Heroes has, at least, given us some cool "official" looks at stuff like a teenage/young adult Gotenks and such

Oh, and female SSJ, long before Kale and Caulifla.

Ultra Instinct is so much better than SSJ4 it isn't even funny.'

I mean it helps that it's basically Goku + some shiny effects but still.

SS4 is more visually interesting and ties better with the Saiyan lore than just having them change hair colors. SSGod was bad enough but Rosé was the straw that broke the camel's back.

This means literally the opposite considering it will be about changing hair colors and the most recent Saiyan stuff involves Saiyans who don't have tails or turn into giant apes.

I'm bad and I like SSj4's look, but hated the mustard pants, so I'm shameless further when I see the new outfit and think it looks way the gently caress better on Goku, with my final caveat asking that the hair color either be a much darker red rather than SSG salmon, or just be Gogeta brown, and call the drat thing Super Saiyan Oozaru

I'm glad Heroes is having its own fun dumping ground of insane what-ifs that Xenoverse isn't brave enough to indulge in

Is that SSJ4 Goku and Bardock being chased by LSSJ4-Shadow Dragon-Time Breaker Broly Black?

I can't believe I semi-seriously typed those words.

While it was already said that yes, it's that, I need to point out that the former is Goku: Xeno and, most importantly, the latter is officially called "Broly Dark".

Also I agree with the pro-Super Saiyan 4 comments and the anti-GT Goku pants comments. Xeno Goku pulls off the look so much better by merely changing the pants, it's ridiculous. Xeno Vegeta...looks interesting with armour on top of the SS4 form.

Anyways, here's all the openings from Heroes if anyone has an hour free, they're good and interesting.

And the movie isn't confirmed to be about Yamoshi, it's about "the origins of the Saiyan race" but that's all we know. It'll likely be about Yamoshi though.

I prefer the concept of God than 4 though, since God is supposed to be about complete control, while 4 is essentially the untapped beast within. Especially if you compare the reasons behind both of them. I don't think anyone ever wants to rewatch how Goku got his tail back.

Black August

I think SSj4 Vegeta with full armor on is a good look. Kind of makes him look like a savage and a villain again, so it feels like power without having to blow up the chroma.

EDIT: God is a really neat form. I wish it had become more of a default with Blue coming much later, so both Goku and Vegeta could cruise crimson and doing the fire theme for a while.

Speaking of Super Saiyan and GT, I have to wonder what Pan could have done. I mean, she never got to do it, yes, but Perfect Files mentioned something about her potentially having access to a form of SSJ never seen before. What the heck would that have been?

At least Xeno Goku in that form has a proper Monkey King vibe going for him with the costume, which is a neat end to imagine for some incarnation of him; just the colors and distinction could use some work.

I always enjoyed the idea of SSj4 being SSj3 but without any real limit on it. poo poo like Kamehamehax10. Just idiot levels of strength and output over any idea of control.

but yeah in my own way I've made peace with the slush puppy lineup of divine ki color customs and further-beyond-beyonds, so lesse what poo poo Gohan pulls out of his rear end before this ends and Goku wins with the admittedly awesome and fresh Akuma Mode Ocean Commotion Scent

She's Gohan's daughter, Goku's grandkid, and the daughter of a woman who showed incredible ki control and promise before being unfortunately forced off the stage. She went Super Saiyan in utero during a God-creation ritual. Pan could be what Gohan didn't want to be, the kind of hellish prodigy that's raging SSj3 on her own by the time she's 13.

GT was cursed and doomed her to never be anything but a creepy pedo object. She should have been tearing her headscarf off from popping yellow too often and making Trunks compete for the next Goku/Vegeta rivalry as they raged across the hellscape universe with a kid Goku constantly limited by his child body from being the only one to win. Maybe Super or a sequel will let her shine like it's seeming to promise.

If SSJ4 didn't have that weird pec window and the red-eyeliner, it would have looked fine. Instead, it's the most bad 90s anime design ever.

If they go the revive and mash all the universes into one route, they should make a Dragon Ball Super GT.

You even have the U6 Saiyans to act as rivals and pseudo-villains depending on the situation. Caulifla and Kale are already in place as extreme prodigies (being U6 Goku and Broly), giving someone like Pan a goal to surpass. Throw Bulla in there along with Goten and Trunks and Uub. Have Vegeta graduate to Destroyer like might be hinted as happening eventually, so he can be a story trump card or somesuch. There's just a whole drat lot you could do for a post-EoZ deal if you want to rip GT apart with a much much stronger background set up for the cosmology.

Seems to be what they'll do next to the point where not doing it feels more like it'd be faux-clever rather than a subversion. There might be an interlude or something of course but all the pieces are there and we haven't had a classic Ball Chase in decades.

Super Saiyan 4 is overdesigned and not super appealing but I think it was the right move to have a transformation that was noticeably different from previous forms and had some ideas behind it beyond just it's the previous super saiyan form but slightly moreso. It's not the worst saiyan form in the series.

Super did that idea better though with Ultra Instinct. As it was a transformation that wasn't super saiyan at all and it's striking but also real simple and that helps it a lot.

If you ask me, Ultra Instinct pretty much is Super's take and answer to the idea of Super Saiyan 4. The hair is sort of similar, the eyes do a neat thing, there's the idea of something a little more savage and primal with motions and the voice, and it's not much like any other transformation. UI just does away with a lot of the extraneous detail by keeping it base Goku in design style, and focusing on making it genuinely different and clearly more powerful with how it effortlessly bypasses all the usual fighting styles of the entire show's span.
