Favourite GT Villain Designs?

Post by Gonstead » Mon Aug 20, 2012 11:22 pm

As not so great as GT is with it's story, it did have some cool designs from time to time.

Personally my favorite one definitely has to be Bebi Vegeta.

I don't know why but I just really like this design for some reason. The yellow, red, black and whites match up really well with the simpleness of the costume.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

I don't care what anyone says, Super 17 looks cool. When drawn properly, anyway.

I really love Rilld's designs. All of his forms have a great sense of manliness to them that perfectly fit in with Dragon Ball after it began to dip into the manly shounen pool. I also love Baby's various forms, espicially Super Baby-Vegeta 2, it shows off a nice perversion of Vegeta's body into Baby's form. Yeah, that was a difficult sentence to write and read over for me too.

Also, Mutchi has a really badass design. It's a shame he was wasted on a Last House episode. Bring on Dragon Ball GT: Mutchi no Fukushu! :lol: :D :P

Wow this is hard, I really like Super 17, his height, his clothes. I also dig Super Yī Xīng Lóng's design too. However, I feel the final form of Bebi (the human like one) takes the cake. His much darker, mostly black outfit fit the pallete theme of GT along with his white hair, which isn't something we had seen prior before on a main villain (not counting elderly hair).

Oozaru Baby. I just love that monkey.
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.

I know he's not a GT original, but he was redesigned for the show. For some reason, I just love "grandpa" Pilaf. I always imagine him yelling at kids to get off his lawn and reminiscing about how he could have ruled the world in his prime if it weren't for that little brat who always foiled his plans.

It's a toss up between Super 17 and Super Baby 2.

Does backstory count towards design? Because the whole idea of Super 17 being what the original 17 was intended to be is kind of neat.

I've always liked Super Baby 2's design.

Bebi's form after coming to Earth. I don't know if it's my favorite, but I like it a lot.

Argh, I've always thought so too.

Anyway, GT is full of great design work. I love all of Baby's designs, from his creepy infant form to giant monkey. I also second Super 17 looking cool. And I really like some of the Evil Dragons, particularly Liu Xing-Long (sp?).

I love the look of Nova and Ice Shenron

The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

I've always liked General Rilldo's metallic form, and some of the Evil Dragons.
Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.

No love for Omega Shenron yet? I'm surprised. I loved his design, especially with all the spikes on his back. The Dragon Thunder attack was just brutally awesome.

- My first reaction to Super 17? - "That is one cool design".

Really like Bebi's designs too. All of them are solid. I don't love the Dragons though. They're not bad, just not great.

Gohan with the suit (not gi) he wore during some of his fights. It looked awesome.

EDIT: When he was taken over by Bebi.

I've always thought Super 17 had a really neat design. And Baby Vegeta is kind of cool.
