I hadn't thought of Vegeta's reaction to "Godku". XD

Oh man, it'd be priceless.



If Vegeta were to be the one to get the godly power-up, the ego boost he'd get from it would be enormous.

Goku would be immensely excited and want to fight god-form Vegeta.

I assume that the Super Saiyan God form will be temporary for Goku, since they keep mentioning this being before GT, and Goku didn't use Super Saiyan God, obviously.

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.

I'm almost certain it'll be a temporary power-up. Something strong enough to deal with Birusu (and Uisu) would probably be too reality-breaking to have after the battle is over if the character that gets it wishes to continue living his usual life.

I wonder what the form will look like; will it have clothes similar to Birusu's?

So for this "Super Saiyan God", they're using the English word "god" (超サイヤ人ゴッド/Suupaa Saiya-jin Goddo).

No "Kamikarrotto" then? Ok, Godku it is. :3

(That is, if Goku is the one who gets it.)

I can only imagine what this form will look like. On the downside, expect a bunch of Photoshopped SSJ4 with golden hair pics once people hear about this, They'll say "this is the official new form" and everyone will believe it. Anyway, I'M EXTREMELY EXCITED.

About when should we expect confirmation? Today? Tomorrow? Next week?

I'll be using the name "Godku" for now on unless it's confirmed that it will be someone else who gets this "SSJ God" form.

Let the poorly drawn fanart of Godku commence!

What do you guys (and girls :) ) think the new form will look like? It seems like it will look like a new form of SSJ but what new features do you think will be added.

I'm envisioning some form with heavy SSJ elements with a really mystical aura, similar to Ultimate Gohan in Budokai 3.

The Church of Goku and the Later Day Saiyans is going to have so many new converts soon.... :lol:

A godly form. Wow... just... I want to see this already, dammit! D:

It's definitely gotta have eyebrows. Also a new hairstyle.

An outfit simliar to Birusu's, but not necessarily the same colors. A more heroic version of Birusu's outfit? No shirt.

It's so hard for me to think "manga/anime character's god-form" without thinking of Madoka Magica. It would make me want to say "golden irises", but ssj4 has that already.

Hmm...I am curious as to what the form looks like. Perhaps it's something new looking, or maybe it's just his regular Super Saiyan form supe'd up with the ability to match Birusu (I think we've seen bits of the final battle already)? So many questions. I wonder if V-Jump shows off the form, or if they just mention it?

I was thinking of a new outfit as well. Some think akin to SSJ4 only more God like...maybe Greek mythology influence? Perhaps similar to Broli's attire but less space oriented (the boots in particular)?

I want them to show it off, but I feel like they'll just mention it. The 2ch thread hasn't said anything specific about who gets the form, so I'm thinking it's just a teaser atm.

I still think that 8th WCF figure is of this new form though.

This is really good news :) I'm not fussed if it's temporary or not, I'm just glad there's gonna be a good reason why Goku gets the power to fight Birusu, well I hope so anyway. I hope we get a new design and it's not just the appearance of a regular SSJ.
