Dont judge me, I design your manhole
It took a while for Super Saiyan Rage to get a name, and have they ever given Kale's controlled Broly form an official name? I know at some point they called her huge form Berserker, but the only instance of calling it anything was an episode preview that may not have even been more than a reference.

Point is I figure it's only a matter of time before they give it an actual name. Hell, Super Saiyan 2 didn't even have a name until 3 was in the picture. They called it a form beyond Super Sayian Blue, so I just see it as a Blue 2 or whatever.

What? Yes they did. That was named in-series too. The Vegeta bulky form is Super Saiyan Second Grade, the Trunks one is Super Saiyan Third Grade. Goku namedrops them when he shows them to Gohan in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and points out why they should not use them.

Heroes tends to use "Power Weighted/Stressed" for those forms, apparently, and Supersonic Warriors used Super Saiyan 1.5 for Trunks', not to mention Super Vegeta/Super Trunks (Vegeta actually calls his version Super Vegeta in-series, of course, so that's canon), but Goku's given names for them (I think used in the Daizenshuu as well) are those.

Nope. it still lacks a name. Goku calls Kale a "True Legendary Super Saiyan" in the episode preview so DB wiki went with that but we don't have any real names for it. Sadly, due to Broly popularity, Kale has only ever appeared in her base and Berserk states in the usual source for names (Heroes, but also Dokkan Battle).

Also it's Super Saiyan Anger, not Rage. Rage was a mistranslation, the Heroes site writes the form's name in English as "saiya anger" in the URL.

Not quite correct, I'm afraid. "Limit-Breaking Prince" is the name of an ability, not a form. That's the same confusion that led people to think UI -Sign- was called "Limit Breaking Super Saiyan" since Goku's newest card at the time had that ability, but instead it was just that, a transformation ability that let him become Super Saiyan Blue: Kaio-ken x20.

The only real transformation was when Mr. Satan became a God to beat the God of Destruction Beebus.

Krillin was winning against Super Saiyan Goku though. In a fight where strategy matters, Krillin is worlds above Goku with that kind of power difference.

He had literally no chance against Blue though, as 18 points out, no amount of strategy can close THAT gap.

goku shows them off but he absolutely does not name them and this second/third grade thing never happens in the manga or the anime so idk where you're getting it from

all they say is that it's a step beyond super saiyan. nobody ever gives it a name

All characters are now much much weaker and much much stronger than they used to be. Roshi will fight ten super saiyans at once while Vegeta has to jog across the battlefield with his arms out like he's an aeroplane.

Luckily none of this matters and will have no lasting impact. It's just filler.

The downside of writing scripts based on short outlines instead of full comic books. They have to fill a lot of screentime while having little control over the story.

So I'm up to Gero and 21 showing up, and Vegeta's hair is still brown as gently caress 80% of the time. Either I'm misremembering it being always black after the Saiyan saga in OG DBZ, or something about remastering it for Kai has made the brown more noticable in later arcs than it was originally.

This pleases me.

e: also those valentine panels are adorable

e2: also unless they're using it somewhere else for some reason, did Kai seriously cut Vegeta crying himself to SSJ? smdh

He was undeniably #1 until Super, where Vegeta eventually surpassed him by adopting Cabba and the entire U6 saiyan race by extention. Piccolo is World's Best Grandpa though, narrowly edging out newcomer Mr. Satan.
