Goten's current design

Post by Kappa » Tue Feb 28, 2023 1:00 pm

Do you guys like Goten's new design? I personally think it's pretty cool but I would like it more if he had Cabba's hairstyle.

I like his current hairstyle, looks like his grandma Gine. And Gohan already has Cabba’s hairstyle.

Yeah, sure. I think his current depiction both in terms of hair and clothes and his personality are a lot of fun. He's a great (bisexual) straight man.

Best design he's had imo.

Characterization is actually starting to happen as well. Finally.

Cabbas's hairstyle? We had Goku No.2, now you want Gohan No.2?

The way he is drawn in the manga now is nice. He also avoids accidentally looking like Yamcha.

I like his look. There's shades of Goku in his appearance but he's definitely unique.

The Cabba hair is the most used hairstyle in DB now so I'd rather take a break from it. We already had Gohan, Cabba, Time Patroller, and even Tarble (kinda). I think we had others as well but can't remember.
Big fan of the characters of Dragon Ball, all of them, especially formerly prominent sub-characters. -__-

Yeah haha, I think Goten looks better with short hair. (I like his GT hairstyle but I like Cabba's more).

I like it, his SS design I like even more, looks kinda like Cell Games Gohan.

Amen to that. I like how his new design reflects that characterization too, especially in the manga – you can see a bit of Goku in there, but he's mostly his own guy with his own personality.

I didn't think the series would ever take his character in this direction, so it's good that I can actually give a damn about him now.

Garbage. He looks too much like Cell Games Gohan, to the point where I literally saw people confuse him with Gohan when he appeared in the movie. If you hated his GT design for looking too much like Gohan, or his EoZ design for looking too much like Yamcha, then you should also hate this design for being too similar to Cell Games Gohan's design.

I await for the day Goten will finally get an unique design for himself, but that will likely never happen.

They thought Gohan got shorter and changed hair in the middle of the movie...?

I prefer his EoZ design, hoping they switch to that eventually.

Honestly, I love this look! Of course, I wish he was wearing his EoZ baggy t-shirt. I feel like it brought the shaggy, Yamcha-like look together.
