That gets the point across and Gohan's in character. Even if Gohan didn't specify Goku, Piccolo would still assume it was Goku because even Piccolo admires Goku.
That works better. I meant that more as a joke towards those group of fans, cause trust me I see them now and again and it gets under my skin. I wouldn't want Gohan to just disrespect my man Piccolo like that either.
It's amazing how many people legit think Gohan sees Piccolo more as a father. No disrespect to my bro Piccolo of course, and yeah, it really makes no sense to believe that. Gohan greatly respects Piccolo, almost as much as his father. But he's made it pretty clear he values his father... as his father.

Awesome poster still though.
My thoughts exactly. Now we're supposed to believe Kid Trunks always had also blue hair. And they are still kids too.
Aside of that, yeah the poster is cool...
Toriyama has been consistently drawing Bulma and Trunks with Blue hair since BoG. It took until RoF and Super for Toei to get the idea with Bulma's hair and the FT Arc in regards to the popular version of Trunks.
Maybe it's time they finally draw all of them with blue hair.

Toriyama is never consistent when colouring characters. Recently he draw a green Pillaf and #18 with white hair.

I'm pretty sure that's how he usually colors those characters, I definitely have green Pilaf and grey 18 in my manga's colored pages. Maybe they're different somewhere else, though.

Okay, so I just checked, and she is drawn with blonde hair in a colored chapter right around the time Cell absorbs 17. However, that's the only instance I can find. Then again, that's the only fully colored chapter with 18 in it, so take your pick.

It was the opposite way, Piccolo was very worn out and 17 not because Artificial humans have infinite stamina.

Besides Goku and Vegeta, I also see the androids, Krillin and Gohan getting good treatments.

In Krillins case its most likely because of having the same voice as Luffy(OP is Toei flagship show) and lets be glad Toei likes Gohan and might have some plans for him.

Thing when I said Piccolo might be the jabronie of the team is because he has been treated as a very minor character, even mocked in the Trunks saga when he was gonna tell Goku how to use the Mafuba.

With Toriyama being a forgetful mangaka, he mightve forgotten Piccolo was his favorite character :|
You say he got mocked but the most important thing is that Toei gave him a role which saved Trunks' life while Gohan and Krillin got nothing. Piccolo is a huge character in the Dragonball franchise and is not going to be put to behind Gohan, Krillin, 17 and 18 like so many of you think.

Too many of you are looking too much into a nonsense poster which has Goku and Vegeta in ranger gear.

17 is not Future Trunks so do not expect as much screen time as Future Trunks did.

There is no hype for Gohan, his episodes were about him making a movie. Even in the episode 78 preview card he does not want to fight.

Vegeta, Piccolo, Buu and Tien need no screen time they
would be expected to get results in a tournament setting. I expect these 4 and Goku to be the Big players.

Dragon Ball manga, Dragon Ball Z Battle of Gods Official Movie Guide, Dragon Ball "refreshed" manga spine art. Toriyama simply colors in adherence to his artistic sense instead of "established" palettes utilized by the anime staff.

If you look at openings, endings, movies, filler, and actual canon Gohan has always had a bigger role than Piccolo. If someone like him can get sidelined, Piccolo can too. Better put up your guard for this tournament.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

That is a generic opening and Piccolo literally has the least screen time in that opening out of every character so means nothing.

The new opening will be a better indicator for the tournament as it is dedicated to the arc.

Based on Super so far Piccolo fans should have more hope than Gohan fans in this arc.

Based on Super I'd agree I guess. But just because something doesn't support your argument doesn't mean it doesn't matter.

I just hope the new opening does not just focus on Goku as this arc is about team Universe 7 and not just him.

I don't get why both gohan and piccolo fans bickering with each other considering both characters are treated like shit in super if anything you should hope both have a good moment in the arc.

If you read what was said, you wouldn't be saying this. All I'm saying is that anything could happen and he should put his guard up for dissapointment. I've said that about Gohan too.

Super so far gave the fans what they want.Trunks,Vegetto,an evil Goku blah blah blah.It's safe to bet that Gohan & Piccolo will get their chance to shine since they fan favourites.Same goes for the Androids.

Seriously, I don't get the Gohan and Piccolo fan bickering. As someone who loves both characters and hates how both have been turned into practically tertiary characters in Super, I just don't understand why it has to be one or the other. Why can't we just hold out hope that BOTH will do something cool at some point?
