Rare DBZ Images/Cels

Post by trunkschan90 » Sun May 30, 2010 11:44 pm

While browsing I found these images:

Does anybody know where they're from?

Looks like an awful lot of fan-art to me...

Agreed and I don't remember those scenes being in DBZ at all.

Vegeta looks so concerned for Kuririn and Gohan...

Also, were they planning on making a road safety movie like with Dragon Ball? Maybe it didn't get animated or voiced...

Those are hanken, meaning; they're cels made for promotional art.

Oh god, these are fantastic. Someone needs to find whatever promotional material they actually appeared in. Some kind of road safety guide/pamphlet?

Fuckin' Gohan. Always running in front of cars.

I already asked about these some months back. I was the only one who was convinced this was official art rather than fanart -_-
I also saw those hanken cels on Yahoo Japan months back.

My guess is they're from some sort of rare traffic instruction book for little kids... *just a shot in the dark though*

Just look how concerned Vegeta looks :lol:

Here is an action shot of Pan which I have for sale, I don't recognise the background so it may be rare! : http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m209 ... MG0200.jpg

On another note, the cels for DBGT certainly look a lot less dull than how they look in the show itself!

lol NacDonald's Hamburger...

It's as bad as Megatron Burger in Azumanga Daioh, after ADV snuck a "We call MacDonald's Mackie D's in Osaka" joke...

Holy crap, I didn't recognise it either. That's awesome.


Lol Nacdonalds.

Uh, no. These are DragonBall Z cels and the Traffic Safety video was DragonBall. With Goku being a kid and such.

It looks like that, by this point, Goku was pretty pissed with Gohan always running in front of cars

I think he's saying "We can all fly, dumbass!"

Or he's pointing out the overpass...

I love Gohan's rebel face, "I'm going this way, fuck you all". Man, what a jerk.

I'm more in love with the one that implies Krillin runs through traffic with an innocent sense of abandon, alongside his misbegotten, horribly enlarged friend, Gohan.

http://lma333gallery.rubberslug.com/gal ... mID=305429

That one. Gohan is fucking enormous; Krillin does not understand even the most basic rules of traffic, despite being in his thirties.

Everything about that pic is funny. Including Vegeta's face AND concern.

Why would they? If a car bumps into them, the car is gonna get in shambles and they'll walk unscathed, Z Warriors are such jerks.
