(Sorry if this was posted elsewhere and I didn't notice)

So as you can't all tell I'm quite the Dragon Ball (Z, Not GT) Fan and I was informed of some interesting news today, for those who care that is, regarding the new movie. As most people who enjoy Dragon ball know the movie was already confirmed to be the canon sequel to the Buu Saga which already made fans quite happy that the next chapter in Dragon Ball would fit into the continuity.

Anyway I'm just going to post the news before I continue to ramble. Apparently there is going to be a brand new Super Saiyan form included in this movie. What is this form? 'Super Saiyan God'. Now although this transformation sounds extremely lame it will probably be named something different in the US release. The transformation also helps the title of the movie make a little more sense considering the japanese name of the movie translates to Dragon Ball Z: God and God.

My opinion on this little bit of news is that if this form is included we can pretty much safely say that Dragon ball GT can be wiped out of the Dragon Ball series continuity and class it as a gigantic 'What If?'.

Anyway here's a picture of the supposed transformation. All we can really make out is that Goku doesn't magically lose his clothes and doesn't turn into a man-ape either, GT I'm looking at you.


Here's a link to a larger version of the above picture:

I know it's not a very good picture but it's all we have. If the thread gets any sort of discussion going about the possibilities of this transformation I'll make sure to update it when and if we get a clearer picture.

Warning: Spoilers inside!

Some info I ran into says that to use the transformation he needs the power of 6 Saiyans which means that this transformation is probably a one off. So for you GT fans I guess you guys have won this battle... but the war isn't over yet..

 

Have they confirmed a US release?

 

It's confirmed to be coming out in the US but a date hasn't been set yet.

 

he is real super sand legend

 

This would be the only thing that'd make sense honestly. Placing this 'God' form as weaker than SSJ4 would be the only way GT could fit into the continuity.

But if that's not the case and God form is indeed the supposed final Super Saiyan transformation I'm fine with GT being completely negated and classed as a what if.

 

It's probably just Akira Toriyama's way of removing GT from the official continuity. Although he oversaw GT and came up with a few character designs he's never actually confirmed it to be Canon and most fans don't consider it to be canon either considering it wasn't adapted from the manga.

 

Has anyone noticed a few continuity errors? Like Android 18's hair being purple, Gohan being super Saiyan in one trailer (which he can no longer do) and then in Mystic form in today's trailer? Also, Krillin and Gohan keep changing haircuts each trailer as well. Although, this is just me being overly nitpicky/nerdy on the subject.
