Favourite Character Poses

Post by Super Saiyan Swagger » Mon Oct 27, 2014 1:39 am

Hi all. This franchise is full of some of the most badass, funniest and ridiculous poses there is, so I want to see what are some of your favourites. The poses can be from the manga, the anime series and the movies. Feel free to add a description to the image you post. So get posting! :D

I'll start things off.
Image
This is my favourite pose in the entire series. It's very iconic, a badass pose before a badass fight. I also love how serious Goku looks here. The manga drawing is better than how the anime adapted it IMO.

The obvious choice:

Image

This one exceeds even the Reacoom level of ridiculousness (remember the T pose), and makes Gohan look like a world-class dork—right in front of Videl, no less.

Similar to your choice, OP. I really like Vegeta's counterpart to your pick.

Image

It's just so iconic. I was so happy to see it mirrored in the Boo vs. Gohan fight later on in the series.

Likewise, another two Vegeta favourites of mine:

He's just so awesome and I'm a filthy fanboy.

There's been a lot of black, white, orange, and blue in this thread, but we really need some green. Lots of head-grabbing here.
And my personal favorite...

Ah the power walk. I just love it. Unnecessarily slow movement makes someone invincible.

I agree with this one (along with his first pose and Goku's during the Saiyan Saga).

I also like Cell's pose against Vegeta when he first become perfect or that Bruce Irvin pose he has going on in Super Dragon Ball Z.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Super Buu before he explodes with the crazy look on his face and the bulging veins all over his body has always been one of my favourites. I'de get a screenshot but I'm too lazy.

It's been a while since anyone's posted here so I thought I should revive it. We got a new movie and a new series out so there's a bunch of awesome and ridiculous poses to be shown.

Here's a recent one:
Image
I love this. I love the new transformation, I love the blue aura and I love the serious/cocky look on Goku's face. He looks like he just knows he's going to win.

Some of my favorites:

1) Tree of Might Goku
Image

Love, love, love how focused Goku looks here. He's bruised, bloody, and his arms are like sandbags pulling his whole body down. Yet his intense scowl is unwavering. The image just screams "Hero Shot".


2) Piccolo Meditating
Image

Always reminds me of a grouchy cat napping haha.


3) Kid Buu shakes it
Image

Is there anything as hilariously cocky?


4) Goku on his Kinto'un
ImageImage

Just the perfect stance for an adventure seeking child on his magic cloud. Sou sa Ima koso ADOBENCHAA!

In fusion reborn. Goten and Trunks looked so fucking mini badass! Goten in front looking as cool as ever 8) . Trunks in the back looking semi cool but not Goten cool.
Image

Anytime Goten and Trunks power up. They get this serious and unmatchable coolness around them. They're the greatest. This shot/pose is my favorite between them.
