[up] That could work, she fits the theme of childlike supreme rulers I could also see Xeno and Chronoa as the new commentary duo being super adorable.

I do love how they gave Vegeta this new transformation that clearly doesn't matter, and since Super is ending, might not ever matter. It's pretty funny.

I do hope there's a bit more to beating Jiren than just Goku going Ultra Instinct again, but I'm not sure what that could be. Still kind of wish father-son tag team on him happened, but I figured that was a longshot from the beginning.

It's not even that visually distinct from Super Saiyan Blue.

I mean, it's essentially SSJ 2 for Blue, just with lightning aura replaced with glitter aura.

[up] It bugged the heck out of my friend when I called them that. Probably because I don't usually use the word "Moe" around him very often. And I'm sure "Super Ending" is actually just going to result in a rebranded show that's basically Super in everything but name. Maybe "Dragon Ball Ultra".

Except they said they aren't sure what they're doing next, only that there will probably some DB project in the future.

[up][up]

Masako-X's review of 125 has a screenshot of Vegeta Blue beside Goku in SSB, and the shade of blue used is definitely different.

[up][up] I'm not saying that's their plan, I'm saying that's probably what's going to happen. There's way too much story left for them to end it here. The Universe 6 tour, the 4 other universes, the kid's development, whatever becomes of Frieza and Goku's deal.... Yamcha and Buu mini-arc... maybe?

Either they will continue it, or will be just advertised without a clear resolution, just like Captain Phasma.

I wouldn't even call this Super Saiyan 2 Blue. This looks like the blue version of what Vegeta pulled against semi-perfect Cell. For some reason Toei likes Super Vegeta, like the Xenoverse devs.

Convenient how the post blatantly ignores all the parts where Super's characterization is at complete odds with Z's 🤔

[up][up] What, were you expecting someone on the internet to honestly look at the situation for what's really there instead of cherrypicking the stuff that supports their initial opinion?

To be fair, Goku is Super is less a direct continuation of his characterization in Z, and more of how Toriyama wanted him to be, and even then the latter opinion seems to have been shaped by the length of time he spent away from the Dragonball franchise.

You mean I can use the internet for discussion and not solely for validating my opinions? Why would I want to do that? People might tell me I'm wrong. And I'm never wrong!

Being accurate to the Z anime wouldn't be being accurate to Goku's character anyway...

Remember that time Goku was some messiah figure in the Cooler movie surrounded by woodland animals and shit.

And the dub wasn't responsible for that.

Heck, Goku made the Super Saiyan messiah speech in the original manga from what I remember, the dub just amped it a little.

[up][up] No, he didn't. He had a speech but it wasn't messaic at all.

It was explaining who he was, announcing he was a Super Saiyan, and mocking Freeza

The English Super Saiyan dub speech was definitely "Messianic" ("I am the hope of the universe, I am truth", etc.)

The same speech in the Kai dub was rewritten to be closer to the Japanese though.
