When should Dragon Ball Super use the end of Z character designs/have Goten and Trunks grow up?

Cuz I really love Goku and Trunks end of Z designs. That blue gi is cool.

P.S, on the subject of this, should they add Adult Goten and Trunks into video games?

As soon as possible, I agree, and yes. That's my short answer. :lol:

Dragon Ball Super has had a problem with people seemingly never changing, and we've been aware of this since the beginning of the series. Remember how back in the day we (some of us) thought that they hid Goten and Trunks during Resurrection F because they had grown? Good times... Now we're in the arc after the arc after Resurrection F, but they still look the same as during Battle of Gods. Heck, Goten seems younger than ever in some scenes. Marron looks and acts like a toddler when she should be around 7, Goten and Trunks haven't really changed from the Buu saga yet, Bulla hasn't appeared at all yet... Since we're in the Future Trunks arc right now, there probably won't be a time skip until after the arc is over. When the arc ends, I think that they really should move on to EoZ times and have the next generation grow up.

And yeah, some of the EoZ designs are neat! Honestly I like almost all of them. Bulma and 18 look a bit silly, but Goku and Vegeta look good, Trunks and Pan look pretty alright, Goten looks really cute and Bulla is the most adorable thing ever. For your postscript, I think so. If nothing else, EoZ Trunks could be an alternate costume for GT Trunks, who usually already is in video games. That wouldn't be a very difficult addition to make. Any form of adult Goten showing up would be neat, either GT or EoZ, since he really is underrepresented, especially considering how many Trunks slots there are when you have Kid Trunks, Future Trunks and GT Trunks.

I'd like to see them salvage the EoZ outfits in Super because I think EoZ will be rewritten or changed. I really like Goku's gi but would they really have it over his new RoF outfit? I'd like for them to use his EoZ outfit instead of his classic dogi that they are using right now. Switching between that and the RoF outfit would be cool but I also want brand new outfits.

I really doubt you'll see it in Super.
I learned english listening to songs. So I don't know anything about. The day you had to learn play piano by just listening .mp3, you'll understand.

I'd have to agree fully with this. I feel like that is such a great outfit that it should be brought back or at least make one of that design but in a different color. Much like the one in the DBZ Legends booklet that is the same design except it's white and has yellow wristbands.

It would be cool, but I doubt it will happen. Super is set 10 years before the end of DBZ probably because the character designs from the Buu saga era are too iconic and timeless to get rid of. I think Toei and Bandai are worry if they made everyone older, fans may not like it. I remember fans have mixed feelings for the GT designs for the main cast (Goten, Vegeta and Gohan designs where not very liked while Trunks design was hit or miss with people).

But still, no Bulla and teen Goten and Trunks. For gods sake, GOTEN AND TRUNKS
