But what impressed fans the most about this transformation, however, was the reason he transformed. Thinking back to Cabba, Vegeta reached his new power and fans were tearing up:
OMG that episode of Dragon Ball Super! I nearly teared up when Vegeta had his flashback to Cabba.
I’m gonna be so disappointed when Vegeta doesn’t win the Tournament of Power.

Vegeta using Cabbaโs loss as a way to tap into his new form was awesome character development for him. Dragonball Super is Vegetaโs show. pic.twitter.com/Yoo27YjXga

Though Vegeta’s form is a great addition to the series, fans are definitely curious as to what the proper name of the form will be:
Just watched the latest episode of Dragon Ball Super. My question is what is the name of Vegeta’s new form? Is is a literal Royal version of Super Saiyan Blue? Grand Super Saiyan Blue? Or is it classic Super Saiyan Blue 2

With as many questions and hype Vegeta‘s new form is drumming up, fans are going to be waiting for the next episode with baited breath.
