One other I’m unsure about. The orange ones.

What you have there is either a watermelon or an eagle eye. Super sayians have a white/blue eye (hence the name).

First pic is an eagle eye, second is a super sayian

here are my super sayians

So super sayians are often misidentified because they’ve been around a long time and they’re also part of that large eagle eye/water melon family with which they share a lot of similarities.

It doesn’t help matters when you do a quick Google image search and 2 of the first 5 images (from NYRA and TSA none the less) are incorrect. If you scroll further you can see how pronounced this issue is. I have not doubt those were sold to you as super sayians but that ID is unfortunately incorrect.

As I’d mentioned before, and you can see in my pic + Google images, super sayians have that white-blue mouth that’s their key distinguishing characteristic. That doesn’t morph or change. Additionally the orange ring on super sayians is usually not uniform in color.

They're just names and people can take then as seriously as they want to. That being said, between the name game, zoas morphing, and vendors branding and rebarnding stuff a little historical knowledge goes a long way.
