I would be cool with them just using SSJ1 or 2 from now on those those forms look fine and are what DBZ is pretty much known for. SSJ3 and SSJ4 look lovely. Hate on SSJ God and blue hair all you want, those forms look a whole lot better than SSJ3 and 4.

I'm not entirely sure how anyone can say God looks good. It makes Goku look anorexic. The sheer loss in muscle plus the big anime eyes makes him impossible to take seriously too.

Super Saiyan 3 looks awful too, but in a "maybe he went a bit too far" way. Super Saiyan God looks weak. If I saw a person like that in real life, I'd tell them to please eat a bit more.

Also I always liked Super Saiyan 4, as non-canon as it is. The hair and eyes make Goku/Vegeta look threatening as hell, and the idea of a controlled Great Ape is probably what the Super Saiyan should've been to begin with. The chest hair doesn't annoy me, either.

It makes him look away more in line with Toriyama's usual non-DBZ art which is instantly better than anything else. Seriously that cast page earlier was fantastic. Also if you can buy the fact that Beerus is super scary and powerful while looking like a skinny hairless cat you can buy that Goku doesn't need massive muscles to be a tough guy.

Because he's using God Kai, just like Beerus, who is even more sickly and weak looking.

The first time Goku transforms, he's trying to stall Buu. He goes through all three Super forms in order, and even shows off different ways to transform. After that he's transforming to fight so he's not going to waste time.

There has yet to be a single Saiyan form I don't like...with the possible exception of the Fake Super Saiyan from the Lord Slug movie. 1 and 2 are a bit too similar, yeah, but a lot of fanart I see of SSJ2 goes out of its way to emphasize the extra-spikey hair and/or lightning arcs. SSJ3 really goes whole-hog with the primal fury thing, what with the browline and extra hair. My only complaint about SSJ4 is that it doesn't really flow, designwise, with the rest of the forms, but I really like it otherwise. The fur and beastly look really work for me, plus the return of the tail is a nice touch. God form, I dunno, I just really like the slim and trim look to it. Its not about blinding golden radiance, its instead more elegant, with a smoothly flowing aura and the like.

I didn't like the first god form, but I love the new blue version. It manages to be even cooler then SSJ4, formally the coolest.

RE: Super forms. I liked SS4 for similar reasons as posted above, it looks vaguely threatening but the idea of a fully controlled Oozoru form without the bulk seems very fitting.

I also like SSG because its going away from "Maximum muscles." and into something new, i like new things. Blue Super form hair with the leaner physique would be fine with me.

SS4 is pretty stupid but the Big Bang Kamehameha and its x100 variant (along with its cousin the Kamehameha x10) are all rad as heck. More moves should get multipliers. Have Gohan kill a Frieza Soldier with a Masenko x25.

I like SSJ4 more than SSG although I could do without the fur. Also those redesigns look flat and not suited for high speed heavy hitting punch kicking in the slightest. I kind of hate how Vegeta looks in particular.

Not quite. From what I understood, Whis tells Vegeta that he thinks way too much, yes. But then he tells Goku that he thinks far too little. He's telling them to find a middle point, not think every move (Vegeta), allow their bodies to move on their own but also don't be ridiculously relaxed in a fight (Goku).

My personal theory on SSJ3 is that is was some kind of supernatural form of the transformation, something that only supernatural being, like ghosts or fusions can archive. I mean, Goku technically used it after he got back to life, but since he was revived with divine life energy, I think the theory still holds.

Doesn't the revised ending of the manga imply Vegeta can do it though?

Goku manages to outdo his past self all the time and remains pretty relaxed about it. Vegeta should take notes.

In the broad clinical sense, Vegeta represents the neurotic (inwardly focused) while Goku represents the psychotic (outwardly focused). (So Vegetto is a borderline. Yikes.)

These Penguin Village episodes remind me that I need to either read or watch Dr Slump at some point, it's always looked like Toriyama's insanity with absolutely no filters. No idea whether people like the original or remake more though.

E: Sour Man good lord. Also the voice acting is really "whoever was in the office that day" for the Penguin Village characters.

That's a legit, good question. Super Kamehameha Wave, Feet Kamehameha Wave, Super Sayian, Super Sayian 3, The Chest Burster, Super Dragon Fist...I know there is more, but I can't think of them.

I'll retract Super Sayian, but I think he legit invented Super Sayian 3. While there was the ancient, legendary Super Sayian, he was likely the first Super Sayian 3 ever and was the one who discovered the ability.

Yeah, I know. I'm just... saiyan.

Going by skills they were the first in the universe to invent, you'll probably find nothing. Some dude had probably figured out Destructo Disk before Krillin did. It's still probably his most standout move that he doesn't really share with anyone else in the crew.

I guess Kaioken for Goku could count as well, but.

That's kind of beside the point. Krillin thinking and experimenting with how to use his ki then coming up with "hey could I turn it into a sawblade?" is a hell of a lot different than "I know, I'll do a kamehameha... but I'll make it like super strong."

Point is, Vegeta puts considerably more thought into how to use his powers than Goku, who just kind of jumps into battle and runs with it.
