This has been one Hell of a decade really.

Just Nappa at the moment, but I'm sure they will add more when the paid DLC drops. He does have Super Saiyan 3 in Heroes, it gives him a spike beard.

To be fair, we had Super Saiyan Barbock and it was only a matter of time before Nappa became a Super Saiyan.

Ribrianne being a teletubbie is not one of Dragon Ball's better ideas.

Guys let's be real. Look at all of the character designs Toriyama has made throughout his career. Is a Teletubby wearing a skirt really that out of place?

Indeed her irritating personality & annoying role in the plot is the problem not her design.

It definitely be looked more fondly upon if she were more likable.

Fu, by the way, is a nerdy darling. So glad he's more of a Chaotic Neutral type.

No, Kaiser's voice is a little deeper. It's close, though, I had to double-check.

He honestly sounds like a hipster.

Like he before he just had the look but now with that voice he has truly become the hipster of Dragon Ball.

So I just had a thought:

Remove Super Saiyan God, and Super Saiyan blue.

Bring in The fully mastered Ultra Instinct Form Goku is about to achieve soon (whatever it's name is) and make that Super Saiyan God.

Better yet. Make the unmastered Version an early version of Super Saiyan God, and the Mastered version essentially the fully perfected version ala Mastered Super Saiyan Blue from the manga.

Just keep Super Saiyan God a one time thing. Less egregious power scaling.

Or just call it Saiyan God.

Seriously it doesn't even look like a Super Saiyan, just an enhancement for your base form.

That is what I wanted to say but I meant to say the character, not the design and I have no problem with the design. I kind of get the intent behind Ribrianne but that doesn't make her better as she feels like an overly long gag that went on for too long.

Ribrianne's design itself is fine, but I don't like that she was made a magical girl parody due to the joke about her being more attractive before she transformed (and given Kuririn's comment, that was definitely the intention). I'm glad the anime seems to have just done away with the transforming aspect.

Her personality is also the main issue, yeah.

So I just had a thought:

Remove Super Saiyan God, and Super Saiyan blue.

Bring in The fully mastered Ultra Instinct Form Goku is about to achieve soon (whatever it's name is) and make that Super Saiyan God.

Better yet. Make the unmastered Version an early version of Super Saiyan God, and the Mastered version essentially the fully perfected version ala Mastered Super Saiyan Blue from the manga.

Like Yakuzu said, that doesn't work well. What do Goku and Vegeta do before they get full Super Saiyan God? What does Goku Black have? If Super Saiyan God is Full UI, what does Goku use against Beerus, and what does he use against Jiren before UI-God?

If Goku is going to have two forms anyway, you may as well just have Super Saiyan God (or SSGSS) and full UI.

I don't like the design of Super Saiyan God, so I'd prefer to just keep that in BOG, then have Goku learn to channel the power through Super Saiyan (without power escalation, just a convenient way to use the form) and work on the drawbacks of that form until getting UI (which has the appearance of Omen, and is the only form of it).

I just realized, Nappa getting Super Saiyan in Xenoverse 2 and Super Saiyan 3 in Heroes is a Hilarious in Hindsight for FighterZ, since they like to rag on Nappa about his inability to go Super Saiyan.

EDIT: SDBH Universe Mission's gameplay trailer came out:

  • One of the new stages looks like a futuristic slum.
  • Of the planets imprisoned, looks like Earth, Namek, Supreme Kai's World, Demon Realm and Baribari.
  • Gameplay of the Super God Class Avatars.
  • Prisoner Future Trunks' special is Super Masenko.
  • Goku has his attack from the second DBS opening.
  • Ultimate Dragon Fist seems to be a fusion of Movie 13 Dragon Fist and Kid Goku's Oozaru Fist.
  • UI Goku uses God Kamehameha to transform from Omen to Mastered.
  • SSB Evolution Vegeta shows off the Gamma Burst Flash.
  • Jiren has a new version of Power Impact that ends in a different pose.
  • Sora and Momochan (mascots of Heroes) are the announcers for the tournament.
  • Fu's special attack is his ultimate from Xenoverse 2.
  • 3 secret cards are coming!

I always imagined the Gamma Burst Flash being green. Probably because I'm associating 'gamma' with 'Hulk'.

It's weird to think that the climax of the Future Trunks arc marks the halfway point in Dragon Ball Super.
