Their logic still applied, but if for instance Roshi was chosen, they would have made two cards (TUR and LR) instead of one (as in case of potential VB PHY - only LR). The term "TUR" doesn't exist in-game. There may be some mention of "Transcended UR", but we as fans use the term to describe UR cards that Dokkan and have a level cap of 120. Bandai usually says "shattering the UR limit" when referring to TUR cards.

Considering you're taking every possible liberty can with the wording of this announcement, I don't understand why you won't take those same liberties with the original LR election announcement. Dokkan fans have been interpretting these things like the Bible, taking context out of sentences that don't have any and assuming that the sentences were crafted with the utmost care so as not to spoil anything.

The reality of it is that there isn't enough time or money for someone to sit down and make sure every syllable of those announcements is perfectly crafted. It should be pretty obvious from the majority of the announcements that they don't even word them carefully.

So let's cover the facts:

1. LR Vegito Blue will be released soon, as the opening of the announcement says "The most popular candidate of the LR Election will be released soon."

2. Bandai just announced a new SSR Vegito that Dokkans to TUR. We know this from game files.

3. In the same section, literally two sentences after this new Vegito is introduced, it states "Vegito can become an LR"

4. However LR VB is obtained, it will be a grind because multiple election announcements insinuated that "the road to LR is long and rough", and this announcement seems to confirm that with terms like "quest" and "journey".

Does it technically say "the new SSR STR Vegito will become an LR"? No, but why would they specify that when the entire section was about STR Vegito? While I'm not one to credit their grammar, English speakers (both good and bad) don't overuse adjectives. After you mention something a certain amount of times, you can start to drop the adjectives to expedite writing. Pronouns (he, her, they) are this same exact concept with nouns. It's perfectly reasonable for them to refer to the new SSR STR Vegito as "Vegito" instead of tacking on all those adjectives, expecially considering the rest of the announcement is about him.

Also, why release a new Vegito with a LS that boosts Super types at the same time? Why would it have taken 6 months if all they had to do was design 1 actual card and 2 fake out cards? You may say it was all to hype everyone up over it, but it's an awakening, so Bandai does not benefit from that hype at all. LR VB isn't going to make Bandai any money in either case because he'll either be free or most people will already have him. Hype won't change the amount of sales like it would with new characters.

You're welcome to keep being optimistic (despite mounting evidence suggesting otherwise) so long as you aren't one of the ones who's going to fill the comments of the card pages with complaints about how it should've been PHY VB. Quite frankly, I'm sick of LR VB before he's even out because the community spams every new LR with comments about him and keeps hyping themselves up and then complaining when they don't get their way. All anyone did was press a button to vote, no one here is owed anything.

I agree, respect and understand your reply. It's very convincing, yet I'm a man of hard facts. And I will only belive which Vegito is LR when I see him with my own eyes. I'm open for everything, as for the time being - nothing is confirmed.

As for

"Does it technically say "the new SSR STR Vegito will become an LR"? No, but why would they specify that when the entire section was about STR Vegito? While I'm not one to credit their grammar, English speakers (both good and bad) don't overuse adjectives."

I know what you mean, but note that all the information about becoming LR is under section "Selected Information". So, if information is selected, then it's obvious it's selected from certain scope. And we don't know the whole scope.

With that being said - I stand by my theory, and I will belive which one is LR when I see the actual LR.

I will accept the fact if it turns out to be STR. The thing is - I just personally think it's gonna be PHY. Or maybe both?
