looks Goku did in Super, the way he was slowly standing up.. and yeah it does look like he's gonna absorb the GD, those black lightnings were awesome! I hope his new form has those as effects when he pumps up his aura.

Trailer looks cool, and Jirens a monster! I was thinking maybe Goku gets this new form by pushing his body way way past his limit in this fight, but maybe most other people are correct, and it is to do with absorbing the GD.

I think the most interesting aspect of this new trailer is the scene with the black lightning. I mean black lightning? That's some dark stuff (and gives me bad vibe)! Also if he DOES absorb the genki dama, who's energy is he absorbing? If the energy he absorbs plays a factor in how the form looks, then it seems like he has a lot of energies all fused at once within him.
