A Gallery That Proves Dragonball Z Cosplay Should Never Be Attempted

The problem with Dragonball Z cosplay, is that as seen above, even when it’s good,  it’s bad. I feel like if someone saw this gallery before sinking millions of dollars into a live action DBZ movie, they’d be a lot happier today.

It’s just one of those cartoons that can almost never translate into a cool costume, no matter how well made it may be. Still need more proof? Well, follow me on this epic journey of dress-up badness…

    I love how you guys always save the best for last in your galleries. And in this one, the truth is told.

    The reason why none of these work? No, instantly out-of-place, super hot chick. If she put on pretty much any of these costumes it would be an instant success. I mean when did we ever think we could associate sexy with pikachu?

    @comfortablemadness

    I have to agree. Never thought I’d think of Pikachu as “sexy.” I’m kind of surprised there’s no scantily clad female DBZ cosplayers in here.

    Besides that last one, you’re right. That little kid Gohan is adorable.

  5. Robon 06 Jan 2010 at 6:30 pm

    that first piccolo and the android 17 weren’t so bad. it’s just hard to get the hair for saiyans and not look too fake or wrong

  6. zeroon 06 Jan 2010 at 7:15 pm

    it’s the hair man. for that matter. that’s the number one reason for cosplay fail. if you got the hair right, that’s pretty much the character. just fyi, all anime character looks the same except their hair. and this is coming from a guy who watches quite a bit of anime… yeah i know it’s sad…

    Thats the cutest Gohan cosplay ever.

    The one with the guy or girl near the stairs isn’t that bad, i would have wanted to see that on a poster.

  10. BrockSamsonon 07 Jan 2010 at 4:02 am

    Rob, you are right. That Android 17 is actually pretty decent.

  11. Xinon 07 Jan 2010 at 4:56 am

    This is why I stick with nameless Umbrella Corp. cosplay…. heheh

    The 1st one and the 3rd one is ok for me. also adroid 17 is not pretty bad

  15. dbon 14 Jun 2010 at 4:38 pm

    I didn’t see anything wrong with a handful of those. Especially not the teen gohan one with the contacts. Those people spend a lot of time on their cosplays and I think they look good.

  16. miccostumeson 22 Jul 2010 at 7:21 am

    actually i think they are really cool :)

  17. PiccoloInThisListon 19 Sep 2010 at 5:00 pm

    wow all the pics from the photoshoot and u just post the one of me walking on the bridge….and yea I know its still incomplete but damn do u know theres actaually a guy out there that did it even better than mines..and compared to most Piccolos cosplays I’d say mine & his came out the best. And u say that first Gohan with the contacts is bad??? ARE U SERIOUS!?!?! U dont even show the rest of her DB cos cuz she has the best among most even the wig best over most….and everyone needs the site for MY proof cosplay.com and just look up the members Glay & QuantumDestiny

  18. Loooool.on 21 Nov 2010 at 2:32 am

    Some of the cosplays were really good such as the first Goku one, and the Gohan ones after the weird Trunks cosplays.

    But still even though they were good they just look weird. XD

    The last Gohan one was SPOT ON! Tooo cute. Reminds me of the article of cute cosplayers, all of them were teenage girls except the cutest one: A toddler Chun-Li cosplay. xD I guess toddlers make the best cosplayers???

  19. >.on 27 Dec 2010 at 8:15 am

    It would help if some of these guys had more muscle, as everyone in DB is built it makes it harder to pull off the look

  20. IZZYcrazy13on 30 Dec 2010 at 4:04 pm

    android 17 did ight, and Supreme Kai was pretty good to I must admit. But fellahs you gotta understand that cosplay isn’t about looking just like the characters it’s about having fun doing something you love… And I love me some DBZ… Keep in touch niggets!

  21. Buttzon 07 Jan 2011 at 12:36 am

    Dang! What’s up with you guys? I thought 90% of these guys pulled it off pretty well. And that group shot, holy crap!

  22. Dianaon 05 Mar 2011 at 4:14 pm

    Eh? The first guy has an awesome costume. He’s even attractive and has arm muscles!

  23. dasndangeron 10 Mar 2011 at 2:40 am

    The best cosplay in there is the one on the top. The Asian Son Goku is the best cosplayer among the rest.

  24. trollyomamaon 24 Oct 2011 at 4:09 pm

    Actually,most of these were pretty good. I mean you also have to consider the fact that dbz cosplay is UBER hard. Only a handful of people can truly pull it off and even those have to find which character they need.
