So, now they don't just get Metamoran clothes, but also a mix of Metamoran & their clothes.
Hmm...it's possible, I suppose. In anything other than Heroes, I'd expect there to be some kind of explanation just like that (or them randomly having spares of their outfits and putting some on after fusing), but Heroes being what it is, I'm guessing we'll just have to continue speculating like this sadly.

If there was some sort of an explanation like that behind why he doesn't have the regular full set of Metamorean clothing, then I'd have no problem with the design. But as it's already been mentioned, Heroes is just a card game. We probably won't get any explanation (unless Victory Mission manages to touch on it), so his appearance doesn't make sense and I will continue to be grumpy about it. =P

Dear KamiGodkai 19 is freaky as a woman (I know it's not really 19 but it looks like he was gender bent.)

Nakatsuru is the only character designer for GT. All the characters except for the ones done by Toriyama were designed by Nakatsuru.
Did he come up with the idea of having sharp, long noses?

Its about freaking time with this adult Gotenks stuff, but what bothers me the most about his design even though I have no problem with it, is that the designers behind all the what-if characters we've gotten so far have opportunities to go all out with crazy designs for Baby-Janemba and Super Cellventeen but no, they're just lazy reskins yet they actually take a few artistic liberties with Gotenks even though they didn't have too. The Fuck?!

If you class Janemba Baby and Super 17 Cell absorbed as lazy re-skin, then Gotenks Adult is nothing more than a lazy re-skin of Gogeta.

Maybe, but all Metamor Fusions were at the very most meant to be dressed the same (also most of the adult humanoid fighters in DB have the same body type), and being that Gotenks is Gogeta's son its only natural that they look alike and even then they still took some liberties with him having more of Trunk's individual clothes.

Going by what your trying to say, Tiencha is a lazy resin of Gogeta as well.

When Baby possessed Vegeta and absorbed the power of Gohan and the others, the final result looked nothing like Vegeta, yet Baby Janemba looks like Janemba with a Baby's shoulder pads and a few skin color swaps.. LAME

No because Gogeta and Gotenks have the same hair as well.

It's the difference between Baby Vegeta and Janenba Baby. First off, it implies Janenba is in control, hence why he only gets some of Baby's features. Secondly, like you said, Baby needed to absorb additional power in order to further transfigurate himself. Baby Vegeta in his base form is pretty much Vegeta with white hair and shit on his eyes.

I like that we finally got GT Gotenks. I still find it funny that yesterday's fan fiction is now today's reality. It won't surprise me if they make a SSj5 next.

We've never seen base Gogeta and Gotenks has no bangs, plus Gotenks's hair is pretty generic anyway even by DBZ standards because thats probably the only way to find a happy medium between Gotens' more wild hair style as apposed to Trunks's more "elegant" hair style I should say.

Was it ever stated that Janemba was the one in control? I seem to remember seeing gameplay of him and Baby is the one speaking through Janemba. The fact that Janemba has more of Baby's features than Vegeta did at first implies that he was possessed by the the Adult Baby that we see as he tries to retreat from Goku. Otherwise he'd just have some red face tats that we wouldn't be able to see because Janemba's skin is already red.

Totally agree, they could use the Pothala version

No, Adult Gotenks must be less muscular, less tall, and with the obvious color hair change

Fine, whatever, you guys keep the shitty Gotenks cake. I'm done wasting my time discussing it, never even liked him or the kids anyway.

Everyone else: SHITTY ASS RE-SKINS
Adult Gotenks: PINNACLE OF ALL CREATIVITY

Logic.

You're exaggerating dude (no need for the hissy fit either), no one said Adult Gotenks was "DA GREATEST THING EVAR!!1!", its just a cool idea that should've happened in GT or should've happened in a game a long ass time ago and now we're finally getting it, even though he looks a little different from how we all imagined. I'm not the biggest Goten/Trunks/Gotenks fan either but I still like the idea of Gotenks as an adult.

I'm not really a Baby fan but I love Janemba, so I kinda hate that he (Janemba) is being possessed by that creep but I was willing to warm up to the idea if he at least looked cool but he doesn't imo. Thats my main beef with it, is that I think his design is wack its not about originality because technically Baby possessing anyone would be unoriginal because he did that already in the series. Grown up Gotenks isn't original either because Goten and Trunks fused before, when they were children.

I can kinda get on board with the idea of Super Cellventeen... The fact that Super 17 absorbed Cell is kinda neat to me in a sense that its pay back for #17 but again his design sucks balls imo..

Something thats completely original isn't going to be liked by everybody (see Super Saiyan God) and even if people like the idea they probably won't like the design or how something was executed (Again see SSJGod or GT as whole).

But like you said lets be do with it.. for now I guess.. Agree to disagree..

Nah, very unlikely. Cell Jr.-absorbed Broli is more likely. :P
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.
