Goku Black burst onto the scene as an evil version of Goku. The baddie tormented the future and forced Future Trunks to travel back through time again, seeking help from Goku and his father Vegeta. Later, it was revealed Goku Black was actually a character known as Zamasu, a rookie Kai from Universe 10 who wanted to kill all mortals.
In Zamasu’s ambitions to eradicate all humans, he travelled through time and stole Goku’s body before killing many gods and humans. Since Zamasu operated in Goku’s body, it was the first time fans saw a canon evil take of Goku, and plenty loved the idea.
Just like Goku, Zamasu is able to unlock the Saiyan’s God Ki and power up into a Super Saiyan. Goku Black was even able to go go Super Saiyan Rosรฉ, a form which fans have since adored. However, this new Goku Black figurine by SH Figuarts doesn’t display the transformation’s pink hair fans fell in love with; Instead, this figurine shows Goku Black in his base form.
Fans have already expressed desire for SH Figuarts to make a Super Saiyan Rosรฉ figure as well with many fans showing their support on Reddit for the collectible.
“Oh please oh please oh PLEASE let it come with a Super Saiyan Rosรฉ head,” one eager Dragon Ball Super fan pleaded online.
At the moment, Toyarc hasn’t given fans any indication about the possibility of a Rosรฉ hair piece. Still, fans are sharing their support for the latest Goku Black prototype figurine, so fans will want to keep an eye on SH Figuarts line-up as the figure’s sell date is still TBD.
The synopsis of Dragon Ball Super‘s current saga can be read here: “According to an invitation that Goku gets, Zen-Oh (Omni King) is starting a martial arts tournament between all the universes called “Chikara no Taikai” (Tournament of Power). But it is the beginning of universal destruction. Something awaits the winners and losers of this tournament. What will become of this fierce team battle between each universe’s elite warriors?
