It's too early to tell, but Goku's Gi looks the same as either his EoZ or RF ones, he doesn't have the durable clothes underneath like usual.

Could also just be a flashback shot of his RoF Gi.

You know, I wouldn't hate these slideshow EDs so much if there was actual movement in it. Maybe Gohan writing in that book, or flipping through the pages? I know that's more drawings and more work, but jeez. I wonder if there will even be an actual background of a study, office space, lab, or wherever Gohan would conduct work, or if it's just going to be a purple splotch.

I will say that Gohan, in that drawing, does seem a little looser and freer than Yamamuro's rigid character designs tend to be. Here's hoping he doesn't go overboard with everything being on-model.

How does this point to EoZ?. That Gohan looks like the one from RoF manga, we don't yet know when this is taking place - it could be post Z, but we don't know yet.

Because that's EoZ Gohan's design.

It doesn't amount to anything. It's fans doing what they love best: jumping to conclusions! If anything, having an ED that details the end of Z could well mean everything in Super is before it.

With that said, I don't think that looks anything like Gohan in Fukkatsu no F.

ImageImage

It's almost definitely his EoZ look. Though that could just mean Super decided to adopt that look over the design from the movie.

We still know nothing.

Still confirms nothing. He could have changed his look shortly after RoF, we don't know when he started looking that way.

Is there a post proclaiming "yes, definitely, here we go, hype train!"? I haven't seen it.

Of course nothing is definitive, but no one said it was.

Although it's the end of Z hairstyle, Gohan didn't wear that specific outfit in the last two chapters, so it seems to be a new design rather than a flashback (or flashforward) ending sequence.

It actually resembles GT Gohan's suit more than anything, but there are some differences too, like the extra lines around the blazer, square glasses and shorter hair.

I think they do look similar (RoF Manga and his EoZ look) apart from the haircut, and obvious differences, Manga drawn by Toriyama, and "F" by Toyotaro, so style wise, they do differ.

I merely asked how this picture of Gohan proves it to be EoZ, as people were jumping to conclusions. Is it wrong that I don't want people to be disappointed?.

Fans and their thoughts of a minor detail being some sort of mathematical proof of something.

Yay Goku either FnF clothes or EoZ. Either way just a change of clothe color or anything would be awesome. Gohan looks like a professor (Chichi must be so proud) July 5 seems so far away....

Is everyone forgetting how Battle of Gods had Gohan in a similar look before the fighting started? EoZ hairstyle, glasses, and the outfit he wears is closer to that image than what he wears in EoZ!

So if they're already giving that look to Gohan, Super could still be placed anywhere.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

Let's hope Gohan doesn't cement his position as the next Yamcha in Super.

I just wanna see some Vegeta and child!Bra. I remember one of the kanzenban era guidebooks talking about how they're close.
I want to say it said she had him wrapped around her finger, but I don't have the source. Either way it made it seem like the humor potential was high for them.

Of course, yes. I had somehow forgotten about that.

I wonder why Toriyama changed his style again for RoF?.

Thanks for the reminder, Saiga.

Yes but Gohan changed his hairstyle for RoF, and then back to this style, but yes I agree Super could still be placed anywhere. Unless it is indeed just flashback shots for the ending

I hope we see Vegeta's EoZ outfit. I'm sick and tired of the Saiyan armors.

I hope not. I would like Gohan to recapture his Buu Arc potential. He deserves to be a major player.
