A WHOLE STORY.
Goku Black is not simply Goku becoming evil through a new transformation. His identity comes from Zamasu’s use of the Super Dragon Balls to take Goku’s body. This is why the archive marks him as Divine while still documenting his Saiyan transformations.
Rosé is his signature form. The manga also shows him using ordinary Super Saiyan before reaching it; the anime presents the progression differently. The Crimson-Masked Saiyan’s later Rosé forms belong to Heroes and receive a separate profile.
