Through the Toriyama Archives, fans get a glimpse into the initial sketches of Goten, as he was originally portrayed in Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods.
Fans now have another opportunity to view early character design sketches of Goten from the 2013 film “Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods” in the Toriyama Archives section. The blue suit and red bowtie are instantly recognizable, although this particular appearance is only seen during a part of the movie. As the art’s caption notes, “This concept art of Goten was especially created for the film ‘Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods’. Normally he’s in his school uniform, but here he’s all dressed up for Bulma’s birthday party in a suit! The red bowtie adds an adorable finishing touch!
Goten Is All Dressed up for Bulma’s Birthday in Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods
First appeared in chapter 424 of the Dragon Ball manga, way back in 1993. As a young character, Goten bore a striking resemblance to his father, leading Goku to call him “a mini me” upon their initial encounter. Since then, Goten has evolved from a timid boy into one of the franchise’s main characters, known for his depth and complexity. This is due to his significant roles in various storylines, including the legendary Fusion Saga.
The Toriyama Archives frequently shares with fans rare, sometimes unseen masterpieces from the famous Akira Toriyama. Even though the most recent release in the Toriyama Archives initially came out in 2013, the continuous rotation of images makes its release an exciting event, particularly for those who missed it initially. More recently, the Toriyama Archives has been focusing on less common and harder-to-find artworks, such as a battle-prepared piece.
2013 saw the launch of Battle of the Gods, the eighteenth animated movie in the series and the fourteenth within the Dragon Ball Z film collection. This groundbreaking production was a significant milestone for several reasons: it was the first Dragon Ball film to hit theaters in nearly two decades, and also marked the debut of digital ink and painting techniques. Critics and audiences both responded favorably upon its release, with the movie grossing over $50 million during its initial run at the box office.
