For context, many fans of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot were surprised when SSG Vegeta was revealed, namely because he comes much later in both the anime and manga. In the Dragon Ball Super manga, Vegeta first shows the form when fighting Goku Black, whereas in the anime, he uses first against Broly in the DBS: Broly movie. Many thought that Vegeta just skipped Super Saiyan God and went straight to Super Saiyan Blue, sort of how he does by skipping SS3 for SS4 in Dragon Ball GT.

It was eventually revealed that he was taught the form by Whis, which many assumed include extensive training. New screenshots, however, show that Whis summons Gohan, Goten, Trunks (kid), and Future Trunks to his Beerus’ Planet. There, they complete the Super Saiyan God Ritual, something many thought the DBZ: Kakarot DLC would bypass, in order for Vegeta to obtain his Super Saiyan God form. Notably, this isn’t canon and is likely a “rule of cool” for the DLC to add Vegeta early.
Of course, the first thing that SSG Vegeta does is seemingly challenge Beerus. Reports indicate that, even in this new form, the Beerus Boss Battle is incredibly tough.
Fans don’t have to wait much longer to give SSG Vegeta a spin, and while there was a lot of scrutiny over this being a “Boss Battle Episode” in DBZ: Kakarot, it seems that there will be more involved than first met the eye.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
