Least favorite character designs?

Amiable-Akuma · Post by **Amiable-Akuma** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 7:57 pm

The "most favorite" thread was fun - and there are about 6 billion characters between DB, Z, GT and the movies - so now we're doing this. Thanks.

Anyway. Out of all the character designs that are out there - which are your least favorite? Which do you think are the most generic, most stupid, most ugly, most silly, or whatever?

I'll start:

The character design of the Ox King when you first see him in DB at Mount Frypan - is one of the weirdest, most fucked up ever. I don't know if that was Toriyama's intent there or if he was copying some design from the old "Journey to the West" story (which he originally based DB on) or what - but it is definitely fugly...and perplexing any time I see it.

Any thoughts on this? Opinions and additions? Bring 'em on...

Okay! I call any GT character!

I didn't like multi-colored Saiyan saga Vegeta. I also didn't like Gohan on Namek.

I didn't like Gohan with that damn bowl cut.

Dr. Kochin from DBZ Movie #2. He's a pretty ugly dude.

Who were 'ya expecting Tom Cruise?

<--cliche response that I couldn't resist. I always hated the Capsule Corp. spacesuits. I was never a fan of Piccolo's clothes without change near the collar. It made him look like he was wearing a bib. I thought Piccolo's design was perfect when he had the V-neck.[/old-navy]Once again, answers containing GT are seen as your Bizzaro post:

I actually kinda like Ox King's design, he was first met to be kind of a scary character (then we learn he's a big softy

) One of my most hated would be Bebi. In ALL of his lame forms.

Mentioning "Baby" has reminded me of how much I hate the way the similarly named "Babidi" looks. I can't STAND him! I want to grab him by his snout-like mouth and chop it off with an axe!

I didn't like Yajirobe's design; I have no idea what Toriyama was thinking about introducing a short, pudgy wild man with tiny eyes and super strength (at the time anyways) and it really didn't get better as the series went on. I thought the moustach was a nice touch though.

Tambourine, Nouva, and Eise Shenron all bug me. Those wings couldn't possibly support flight, and just look strange sticking out of their backs like that. Tambourine would've been fine if they had removed his wings or made them bigger, but I didn't like anything about the two shadow dragon designs.

Other than those I can't really think of any designs I out-right hated, I'm very forgiving with Toriyama's art style I guess.

GT Vegeta with moustache...

Pui Pui (3rd form Freeza ripoff)...

GT. The robot "team" that fights Goku on M2 before General Rild. (I forget their names, but they looked clunky, chunky, and lame.) I know Toei and/or Toriyama could come up with better robot designs...

Early DB Bulma. She just didn't look all that appealing to me (too much like a preteen rather than someone who's 16.)... I never understood why Roshi and Yamcha had the hots for her. Now Buu-era Bulma is a different story!

GT Goten, I prefer the end of DBZ hairstyle then the phone carrying weakling.

Bebi by a mile; only Vegeta with that mustache comes close.

I love Gotens mullet

I didn't like present GT trunks though...his hair was just so different. It takes purple to a whole new level. It's not light lavender like his counter parts but it's PURPLE!!!!

He looks like some strange mixture of Puerto Rican and Mexican with some chiuahua mixed in with insanity for some zing.

I would have to say Buu saga Krillin. I just can't get used to him with hair.
