I second this. His Buu arc outfit is one of my favorites of his.

This seems to get discussed like every page. The Buu Arc outfit is pretty much gone. The only reason he didn't have armor on in the first place during the arc is because the Tenkaichi Budokai didn't allow for it. If it had, said outfit likely wouldn't even exist.

I feel like an evil!Gokû would just be a more ineffective and easily distracted version of Cell, but I wanna see him anyway. :lol:
Evil!Gokû would probably be right at home as a Dr. Slump antagonist.

I also want to see Princess!Vegeta after all the talking the boards did about her yesterday, but I don't want to get my hopes up.

Stop being a party blooper, Boo Arc outfit is awesome! Vegeta should know that fighting with armor makes he a coward, look to Goku... Did Goku fight using a armor? No. Vegeta should look up more on it, not saying that Vegeta should use a dogi or whatever, just a variation of his Boo Arc outfit

Really hated his Buu outfit. The Armor makes him feel more like himself to me. I loved the new costume he had in RF, wish he had it in Super.

And one reason I didn't want more universes is because of different versions of characters, and all the stupid stuff we could get. Wouldn't mind if they're totally different worlds altogether, but female versions of Goku and Vegeta, yeah, no thanks.

The Buu Arc outfit is my favorite of his (minus maybe F). The moment it was mentioned in the JSAT that the armor is Saiyan formal wear though (same as Goku's dogi is to him) and then was featured again in Battle of Gods as well, I gave up on seeing the jumpsuit (sans armor) become his standard outfit. It's just not who Vegeta is, so I don't expect to see it return in battle without special circumstances like another Tenkaichi Budokai. Maybe for training...

I'm kinda hoping gohan either goes back to his Piccolo style gi or puts on his Saiyaman outfit. I really liked the look when it didn't have the cape.
-vegeta wearing no armor
I'd like to it happen more often. Also if the tournament never allow armor in, i wonder why Vegeta's outfit didn't have sleeves? Most, if not all, his armor wearing outfits had long sleeves and sometimes had turtle necks as well.

side note: IIRC in the special "Goku and friends return" episode Vegeta says in that wearing Battle armor was a saiyan's formal wear, So i kinda doubt he'll stop wearing the armor through out the show. At very least I'd like to see him in earth like causal wear for a fight or two. (Vegeta wearing Badman shirt again would be cool)

I actually liked the color scheme for each one at that point. Goku=Red/Orange, Vegeta=blue, Gohan=Green.

I don't know if Vegitto would like to cease to exists. He is a person on his own after all. Last time it happened because he didn't know it would affect him.

Well, it's weird to apply top Dragon Ball, but the medieval knights in Europe wore the armors as formal wear too, including weddings (for which occasions, they had ornamented special one).
I don't see that weird in case of Vegeta. More so, the Saiyan armor is irrelevant among the huge powers present in Dragon Ball.

This just in:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/20 ... led/.89372

Relevant bits:

Dragon Ball Super's story will take place shortly after the decisive battle with Majin Buu, and will contain plot elements that tie it to the recent Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' film. The characters Beerus and Whis will return from the Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods and Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' films as regular characters in the series.

The magazine also contains a preview of the first episode's story:

After defeating Majin Buu, life is peaceful once again. Ordered by Chi-chi to earn money, Goku works even as he wants to train even more. Meanwhile, Goten, about to become a brother-in-law to Videl, sets out on a journey with Trunks to find her a present.


So the follow-up to Videl's pregnancy confirms it's post-BoG and apparently it's gonna reach RoF eventually.

So... DB Super's first episode will be... Before that of even the 2008 OVA Special? Huh...

First episode will have Goku working as a farmer and Goten looking for a present for Videl? Loving it already!

Also the return of Jouji Yanami is great news! :D This is looking really good so far. This is the kind of stuff I want.

How's that? Despite the Majin Buu introduction, pretty much all the known plot elements so far (Beerus and Whis' presence, Goten after a gift for Videl) imply it's after the BoG events too, so it can't be set before the ova.

Maybe the "Buu" mention is just trying to connect it with Kai, as Super will succeed it.

Videl was Gohan's wife in Battle of Gods, so this seems to start off at least a little before that if Goten is about to be her brother-in-law. The question is whether it is also before the JSAT special or if they might be retconning it out of existence with this new version of those events? If they aren't doing a retcon, then I would guess this takes place after the JSAT special since the character designs are different (BOG). I'm not talking about clothes either, I mean things like Videl's hair.
