Would Super Saiyan GOD Vegeta have Red or Blue hair?

Post by PhoenixEX » Sat Jun 29, 2013 9:23 am

Would Toriyama draw him with blue hair to match his color? Like Goku is red, Vegeta is blue, Piccolo is green, etc.
Or does the red hair actually mean something? I don't know much about the transformation so I was wondering if someone could enlighten me on that, if the red means something of course.

Toriyama was asked why SSJG has red hair. :)

Tell us why the hair color of Super Saiyan God is red!
Simply because it’s a strong-looking color. I had already used gold, and blue doesn’t look very strong. Visually-speaking, red really is easy to understand.

... I really don't get the question. SSG is red. Why would it be different for Vegeta? How come Vegeta's color is blue and Piccolo's green? Base Saiyan hair is black, SS is yellow and SSG is red.

I'd imagine Vegeta's God hair forming into somewhat of a magenta coloured bob-cut with orange highlights. Maybe he'd have a couple of ribbons in there too.

I am okay with this. Especially if those ribbons tie the sides of his hair off into tsundere pigtails. It would make it all the more perfect when he dashes in to save Goku.

"D-Don't get the wrong idea, Kakarot, it's not like I care about you or anything! I just won't let anyone else finish you off!"

All jokes aside, I'm assuming that if we ever see more people in this form - be it via another movie, or be it a what-if thing in games (could totally see Heroes doing it) - that it will be red to keep consistency. If it isn't though, and they gave Vegeta blue hair, I would be surprised of course but I'd also be perfectly okay with it. Some of the fan-art renderings of that idea looked pretty good to me.

I don't even want to entertain the thought of Super Saiyan God Vegeta. Not everyone has to be in every form.

Why? I agree everyone shouldn't have every form, but SSJ God Vegeta isn't the worst thing ever. SSJ3 Mirai Gohan is :thumbup: . As for the question, Iv'e seen both red and blue on Vegeta, I'm not sure which I prefer, though I'm leaning toward red:

Tsundere Vegeta is fun, I have to admit. XD

For Vegeta's ssjg colors though I currently prefer blue if only for color variety. I know it may end up looking sentai-ish, but I prefer that over another group of all the sameness. Ssj4 does some of that by giving everyone slightly different color schemes.

I think I'd like Super Saiyan God to be re-visited, just once, but purely to tie it away for good.

I think it would be beneficial for there to be some kind of 'you can only ever be a Super Saiyan God once' rule along with a 'only pure-blooded Saiyans can become a Super Saiyan God' clause. I think that, as a form, it seems far too powerful and was only invented as a dramatic device for the purpose of the Battle of Gods plot.

If we're going by Toei logic it will probably be something that is never mentioned again, and in future situations where Goku and Vegeta are getting the snot kicked out of them it simply wont be brought up in the narrative, whilst the audience collectively screams at the screen: "Why not just go Super Saiyan God?"

I think that getting rid of the form would therefore be beneficial, which in regard to the concept that I suggest, would mean that Vegeta would have to become a Super Saiyan God at some point.

Super Saiyan God - Possible Colors?

Post by KentalSSJ6 » Sat Oct 05, 2013 10:50 am

So we know while Goku is in SSJG, his hair and eyes become red. The question is do you all think the colors could vary from person to person? Even Vegeta's Japanese voice actor wants a blue SSJG Vegeta so, what colors do you think would work with SSJG? I remember one of our users here has a image of a green SSJG Gohan.

I personally think white or purple could work.

Definitely agree with blue for Vegeta and turquoise/green for Gohan.

Trunks gets purple and Goten yellow or orange.

I used to be all for different colors for Super Saiyan God back during my "it looks like Kaio-ken" phase, but I no longer feel it should have them. Now, at most, I feel it would take the Super Saiyan 4 route and give everyone different shades of red.

Did Horikawa really say that?

I have no idea what they'll do with the transformation. If they use it on every existing saiyan, i think it will completely ruin the original Super Saiyan concept, but these color ideas really sound cool.

Gotta say orange kinda works on him, thought that image of the green one remains my favorite, think Elyas11 did it.

Kaio ken is red and that is training from a god.
Super saiyan god is red so that line of reasoning still seems to apply.
Toriyama in one of the interviews from the colorized manga:
http://www.kanzenshuu.com/translations/ ... -toriyama/
"Tell us why the hair color of Super Saiyan God is red!
Simply because it’s a strong-looking color. I had already used gold, and blue doesn’t look very strong. Visually-speaking, red really is easy to understand."

So me personally, I hope it stays red and between Goku and Vegeta, I don't care about Gohan. If Gohan gets a diff power up that'd be cool but I'd much rather see something from Piccolo or Gotenks to get them on Goku and hopefully Vegeta's level

Gotenks and Gohan are already above Goku and Vegeta. Giving them SSJ God would make Goku and Vegeta look like trash again. I'd just like it if Goku and Vegeta were the only ones to get it. I wouldn't mind Gohan too much though.

Yes, Dbzfan7 showed Ryo Horikawa these 2 pictures:

and Horikawa said he liked the blue one. I too really like the blue, and here's one pic I really like:

To clarify my statement above, regardless, of conflicting opinions regarding the manga and ultimate Gohan, towards the end of Battle of Gods Beerus says that Goku absorbed the godlike power of Super Saiyan God; and during the middle portion of the movie when Vegeta and Beerus fought, Vegeta did far better against Beerus than Ultimate Gohan or Gotenks...so yeah.

Back on topic: if there is diff hair colors per transformation that just seems not dragon ball z, each person is unique but not their individual transformation as far as coloring goes (yeah they get diff hairstyles). Having different looks per transfromation as in coloring is like Super Saiyan 4 stuff from GT :|

The Battle of Gods website also says Gohan has greater potential that any Saiyan. Vegeta wasn't stronger, he just caught Beers off guard. The popular counterargument for Gohan's uselessness is also that he was intoxicated. Goku absorbed the power for the fight, it's never mentioned whether he kept the power or not. Until that is clarified, Gotenks and Gohan > Goku and Vegeta.

Can you please try and stay on topic rather than bringing up your in universe opinions every chance you get? And if not ,then please remember that in the manga the Elder Kaioshin explained he took Gohan's hidden power and drew it way, way out above his limits...so that would mean Gohan's already past full potential lol :lol: :lol: :lol: ...but Gohan most likely will get stronger if the series were to continue...'he's what Toriyama says he is not whatever over analysis fans come up with. Dude there is no rhyme or reason to it, the series is pure entertainment all of it just goes on the whim of the author. Please do not make what could be a very enjoyable franchise discussion into an in universe debate. In an effort to stem the tide, I would like to get us back on topic.

Back on topic: What do you or anyone else think about changing the coloring being more like a GT thing? In Z they all have diff hairstyles, having different looks in terms of hairstyle AND coloring per transfromation seems like Super Saiyan 4 stuff from GT :|

Yeah that would be me. I met with Horikawa several times over the 3 day period at Anime North while other members got an even greater gift of the East meets West. I showed him the two pictures Ozaru posted below at his E-manga panel and he said he liked the Blue design better for Vegeta.

Anyways I would definitely like to see different colors or at least different shades of red like Devilcorpse said. For Gohan I would take what my avatar shows or White with silver eyes as SSJG's eye color is usually darker than the hair color.
