Dragon Ball Super's Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Form Gets A Shorter Name


Dragon Ball Super, the latest saga of Akira Toriyama's popular anime/manga franchise, introduced a new form of Saiyans for Goku and Vegeta: Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, a transformation that only happens when a Super Saiyan God goes Super Saiyan.

A lot of fans didn't like its lengthy name, and apparently, the Dragon Ball characters didn't like the name either, and the Dragon Ball Super manga provides a shorter, alternative name for the new form: Super Saiyan Blue.

Here's a translation from Saiyan Island:

Vegeta: "Hahaha! That's just what I was hoping for! Obviously if we're both Super Saiyan God Super Saiyans, then as an elite I'll definitely be superior!!"
Goku: "No way, my Super Saiyan God Super...Ow!!! I bit my tongue!!!"
Vegeta: "..."
Goku: "Hey Vegeta, can't we do something about that long name?"
Whis drops down
Whis: "How about...Super Saiyan Blue?"
Vegeta: "..."
Goku: "Blue..."

And here's additional transcription of narration from the manga, again referring to the form as Super Saiyan Blue:

"In fact, a little while before this, the terrible emperor Freeza who had previously terrorized the universe came back to life and attacked Earth. However, after meeting Beerus and Whis, Goku and Vegeta received training from Whis, managing to evolve into Super Saiyan Blue, a form surpassing Super Saiyan God. And so they even managed to defeat the revived Freeza!"
