Take away the scars and this would be a completely acceptable drawing of Gohan nowadays. The problem with Dragonball is that most characters have the exact same face when serious. It's the hairstyles that differentiate them. Just look at this for example:

Lately, I've been thinking of making fan art that would show how I would change the character designs so that everyone has somewhat unique faces but I've been lazy :P

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Yamcha himself did have an unique face originally, but it ended up becoming the generic one we have nowadays. Even Goku's face is more standardized compared to how he's drawn in the beginning of the manga if you compare his eye shape.

What makes it interesting is that Tien's eyes didn't change as much as Yamcha's. They start out having similar eye shapes, yet Tien retains most of his old characteristics while Yamcha doesn't.

Yamcha should have kept his circular/round eyes from Dragonball. Instead they basically gave him Saiyan eyes.

Yeah, I really can't see the big resemblance either, it's just the hair..
But gohan needs his bang back, he needs it, his design just went from my favorite to not attractive at all when he lost the bang..
Speaking of designs, merged zamasu is really great one

I always imagined the reason Yamcha has long hair again in Super (which he hasn't had since the end of the Freeza arc) was to distinguish him from Gohan more.

I agree he looked better with the bang. I'm not the biggest Gohan fan as a main character but it would be nice to see him again in at strong supporting role.


I mean in the pic i can see a small resemblance just not enough that id ever confuse them or something.

Gashapons and Keychains seem to be out for the Black arc:

Cheap Chinese knock offs are already making the rounds I found one yesterday where the figure looked nothing like the stock picture lo and behold form HK. If it's cheap and from Hong Kong avoid.

(Inb4 people think that maybe SS3 Vegetto was gonna play a part, these key chains just group random things together from show, heroes etc).

Side note: SSGSS in normal outfit seems even worse in figure form /;

I think it looks better than in the show because of the blue used.

It still looks like Yamcha. The eyebrows are different.

Not really. Merged Zamasu is just Zamasu with white SSJ Goku hairstyle and a black outfit, I would prefer if his skin was like this, but the problem with this fan art, even though it is nice, the fusion has more semblance of Goku (Black) than Zamasu.

I would dig Merged Zamasu design if wasn't for his green color skin, having a pale skin would make him more terrifying in my point of view

What I like is Merged Zamasu and his clothing actually looks godly, while the fan art you gave looks much more menacing, it fails to capture Zamasu's true essence, a self proclaimed beautiful god

But then it'd just be Goku with white hair. And it's not even just Zamasu with Goku's hair anyways, if you look at his face, you can tell it's different, he has more of Goku's features. I think his design was perfect for him, and it was simple. Plus it makes sense for Zamasu to take over more features since he's the kaioshin, as we've seen before.

GOAThan (not to be confused with that orange and blue loser that fought Majin boo) is coming back in episode 74 also. Yes, the great saiyaman is getting a two parter in 2017.

Well, if they were gonna do a Gohan 2-parter, something Great Saiyaman related is what I'd want to see anyway.

Always good to see baby Pan in an episode too. (Hopes her Uncle 'Piccoyo' is babysitting her).
