Either "Grey" or "Grape" (or both).
Well, I guess there could be other possibilities, those two were just the first that came to mind. It's a fairly short name, it's kinda hard to tell exactly...

Goku looks awesome.
Yeah, it really is the first time we see him in such colors, and he looks good, like some kind of explorer or something :lol: :lol:
Can't wait to see more characters....

The designs of Goku and Goten look awesome. Can't wait to see the special!
Just another Dragon Ball fangirl in the world.

An orange ascot is soooo 1960s.

Apparently, you want to dress him up to ride around in a psychedelic van with a bunch of hippies of various degrees that are so stoned out of their minds that they're SURE their dog can talk.

I can't wait for Goku to pull off that mask so Bulma can explain how her "jinkies" meant that she knew all along that Aunt Edna was trying to scare people away from her family's theme park so that she could sell the land/secret oil well for huge profits.
I thought I would not live long enough to witness a Scooby Doo reference amidst a Dragonball discussion. :lol:

Yeah, Goku looked good. But I think theres already an image of Goten like that. Also, why were they taken down again?

Wow, Chi-Chi's outfit's pretty! You can tell they must've earned some $ off of that daikon farming business.

For someone who is one of the riches men on the planet (Mr. Satan), I wonder why he chose to wear a tuxedo that looks like a cross between something (the music artist) Prince wore in the 1980’s and what the Joker wore in the Adam West version of Batman. :D

I've always taken him as having a gaudy taste in fashion, so I'm not really that surprised. XD

Yes it does look like a cross between those two.


I'm surprised at Goku's dull color scheme though; I was almost expecting the bright yellow suit from the daizenshuu or something equally as loud.

I do not recall Mr. Satan wearing any regular clothes in Z except at the party at the end if my memory serves. However, that tux he has on reminds me of that cheesy suit he had on in GT.

We all know who dressed Kakarrot, just as she did with Son Gohan when he was young. I am waiting to see what Bulma and Vegeta will look like in the special. I do not believe he went to the grand opening of Mr. Satan’s hotel in his Capsule Corp., Battle Jacket. I wonder what civvies Toei put him in for the special.

Nice character sheets. I think i'm gonna crazy if I don't see this special soon.

I mean if there were more scans, screenshots, or heck even a trailer, I would be fine but it's hard to find anything new.

Is there anyway to download those on high resolution?


They look great, but it would be better if they were bigger.


btw... Gohan is not in mystic form.. :/

I suppose they went the Movie 13 approach and make him normal unless he wants to transform into his mystic form.

Gohan and Videl both look so great. X3 Gohan's one of those few guys who can pull off the pink office shirt.


I really wanna see Vegeta, but I can wait. :D

Dang blasted why is the Son family first in everything I want to see what the Vegeta/Briefs clan look like in the special. :evil:

I do not know why they put Son Gohan in white when there is a potential fight in the works. In addition, I guess the “Ultimate” or “Mystic” power up wore off or was starting to at this point.
