A discovery that I have found

So I was looking at the Goku vs Beerus fight in English and I noticed something at the climax of their fight. When Goku was pushing back Beerus' attack he reverted from SS to what people may assume was his base form. But if you pay attention to detail you would notice that Goku had still kept his Super Saiyan hair but it was still black while pushing back the attack.

It's interesting because it's similar to the promotional image of Goku for the current arc that we got where his hair had a similar look (It's very likely a new transformation)

This would explain some things, such as how Goku was able to push back that attack in his Base but wasn't able to while in Super Saiyan.

And the final clue is the conversation Goku had with Beerus at the end of their fight (It's at the end of the video I showed) about how he shouldn't underestimate his LIMITS, which is the theme of the current arc and is possibly connected to his new transformation.

Did Goku unknowingly tap into this reserve of power?

If so, it's a nice bit of foreshadowing from Toei's part and would justify the scene being so different from the BoG Movie/Manga versions. I never really viewed it as a permanent power up anyway, so it wouldn't change my scaling of the Super Anime if it turned out to be little more than what it was at face value for me.

Damn right! That's a great discovery right there! I just hope that Beerus might bring this up once Goku turned into that form. Did this occur in the manga version as well?

Nah, It's at least the third time I watched that fight. Just got lucky I caught something as evasive as this.

The aura around Goku shortly after he handled Beerus' attack is like the one we saw of him in the 4th DBS opening:

Kudos to the writers if this was an intentional glimpse of what's to come.
