umm no. Gohan literaly has no muscles here, dbz characters are constantly getting younger by every movie where they should be getting older, or are the writers doing that on purpose to make dragon ball fit in with the other mainstream shonen animes? Also why the f*ck is pilaf is still alive, didnt after buu saga they asked shenron that everyone besides all the evil people like pilaf shouldnt get revived? ohh yeah Toriyama probably forgot about that yet he kept him even though he was a boring milked uninteresting villian anyway.dario03 wrote:Gohan is supposed to be what ~22 years old physically? It isn't that uncommon for somebody that age to look about 15, plus he is half saiyan.

What do you guys think, Do you like the gohan new character design for fukkatsu no F or no?
I don't mind the jump suit so much but I do prefer the Buu arc clothes and art style.

Re: Gohan even more disappointing?!
I just wished we saw more of that Purple GI from the beginning of Boo Arc. I don't mind the haircut or tracksuit. He looks like himself. Not a Goku or Vegeta clone. I fucking hate DB characters with stand up hair like Yamcha or Vegeta. It's so lazy and stupid. Give them something unique. Which is why Teen Goten(EOZ) looked cool.
Son Goten likes this.
Re: Gohan even more disappointing?!
Well maybe they are. I would say the lack of muscle is the art direction change. Now if he was the only one that looked different then sure he would seem younger.GokuRules987 wrote:umm no.

Re: Gohan even more disappointing?!
I think Toriyama took the wrong direction with Gohan's hair ever since the start of the Buu arc. Having the spiked look is fine for Super Saiyan and Ultimate forms but for Base Gohan it just seemed a little bit out of character for him to purposely spike his hair up. He never bothered doing that as a kid and always seemed like the type of person who'd go with a natural style rather than something fancy and made up, that was always something Chichi forced on him like in the Freeza arc.
After seeing Toriyama's concept sketches of teenage Gohan I really wish he had gone with something closer to the one on the far right since it would have been a natural progression from his Cell games hairstyle only with the sides being shaved more. Turning Super Saiyan still would have allowed for the spiked up look we all know but his normal state would have been more consistent with the natural look that we associated with younger Gohan which imo fit his innocent personality a bit better.
For a more mature adult Gohan that we see in the EoZ, BoG and the new movie I would have been fine with just going with a very short haircut seen in the top middle since it's very similar to Future Gohan.

Agreed. The spiked look should have been unique to the Mystic powerup.

I always liked that Son Gohan's hair on the right.

Kind of. But with some other details and color, it might be actually cool on him.TheGmGoken wrote:Is that future Trunks outfit on Gohan(right)?

Re: Gohan even more disappointing?!
I hate Gohan's EoZ and GT designs. His FoF design is a breath of fresh air. I love the hair, and I like the track suit because he looks like a character that belongs in a Yoshihiro Togashi manga. It's not cool, but way better than the clothes in EoZ and GT. What he needs to lose are those glasses. I'm sick of Gohan wearing glasses. He doesn't even really need them. It looks stupid.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

Of all things Toriyama did wrong with Buu arc Gohan, hair wasn't really one of them I think
His Buu arc design is good!

The mystic power up give him brain damage, which fucked up his vision. He needs them.fadeddreams5 wrote:I hate Gohan's EoZ and GT designs. His FoF design is a breath of fresh air.

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.

Wait I thought he lived on Mt. Paozu next to Goku? Or was that changed?Marco Polo wrote:You do realize he lives in the city and he HAS just taken a jog?

Re: Gohan even more disappointing?!
He lives with Goku while still in school for the JSAT Special and next to them at the end of the manga. I don't think we know for certain where he lived during BOG and ROF though. Maybe he's staying at Satans house for a while because of the baby?

There is no Mt. Paozu in Toriyama's continuity, so I certainly hope not.Dbzfan94 wrote:Wait I thought he lived on Mt. Paozu next to Goku? Or was that changed?
