Re: Goku's dogi and Toriyama's design shortcuts

Shout-out to the redesign for battle of Gods with the Capsule Corp boots and the kimono-style overlap shirt. I really wish that was the standard look for him in Super. Resurrection F* He wears the classic dogi with the kanji and wide obi in Battle of Gods - see the SSJG picture above. The RoF dogi ...

Re: Goku's dogi and Toriyama's design shortcuts

My question now is why Toei was able to reintegrate the kanji while Toyotaro does his absolute best to never have to draw a kanji. Easy: digital animation. The kanji can simply be inserted into the frame digitally and then warped to fit the deformation of the gi, if needed. Ah, didn't think of that...

Re: Goku's dogi and Toriyama's design shortcuts

My question now is why Toei was able to reintegrate the kanji while Toyotaro does his absolute best to never have to draw a kanji. I think he even drops it from Kuririn's dogi in the ToP. I'd have to check. And in the Moro arc, everyone gets the simplified Galactic Patrol emblem, and now Goku is roc...

Re: Goku's dogi and Toriyama's design shortcuts

He gave Yamcha a more elaborate design with a Kaio kanji but constantly found excuses to get rid of it, namely with the age-old "pierced through the chest" trick, until it just mysteriously vanished altogether. Hahah, yes, Toei especially loves this shortcut. Most of the fight against Gok...

Goku's dogi and Toriyama's design shortcuts

This thread will be focusing on Goku's iconic golden/orange dogi, its changes and why I think it may have changed, and changed back. Starting with the 21st Tenkaichi Budoukai through the battle on Namek , Goku's dogi featured the Kame and/or Kaio kanji and eventually his own kanji, and a loosely tie...

Re: "Dragon Ball FighterZ" Official Discussion Thread

All FighterZ models are wonky looking in stills. They're designed to be seen in motion with exaggerated proportions on the hands/feet to make the hits have more impact visually. Also, costumes really can't be a thing in this game due to the nature of how the models work. Videl was the one exception ...

Re: Thoughts on a potential Netflix series.

Count me in for a series that starts with Dragon Ball from the beginning. I'd like a (mostly) Asian-descent cast, with a Goku actor that believably looks like he's 12. I realize that finding good child actors, let alone ones that can perform choreographed martial arts is hard, but if something is wo...

Re: What kind of merchandises do you like consuming?

I also have a nice t-shirt from Uniqlo of the cover of chapter 115, Freeza and Goku staring each other down. Love that shirt and try not to wear it too often so it won't fade. :D Also forgot that after selling my nearly complete Figuarts collection (apart from the aforementioned Goku, Bulma and Trun...

Re: What kind of merchandises do you like consuming?

I have a (relatively) small collection of Gokū figures and statues. Mostly the S.H. Figuarts series (have nearly every Goku release outside of SDCC exclusives), WCF and Adverge figurines, and some Banpresto statues.

I have all of the canon Trunks and Bulma Figuarts.

SSG for sure. God ki really isn't this whole complicated thing. Toriyama's not that kind of guy. God ki is this ki that is so insanely strong that normal people can't even sense it. It's like the energy of the universe itself. You don't realize you're breathing air, so how can you sense it? Kind of ...

It's still another Goku, the idea of reusing him is lazy. There's already black haired Goku, blonde hair Goku, blue haired Goku, pink haired Goku, daddy Goku, baby Goku, half Goku with a Gi, half Goku with a vest and now a silver haired Goku. It's ridiculous. Wheres Roshi or Dabura or Bojack or Top...

It needs to be someone who can fly/air dash, the developers have said as much. Can you provide a source for that?
