I like good old fashioned orange gi Goku for when he's a kid and an adult. I've also always liked the shirtless SSJ look from the Freeza saga.

Same! It was a very realistic body type.Shiyonasan wrote:23rd Tenkaichi Budokai/Saiyan arc Goku is my favorite. The art style was great at that point; it's the perfect balance between the roundness of early Dragon Ball and the angled style from the later parts of Dragon Ball Z. Also, he wasn't overly muscular at that point.

Huh, never thought anyone would love that shot of Gokuu. Whenever I see that frame, I normally cringe! Anyway, it's interesting that you picked that particular shot.

I completely forgot about that costume! Such a cool outfit!

I mean it's not my favorite because it looks cool. I just feel like that image sticks in my head most because it looks nothing like him lol.

I`m gonna go in a different direction and say Super Saiyajin 3 from GT!
One thing I love GT for was it`s designs.

I love Gokus appearance in the newer stuff, like Kais opening, JSATS, BoG, etc. In the manga I like his Cell and Boo arc appearance, he's lean as hell!

I always love the version of Goku as a kid in Dragon Ball!!!

Re: Which version of Goku's appearance is your favorite?
Have to agree with the majority and go with 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai Goku. Also a massive fan of that image of Goku described by VegettoEX, really stood out when I just re-read the Piccolo Daimao arc last week.

That's why I'm eagerly anticipating the Figuarts Zero Goku.

Re: Which version of Goku's appearance is your favorite?
I more or less agree with everything you said.WesMan23 wrote:First off, if this belongs in In-Universe, I apologize, and feel free to move the topic if necessary.
We know that Son Goku (in manga canon form) was born in Age 737, and we basically follow his story from Age 749 (age 12) until Age 784 (age 47). Obviously, he ages visibly throughout the series, even in the shorter timeskips in Z.
I'd have to say my favorite appearance for Goku is probably during the Namek arc. He just looks completely awesome, and that was my favorite look of the SSJ form. After the three-year timeskip following Trunks' arrival, his hair changed somewhat in base and SSJ forms, and it just didn't look as cool as it did on Namek. I figure it may be just to show either Toriyama's art style evolving, and by proxy, following through to the animation staff, or just to depict that some time has passed, Goku's hair changed a bit, not entirely sure.
Chi-Chi also definitely looked her best in the beginning of Z, in my opinion. Goku definitely had a catch with her, appearance wise at least.
Also, if you want to include another character's noticeable changes in appearance during the run, feel free.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.
Re: Which version of Goku's appearance is your favorite?
I know it's impossible .. but i just wish Toriyama would find another way to stop the Ozaru transformation without cutting the tail. Kid Goku looks so good with his tail, Vegeta looks totally amazing with it (my favorite appearance)
but we never got a chance to see adult Goku with his tail on, unfortunately.

Base form adult Goku has his tail in the teasing final image in GT's 4th ED. I remember it because of how much of a tease it was since that was never in an actual episode.

Re: Which version of Goku's appearance is your favorite?
Yeah, and the thing that struck me more about it is that he is seen wearing his end of Z clothes (while everyone is wearing their GT's) despite they never appearing in GT (or in any other part of the opening itself)Chuquita wrote:Base form adult Goku has his tail in the teasing final image in GT's 4th ED.

Re: Which version of Goku's appearance is your favorite?
Hahaha I love that scene of Goku vs King Piccolo too! It always gives me the chills.
I don't know why but for me, Goku at the 23rd had my favorite look. He looked quite young but... his design is perfect in my eyes.
I also like a lot his apparance on the Saiyan and Frieza arc.
Least favorite.... well, not that I don't like it, but his looks from the Cell arc onward always felt to me like just "ok".
Vegeta, on the other hand... I loved his simple design on the Buu Arc.
