Dragon Box 5 cover art?

Post by NUDEoctopus » Mon Sep 13, 2010 3:57 pm

So what do you guys think will be one the rest of the North American Dragon Box covers? Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only pieces of "Dragon Box artwork" they have left to take from is the young Gohan from the spine, as well as Piccolo and Super Saiyan Goku. What order will they choose to use them do you think? At this point, I'd say Gohan for vol. 5, (which of kinda inappropriate since he's already older from the Room of Spirit and Time) followed by Piccolo (also inappropriate because his significance is heavily diminished at that point) for vol. 6 and SS Goku (which actually kinda works) for vol. 7.

What do you think?

I'd say Gohan will be on there too since he'll play a big role in this volume. SSJ2 against Cell, his high school adventures and Great Saiyaman.

So it'll probably look something like this, I made this a while back:

They should have switched Gohan and Cell for 4 and 5. BUT unless they use Gohan for Box 5, they will run out on the last box and will have to make something up to put on the cover.

Didn't Gohan get the boot for the season sets? What does FUNimation have against Gohan anyway? :P

Your picks make sense. Regardless of age, Gohan has a big part in the next batch of episodes, and his young look is probably the most recognizable anyway.
Going back to the original Japanese Dragon Boxes, I wonder why they went with first-form, imperfect Cell on the box art. I would think Perfect Cell is more iconic and recognizable. Not really a criticism, just a curiosity.
I can see their parachutes.

That really wouldn't make sense though since Cell isn't even in first form in Dragon Box 5 and Gohan doesn't really do anything in Dragon Box 4. I guess it could be argued though that Freeza was in his first form in Dragon Box 3.

I think though the following characters will be on each Dragon Box:

Dragon Box 5- Gohan

Dragon Box 6- Piccolo

Dragon Box 7- Super Saiyan Goku.

He puts education over fighting, therefore he doesn't appeal to the "HARDCORE TOONAMI ACSHOOON!!!" fans.
A Dragon Ball/Urusei Yatsura crossover would be awesome.
Having Toshio Furukawa balance between Piccolo and Ataru would be hilarious.

Bull friggin' Crap! :P :
Uhm, Super Saiyan 2 Gohan vs Cell, Helloooo? Lulz
That scene from what I've even heard from older DBZ Toonami fans, that whole end of the Cell saga is pretty ingrained into their memories.

I agree with the likelihood of the fifth box having that Gohan piece as the cover.

Now, now. He's only been around for less than three months.

Not that it isn't a generic insult that serves no purpose in this thread.

Who cares if he's the wrong Gohan? He's still Gohan, and the 5th Dragon Box is definitely Gohan centric.

None of the characters chosen fit any of the boxes timewise, other than Cell.

We have Namek arc Goku on the Saiyan box, Artificial Humans-Cell Games arc Vegeta on the Namek/Freeza box, and Namek arc Freeza on the Freeza-Artificial Humans box, it's a Gohan centric Dragon Box, there's Dragon Box art of Gohan, it makes sense, there, blah.

Piccolo's only role in the 6th box is mentor to Goten and Trunks for a portion of episodes, and being turned to stone, it's not exactly Piccolo centric, but it's more sense to have SS Goku at the end.

Also, cool mock-up! :D

I think it would have made a lot more since to put young Gohan on the cover of Box 2. Then Cell arc Vegeta would be on the cover of a Cell arc set, which he played a major roll in.

Please get off your high horse. This joke been used by the mods for Kami sake. No need to be all "Noob been in here less than three months lol."

I believe Imperfect Cell and Gohan could have work either way. If Gohsn was on box 4 instead and Cell on box 5 both characters still would fit with the episodes that the boxes contain. These two characters are very important in the episodes in box 4 and the episodes that will be in box 5.

I would like for FUNi to make a custom SSJ Gohan art for the 5th box, but most likely they are going to use the example BluezaBladeNZ posted.

But that would only make sense. This is their last chance to use that Gohan image and I think they are going to take it. Their entire campaign is about how the boxes resemble the original so much.

While very true, they already have the image on the spine, and the image is a picture of Namek Gohan, which would be much younger than what he is during these episodes.

Like I said, i'd like for their to be a custom art that looked better, but at least it's not Season 1 piccolo.
