Vegeta in GT is far better than anything he's appeared in since.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Which is one of my main problems with the Cell arc. You could have devolved Gohan into that character and spend time with and Goku in the RoSat, but no, let's waste all of our time on those fucking islands.

Not really a fuck up on his part but more of a rookie mistake. Cell would reek havoc either way.

That wouldn't change a thing. It only became necessary when time went off course and it'll on the Z-Warriors for not stopping Dr. Gero when he was building the androids.

Not to mention he was the only one who wanted to get the job asap and got shit done.
He fucked up by trying so hard to hide it from vegeta. If he had tried it earlier things could have gone differently.
It wouldn't make anything better.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

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.

Agreed. For me, everything that's been recent is a bit of a let down.

While I agree, I can't help but love that line that Vegeta gave at the end of the Kanzenban. Characterization be damned!

I've seen people complain how forced it was for him to seemingly care more for #16 then his friends and family that were getting mercilessly pummeled.

They must have forgotten why 16 triggered him to begin with.

His GT design is my favorite, after he shaves his moistache.

The Z-Fighters fight against Nappa is one of the best fights in the entire series. It's my favorite behind Goku, Gohan, Kuririn, and Yajirobe vs. Vegeta, Freeza vs. Goku, and Goku vs. Piccolo.

But he looks just like all the other arcs without his mustache. I mean, there's literally no difference.

Different hair, clothes, not to mention that he's just drawn differently in GT.

I too like Gohan's F design over his BoG one.

Count me in as well. I'm not fond at all of the track suit or how skinny he seems to be, but I really like the hair. As opposed to his Boo arc hair, his hair style in ROF really does seem like the true follow up to the various ones that he had as a child.

Naw, he's got a jacket and a spiky flat top.

I. Can't. Fucking. Stand. His. ROF. Design. His hair's dumb, his outfit is dumb, and he's get those fucking glasses. Not to mention it give us, quite possibly the worst shot in Dragon Ball history.

Honestly, I can't think of one thing about tracksuit Gohan that I don't like. Same with Mr. Satan's new look.

I also dig the tracksuit. I think it goes well with his SSJ hair as well.

It doesn't hurt that green is my favorite color.

This, I honestly can't argue with. I mean, this particular episode was absolutely horrible through and through. I seriously can't think of one redeeming quality from it. They really did my boy Gohan wrong in this episode.
