Call me Blast, not Fedetropes

I say they're gonna retcon it cause they did retcon how blue works since it debuted in resurrection f (they also retconed the saiyan beyond god stuff), so I kinda expect here to be the same

Like, they retcon blue evolution so it has stamina problems (kinda like how blue started having stamina problems in the manga universe 6 arc)

I like both god and blue (I guess I like how these forms make saiyans more associated with fire)

Apparently the bowl cut person is named Beriblu, and she's a nurse.

Weird with how ugly and scary-looking her face is, but okay.

She stands alongside Freeza and Cold in that second trailer, so apparently she's important.

I saw some speculation that Freeza's a kid or adolescent in the first flashbacks and she's a really like his governess or nanny or wetnurse, which. Eww.

Seriously though why is Quitela so popular?
He gets under Beerus's skin.

I voted for Belmond/Vermoud. Destroys evil, took on all the other Gods at once, has an interesting relationship with his mortals, is clever enough to trick the other Gods several times during the exhibition match. His only issue is that his design is genuinely lazy and bad.

I was reading the Broly movie page on TV Tropes and noticed that Toriyama intended the movie to make so that Super Saiyan Blue is the max level Goku and Vegeta can attain at the moment. Aside from Goku having Ultra Instinct, how the fuck does he intend to explain Jiren's defeat in the manga? Also, did Vegeta go Beyond Blue in the manga??

Goku has already used UI in the manga, and it wore off before he could beat Jiren. Jiren's exhausted though and Goku/Vegeta are teaming up against him, the final chapter will likely be Goku/Freeza/17 teaming up to finish it

The manga is going to move straight into its version of the movie once it finishes the TOP, so it will likely use the completed SSB in its version of the fights. It's hard to say what will happen with Vegeta's evolved form.

I don't think it's ever been stated in any official capacity that Blue Kaioken and Blue Evolved aren't going to be in the movie. That's just kind of the general assumption people have, given that neither has appeared so far.

If marketing this movie were up to me, I'd keep both of them a secret and Goku and Vegeta would use them when fighting Legendary Super Saiyan Broly for some last-second hype moments before Gogeta.

I hope people understand that Blue Kaioken and Blue Evolution are still just variations of Blue, sooo...its not an incorrect statement to call them their highest levels.

Yeah, now that I think about it, you have a point, it be like calling the different grades of super saiyan new forms

Though I wonder what version of super this will be based off? Maybe it's a combination of the two

Surprised Geene hasn't gotten more votes in the poll. I always thought how he saw through the implications of the Grand Minister's practice match was a nice character moment.

[up][up][up][up][up][up] That song is lit as hell. I hope that if they dub it, they somehow squeeze in the lyrics "My skin is cold". tongue

[up] I've seen a few Geene fans here and there, though they are pretty few. I should probably expand the poll to more websites, so far I've only gotten results from 4 different forums. It'd be interesting to see what insight on some other types of sites lead to.

Anyone else really hates that official games and merchandise still use the name Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, when the whole joke with that name was that it was excessively long and cumbersome, and also because it was replaced in-universe shortly after its introduction with Super Saiyan Blue and they haven't used the old name since?

Like, you can say it's because of the iconic status of the name and marketing, but that didn't stop them from arbitrarily changing "Majin Vegeta" to "Prince of Destruction Vegeta".

It's probably because SSGSS is more accurate to what it actually is, being the 'proper' name to describe it while Super Saiyan Blue was created in-universe for the sake of convenience.

Okay, it was invented like a couple months earlier, as far as we know, no one else had ever achieved it. It didn't have a proper name, the inventors, Goku and Vegeta, get to decide what the proper name is. Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan is a repetitive and obnoxious mouthful, and they decided that Super Saiyan Blue is an easier and more descriptive name.

Super Saiyan God should have just been called "Saiyan God" and SSGSS be "Super Saiyan God".

Since that's basically what it is, going Super Saiyan via godly ki instead of regular ki.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

[up][up] It DOES have a proper name out of universe, the one Toriyama gave it. And even in-universe, it was called described in various sources as 'a Saiyan with the power of Super Saiyan God, as a Super Saiyan' and 'a Super Saiyan with the power of Super Saiyan God'.

It's also proper from the perspective of actually describing what the form is, being that Super Saiyan God + Super Saiyan.

It was first named Super Saiyan Blue in the manga, which also established that the name Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan was used in-universe before it.

[up] That would be much simpler if forethought had been put into it, and it'd also be much clearer about what SSG is because as it stands it seems entirely separate from the Super Saiyan forms.

You'd think Toriyama's laziness would apply to names.

Guy hates drawing tails and spots, but comes up with a long ass name like Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan.

Sure he replaced it, but why even come up with it in the first place?
