Name
Following the transformation's in-universe debut in Dragon Ball Super episode 123, the first instance of it being assigned a formal name came via a late-February 2018 stream from Bandai Namco promoting the then-upcoming "Universe Mission" update to the Super Dragon Ball Heroes arcade game, where the text on-screen referred to it as 超サイヤ人ゴッドSS進化 (Sūpā Saiyajin Goddo Sūpā Saiyajin Shinka or "Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Evolution").[1]
The footage was publicly uploaded to the "Dragon Ball Heroes Official Channel" on YouTube within the "Universe Mission 1: How To Play" video 07 March 2018.[2]
The official Dragon Ball Heroes website lists the form's name with an interpunct as 超サイヤ人ゴッドSS・進化 (Sūpā Saiyajin Goddo Sūpā Saiyajin・Shinka or "Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan: Evolution").
In an interview entitled "The Artisans Who Made the Universe Survival Arc of Dragon Ball Super, Now Reaching Its Climax" posted 09 March 2018 to the Dragon Ball Official Site, a caption below a respective screen of Vegeta in the form likewise labeled it with the interpunct as 超サイヤ人ゴッド超サイヤ人・進化 (Sūpā Saiyajin Goddo Sūpā Saiyajin・Shinka or "Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan: Evolution").[3]
Promotion
In the (15-second) television broadcast version of the Dragon Ball Super episode 123 next-episode-preview attached to episode 122, Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Evolution is not explicitly shown on-screen, but is alluded to in narration as Vegeta awakening to, "...an amazin' power even beyond Super Saiyan Blue!" Episode 122 also begins the run of OnePixcel's "LAGRIMA" as the series' ending theme song, which ends with a framing of Vegeta and Son Goku atop a group shot, each showing hints of on-going/forthcoming transformations.
The full-length (30-second) next-episode-preview for Dragon Ball Super episode 123 ends with a shot of Vegeta in Super Saiyan Blue Evolution standing alongside Son Goku using Kaiō-Ken on top of Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan.[4]
