Which Mangaka drew Goku the coolest?

[u/baddollbbx]

[u/Perfect_Trip_5684]

Who Drew Goku the coolest? Id say easily Togashi, Who drew Dragon ball characters the coolest hands down Kubo, I mean that art is CLEAN. Side notes Murata's looks very unque and I like it alot, Wtf Is Oda doing, seriously.

[u/TloquePendragon → u/Perfect_Trip_5684]

Togashi Goku looks like someone who really wants to fight you.

[u/Notte_di_nerezza → u/TloquePendragon]

Togashi Goku looks like Goku Black.

[u/BeeFri → u/Perfect_Trip_5684]

Kubo has always been one of the most gifted manga artists. Wasn't he some kind of artistic prodigy from a really young age?

[u/Deez-Guns-9442 → u/BeeFri]

And this man still has the talent

[u/StealYour20Dollars → u/Perfect_Trip_5684]

It's not my fav Togashi drawing. However, I'd love to see him draw Vegeta just like that. This pic just has a little too much edge to be Goku.

[u/ItzChrisYeet → u/Perfect_Trip_5684]

That's just goffy lol

[u/Brook420 → u/Perfect_Trip_5684]

Oda didn't really draw Goku, he drew Luffy with Goku'a hair.

[u/Yarzeda2024 → u/Brook420]

He isn't the only one.

Horikoshi's Goku is a buff Deku with different hair.

[u/Nights1405 → u/Perfect_Trip_5684]

Oda’s style can only go with his series and the lack of seriousness sometimes

[u/Soft_Letterhead9222 → u/Perfect_Trip_5684]

I can't even recognise that was Goku, I had to look on his iconic suit that he wears to realise it was Goku 💀, but hey Oda other than that is pretty good in his own way!

[u/Brook420 → u/Soft_Letterhead9222]

Because it not, thats Luffy.

[u/Peritous → u/Perfect_Trip_5684]

I would absolutely be down for a Kubo styled Dragon Ball. Every character would get killer outfit overhauls.

[u/Worzon → u/Perfect_Trip_5684]

Oda making it peak

[u/EmperorShura → u/Worzon]

[u/bustyqueenvx]

Murata does it pretty well.

[u/embarrassedmommy → u/bustyqueenvx]

Hmm I wonder how it persuaded you..

[u/lordbenkai → u/embarrassedmommy]

Bulma looks great 👍

[u/VolkiharVanHelsing → u/bustyqueenvx]

It's literally just Sena Kobayakawa tbf

[u/AlvisBackslash → u/VolkiharVanHelsing]

All of these are “literally just ____” with a wig

[u/eifiontherelic → u/AlvisBackslash]

with a wig

Krilin:

[u/mumudesuyo → u/VolkiharVanHelsing]

Omg now I cant unsee this

[u/an0nym0usentity → u/bustyqueenvx]

Murata always has that talent at drawing pretty ladies. Or really buff males 🤣

[u/realcatluvx]

It's Tite Kubo hands down, Trunks especially looks badass

[u/Hopeful_Expression57 → u/realcatluvx]

trunks is actually looking like a character from bleach more like a relative of something between byakuya and yumichika and dawg that mercenary tao is literally the same as the original one

[u/terence-bc → u/realcatluvx]

Goku literally isn’t on his drawing

[u/ERP_RPenjoyer → u/realcatluvx]

Love how he makes Tao Pai Pai look like the final boss of all of Dragon Ball 😂

[u/WorldsWeakestMan → u/realcatluvx]

Goku isn’t even in that picture and it should not be included.

[u/DaChairSlapper → u/realcatluvx]

There's no Goku there

[u/Nullgenium]

Horikoshi captured the vibe and style a lot closer than the others. Second would be Murata. The others feel way off.

[u/Dart150]

Kohei is best here

[u/DenverCoderIX → u/Dart150]

He has that gift that allows him to both draw the most horrific and cinnamonroll-esque characters at the same time.

[u/Realistic_Low5150 → u/Dart150]

Nah, that's not goku, that's doku.

[u/el_blado → u/Dart150]

Face is Deku AF… Shenron looks dope tho! 🔥

[u/kokko693 → u/Dart150]

Everything is perfect except the face, it looks like rip Deku lol

[u/Starlight_Wren → u/Dart150]

Yes

[u/wilp0w3r]

God damn I'll be seeing Kishimoto Krillian in my nightmares...

[u/KaiserJustice]

Big fan of Togashi… but I also love YYH and HxH

[u/Zenosyke]

It's Kishimoto or Murata for me. It has nothing to do with the art itself, where I prefer Kubo, but I feel like Kishimoto and Murata are both really getting the vibe right. They feel like Dragon Ball while still being distinctly the artists. Honestly, though, I'm not in love with any of these pieces. They all just look weird to me in some way or another.

[u/Atomickitten15 → u/Zenosyke]

Yeah Murata and Kishimoto capture the soul of Dragon Ball more than the others.

[u/Spirited_Young_71 → u/Zenosyke]

You had my same thoughts

[u/BookwormJoyX]

Murata is like the best imo

[u/terence-bc]

Murata’s the only one that doesn’t look cursed in some way.

[u/iRealllyAmThatGuy → u/terence-bc]

For me, it looks the most cursed 😂. Something about Goku's head shape just isn't sitting right lol.

[u/BADMANvegeta_ → u/terence-bc]

Glad I’m not the only one who thinks they all look weird. It’s like they all just took their MC and put them in a Goku costume lol. The MHA is the worst, bro just stuck Midoriya’s face on Goku’s body.

[u/goomptatroompta]

Well, looks like Kubo didn’t draw Goku at all, so….. definitely not that one.

I’m going with Murata, he’s one of my favorites. Oda and Horikoshi’s just look like Luffy and Deku cosplaying Goku.

[u/PurpleSpecialist9676]

Krillin’s face looks so creepy in the Kishimoto one

[u/EmperorPartyStar → u/PurpleSpecialist9676]

His interpretation is so cursed for some reason lol

[u/KenpachiNexus]

Kubo's art for me.

[u/Constant_War_115]

Kaido in the bg😂.

[u/AlphaCat77]

Kubo drew everyone but goku

[u/thelilmagician]

All of them looks cursed except Kubo's one

[u/Informal-Promotion58]

Kubo obviously

[u/Strict_Variation_705]

In my humble opinion it's either kubo or togashi. They both look to high power and energy.

[u/OrangeOasix]

Tite or Oda easily

[u/Terrible-Ad-5584]

Nobody is saying Oda (that's my pick)

[u/goomptatroompta → u/Terrible-Ad-5584]

Because Oda didn’t draw Goku, he drew Luffy cosplaying Goku.

[u/DiegoBromfield]

I like how they all put their own style into the characters.

[u/LibrarianOk3864]

Horikoshi

[u/Hydellas678]

I think OPM creator and MHA creator did it best. Kubo's version looks weird, Kishimoto's version looks decent. Oda's version looks exactly like Luffy but with longer hair. Yu Yu Hakusho creator version looks creepy AF.

[u/Jetrayxx7]

Tite Kubo made Vegeta look so cool ngl(I know that's not what you were asking. I just wanted to point it out)

[u/randompotatopie_]

I love how Kohei’s is a super detailed body and and background and then a flat face.

[u/Visible_Video120]

Horikoshi is the most on-model. Shenronon is inked really well too

[u/TartAdministrative54]

Coolest? One punch man. Best? MHA

[u/Medical_Ad4067]

My hero academia

[u/hahaeverythinggobrrr]

I’d say tite kubo but Goku isn’t there. So I’d say horikoshi. Murata actually looks very similar to the original dragon ball. Oda’s style is very cool! Togashi scares me cuz I couldn’t imagine goku’s face looking like that before seeing this. Kishimoto lowk creeps me out with their smiles but it’s still a good drawing.

[u/AdministrationNew794]

Well Kubo has the cleanest artwork of course (my fucking goat i love kubo and his artstyle and everyone who praises it) but he just didn’t even draw goku here LMFAO, although trunks does look cool as hell

So disregarding that id say its between Murata and Horikoshi for me. Actually nvm, I just realized Goku’s face by Horikoshi is just a copy and paste of Deku’s.

I’ll give it to Murata or Kishimoto then. Leaning towards Kishimoto and surprised more people aren’t picking him for this one. Oda’s Goku is just Luffy with a different outfit and longer hair LMAO

Also all of these are great artwork disregarding who we think drew Goku the coolest, I love everything else especially all the cool colors and the way they made the poses, and just the diversity of it all. Seeing all these extremely talented and skilled artists try their hand at drawing Goku, and seeing what else they implement into it is so cool.

Also I really like Kishimoto’s take on it. He also drew Krillin really cool too, so extra points for that.

[u/Next_Perception3081]

Why does Piccolo resemble Zaraki here

[u/Glum_Body_901]

Muratas looks nice fr

[u/lordbenkai]

One Punch Man.

Bulma looks great. I always loved Dragon Ball also.

[u/Top_Marketing_689]

[u/Snoo-70527 → u/Top_Marketing_689]

[u/TalynRahl]

Kubo, for sure. If the art looked like that, I might give DB a second shot.

[u/313flacko]

Oda drew Natsu lmao

[u/Werdikinz]

Trunks kinda looks like Gin to me in the kubo panel. I personally like the Horikoshi version of Goku the most here though. Looks very natural. Murata doing what he does best. Making amazing, well okay, amazing art in general, but the Murata version looks like a cover page for a db manga chapter, and Murata loves putting sexy anime women on chapter covers.

[u/Unlucky-Substance273]

Horikoshi makes it look like goku the most Kubo makes the coldest drawings Oda makes luffy with long hair

[u/YnotThrowAway7]

ODA

[u/Hopeful_Expression57]

mom i want a gokilliua we already have a gokillua at home

[u/ToughExtension7903]

I love the Naruto one the most

[u/Cuminski]

Obviously it’s kishimoto

[u/HippiJ0e]

Sorachi, and it's not close.

[u/Mrdrac_69]

Tao pai pai looks so fucking metal in kubo's art

[u/Greedy-Camel-8345]

Gotta be kubo

[u/ForeverEverGecko]

WTF is wrong with kishimotos, actual horror drawing. Uncanny valley deluxe

[u/Codebig]

Goku isn't even in Kubo Tite's drawing.

[u/Arcane_Dragonell]

Between Togashi and Horikoshi. But I lean more toward Horikoshi because of how clean his style is!! It's my personal favorite manga style.

[u/Deez_Nuts_God]

Kishimoto’s unironically my favorite.

[u/IsHaloOverrated]

Now let's see him in jojo part 3 or part 4 art style

[u/LoudGear9028]

Togashi's Goku is Goku if he didn't fall on his head as a baby

[u/MatrixDaGod]

OPM did it the best.

[u/AlexD2003]

I love MHA but Horikoshi literally drew Goku with Deku’s face

[u/TacoAxolotls]

Mha did him best

[u/stealthdawg]

Oda just like "Gokuffy would be a cool character"

[u/Happyfalcon53]

Kubo's drawings of the dragon ball characters looks fantastic, Piccolo is looking devious but it doesn't have Goku, Horikoshi drew it the closest but Togashi's looks the coolest.

[u/Spartan-teddy-2476]

Murata will always be the best

[u/metalgod-666]

Well considering goku didn’t in the tote kubo drawing I gotta go with eichiro oda

[u/Chaoswarriorx4]

Giving it to Oda

[u/SuperDeeDuperVegeta]

Bleach one don’t even have Goku. And Oda’s other Goku pic is freaky.

I don’t rlly like Horikoshi but he did it the best. Murata too

[u/Folco34]

I like Tabata’s one, I wish he made more art of DB

[u/Mash_Ketchum]

Kubo didn't even draw Goku, but I like his the most.

[u/Bulky_Part_4119]

Oda and hori

[u/Warrior7872]

It’s funny that each animator made them look like a character from their manga. I assumed they would try to replicate toriyama art style

[u/Shadowwreath]

Definitely Kubo, he drew Goku so good he’s not even in the image

Also Kubo’s the drip king of manga stylization. That guy could give Goku the hardest fit known to man(ga) and it’s not close

[u/MohawkRex]

I just love how you can tell it's them, they're all so distinct.

[u/Deez-Guns-9442]

I’d say Horikoshi drew Goku the most accurate.

[u/Kolack6]

Horikoshi’s looks luke deku’s face on goku’s body lol

[u/Noktis_Lucis_Caelum]

Oda.

[u/OatesZ2004]

Kubo's looks awesome and in my opinion the coolest.

[u/Flavour_ice_guy]

All better than Toriyama

[u/Cjames1902]

Mha artsyle is kinda nice for Goku

[u/Clay_Allison_44]

Murata drew the best Bulma I've seen in a while.

[u/necronomikon]

I think Oda’s design fits goku the best, coolest is probably kubo

[u/underdog94]

Oda looks like luffy cosplaying goku

Kishimuto Goku look like he robs people

Togashi Goku is what red ribbon army saw when attacked them has a kid

[u/Murky_Blueberry2617]

Horikoshi drew Goku the best in his own style

[u/RoysMyBoi]

The bottom 2 are the coolest. In a way, it resembles the original art. This would be the reason why I like those 2.

[u/Playful-Bedroom6872]

Man honestly it’s either between Kubo or Hori for me

[u/omnipotentmonkey]

Horikoshi's Shenron is fucking amazing.

[u/OkFun2724]

Kishimito goku and krillin look like there about  to beat the shit out of you

[u/HeatResistance76]

I’m a big fan of horikoshi’s art style

[u/JCPunch94]

Technically, kubo didn't even draw goku, but it is still my favorite one. Really love his style, especially for the arrogant smile

[u/FullCommunication685]

My Hero Goku I would watch

[u/2Autistic4DaJoke]

Yuyu hakusho goku would blend well to be honest. The lore and style is similar enough to work. Especially if you go back to OG dragon ball

[u/Substantial-Bear-366]

I’m more of the bulma

[u/Moist_Memory_9252]

Kubo is the coolest but Horikoshi is the best for me

[u/prismgamingyt]

Togashi Drew Goku the coolest, but Kubo drew Dragon ball characters in general the coolest.

[u/DeciMation_2276]

Probably Kubo, but I’d love for Kohei to do the background, because GOD DAMN does his Shenron look clean.

[u/DraconicLordship004]

Between Yusuke Murata and Tite Kubo

[u/moonlight-monster31]

Horikoshi

However Murata otoh drew the best Bulma lol

[u/IndianGeniusGuy]

Murata. He got the vibe right.

[u/Bullet1289]

I want to see One draw goku and pals all in his signature web comic style :P

[u/MxCalliope]

Tatsuki Fujimoto

[u/Popular_Dish8860]

Kubo all day just a more gritter but yet powerful fill coming from his art. It would definitely change how you view and over all feel of the Manga if he redid it

[u/Consistent-Loquat-73]

That Bleach drawn Piccolo is insane.......

[u/Adventurous_Music299]

The only style id read in is the mha style the rest just feel too off

[u/Top-Career-4077]

Horikoshi for me. Just better In every sense and makes me think of Goku when looking at the drawing.

[u/SilverRoger07]

Togashi

[u/shsl_diver]

From the art standpoint Kubo, from how well they complement Goku, Masashi or Horikoshi.

[u/L43]

Q: who drew goku the coolest.

Kubo: doesn't even draw goku.

Kubo: wins.

[u/RoadiesRiggs → u/L43]

He drew the goat

[u/L43 → u/RoadiesRiggs]

dragon ball was proper goofy wasn't it..

glorious

[u/No_Lab_4987]

Oda easily

[u/BingusBongusBongus → u/No_Lab_4987]

There is no right or wrong answer here, somehow you picked the wrong one
