It's too bad though that Gohan lost that cuteness factor once the Buu Saga started. Not even Goku, his own Father wanted to hug him.

Gohan is like "*sniff* Someone just please hug me!" and Goku's like "Uh uh, I ain't hugging you until you find some way to turn back into that cute kid I knew 7 years ago. Until then, here's a push to the chest *pushes Mystic Gohan away*"

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

Teenage Gohan sort of looked like a sweetie pie. His future self looked boss as fuck. He was built like a tank and pushed to fight - that's looks and brains molded to fighting. However, the one we know well turns into a bit of a pale, shy clutz. Slender like his father was back at the end of DB. Can't see he wasn't appealing to look at when he went mystic.

I remember when Dragonball was still somewhat new here in the Philippines...I was watching a video (VHS!) of the movie where they fought Androids 13 to 15 at my best firend's place. His younger (then teenaged) sister (who wasn't really all that much into anime, although she didn't hate it either) walked in and was twitterpated at first sight over Future Trunks. Her reaction was adorable, but she manged to keep her composure so that she didn't look too goofy drooling over Trunks.

Well, I can't say I blame her. Mirai Trunks is a sight that can't be ignored, especially when he has his long hair.

I thought he looked really cute as a blonde during the Cell arc. I've always liked the two outfits he started wearing after he got out of the RoSaT. The Piccolo outfit and the casual one.

Can we make sure one thing's clear - teenage Gohan doesn't refer to the one at the end of the Cell arc. Not picking on anyone in particular in this thread, but I want to at least have that clear as Super Saiyan hair. Teenage Gohan is the one in the Boo saga. The one at the Cell arc wasn't older than 11 at most. This is so we are all on the same page when talking about which Gohan.

He looked too much like Yamcha for my taste. The hair and all.

CelL Games Gohan was the best Gohan in terms of look IMO.

Also I'd like to add an addendum to my original post. Kid Goku in DB was the best but GT Kid Goku did have this.

He looks really good with the SSJ3 hair. I kinda almost want to rewatch GT just for the times when he turned Super Saiyan 3 now. I need screencaps!

Yeah I wasn't exactly sure which Gohan we'd be referring to as "teenage"Gohan, so I made sure to put from the Cell arc, so it would be known which I was talking about.

Cutest: Goku at the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai. He has the perfect balance of "Aww <3" and "I'll never be able to get on the Nimbus if left alone with him". (<_<)

Handsome: Trunks. He always struck me as the obvious choice of eye candy of the series.

Hot: Vegeta. He's not "handsome" per se, but I just knew Bulma was having the time of her life with him or he would have been kicked out of Capsule Corp, so that has to count for something, huh? Visually, he just gets better with time. Also Bardock has a special mention here.


Gohan was cute, but I never thought he was the cutest.

First time I saw this thread o_O.... anyway, I would say Android 17 is probably a Lady Killer, when he's not being just a Killer. :P

Oh yeah, I forgot General Blue. He should be an obvious one. And Gokuu, even as an adult, is adorkable.

Male, *insert all sexuality-defending tropes here*.

This topic reminded me of a fan art response I read years back;

"Oh (16 year old + "Mystic") Gohan, you're probably the only reason I don't curse at Toriyama for going through with the Buu saga!"

Reminds how much I like most of what was done with Gohan at the end to begin with.

Good thing the anime fixed that. :twisted:
