@Gojira: No, its distinctly SSJ 2 in this episode; last episode, someone just fucked up and used his SSJ 1 style rather than his SSJ 2 style.

The main difference between the two forms aside from the sparks, is the hair is much wild and spiky, and in Goku's case, his stands more on end.

Well that's because what it is lol. Its not like Super Saiyan 2 is another form entirely, its an upgrade to the standard Super Saiyan form is all.

Usually characters just inexplicably know what the form is and calls it that, there's never any convenience when it comes to reference.

The man named black barely understands humans and you want him to automatically know the different saiyan super modes?

Yes. Since he has some sort of grudge against saiyans, maybe he should do some basic history lessons...he's got the time.

That and he's fought Trunks before, who probably used both forms against him.

Black doesn't seem to hold a grudge against Saiyans. He's indifferent towards Vegeta and has nothing but respect towards Goku. The only Saiyan he actively dislikes is Trunks and he was willing to settle on trapping Trunks in the past instead of killing him. In fact, when he isn't killing something, Black's general attitude is indifference or mild curiosity.

Trunks called it a "Super Saiyan Beyond a Super Saiyan," the same name Goku used when he showed off SSJ2 to Buu and Babidi.

The Funi English dub intermittently referred to it as an "Ascended Saiyan", but it didn't really catch on. When SSJ3 was introduced, they just went with Super Saiyan 2.

I mean, the story has a point - without Super Saiyan 3, there's no need to call the lower form Super Saiyan 2. It's just "Super Saiyan, but stronger". I'm assuming that's why Black is mistaking it for Super Saiyan?

It's actually kind of realistic. We've known the names of these forms for years, but Trunks and Black don't. They just assume it's still the power of a Super Saiyan. Not some separate form that needs a different naming scheme.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

She certainly has a meganekko thing going on there, even if slightly.

Though someone as evil and smart as Towa fused with someone as crazy and kind-hearted as Arale would make the weirdest mish-mash.

I wonder if you can fuse Legendary Oozary Broly with other giant characters...

I think they're going off of what Toriyama said. Super Saiyan 2 and 3 are just extensions of a regular Super Saiyan, not new forms.

Also, Goku is the one who named Super Saiyan 2 and 3. Before, Super Saiyan 2 was called an Ascended Super Saiyan, or a Super Saiyan beyond Super Super. Goku shortened it to Super Saiyan 2 for Buu and Babidi. He then transformed and said he called the form Super Saiyan 3. Krillin even jokingly called Super Saiyan 3 double ascended.

I wonder how it'd look if Carrot stopped midway during the transition to SSJ3...

Almost...but, Carrot with a mullet...uh, that'd certainly look interesting.

Would it look anywhere near as good as SSJ4 Vegetarian's mullet? I don't think so, he could actually pull it off and still look somewhat cool.

Thing about Dragon Ball: you could have any hair style and color and it'd look cool. A new form could change the hair into a green mohawk and it would still look badass.
