I think this is fake. Notice the tails and the weird ghost finger under Videl's arm. Anyone else want to weigh in on it?

Fake! Goten and Trunks will be kids forever in the new stuff.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Forgive me but I'm a bit behind on the fandom. Is that something Toriyama said somewhere? Or your own personal beliefs?

These are so obviously fake. I don't know where to begin...

Right, yeah. That's what caused this picture to show up on Imgur I would imagine. I don't understand what you're trying to say though. Did Toriyama say somewhere in the announcement of Dragon Ball Super that Goten and Trunks will stay kids?

Re: 'New outfits' picture found on Imgur. Possibly fake?
Oh sorry, I misunderstood you. I believe what he meant by that was seeing as how Goten and Trunks were kids in the new movies that they'd always remain that way because Toriyama isn't very consistent with age and height of children.karasuhebi wrote:Right, yeah.

Re: 'New outfits' picture found on Imgur. Possibly fake?
I do think the picture is fake but I don't think Trunks and Goten being older is one of the reasons. The two new movies happened during the timeskip at the end of the series while this TV series has been confirmed as happening after DBZ. I don't think they have said how long after, so it's quite possible for them to be older now, wouldn't you think?
Re: 'New outfits' picture found on Imgur. Possibly fake?
It has already been confirmed that the picture is a fanart from an user on Deviantart, but come on. From the first look it should already have been pretty obvious to spot that it isn't official art.

It's a pic I believe made to tribute to Dragon Ball Absalon. It's on Deviantart I believe.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Oh OK cool. I didn't know. Do you have a link to the original DA? I'd love to use it to debunk the pic on Imgur and other places.Jaetinh wrote:It has already been confirmed that the picture is a fanart from an user on Deviantart, but come on.

Fake. It looks far too good compared to Toei's new animation style.

The clothes are OK, but the art is horrible.
Nobody can asume that this isn't fan art.

Re: 'New outfits' picture found on Imgur. Possibly fake?
I love it whenever there are rumors, or a new movie or in this case, a series, that fan art starts popping up all over the place, and people try to pass it off as legit. Really rekindles that old early 2000s AF spirit.
I even saw some articles of Battle of Gods a few years ago that mistakenly used the "gold SS4" fanart in the articles.
