>most likely the last protagonist character ever designed by Akira Toriyama>unanimously hatedHow did this happen?
>>288455821It's the hair, fix that fuck ass cut and it's pretty good
>>288455821>Toriyama making Weabos and Otascum seethe one last timeBased he be. I miss him so much.
>>288455821Why does he looks like lack sleep
>>288456011He's just like me frfr
>>288455821I don't believe Toriyama design that.
>>288456126you're Indian huh?
>>288455821>a kaoishin but if brownreally, toriyama?
>>288455821So say he is a night sky price but I think he's a king
>>288455821I like tired kun but I also don't believe he was designed by Toriyama, just like I don't believe the final super chapter was written by him
>>288456011The plot of the game involves him being plagued by some sort of dreams, speculation is there's gonna be 2 worlds he switches between when he sleeps
>>288455918It's definitely not just the hair. The character is bad, but the outfit is much worse.
>>288456856Skinny arms + spike hair = Toriyama
>>288458032cope
>>288455821I'm tired of western influence, bros.
>>288455821Akira toriyama is such a fucking dogshit artist
>>288455821Gamers have shitty taste, look at the most popular 2026 games.
>>288458073The outfit is fine though it's the colors that are the issue mainly the teal flap belt. Make it the same color as the rest of the leather armor and he looks decent if a bit boring. Hell get rid of the black shirt too and make him full barbarian
>>288458138Looks like standard anime character.
>>288458287The dude has locks, the other anon meant to say "ethnic" IE: vaguely "black" but was too chickenshit to actually type it
>>288458138Slap this dudes hair and hair color on >>288455821this dude's and you have a decent protag look
>>288458308There's a japanese subculture who are into dreadlocks.
thats just oob, they just took that design, so i guess "technically" it is made by toriyama
>>288458073>>288458283Worst part for me is the yellow piss pants
>>288455821>Retarded Kai cutI hate that Toriyama had so many characters with this dumb shaved mohawk look. It didn't look good on the first character, and it NEVER looked good on subsequent characters. It doesn't look good on real people either. Shit's as dumb has that half-shaved woman look where only half of the head has hair. Some were good characters, like Android 16, but the hairstyle is fucking unforgivable. Prime "please fuck my asshole" hairstyle.
>>288455821He looks like a fag.
>>288455821He looks like Uub if he grew up to be a meth addict.
>>288458342wow dbz was hella woke
>>288458342Uub was always a shitty design and a shitty decision in general, he just shouldn't exist. Toriyama was already really phoning it in by the time Z ended.
>>288455821>>288456011>>288458055I'm betting he's sleep deprived due to whatever the dream issue is and once that gets resolved, he gets normal looking eyes.
>>288455821
The protagonist of the mobile game looks so much more like a DBZ era Toriyama design.Some anons argued that he was the protagonist of the now scraped Dragon Quest 12 Flames of Fate (unofficial title, I know).
>>288458712He looks feminine. Gross.
>>288458702
>>288458366It's the same color as the DQ 8 Hero's jacket though
>>288458842Who would piss on a jacket? What a weird thing to say, anon.
>>288458702The design is fine but lacks "main character" energy. He looks like the first party member you get not the MC. Hope he gets a new fit, get rid of the teal belt and give him a nice coat to go under the armor
>>288458874My boy 8
>>288458748Sex?
>>288458884>>288458702Main problem is that he's zoomer coded with the zoomer stare and about to call anyone an "unc" and go "frfr no cap". It's off-putting energy for a main character but it's DQ so the MC won't really do anything other than stand around.
>>288455821Fix his scoliosis and use Transform tool to stretch his face down
>>288455821Literally me.
>>288455821i dont get whats wrong hes dark and mysterious just like me
>>288459436The problem is not the mohawk, is the zoomer fade
>>288458964Only if you're her dad
It hurts because the mobile game protagonist looks a lot better
>>288455918>>288455821>>288455984>>288458055DQ12 is another DQ about Dreams and the MC looks like he has insomnia. I think the design makes sense. At least in Japan the DQ11 was hated at first two because he looked like an NPC and now everyone is okay with him. It will be the same with him.
>>288459800It feels less Toriyama. Not even his peak 90s version.
>>288459800All the designs shown for it are good, but it's a gacha so fuck Square.
>>288458712>Wavy hairMore like they put Toriyama and generix gacha designs into a genAI and this is what came out.
>>288459800Damn, it really does look better
>>288459436Not the same thing at all
>>288458983>Main problem is that he's zoomer coded with the zoomer stare and about to call anyoneAnon you sound like an old man whining that things aren't for him anymore
>>288458138
>>288455821Stealth nigger
>>288455821>negro fadeI want video proof Toriyama drew this.
>>288455821its still better than whatever he designed for daima
>>288458055so uh ... chrono cross?
>>288458138All the best parts about Japan are western influenced. they didnt even have white rice before western grain processing
>>288455918The "just fuck my shit up" face is also a problem.
>>288455821what's the problem?
>>288463566wasn't it long a thing for the obscenely wealthy and then just became more common with tech for it?also brown rice has more nutrients
>>288458342>design an Indian kid that nobody likes to replace Goku at the end of the series>nobody except Toei gives it a shot to move past End of ZIt was perfect for Toriyama since he just wanted to be done with Dragon Ball.
>>288455821I think he looks fine other than the piss pants. Certainly more personality than the generic pretty boy self-insert here >>288459800>>288458138This on the other hand is utter trash, but that's to be expected of fire emblem and the artists they been using since awakening, hidari being the exception.
>>288455821Toriyama has gone nearly 3 decades without being a good artist
>>288466015He's dead, bro
>>288459579I need a source
>>288459800I want to have sex with the female protagonist
>>288458135>>288458342The reason these work is that these are basically stylized mohawks, and there's no fuzz on the head, it's a clean shave.>>288458702Damn zoomies can't even keep their heads shaved for their look. If it was grown out even a little it would look much better.
>>288455821Toriyama wanted to dab on Japs one more time before he left.
>>288455821People keep focusing on the hair but I see a lot of other problems too.>those "I've been working overtime for the past 25 years at a retail store" eyes>that tired beta virgin posture>that overall sickly color palletHe looks like someone dragged a drug addict bum out of some slum and told him to be the next hero.
>>288458138Hate this lil nigga.
>>288455821>How did this happen?Typically, his designs went through a process of refinement, with him providing sketches and the people on the development side providing corrections or asking for changes depending on multiple factors, from story to gameplay reasons. It is likely that this is just an unfinished design and that if Toriyama had not died, it would be different.
>>288455821Default character ahh design
>>288455821He most definitely did not design this. They are lying
artists are rarely at their best near the end of their lifeapart from my nigga bowie blackstar is great
>>288463566>are*were
better than the dumpy shit style he used for DQ7. shitty bobblehead proportions wasted on otherwise good designs in that game
you guys really hate Indians for no reason. what we ever done to you?
>>288455821Uub looking ass
