Adult Gotenks

Post by Kappa » Tue Aug 31, 2021 3:22 pm

If Adult Gotenks is in the new movie, what do you want him to be like?

I personally would like to see him be a little more serious and use a sword. Or 2 swords.

I can't see why Gotenks would use a bladed weapon. The only members of the Z group who have experience with weaponry are Goku and Yamcha but they haven't been in use since the Daimou arc.

Now in personality I wouldn't mind something a bit more earnest and competent but Gotenks expressing a more optimistic and cheerful attitude wouldn't be wrong. It would be a good way of reflecting how the efforts of his elders have allowed him to live a good stable life unlike the Trunks from the future.

I don't want him to appear at all. I'd rather Trunks and Goten become fighters on their own. Gotenks, in my opinion, is super overrated and bland.

I'd like to see a Future Trunks/Gohan fusion instead.

If the movie takes place somewhere between AGE 782 and AGE 783, that would be teen Gotenks actually.

I'd like to him to be... a teenager. Acting like a teenager. Sounding like a teenager. Height of a teenager.

By the way, one of my avatars is adult Gotenks. One just need to take that and reduce him in size a little bit.

Yeah, I only realised that after posting originally. I apologise for not remembering him. Although you could argue that his weapon's usage lacked proper experience in combat unless you count fending off and hunting animals while out in the wilderness.

Goten and Trunks learns sword but that doesn't happen until DBO. They have a dojo to teach others sword, but again doesn't happen until DBO, which they learn to infuse ki into their sword.

Gohan will need to have written his book about ki or Katchin.

The movie is supposed to be lighthearted, so I doubt they'll make him serious if he does appear. He'll probably be just as goofy as an adult, and I personally wouldn't want it any other way.

I'd love if we never saw Gotenks again honestly, I'd prefer them individually.

It's kinda neat that Goten and Trunks learn some sort of Kendo. It shows that they want to forge their own path even though Trunks is probably inspired by Future Trunks.
Big fan of the characters of Dragon Ball, all of them, especially formerly prominent sub-characters. -__-

Even when adult Goten and Trunks fuse, Gotenks should still be eight.

Personally I'd rather more development and focus be given on Goten and Trunks individually, as some others have said. Not that seeing an Adult Gotenks wouldn't be cool.
The story of DRAGON BALL starts from the moment Goku met Bulma. I don't really mind the Z, so long as it's understood that it's not the true beginning of the story.

I actually prefer the Goku vs Tenshinhan and Goku vs Piccolo Jr. rivalries to the Goku vs Vegeta rivalry.

I'm also on the boat that wants more G&T and less Gotenks. I mean, Gotenks won't defeat any major threat, that's his parent's job, and for Gotenks to defeat a second level threat, I better have that reserved for Goten or Trunks.

Have those characters develop a little more instead of them being a vehicle, and excuse for Gotenks to exist.

Gotenks’ parents are Vegetto and Gogeta.

I've been thinking.... with Trunks using a typical western style sword Goten should spend some time with Yajirobe and pick up a katana.

I don't particularly want him to be in the movie, but let's say he is.

I'd like him to fuse to accomplish non-fighting feats. Like something both of them lack some characteristic to overcome a daily challenge so they fuse.

Or to avoid trouble they fuse into Gotenks to cause mischief, but the culprit is no more after 30 minutes. Just two guys. I'd especially like this if Chi-Chi/Bulma make them fuse back and just to get on to Gotenks specifically.
