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).
I can't wait until it's shown that the two Zeno's raise their hands up to give their ki to Goku when he forms the Genkidama. Zeno mentioned no outside interruptions, but that doesn't include him. I can't fucking wait.

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.

When Goku is standing up, his hair look to be the same as base, so it doesn't look like he's transformed at that point just survived.

Anyway I'm not sure why a lot of people are sullied by the idea of this form being as a result of Goku absorbing. I'd much rather it be something like this on the spot and not something already gained like SS3, SSGSS.

For those that are gonna live stream it, watch the trailer in 144p and enjoy cuz that's what it's gonna be like, hope being impatient for an hour is gonna be worth it for you.

Because that means only Goku is eligible to get it and you KNOW how the west feels about Goku right now.

Although I admit I would rather it not be a form just Goku could get I do like the concept of him absorbing the Spirit Bomb. That sounds pretty neat. And the spirit bomb is more Goku's than anything.

I doubt the internet fandom makes up the entire western Dragon Ball fanbase.

I’m calling Super Saiyan Prime. :lol:

See, Prime remind me of primates. A Saiyan could be taken as a primate. Prime also gives an idea of primitive, original or top form. Just a theory, though.

Crackpot theory:

That line from one of the pieces of promotional art we saw about the time of the gods being over or something was very curious. I wonder if Goku will reach his new form by literally using up every bit of god ki in his body? Though I don't know if that would qualify as something terrible happening as another promotional piece described.

While I would prefer your normal rage type thing and poof *transformation triggered* rather than the GD absorption theory, I wouldnt mind it that much since the end result is Goku's form looks freaking badass (I wonder what kind of name they'll give it, I'm used to calling it Limit Breaker Goku by now but knowing as Super is literally in the title of the show I would be surprised if they dont include "Super" in the form's name)

That actually should be the name of Super Saiyan 4, fits more perfectly for that one. As Nakatsuru said "Super Saiyan 4" was just for convenience.

I don't mind either tbh, but the GD method would be a lot more unique. I always felt like it was wasted potential beforehand.
Feels over Reals.

With more and more they tease the Goku and Jiren battle, the more I can't wait for it. A Genki Dama, Super Saiyan Blue with Kaioken times 20 stacked on top of it and a new Super Saiyan form.

This is gonna be Episode 66 on steroids, cocaine and speed. :P

My god the 3rd preview really, really has me hyped. Fight of the year. possibly decade lol
Zamasu is the best DB villain besides Freeza (and this is only the case because the current Super arc elevated Freeza to be that good).

Absorbing spirit bombs is something we've already seen.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

And the amount of $h*t Toei got for it was next level. Especially absorbing it into a transformed state. It's almost like Toei is canonizing every single criticism the fandom has ever had about something they did as if there was some ulterior motive.... :think:

lol but I'm interested in seeing what happens, the lore behind it, and the fan reaction to it.
