Am I the only one that actually likes Zen-Oh?

Post by Xeztin » Sat Nov 26, 2016 2:32 pm

Basically as the title says, am I the only one that likes Zen-Oh? At first, I wasn't too intrigued by his child-like appearance and nature. I thought he should have been more "Zeus" like at first. However, Zen-Oh in the Black arc was pretty cool! We actually see that even though he is ignorant to a lot of things that happen in the universes and timelines, he's serious when he needs to be. He literally wiped the timeline clean without any feeling or remorse what-so-ever. I saw a side of him even more cold than Freeza at that point, he honestly doesn't care who dies or who lives. His design also through me off at first, but it's really growing on me! I'm kind of glad we don't have this serious "God". It's really everything no one expected like SSJR.

I find him very entertaining as well. His childlike conduct and friendship with Goku are aspects I find appealing. And he definitely rivals Freeza in his coldness. My hopes for Zen'ō in the future are placed towards his friendly side, with some empty threats likened to his "Shut up. I'll erase you." to his attendants in #55.

I don't know how you got that impression, I've only seen positive reception for Zeno's character.

I'm increasingly disliking this new God hierarchy the more I see of it.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

This is all a metaphor. Toriyama is secretly nihilistic and by telling us that the Gods are childish, neglectful fucks, he wants to tell us that life is one big joke.

I've seen quite a bit of dislike of his design and nature, especially when he was first introduced. It wasn't really a Negative reception but it wan't the most loved either.

I'm neutral about him. I wanted to see Zamasu and Gokû Black punished into being forced to play with him, but instead we just got a second Omni King and I was disappointed. I like his Togepi voice though.

He's..."fine". But i really hate his design. And his friendship with Goku is a bad thing.

Oh believe me, I've been getting that vibe for years now :P

It says something when Freeza's empire is the only effective form of government we've seen in the whole series.

I'm going to be honest here, i really hated his design, it was just weird for me to think as Zeno as the strongest, and i knew that Toriyama wasl always doing that kind of stuff, but i still was dissapointed.

But after listening to his voice and seeing more of his character, i ended up liking him, i mean,the only reason i disliked this little god before was because i thought that he was going to be a serious character with short temper, but in the end, he's just a baby like character and i find him really cute. And to think that this guy is responsible of million of deaths, that's just hilarious.
I really miss ma boy, Black :( :cry:

I couldn't be more indifferent to Zeno. His existence can't have any long-term consequence, not unless we go past the EoZ.

I didn't like him at first but his scenes are easily among the franchise's best and hopefully we'll get a lot more of him in the future.

Nope. I've loved Zeno since his introduction and so have a lot of the fanbase.

I don't like him. His design is trash, his character personality is trash, and I don't like how strong he is. The only reason I don't flat out hate him is because he's sometimes slightly humorous.

I agree on every point except for the last one about him being humorous.

I don't mind Zeno at all. However, I will say this and I don't care if this raises eyebrows: Zeno's design and childish personality doesn't fit the Bruce Falcouner Funimation old school DBZ that I came to love given how strong he is.

To be fair, this is most likely a result of different intentions. The older FUNimation dub and the Japanese version are two vastly differing views on DBZ.

I don't care for Zeno's character at all and his design is one of the worst designs in the entire franchise.
