Does anyone else actually like Gohan's tracksuit?

Post by Wezenheim » Sat Jan 02, 2016 1:41 am

Oddly enough, my recent addiction to the weird little DB mobile game Dokkan Battle inspired this topic as I have SSJ Adult Gohan from 'F' on my current team. Do many others actually like Gohan's tracksuit? Sure it's not a dōgi or anything cool, but I think it helps set Gohan apart from the others and I like it in that same endearing corny way that I enjoyed the Great Saiyaman stuff. Plus I think it compliments the SSJ form in an odd way.
So, what's the consensus on the suit? Also inb4 people use this thread to just make fun of Gohan. :P

I like all the tracksuits that've appeared in Super so far.
Gokû's light blue one is my favorite, but I like Gohan's bright green one too.

The only thing better than the tracksuit in "F" would have been busting out the Saiyaman garb to face Ginyu in Super. But, if he can't find his dogi at this point in the story and decided the tracksuit was his best option, I feel like the transformation watch has probably been misplaced since the last time he used it to defend Pan from Satan too. :/

Oh yeah, Goku did wear one for a few episodes didn't he? I liked his as well.

I feel indifferent. Not that I did not like it, but it does not catch my attention. The same for Movie 14 Goku's tracksuit, although I liked it because of the color scheme.

Curiosity: I just read an interview where Akira Toriyama says his favorite color is green (either that, orange or yellow). So maybe that is why the color of his tracksuit is green. (?)

I hope he hasn't misplaced the watch, I wouldn't mind seeing Saiyaman return sometime (although hopefully not to the point of overusing the gag). Still, I'm actually not really against him wearing the tracksuit more often.

That's one possibility. Another could just be that the Saiyaman top was also green.

Gohan's design in ROF is his best design in the entire series and when he turned SSj,it looked even better.

I also like it. I genuinely think the look suits him, especially as a Super Saiyan. I also think the joke of him not being able to find his gi is pretty funny.

I'd prefer him in his early Boo arc gi, but I'll definitely take this over the orange gi. He looks good in it, but just doesn't stand out.

Gohan's Saiyaman outfit on 25th Budokai without the shades and bandana is also pretty cool,green really suits well for Gohan.

I actually really like it. I like it for the same reason I love the Saiyaman outfit, and that is that it is his own outfit, and not him trying to copy someone else's outfit (Goku/Piccolo). it makes him different from the others. Plus, as said above, green really suits Gohan.

I never had a problem with his tracksuit. I remember when a lot of people were saying it looked dorky when we first got to see it, but hey - it's Gohan. He is kind of a dork. :P

Heck, I used that outfit a fair few times on my created character in Xenoverse even.

Eh. I dislike the hair, and the green is too bright.

Nope. Didn't like it one bit. I commend them for trying a somewhat unconventional approach but it just didn't sit right with me.

Are you referring to his base form hair? If so, I actually agree with you.

I also really like his early Boo gi.

That's pretty much my line of reasoning. Plus it fits with the whole dorky Gohan thing, which is awesome.

Gohan is at his best when he's being dorky in my opinion!

I agree with this as well.

I love it, as well as all of F's outfits, it's one of my favorite looks for him. The reason he's wearing it is so ridiculously in-character, too.

I also like the hair style, I just thought I'd mention it, even though you didn't ask :P

Anyone else thing his hairstyle will change/grow out after the champa arc? (Since he doesn't appear in the manga)
Also I like his tracksuit actually, it does indeed suit him.

I really like the tracksuit. I just feel like something Gohan would totally wear. A lot of the designs in Resurrection F were really good.

I think it looks really really good. Not too fond of the super-skinny design, but just looking at that second picture you posted, Gohan looks awesome!

I love it. It's simple, but stylish. It's not too often we see the characters fight in more casual clothes, so I really liked the aspect of it just being something thrown together on the quick.

It's for this reason that I was hoping to see Goten get something different in Super.

I mean... he did, technically, but instead of putting him in something new that helps him stand out it turned out to be an outfit variation that more closely clones him to Goku than ever before.

Oh... uh, no problems with Gohan's tracksuit for me.
