It's funny that big boy gohan styles his hair specifically to recapture that one magic moment

excuse me but he clearly styles his hair after his role model yamcha

I bet the entire reason they had yamcha grow his hair back out is so he and gohan don't look similar

Putting Gohan in orange gi didn't help much either.

why Gohan didn't get the purple gi again I'll never know. It was like, right there! it would have been a fan service play but drat wouldn't it have looked good

I guess if you read between the lines the last time Gohan wore the orange gi he messed up royally against Buu and so he wanted to restore honor to it by using it in the ToP and winning

Remember when Tien lost his arm against Nappa? That was weirdly dark, which kinda sums up the whole Saiyan Saga really.

“So you know all your favorite characters from Dragon Ball? They all die gruesomely and rather easily!”

man thinking about it EVERYONE got hosed up in that fight, even goku spent a good chunk on his back due to self-destructing from kaio-ken overuse

that fight is still the one time in shounen that a double-edged power has had serious in-fight consequences i think

Gohan during Cell looks jacked beyond belief considering he is supposed to be ~11.

They come out of the chamber early but he spent a solid 8 months or so doing nothing but high intensity training with someone who could only be considered a professional trainer by any given standard and all the food/necessities he needs to facilitate proper training.
It'd be stranger if he wasn't.

It's like in My Hero Academia at the start when Deku spends the best part of a year training with All Might to get in good shape but the story carries on like he's utterly inept at physical feats by regular human standards. Immersion breaking.

I'm betting Frieza is going to make some wish with the Super Dragon Balls, become a God among Gods and kill Beerus and maybe even Zen-Oh. Since people can become Gods of Destruction and Goku \ Vegeta may be candidates, I have a feeling that Beerus is going to die and it's going to be very sad.

I know it's Dragon Ball and everyone comes back from death, but when Champa and the Universe 6 guys got erased, it was a really bittersweet moment. Even though I'm sure they will come back and Vegeta said that's what he wants his wish to be. Maybe Vegeta will bring Sadala to Universe 7, rebuild the Saiyan race and truly be the Prince of All Saiyans for real.

Alternatively, Freeza wishes for godhood greater than Zen-o's and turns into Toriyama. He then has to spend eternity writing about how great Goku is while getting yelled at by editors.

He's still never much a have-not and it's a major part of his strife because he doesn't feel like the power is his own or that maybe its better with someone else or if he never got it.

Go back to My Hero Academia. It's really freaking good, especially in the second season
It completely dodges the make the mistake that Naruto where it felt like the "underdog" was given a free pass to success by total circumstance. Whatever Deku is given, its because he went above and beyond earning it.

It's definitely not "insanely good" though. It's very solid most of the time which makes it stand out against its peers though, imo.

The manga has him wear Piccolo's clothes again, and it is good. Toyotarou did good in changing that bad decision for a good one.

Also FighterZ has his second colour choice be purple gi with white undershirt and I can't use any other colour. Gohan needs to be purple.

Gohan looked good in that movie where he's still SSJ2 Teen Gohan where he reps Goku's gi. Bojack I think? It has the long orange haired female character too.

He should be Piccolo's son repping purple outside of that movie.

So, in playing Dragonball FighterZ, I noticed that Recoome’s sweet Austrian Arnold-inspired voice is gone and instead he just has a looney tunes retard voice

I never went back and watched the redubs or Kai, but did they really change his voice up like that? It sounds so foreign and wrong

E: ^^ Goku’s Whis outfit looks loving stupid

Vegetal should have kept his since Bulma made it special though.

They should've kept them but mostly because Goku and Vegeta's outfit changes show their character development and going back on that wastes a great concept. Then again, that's not the fault of Super, since Yo! Son Goku and his Friends are Back hosed that one up first.

Also Vegeta as Super Saiyan Blue with the blue undersuit is too much blue and it's a bit overwhelming. His new form recolours it a darker blue and it works much better though.

Fun fact: the current Heroes saga has the "Xeno" and Super-ish versions of Goku and Vegeta meet (and Super!Trunks and Mai appearing). They use customized versions of the Whis outfits: both of them replace Whis' symbol with the Capsule Corp. one (it genuinely surprises me that Bulma never put her own trademark on Vegeta's armours before) and Goku also still wears his blue undershirt.

I've seen pictures on the internet of roided up kids who are stupidly ripped so while gohan is obviously over emphasised, it's possible for kids to be jacked. Pretty much child cruelty and inhumane, but possible.

You might be confusing the official dub with DBZA or the ocean dub, who both gave Recoome a not terrible voice

Feeling hammy
For Frieza, I like to think that he’s been quietly breaking his limits off-camera the last few episodes. Getting his rear end kicked has actually been pretty similar to what happened before Goku & Vegeta broke their limits:

- Being hakai’d was like Goku spirit bombing himself.
- Being beaten up and head kicked unconscious was like Kefla ko’ing Goku with a headkick.
- Being within Jiren’s blast radius with 17 was somewhat similar to Vegeta being blasted before breaking his limit.

Obviously, the writers have added those scenes of Frieza commenting on UI for a reason. They want to crush our hopes and make us all sad.

...can't it just be Freeza being a cocky-rear end motherfucker that thinks he has everything under control until he gets completely wrecked? Also I can't think of anything dumber than Space Hitler getting a shonen powerup moment during the heat of battle.
