Super Saiyan Rosé

is a divine form that can only be accessed by Goku Black which matches Super Saiyan Blue in strength.
In the Dragon Ball Super anime, as well as Dragon Ball Fusions, this form is the result of a divine Saiyan transforming into the first Super Saiyan form, while in the manga and most other media, this form is the Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan form of a Saiyan with divine/godly status.Dragon Ball Super chapter 20, "The Zero Mortal Project"
==Overview==
===Concept and creation===
Super Saiyan Rosé was created by author Akira Toriyama as a unique form for Goku Black, though he simply stated Goku Black could "Become a Super Saiyan like Goku, and a Super Saiyan of a slightly different color than Goku".
===Appearance===
In the anime, this state is identical to the Super Saiyan Blue form in all but color: Black's hair takes on a pastel pink color with faint white highlights, with his eyebrows matching the color of his hair, and his eyes change to light gray. The aura's shape is very similar to that of Super Saiyan Blue's with major color differences; it has a very dark shade of red on the outside, while it has a more pinkish color on the inside; while the aura is present, Black's clothing becomes brighter, while his eyes appear as pink and the color of his hair and eyebrows become a slightly darker shade of pink (due to him being illuminated by the aura) and he acquires a dark purple glow around his body. Usage of this form also appears to greatly alter Black's techniques, including his Super Black Kamehameha; while it has the same black color on the inside, the color is pink instead of purple on the outside. The color change also applies to his signature Violent Fierce God Slicer, allowing him to extend it into various more elaborate shapes. His other techniques also change their usual appearance to match the form's coloration.
In the manga, the form is differentiated from Super Saiyan Blue in the same way as the anime. The aura is more jagged and flame-like than the aura of Super Saiyan Blue. In a close up of Goku Black, his hair looks spikier. However, this is the case for all characters who are zoomed in on, and as a result, some have mistakenly stated that the hair spikes up and changes more than it actually does.
When Goku Black merged with Future Zamasu with the Potara earrings while in the Super Saiyan Rosé form to become Fused Zamasu, and later (in the manga) transitions into Infinite Zamasu, the result is a being who is constantly and permanently in the Super Saiyan Rosé form, due to fusions created with Potara Earrings automatically assuming the transformed state(s) the fusees were in at the time of the merger, and the resulting fusion being unable to power down from that form. In Fused Zamasu's case, just like Goku Black, he has grey eyes while in the Super Saiyan Rosé form, however, he has white hair, and in the anime, a colorful white aura in this form. Fused Zamasu's white hair in the Super Saiyan Rosé state was presumably inherited from his fusee Future Zamasu, who himself, has white hair. 
Because Super Saiyan Rosé serves as Black's equivalent to Super Saiyan Blue, it utilizes godly ki; as such, it is theorized by Future Zamasu that this form is pink in color due to it being the result of a deity surpassing Super Saiyan God (with Blue being the result of a mortal surpassing it).
===Usage and Power===
The January 2017 issue of V-Jump ranked both Goku Black and Fused Zamasu in this form as a 12/12 on the danger scale.
In the manga, as it is a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan form, this state is achieved in the same manner as its mortal counterpart. Goku Black achieved the form when his power as a Super Saiyan surpassed Super Saiyan God, with Goku Black noting his divine soul and Saiyan body are becoming one. Goku Black then combined his divine energy with the first Super Saiyan form, evolving his standard Super Saiyan from into the Super Saiyan Rosé form. In the anime, he gained the form by simply integrating Goku's fighting style into his own.Dragon Ball Super episode 51, "Feelings That Transcend Time: Trunks and Mai" The Dragon Ball Super anime and Dragon Ball Fusions do not refer to it as a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan form, instead referring to it as the divine version of the first, standard Super Saiyan form. Thus, in these media, Goku Black achieves the Super Saiyan Rosé form by transforming into the first Super Saiyan form.
This form, like its mortal counterpart, provides Black with the precise ki control needed to properly utilize, and maintain, this form. Unlike its mortal counterpart though, the ki control of Super Saiyan Rosé is so precise and efficient (due to Black's status as a divine being) that this allowed him to create various weapons of energy at will. Unlike Super Saiyan Blue, which needed additional training to fully master it, this form somehow does not display any sort of stamina decrease. Goku Black is shown using the form as much as he wants with no drawbacks, possibly because of the combination of Goku's power which he mastered and the pure divine power he was born with, and all he needs to do is keep increasing his power in this form. In the anime, this form also appears to have no impact on the amount of time that Fused Zamasu can remain fused, unlike Super Saiyan Blue Vegito - who defused well before an hour had passed.Dragon Ball Super episode 66, "Showdown! The Miraculous Power of Unyielding Warriors"
In the anime, Black first revealed Super Saiyan Rosé in his battle against Vegeta, Goku, and Future Trunks. Black was assaulted by Vegeta as a Super Saiyan Blue and withstood his vicious assault before ultimately impaling him through the chest with his energy blade.Dragon Ball Super episode 56, "Rematch with Goku Black! Enter Super Saiyan Rosé" He then fought against Goku when he transformed into a Super Saiyan Blue; Goku was able to hold his own, but Black used his energy blade to pressure Goku. Once his ally Future Zamasu held down Goku and Trunks long enough, Black was able to take them both down with a Super Black Kamehameha, which the Saiyans barely survived.Dragon Ball Super episode 57, "A God with an Invincible Body The Advent of Zamasu" In the Super manga, Goku Black attains this form by combining his divine power and his regular Super Saiyan form into it: by powering up massively due to recovering (and having Future Zamasu heal the damage) from a near-death experience, Goku Black's ordinary Super Saiyan form powered up and then evolved into the Super Saiyan Rosé.
Black later shows off this form to Future Zamasu, to show that he does not require immortality, and his strength is already satisfying as is.Dragon Ball Super episode 59, "Protect The Supreme Kai Gowasu Destroy Zamasu!"
Fused Zamasu possessed a permanent Super Saiyan Rosé state, due to Black having remained in this form when he fused with Future Zamasu via Potara.Dragon Ball Super episode 64, "Worship Me! Give Praise Unto Me! The Explosive Birth of a Merged Zamasu!"
In the manga, both Goku Black and Future Zamasu are able to independently transform into Fused Zamasu, and thus possess this state. Infinite Zamasu has access to this form since the entity is simply a mutated version of Fused Zamasu.Dragon Ball Super chapter 25, "Will It Be Goku?! Or Zamas?!"Dragon Ball Super chapter 26, "The Decisive Battle! Farewell, Trunks!"
Under any normal circumstances, living in a permanent powered-up state of this magnitude would be incredibly stressful and would drastically shorten the fused being's lifespan; but, due to Future Zamasu's immortality, this problem may be not the case. Of course, it is ambiguous: after the fusion, Zamasu's body in the anime does not regenerate in the same way it used to, due to Black's body not being immortal; he also loses energy at a rapid rate, a trait caused by being in a permanent powered-up state. In the manga, however, due to Fused Zamasu fully retaining his immortality, he does not suffer any decrease in power and was capable of lasting long enough to undergo the usual hour time limit of Potara Fusions for those who aren't officially considered Supreme Kais.
==Enhancement==
In the anime, Black is able to power up the Super Saiyan Rosé form by using the alteration-type ki manipulation technique through rage, initally creating a new Energy blade called the Azure Dragon Sword Model Energy Blade. He later utilized his anger towards mortals to attain this state and used it to combat rage empowered Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta. With this power, his weapon forging abilities evolved once more as he created the Sickle of Sorrow, capable of - with some help from his Time Ring - creating a rift capable of spawning several "clones" of himself or in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 can create time anomalies strong enough to summon forth entities with ki similar to Black's.
In the manga, Fused Zamasu can push his power in this form to the point where his body cannot handle it and thus take on a Powerhouse state, which Vegeta compares to the Perfected Super Saiyan Blue and notes that Fused Zamasu's body will be damaged from the overflowing even power despite his immortality.
===Higher Levels===
There are also several powered-up variations of Super Saiyan Rosé.
*Super Saiyan Rosé 2 - The Super Saiyan Rosé form's divine equivalent to the Super Saiyan 2 transformation.
*Super Saiyan Rosé 3 - The Super Saiyan Rosé form's divine equivalent to the Super Saiyan 3 transformation.
*Super Saiyan Rosé Full Power - A form beyond even Super Saiyan Rosé 3. This form is the full power and potential of the Super Saiyan Rosé form. Obtained by siphoning energy from the Pseudo Universe while in the Super Saiyan Rosé 3 form.
===Fusion===
Karoly Black possesses a form which is a mixture of Goku Black's Super Saiyan Rosé form and Broly's Legendary Super Saiyan form.

Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black makes his debut appearance in Dragon Ball Heroes.
The EX-Fusion with Broly - Karoly Black - utilizes a hybrid Legendary Super Saiyan/Super Saiyan Rosé form in Dragon Ball Fusions.
Though the form cannot be obtained by the Saiyan Future Warrior (as they gain the Super Saiyan Blue form) in Xenoverse 2 there is a Super Saiyan Rosé Wig accessory which can be obtained as a completion reward for taking part in the Raid Quest: "Zero Mortal Plan". Alternatively, the wig can randomly be obtained from Goku by giving him Gift (Goku) after unlocking his special costume for Partner Customization, though they may randomly receive a piece of the Golden Turtle Hermit Gi instead. Additionally, Fused Zamasu's version of Super Saiyan Rosé has its own accessory called Fused Zamasu Wig which can be obtained as a completion reward for taking part in the Raid Quest: "Demented Deity".
Interestingly, despite the form's Godly ki which normally makes one immune to the effects of Dark Magic, Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black can utilize the Supervillain state a trait which he shares with Future Zamasu and Fused Zamasu who both are able to utilize Supervillain. However, it is implied that they may have cast the spell on themselves as Grotesque Zamasu is apparently able to activate the power-up when he struggles with Future Trunks as they cross swords in order to overpower him. Alternatively, they are allowing themselves to be empowered by the spell.
In Xenoverse 2, as part of the Extra Pack 2 DLC's Infinite History Saga, Captain Ginyu can steal Goku's body from Black while it is in Super Saiyan Rosé form using his Body Change technique while working alongside the Future Warrior as their selected Partner. Despite being a mortal and not a proper deity, Ginyu retains Black's Super Saiyan Rosé form due to him being already transformed when Ginyu swapped bodies with him and does not need to get used to Goku's body as he had stolen it previously, thus allowing him to utilize its full power which is further enhanced by it still being in Super Saiyan Rosé form. A similar scenario can occur outside the main story if the Future Warrior uses Body Change on Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black.
Humorously, it is suggested by a Conton City Radio broadcast from Caulifla and Kale after the 1.10.00 Update DLC, that Kale would prefer the Super Saiyan Rosé form, as Kale gets into a discussion with Caulifla about Super Saiyan Blue and despite being unaware of Super Saiyan Blue actually has a pink variation, she states she would prefer her Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan form's hair to be pink rather than blue and even passionately insists pink would be better shocking Caulifla with how serious she is. Ironically, Kale herself is unaware a pink version already exists in the form of Super Saiyan Rosé, due to her and Caulifla only being familiar with Super Saiyan Blue thanks to Vegeta and Goku.
In FighterZ, Goku Black immediately assumes this form for every battle (as he's not playable in his base form).
In World Mission, Ahms takes on this state after absorbing Goku Black.
==Trivia==
*The form was revealed to the world before it made its initial appearance in the anime due to a merchandise leak on Amazon Japan.
*Future Zamasu gives a possible explanation of the form's color being due to a Saiyan possessing a proper divine status when they surpass Super Saiyan God, implying that it is likely that Goku, Vegeta, Vegito, or any mortal Saiyan Beyond God, could have obtained this form instead of Super Saiyan Blue had they been in the position of a divine being, such as Guardian (a position which Kami had once offered to Goku) or God of Destruction (as Whis considers them both to be candidates to replace Beerus if he were to die) when they surpassed Super Saiyan God. It should be noted that Goku Black attained this form due to the fact that he was originally Zamasu, the North Kai of Universe 10.
*Fused Zamasu's, along with Infinite Zamasu's Super Saiyan Rosé forms possess white hair and have white auras, rather than the light pink hair and reddish/pink/purple aura that Goku Black has when he transforms into a Super Saiyan Rosé. The reason for this is never stated or even implied in either the Dragon Ball Super anime or manga.
*In Xenoverse 2, it is shown that mortals capable of using Body Change can utilize this form if they steal someone's body while it is transformed into the Super Saiyan Rosé form, allowing them to utilize the form despite not being proper deities, thus explaining why Ginyu isn't Super Saiyan Blue after stealing Goku's body from Black (as Goku had acquired Super Saiyan Blue form before his body was stolen by Zamasu/Black) despite Ginyu himself being a mortal. It is also stated by Ginyu that his past experience with Goku's body allows him to utilize its power without the need to get accustomed to it.
**This also occurs if the Warrior utilizes Body Change on Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black, though this can only occur outside of the game's narrative, and it should be noted that this applies to all transformed characters as a result of game mechanics.
**However, it is unclear if they would retain it were they to revert to base form, or if they would transform into Super Saiyan Blue instead due to not being proper deities.
*Sean Schemmel interprets this form as more of "the Zamasu power" channeling through "Black" when he assumes this form, which is why in the English dub his voice changes to closely match Zamasu's. This interpretation could potentially fall in line with statements made by Black in the manga that the Saiyan Power allowed his soul to become one with Goku's body, immediately before turning Super Saiyan Rosé. However, there has been much controversy with this statement, as Zamasu's intent is to become one with Goku, becoming more like Goku and less like Zamasu.
*Although Broly only manages to get the ability by fusing into Karoly Black, it should be noted that a flashback to Broly's youth in Dragon Ball Z: Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan at one point depicted a then-teenaged Broly as having a similar colorization in his Super Saiyan C-type form to Super Saiyan Rosé (though in that case, it was due to the lighting from being in space as well as his powering up).
*The name of the form “Rosé” could be a reference to Rosé wine, as Gods of Destruction and Angels are named after alcoholic beverages and Zamasu saw himself as a being on a high level akin to them.
