Is the Blanco meme a thing in Japan as well?

If not then its one Hell of a coincidence.

Toriyama said something along the lines of "SSB was going to be white, but it would clash with an upcoming villain" we now know the villain he was talking about was Zamasu. That was what started the Blanco meme. It didn't originate from the fans.

It's been said before, but Toriyama did want a white-haired form all the way since Resurrection F's production. Looks like his dream came true.

It's odd, but a lot of my goodwill for UI has vanished because of this.

You could stock a sentai team with different super saiyan hair colors by this point

Red, black, blue, yellow, pink, white... greenish yellow?

So Gohan Blanco was right, but for the wrong person. That is kinda amazing. That meme is never gonna die now.

I always assumed Gohan Blanco originated because Ultimate Gohan has that white aura going on.

Spoilers are circulating for the manga chapter, take this with a few grains of salt: the first chapter covers the first 5 minutes of the tournament, and Gohan, Krillin and 17 are all eliminated right off the bat.

Goku's version of Ultra Instinct was always a transformation, so if that's what you have a problem with I don't see why the change in hair color is the straw that broke the camel's back.

Simply put, because the specific aura change was a good idea, while the hair thing has been done to death. There's no other way of putting it. It's not a Super Saiyan transformation. It being an aura change made more sense. Changing the hair colour has been done before.

I guess it's because it resembles more to super saiyan god.

I'm not bothered by it.

Also has anybody done another one of those meme charts with the new info we got?

As long as the other races can use UI I don't have much problem with it.

Besides his hair looks a little different.

I don't have much issue with it, but it just being another hair color change with a fancy aura doesn't make it much different from every other Super Saiyan form now.

At least his hair staying black made it somewhat distinct.

It's still going to have the really cool different fighting style and animation, which was the main appeal of the form for me.

The animation & distinct fighting style is what nails the form after all.

Yay, another recolor...

I can sort of buy this one. Whis and all of the other angels have white/blondish hair. Goku having that white hair now makes it seem more apparent that he's reached a similar, or is at least approaching a similar level of power - since Toppo was GOD-tier and Jiren is better than him and Goku is probably going to be punching his face in.

Color theory and all that.

'Cept we don't know where Jiren and Toppo are in relation to Beerus, and Goku can't be at Whis's level of power unless he's at or around where Beerus is.

It seems like the only requirement for Ultra Instinct is getting wrecked and losing your shirt.
