I do remember seeing that "SSJ Ultimate Gohan" in some other recent official artworks. I guess they simply forgot what Ultimate Gohan is.

*Edit: Here's one of them.

I thought he is SSJ, because Ultimate Gohan is in fact Super Saiyan stage on level of SSJ3 in Budokai franchise.
So before reaching this, you are base. I rarely reached all the way to Ultimate Gohan when playing, so it wasn't that weird to me, to see SSJ Gohan in Goku's gi, in Budokai game as SSJ.
Only thing that perplexed me is this ill decision, to paint his head yellow, insted of making him proper shading and contouring.

If that were true Gogeta wouldn't have been getting his ass handed by Broli. I doubt Toei thought that much about it.
In Goku/Vegeta/Gohan's Dragon Universe mode, Broly is treated stronger than Kid Boo.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

Never thought anything of it. It's not like the opening is canon to begin with. It's just really cool. I tend to categorize Super Saiyan Gohan wearing the orange dougi as "pretty effin' cool."

It's also of worth to point out the battle powers made in conjunction with the game, wherein Broli is placed considerably below Gogeta.

Oh, absolutely! But looking at the hair itself...it's clear that something different was going on there. Would've liked to see his ssj hair properly animated.

Gohan without the blue undershirt later on also always bugged me lol

Because I totally messed up what came when :P . I guess what I meant was "a reference to GT" since he does go golden with an orange gi (with a logo, but that's beside the point lol). "Prelude" would've meant that it came before, which...yup, not so much :lol:
