Gohan even more disappointing?!

Post by GokuRules987 » Thu Feb 19, 2015 12:08 am

To be honest no matter how much i tried to like the new Gohan character design i just cant really accept it, he suppost to be in his 20 now but he looks like a freaking 15 year old kid, I mean WTF! what happened to old Gohan hairstyle from the manga? And the track suit just doesn't suit him because he just looks like a typical earthling instead of a martial artist. What do you guys think, Do you like the gohan new character design for fukkatsu no F or no?

Well, he's supposed to be living the life of a normal person when he grows up. So of course he would have regular people's clothing on usual days.

I like it. It looks more like his own look rather than just copying Vegeta. Was never a fan of his EOZ and GT hairstyle.

The design is fine. My hairstyle changes a couple of times a year, so Gohan certainly doesn't have to be stuck with the same one for years at a time (same for Kuririn). I really don't get what's worth complaining about here either. It takes the original Buu Arc shape when he goes Super Saiyan, so he's just not spiking it up in the film (but he could if he took the time). Gohan has other priorities outside martial arts, especially now that he has a kid and things are likely a hell of a lot more hectic in his life. That's why he can't find his dogi when he does need it.

I hate to be that guy pointing out the obvious, but that's the joke... It works too.

And... regular people clothes involve him wearing a green jumpsuit??? It just feels somewhat out of his character to be doing that. he looks like a typical urban hipster that just taken a jog in the park. I mean what so bad about wearing goku gi clothes that symbolized everything that he and his dad accomplished, like defeated frieza, helped him become ssj2 so that he could beat cell and finally saved the earth from kid buu. His hair even though might be look more consistent to his kid version, but it doesnt feel canon to the series because adult gohan always had spiked hair.

Yeah I really like that his SSJ style is his Boo arc look. Best of both worlds for me since I dislike when SSJ style is basically a golden recolour. Also as much as I really like Gohan's other priorities...they're treated as filler more than having any real relevance which saddens me. I feel it's like "Oh look he has a family how adorable...ok back to the real story."

You forget that DBZ's enemies always just show up out of the blue during a normal day. This is especially true in the DBZ movies.

Gohan probably WAS jogging in the park. Then boom, Freeza appears and he has to drop everything and start fighting.

I dislike it because of the skinnier, not so DB-like style that they're using for all characters these days, but other than that it doesn't bother me too much. I actually enjoy to see everyone wearing different clothes rather than the usual ones we're used to see them in.

I actually wish he would've kept that outfit as his 'fight outfit', it actually looks cool once you take off the helmet and the cape.

Plus, I like that it's unique to him and not a copy of Goku's or Piccolo's

Love the thread title by the way :lol:

I'm not overly keen on the hair, but I don't really mind the tracksuit/jumpsuit.

I like Gohan's new look. I mean he's always changing hairstyles and outfits every now and then, this is just another unique design for Gohan, as opposed to looking like Vegeta rip off like some of the other Z-Fighters do.

I *adored* Gohan's new look when I first saw it. I couldn't believe how negative the comments were.
It's such a breath of fresh air after all these years. I mean, is it really that unappealing to some of you...?

I like how Gohan's completely lost his Mystic state, but is walking around with it constantly on years later when Uub shows up.

The hair is good, and apparently the only reason for the tracksuit is not finding his gi. The only thing I don't like is the art style.

Gohan is supposed to be what ~22 years old physically? It isn't that uncommon for somebody that age to look about 15, plus he is half saiyan. And he is a anime character so placing a exact age based on looks isn't really possible but he doesn't look that young to me.
I don't mind the jump suit so much but I do prefer the Buu arc clothes and art style.

You do realize he lives in the city and he HAS just taken a jog? It is not supposed to be his everyday clothes. *facepalm*
