I'm not sure this warrants its own thread, and much less in the Super section, but I always liked the style of the suit itself. The helmet is silly, and I think I prefer the sunglasses and bandana style more, but it gives Gohan something to fight in that isn't just Piccolo or Goku's clothes. When he fought Dabura and Buu he used the outfit without the cape and headwear, and I think he looks awesome in it.

The idea came form goten saying saiyaman suit is lame in today's super's episode, in universe it's accepted saiyaman suit is lame, figured it's best to make a thread to clear up if fans feel the same when today's episode's memories are fresh. :)

Ya that suit looks real nice on him

I like the helmet over the sunglasses but I agree with the above, when he wore the green gi against Dabura he looked awesome, one of the few alternate gi designs that actually looked really cool, colors and all, the green on black was badass

I always found the saiyaman outfit silly looking. Due to the cape and helmet. Ditch those and the outfit is cool.

Its basically a Japanese style superhero outfit based on the manga Toriyama watched when he was younger.

Ditch the cape and stick with the turban. Or he should combine his Golden Fighter alias with his Sayaiman alias but turning super sayain instead of any headgear.

I completely agree. It gets much better without the Cape or helmet. It goes from one of the worst outfits to one of the best.

I like the helmet and cape. Though I'd be lying if I said Gohan didn't look cooler without them.

I like Videls version of the costume as well. I think the heart on the helmet is a nice touch.

Yeah, it's supposed to be lame. That's the entire point. It's a goofy superhero parody outfit.

It looks cool in manga/anime form, but seeing it worn by someone IRL makes its lameness more obvious.

Couldn't have said it better. It's supposed to look lame as that's part of the charm with the whole Great Saiyaman persona being an affectionate parody of the tokusatsu superhero genre and more specifically Kamen Rider.

Its supposed to be a parody, of course it's lame!!
Gohan thinks his Superhero antics are cool but everyone in universe sees it as ridiculous, that's the joke
