I think you're seeing things. The only real difference is that his eyes aren't as Babidi-pronounced thanks to the angle, and they they are more serious than cocky looking. everything else seems about the same.

This all looks so ... non-Dragon Ball. If I seen this in, say, the early 2000s, I'd think it was a whacky crossover or something.

And those pens are retarded.

Any chance there's a connection to Anubis? アヌビス, ? Eh, probably not.

Hmm, maybe it's ビール + アヌビス, which can explain where "ス" came from.

Notice how Krillin, Yamcha and Tien seem to be in Martial arts instructor clothes

The poster looks pretty cool. I always thought the character in the background was a girl, but it looks like it's another male character.

I'm not saying it's definitive proof (Otokosuki), but Whis does have eyelashes; usually a trademark of female characters.

Yeah, but don't forget that a male actor has now been listed for this 'Whis', so there's that too.

Yes, but, then again, don't forget Uranai Baba.

The shape looks like Satan's yellow armor in Bojack Unbound:

Bill the Bunny looks emaciated (jaundiced, too). Somebody get that guy some Trix, stat.

The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

What do you think of the enemy designs? The purple rabbit, I don't know, I think they could have made him look weirder and less recognizable as an animal, all the really powerful main villains in DBZ (Frieza, Cell, Buu) all look really weird and unique, a rabbit man I just don't feel deserves to be above them all.

After the full body reveal, he's not a rabbit or a cabbit, definitely a sphynx:

I remember Wikipedia saying that, but had never seen such on Kanzentai. Was this listed on his professional resume? O.o Anyway, super shounen work on th' translations!

Finally, names we can call these dudes!
From what I understand (according to a number of Japanese sources), Suzuoki was hospitalized with an unspecified illness at the time, so for scenes where Tenshinhan, Chiaotzu and Yamcha were watching the battle from Planet Kaiō, Yamadera filled in for him. Someone with a Dragon Box will have to see if that's reflected in the credits, though.

It appears that Tenshinhan has his normal "ten" (天) kanji, and Kuririn has the "kame" (亀) kanji.

lol you're right. He looks older and creepier in the character profiles than in the poster.
