It's sad how some people are reacting negatively to this female Saiyan.

She looks cool at the moment, but I'll need to see more of her to really judge her.

I hated her at the start. Because you know she looks beat by beat near identical too Broly. Hence the name Female Broly.

Honestly her base form looks good design wise. But her legendary SSJ form just looks plain ugly. Anyhoo, she provides me with ample shipping material

Yah guys, let's hate on a character we know nothing about just because she looks like Broly. I find having a female Broly hilarious. Y'all need to lighten up.

I don't hate her. I have hopes for her bringing some Brolli-related comedy along for the ride though. The original Brolli (Brolli prime?) is a boring character. Please let Colli/Brolet/Sislli be not boring. Let them have at Brolli's tropes in some satirical way.

In terms of ships and filling out rosters though, I'm not interested.

The very instant I saw "female Broly" in the preview, I didn't think of power levels, canon, or any of that jazz. I could only think of one thing: The priceless reactions this will garner! :lol:

Fans: Give us a female ssj!
Toriyama: Here ya go!
Fans: What have you done?!

I've stuck by and supported Super all this time, despite it being a very flawed series, and despite me not agreeing with everything it's done, but if it does a rehash of Broly, only as a female, my opinion of it will plummet to near catastrophic levels. To me, Broly is by far the worst thing to ever come out of the Dragon Ball franchise, and I can't stand how much attention this boring, one-dimensional trainwreck of a character gets. On top of that, some of his most hardcore fans are among the most insufferable people on the internet. There's also that stupid maximum power meme that's been used to death, and nowadays is just incredibly irritating.

That being said, since we know next to nothing about this new character, I'll reserve my judgement until we actually see what she's about. And I am actually glad we'll be getting a female Super Saiyan... I just wish her design was a lot more original. I get that Broly is one of Toei/Bandai Namco's biggest cash cows, but still, think outside the box a little bit more. There's so much potential when it comes to the design of a female Super Saiyan. If Heroes and fan manga can do it right, then why can't Toei and/or Toriyama?

In any case, my hype for the upcoming arc has lessened slightly, but I'm going to try and stay optimistic. Please, Super, don't let me down.

I imagine part of the reason for the Broly-like transformation for the female saiyan IS to do something a bit different from fanmanga and Heroes.

It's nice to finally have a female Super Saiyan...but I feel like the whole looking like Broli thing overshadows that :lol: I'm sure in the show it'll probably be used for contrast, like the girl is usually shy and quiet or something, but then she goes total berserker freakout mode when she transforms. I'm fine with the idea, but why oh why did it have to look like Broli?

This might be a bit weird, but I am shipping fem broly x gohan..
Just because the story I want isn't possible with Cabba if she is uni 6..

She is against gohan saying she doesn't want to have to fight and please give up! She dosen't want to kill any more men! Gohan says he can't, she says she is sorry closes her eyes and LSS is there, she Starts wreaking gohan, gohan goes SS but she is still stronger, he says he has no choice and becomes ultimate! She exclaims what can you do you are no longer even transformed in a maniac tone, but gohan one punches her in the stomach and she falls out of LSS into Gohan's arms..
Opens her eyes and gohan is holding her, she blushes and runs away..

I so want this to happen

Flabbergasted is my only word for this. On one hand, I'm a little dissapointed that they didn't give her a unique LSSJ form that was more feminine. On the other hand, holy crap it's female Broli!

What's the point of making Female Broly waifu if she is not going to be OP as fuck? She will probably steamroll everyone at the Tournament so Broly fans can get even more excited, then she'll probably be disqualified or something like that.

I bet she will be a very interesting character and she will give us a TON of Saiyan lore. I bet she is U6 King's daughter and he kept her incredible power hidden. In the preview it looked like she was suffering when transforming.
And we finally get the canon Legendary Super Saiyan transformation!

I'm fucking hyped.

Compared to this, I'd say a more feminine form wouldnt be as awesome. Especially since this is her battle form. Her base form is nice and feminine.
