Zeno and his appearance

[RWBYfan88]

Does anyone think that Zeno should look far more realistic and intimidating than he is? I mean, if you are going to have a 2C character with the possibility of greater power, shouldn't they be granted an appearance and personality that is far more intimidating?

 

[Celestial_Pegasus]

That he doesn't look intimidating is the point, zeno is childish and doesn't fully understand the consequences of his actions, which is why he is dangerous.

Funny thing is, not the first time DB did that. (Heck, even final form Frieza played on that subversion on his initial debut)

It's how dragon ball does its thing, powerful characters don't look that intimidating.

I mean, look at the second big arc for DB. 19 and 20 was a doll and an old man. 17 and 18 are teens. Even Cell wound up being hot. (Completely ignoring the massive editor hassles that happened behind the scenes)

Heck, Vegeta is pint sized, and is well...VEGETA!!!

How Rude ovo

Vegeta and the androids are intimidating. The androids aren't at first glance, but if my character was to attack them and nothing happen, well, atleast for 17 and 18, my character would be in disbelief or scared. Vegeta is a powerhouse. Even if My character waited until her training was over and she was 21, Vegeta would still speed blitz her. And Broly, well....my character even as an adult, wouldn't stand a chance. Ten minutes at most.

I'm pretty sure that's the entire point of his character, he looks weak but he can kick your ass.

 

[Warren_Valion]

That's Toriyama thing.

Strong characters are given weak visual appearances to divert your expectations of their power (barring Jiren of course).

 

[Azathoth_the_Abyssal_Idiot]

There's a reason Frieza was so much smaller in stature than most of his soldiers yet was on an entirely different level.

Sometimes, a wolf with an appearance of a sheep is far more dangerous than ordinary wolf since the sheep will see the wolf as their own, not realizing the dangerous that lurks behind it appearance. And as the proverb said "Don't judge book by It's cover".

 

[Blanked]

@Dot that's nice, but the most powerful creature of all that can erase anything and anyone should at least have a bit of intimidating look.

@William Hmm, perhaps.. However, I do think dragon ball try to tell us a moral of the story : Don't underestimated someone by just their appearance and their personality, and of course it depends on people opinion on how the appropriate appearance and behavior for a strong character/powerful creature should be.
