First Look at Goku in Dragon Ball Super


The manga for Dragon Ball Super will begin on June 20th and today, we have our first look at our main protagonist, Goku. Drawn by manga artist Toyotarō, Goku is still rocking his familiar orange gi, with some slight changes. He's swapped Master Roshi's Turtle School emblem for the emblem of Whis/Birus, who are training Goku following the events of Battle of Gods. He' also rocking some very Future-Trunks-esque boots, so perhaps these are made by Capsule Corps. The anime will premiere a month later, in July. Original Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama is credited with creating the story for Dragon Ball Super. Not a lot is now about the new story, other than the fact that it is set a few years after the defeat of Maijin Buu, during a time when the earth is at peace. This new story effectively wipes Dragon Ball GT from continuity.

Great all that time wasted watching DBGT. They have to bring back SS4 though, that is the coolest!

How long does it take for Japanese manga to get translated to English?

@James99201 - No way, Super Saiyan 4 was a joke. Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan look ten times better.

You should probably do more research before you post shit Mark. This has been around since before Revival of F premiered, it's concept art for the film.

I think someone on Reddit confirmed that this artwork was the same used for the manga adaptation for the new movie. For some reason they're saying this is artwork from Dragon Ball Suoer when we really haven't see anything yet

@CaptainAmerica No Offense, but I'll trust the folks over at Anime News Network over you.

@MarkJulian The source Anime News Network links also doesn't mention the artwork being from Dragon Ball Super

This image is not new. It's for the "Resurrection F" movie which premiered in Japan last month.

@aquaman6686 no way. Both ssg and ssgss are visually inferior to ss4. The exaggerated kaio ken and cotton candy saiyan, as I call them.

Never understood the huge following for this property.

@MarkJulian the source that Anime News Network themselves used doesn't mention Goku's look for Dragon Ball Super. All that ANN's source says is the schedule for Dragon Ball Super

Goku with all that food you eat and you lost weight?! Screw you buddy! Seriously though can't wait to see how my favorite anime of all time progresses!!!

Not feeling good about this one... anyhow the first anime wasn't anything of the other world (maybe on that time it was), poor characterization, One Piece got the perfect balance of action, character and story arc. Just hoping this doesn't suck like the last 2 DB movies... they're both terrible.

@NeoBaggins

Was you a youngin' in the 90's?

Coming home from school to see dudes get punched into a mountain or get a arm chopped off was the best thing ever.

DBZ was the leading show for anime at the height of the medium.

@MarkJulian

Unfortunately, this picture in NOT concept art for Dragon Ball Super. A quick Google Image Search confirms that this photo, along with the one of Goku, Vegeta and Frieza that @CaptainAmerica posted in the comments, have been floating around since December of 2014, on sites like Dragon Blog Z.

It's wicked art, but it's not from DBS.

Looks awesome. I'm digging the new art style. It's slightly altered enough to be new and awesome while being not at all different enough from what we know and love, perfect.

That being said, he does kind of look like a teenager
