While the official name for Vegeta's super form is "Super Saiyan Blue Evolution", I prefer to called it: "Royal Blue Vegeta".

Björn Rosengren

I think it's called "Ascended Super Saiyan Blue" in the fandom community. Basically a buffed up version of SSB.

Super Saiyan Royal Blue works 🙂

I always liked the idea of it being “Royal Blue” since it’s kinda that deeper blue color plus he’s the Prince after all

💀 "Super Saiyan Sapphire" 💀

more like 1.5 but i get what you mean.

instant transmission once activated is instant but Goku still needs to lock onto an energy source and then place his fingers on his head. when the opponent is jiren, someone who literally was stated by Belmod to surpass time itself Instant isn't really much of a feat anymore. It would have been cool for them to do a scene similar to the Return of Cooler movie where they fight inside of instant transmission.

Couldn't he use Jiren's energy?

Vinayak Murthy

Goku can't always use instant transmission to keep himself from getting knocked out of the Ring especially as we get towards the Business end of the Tournament coz Instant transmission requires Goku to latch onto someone's energy in order to teleport and towards the Business end if Goku and Jiren are the only two fighters remaining in the Ring ,he has no one's energy to latch onto and teleport himself back into the Ring

I’ve been so excited for this Vegeta moment, it’s so bad ass, it’s super Vegeta blue in my head canon lol

Quan Nguyen

Freeza is a top tier titan in the game of trash talk

Nate Terry

Vegeta's new form is basically the equivalent of Super Saiyan 2 but God energy. or maybe more accurately, the form Vegeta had way back in the Cell saga when he came out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and was ascended but with God energy. my favorite line of the entire T.O.P. arc from Frieza: "A Top-Tier-Titan like myself..."

J Sal

Yep, enter Super Saiyan Blue Evolution Vegeta (or some would like to call, Royal Blue Vegeta)!! Such a beautiful transformation, and I just love how the creators decided to give Vegeta another route rather than give him Ultra Instinct, which the creators could've easily done, but that's not who Vegeta is

Cynergy

I thought it was a missed opportunity that 17 didn’t allow himself to be knocked out with Top, I know that it would mean that U7 would have been down 4 ppl, but considering how big of a threat Top was, it would have been worth losing one of our guys 🤷🏽‍♀️ Vegetas new transformation has finally been revealed, I personally think it’s very fitting that his ki is the colour of royal blue, very princely. The transformation is meant to be equal to Gokus SSJ Blue with Kaioken but I’m more ecstatic that Vegeta has gotten his own separate power up and can only hope he ventures down a different path to power, separate from Gokus.

Shawn Smith

Ah yes, Vegeta's Super Saiyan Blue(er)!

Asuka Yousei 妖精帝國

i love nothing more than when vegeta and goku are forced to work together. Other than jiren anyone else wouldn't last against those two lol

Hayden Morris

Congrats, you've discovered Super Saiyan Blue 2 😂

Vito Bambino

Goku: Destructo Disc! Krilling from the bench: The F**k?! 😂

SSS (Selective Saiyan System)

Pyrodragon3993

People call Vegeta's new form Super Saiyan Blue Evolved, or Royal Blue. Personally I prefer Super Saiyan Sapphire. You see, they all start with S, it's alliteration.

T R

It's so fun watching you guys geek out over this! from here to the finish line is a blast!

C. Brown

So vegetas transformation is just super saiyan very sparkly blue LOL

Austin Collier

Next week’s eps…buckle up 😮‍💨

Jason Rogue

Now you can watch the ending and see the minor spoiler for Vegeta's new SS Royal Blue/Blue Evolved. Once again Vegeta's beliefs and ego shoot him up to new levels. With the main theme playing as Vegeta levels up is *chef's kiss*.

JT

Since there are few episodes left, the idea of Vegeta getting another form so shortly after SSBE being unlikely, and Vegeta openly stating that he was going to follow “his way” instead of Ultra Instinct in the last episode, I think I’m clear to say that SSBE is what Vegeta gets instead of Ultra Instinct. To this day, Vegeta has not reached the state of Ultra Instinct nor continued working toward obtaining it. Can’t overstate how much I like that they’ve taken the story in this direction. IMO it feels way more fulfilling and intriguing for Vegeta to stop trying to emulate the forms Goku gets first and switch to developing as a warrior in a way that suits him more personally. Like Goku and Ultra Instinct, SSBE feels like Vegeta has turned his biggest weakness (his ego causing him to think too much, underestimate others, etc.) into his greatest strength. Goku’s progression has often focused on mastering diverse martial arts techniques first and raising his raw power second. Vegeta’s progression tends to boil down to his pride motivating him to raise his raw power and come up with bigger and better ki blasts. Goku’s greatest weapon is his ultra-developed mindfulness of martial arts while Vegeta’s greatest weapon is his ultra-weaponized ego. The manga has Vegeta put it rather well when Jiren asks him if he’s trying to achieve Ultra Instinct: “Such a move doesn’t suit me. The notion of being taught anything by anyone, even. I had no master, and I have no memories of my father – King Vegeta – teaching me the basics. No, I’m a prodigy, forged by the fires of solo training. Just now I was close to losing sight of what makes me, me. I aim for the top playing by my own rules, so Kakarot can have Ultra Instinct to himself for all I care.”

JT

@Hohoho Not an unreasonable theory, but I wanted to stick to non-speculation.

Shadowpunch13

When I first watched this episode I half expected "THIS is Super Vegeta ... BLUE"

Hohoho

Can’t believe only 4 weeks of the show remain

Hohoho

Super Saiyan Blue Evolution is probably Super Saiyan Blue’s grade 2.

JT

And there it is, Vegeta’s new transformation. This was the spoiler that the new outro contained. Must have just been an oversight from Toei. When fans saw it there before this episode premiered, there was debate over whether or not is meant to be a new form or just a coloring error. Here’s some info about it: Like Trunks’ Super Saiyan Rage (or Blue Moon/Chardonnay to you two), the form is never explicitly given a name or explanation in the anime or manga. Fan theories like to speculate that the form is the SSB equivalent of SS Grade 2. Also like Super Saiyan Rage, it was likely just introduced by Toei to keep Vegeta from falling too far behind Goku and his Ultra Instinct just as they prevented Trunks from lagging behind Goku and Vegeta. Toyotaro started including it in the manga during the chapters of the T.o.P that came out after this episode and a little bit onward. Episode director Megumi Ishitani once said in an interview that its power is meant to be relative to Goku’s SSB Kaioken. As with Super Saiyan Rage, the arcade game Super Dragon Ball Heroes and V-Jump scans have given the form a name that’s been translated as Super Saiyan Blue Evolution/Evolved (SSBE), which is what many fans refer to it as. However, a lot of fans have also collectively decided to coin it as “Super Saiyan Royal Blue”. Get it? Because it’s exclusive to the Prince of all Saiyans?
