I only really notice it with Vegeta, 17, and 18, who look rather gonk-y as a result.

[up][up] Ssshhh! Don't say that! The Vegeta, #17 and #18 fan bases will eat you alive! Those three character are considered very pretty. And as far as criticizing their looks go, their considered Unacceptable Targets among the Dragon Ball fandom.

Ya know, if there's ever a level beyond SSJG. I'd have a feeling it'd be like a reddish or yellowish Dr. Manhattan-esque form.

For Super Saiyan 1 and 2, I stopped looking for differences in the hair. I look for the blue lightning. If there's blue lightning in the aura, it's Super Saiyan 2.

[up][up][up] How many forms until we hit Super Saiyan Buu?

EDIT: Super Saiyan Popo comes in black and blue variants. Goku and Gohan choose blue because it's a politer color, but Vegeta goes black because he's racist he's a traditionalist.

Super Sayain 1 Goku: Upwards hair, longer spiked out hair, slightly leans back, and multiple bangs to cover the forehead.

Super Sayain 2 Goku: Hair is pretty much the same, just straight up, there's a little more hair spiked out making them shorter, and only 3 bangs...with one in the forehead area.

I can't really get any comparisons with Vegeta.

So am the only one who noticed that Super Saiyan 2 Goku's skin seems to be glowing on its own.

It's because of the blue lightning and the more intense aura.

I like when a change is subtle, yet easily noticeable. That is true for the distinction between SS and SS 2.

The sparks aren't really a sign. Particularly powerful base or Super saiyans will temporarily get sparks, but that doesn't make them SS-2. Similarly, when SS-2s don't have an aura (i.e. the majority of the time) or get injured/fatigued enough even with an aura, they lose their sparks. Aura shape might not mean much either, as Toriyama gives whatever aura to whoever he wants (see Piccolo randomly getting a SS aura, or Trunks' aura changing from a Super Saiyan one to a SS-2-esque one after the Cell Games). The hair is the only consistent difference.

Some new DBH gameplay. About 8 minutes in or so, it seems another unannounced transformation was confirmed: Final Form Kuriza!

Also, sorry for the noise, this was filmed off-camera at an arcade.

I like that the Saiyan team has Baby Vegeta and Vegito on the same team, while the villain team has Frieza and Mecha-Frieza.

OFF TOPIC: Is anyone going to buy the colored version of the manga? Me, I'm actually considering it, because although I haven't read everything, I wouldn't mind having the colored version since you can actually read the black and white one for free.

I would if they sold any manga near me. The nearest place is almost outside town!

[up] You know you can buy them online, right? I'm deciding to buy mine digitally, because my house is too small to store books tongue. I'm also trying to reinforce my habit of reading.

I've decided to start reading the manga from the beginning of the original series anyway.

Eh, I only digitally buy things when it's necessary, but I'll think about it.

I only just finished collecting the manga itself, so I'm not sure I want to buy the coloured release. If it had re-translated dialogue it'd be an immediate purchase for me.

Huh, according to this, they gave Adult Gotenks SSJ-2. I'm sure that's new.

It was only logical, given that he can go to SSJ3.
