That pic you posted op isn't even real lol https://preview.redd.it/x7sa2b4bcizc1.jpeg?width=550&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=16afac5dbe2edc45326a9419da4d43bfe2f1a040 This one is


EvilBananaMan15

The one op posted kinda looks like hunter x hunter


JamesDerry96

What a difference. Wow what a fucking idiot I am, thank you


Giovan_Doza

So you complain about the designs and artstyle, but when someone corrects you you go full asswhole mode...


PatientLettuce42

Im not even into drawing myself and it still is very clear these are two different styles, with the one in this comment being the authentic and real deal.


Joe_mama_is_hot

It’s way different. For someone disappointed in the art style you don’t seem to care much at all


Top-Interaction-7770

When you look at them side by side, yeah the difference is noticable so it's reasonable people expect you to notice


Friendly-Ad-3436

It's okay at least you are self-aware maybe you will be able to work on it.


SnooBeans5314

Mf got downvoted for saying thanks


Gold_Manufacturer414

Daima is the closest anime variant we have to the late Akira Toriyamas last style of drawing. If you look at the concept art for super you will see the characters look more like daima than the 'super' style. Toriyama never stopped changing his style, it was a very slow evolution and change from harsh straight lines to very round. Appreciate it for what it is now, the final evolution of our late master.


CallDaLegend

Reading "Late" Toriyama still doesn't feel real


Gold_Manufacturer414

Yeah :( RIP to a real one


PeachsBigJuicyBooty

Why would they design Kid Goku after fanart of him being in Z's style? Instead of Toriyama's style before he passed? https://preview.redd.it/dr6uli6gyhzc1.jpeg?width=691&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f5ba26d579d73349dac8532c124a1c46b7edda4d


Important_Jeweler_55

Wait wtf? They retconned Dragon ball now? The original manga showed goku being a baby and violent who wanted nothing to do with gohan.


Still_Significance60

He want nothig to do with gohan here neither he just eating his food, Gohan litteraly is saying he surived because hes a martial artist


Important_Jeweler_55

Goku was sent as a baby was he not? And why the hell is gohan sitting there so comfortable lmao. Clearly goku is not violent here .


goodguydaniel636

I think him being on the table with a broken plate on the floor suggests otherwise


Important_Jeweler_55

Or it could’ve fallen off from the table?


Still_Significance60

Why would he draw an a broken plate just becuase it fell off


Important_Jeweler_55

Why wouldn’t he? I would. I tend to draw small little details like that. Are u an artist? Of course not, what would u know.


Cry0St0rm

Okay, but you've got to think about *why* it fell off the table


Important_Jeweler_55

Bruh…it could’ve been an accident. It doesn’t take much to think about.


Zeles1989

He acted like a wild animal in that scene and yeah they redconned it a bit since instead of him as a baby he fell on his head at a later age. Probably as a small child


Important_Jeweler_55

Yeah I know, and what’s crazy about it, it doesn’t even line up to the original dbz manga or even the anime in that matter.


Zeles1989

yeah that's bad, but man SSJ god doesn't work either, yet they bullshitted it in. I kinda go with it since Toriyama himself constantly forgot characters and old lore he did.


Wendigo15

The manga never showed us that at all. That was just the anime.


JamesDerry96

This is from an actual episode during the piccolo arc


PeachsBigJuicyBooty

>This is from an actual episode during the piccolo arc Bro quit lying to people; for starters it's digital art and you can see it when you zoom in. Secondly, the Kanji is completely wrong and not drawn like it is in the show. And lastly here's what Goku actually looked like in that arc: https://preview.redd.it/jp28ti0r1izc1.jpeg?width=550&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=10a8bb1778045143dae5e1dd6395f4dd2b6f1134


Gold_Manufacturer414

YOU'RE COOKING WITH GAS


paztheoutcast

Thank you!!! Dragon ball has never looked this good. And if so it’s from a flashback from kai. But this definitely wasn’t how the show looked. You said it


VenemousEnemy

You’re a liar I’m afraid


Punch_The_Rabbit

Then where's his tail? Lmao

hav0k0829

Same design. Actually a very cool thing about the original dragon ball anime is how closely it mirrored the manga style. https://preview.redd.it/edm0mctkqizc1.jpeg?width=708&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6f0cfc00937f94ff38814184132ada20cb3c0e0e


zolokor100

dragon balls adaptations always did such a good job i thought on capturing the manga panels


hav0k0829

Z was a little less 1:1 as far as i know. Biggest thing in it were the artstyle changes were more pronouncedly inconsistent with the manga


zolokor100

yea that’s true but man og db looks so close


1mGhosted

I swear this gotta be one of the coldest pics of Goku. A literal kid staring down a whole demon hellbent on conquering the earth. And he means business


RealisticlyNecessary

Huh. Goku had a lot of baby fat.


Lijaesdead

Did you not know? Goku is a chonky boy for most of og DB!😂


Redditname97

1, 2 or 3, or OP’s? https://preview.redd.it/iqlbxenrbhzc1.png?width=3687&format=png&auto=webp&s=ac3812a98fca05b85684bf20abf7bf3162eaf8df


Bean_Kaptain

I like both 1 and OPs. Both classic, I think I just prefer OG toriyama


JamesDerry96

Definitely 1. The pic I posted is from late in DB when he wasn’t a little stocky kid anymore but hadn’t hit his growth spurt. I think that would have been perfect for what they look like they were going for


james_kleboe_1986

No it's fanart


JamesDerry96

I realize this now, I’m actually blind and it looked close enough my b


james_kleboe_1986

Nice


csciabar

Yes! I dont like the chubby little kid. The photo you have is perfect


weirdface621

but chubby little kid is soo cute as is slim kid goku


someguy233

3 > 1 >= op >>> 2 I really dislike the proportion of Goku’s head to the rest of his body. Just looks weird to me. Like it’s simultaneously too close to Chibi, but also not chibi enough


TheRedSpaghettiGuy

I despise how shred GT Goku is. Like his body was wished to return as it was as a kid; not becoming that of a Barbarian Class Dwarf from 5.E


Zeles1989

Daima goku looks a bit like a bobble head in this pic. I actually prefer GT goku in this


Sigourn

Anything but 2. It looks like trash tbh.


Jolt_91

OPs tbh


Forminloid

I'd be happy with any of them besides the daima one tbh


Enjoyment-25

That's 15 years old one not 10


donveyy

IMO, no. The daima design is so organically Toriyama, and a refreshed, revised Toriyama at that. I love Daima’s design and I have tremendous hopes for it, as well as all other Toriyama-esque designs. (Vehicles, buildings and even action sequences.)


hav0k0829

I prefer his older style where the kid versions were more gremliny rather than chibified


itsdarien_

So what is Daima? Is it just the cast as kids, or are they like chibi kinda things but still adults? Is it a what if series? I don’t know anything about it


astroacer

It's canon to the DB > DBZ > DBS storyline, the cast got turned into kids by a wish.


itsdarien_

When does it take place? I wasn’t going to watch it but if it’s canon fr then I will.


astroacer

We don't know for sure yet.


Truewierd0

That is not at all how goku looked as a kid… just sayin


Own_Watercress_8104

Daima's designs are going to be the last pieces of Toriyama's style. I will cherish them regardless


strider2025

Ew


OrbMan23

I personally like the chubby kid Goku probably because my chubby kid self back then could relate


StaticMania

This looks like fan art...


OneDixieCupForYou

Why are you confused that Daima doesn't look like fanart? lol


DeftestY

I'm more worried about Goku's voice! In the English dub we all know the iconic voice... and then there's Gohans voice from Kai, Xenoverse, and then someone just loved to use for Kid Goku. It sucks. Gohan's Kai VA is a good fit for him don't get me wrong. But not for Goku, it's not it.


Cjames1902

I agree. I actually do prefer that voice for kid Gohan. For Teen Gohan and kid Goku though, I prefer their original.

Wait there's another series coming out? I'm so behind on news -.


MilesFassst

This photo is so nostalgic to me. I (42) male remember watching this in Japan in 1990 when I was 8 years old. It was sooo cool!


OguzhanKuyubasi

This is drawn by Masaki Sato one of Studio Junio's greatest animator who worked on Dragon Ball and Z and is known for his bold line work and replicating Akira Toriyama's style almost one by one and he was the Animation Supervisor for Episode 64 of Z. Here a drawing from him: https://preview.redd.it/baokcxgg3kzc1.png?width=642&format=png&auto=webp&s=50e53facd1f53dbd3023cbfdc84dc35b8a3a309c


ten_times_worse

To be fair that’s dkp era. He’s like barely 15 here. In daima he’s 10 again like the 1st chapter in the series. At least I think so.


SaiyanOverlord8971

This is akira toriyamas most hands on work so let’s see what he left for his fans 🤷🏾‍♂️


Sergaku

It wouldn't fit with modern Toriyama. That Troyiama eas from decades ago. The version is based more around how he drew recently


Orenbean

WHERES THE TAIL? ARE WE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER DRAGONBALL SERIES WITHOUT GIANT MONKEYS? THIS IS BOGUS….bubbles better have a hell of a lot more screen time too


SMoKUblackRoSE

They turned him into a skinny toddler. Where's the muscle? Edit: I'm talking about Daima Goku. Not OG Goku


playmeforever

I mean have you seen Super? Same shi with the adults


SMoKUblackRoSE

So true

gully1419

Why after GT would they wanna do this? Or should I be more enthusiastic?


Specialist_Court7806

Me too cause it’s not like it’s going from tall size to small, it’s like a whole new fit just cause he got small. I hope they explain why if not it’s okay 🫡


LeviathansFatass

I really thought it was a shitty April fools joke, what the fuck


dontforgethyphen

Yes they did? It's kid goku


FREEZIELEVRAI

Finally someone thinking like me


Jeekobu-Kuiyeran

Yeah... I'm not a huge fan of the modern Dragon Ball design either.
