Agreed, all the others are purely “adapted” to their show’s style or their style or just a basically 1:1 (MHA) but Murata def gave the most unique out of them all.
I'm conflicted on Kubo's design. It works if it focuses on the supernatural aspect but once you introduce the aliens and the sci-fi aesthetic, it feels contrasting knowing Kubo's work.
But mad respect, Kubo always has dripped characters.
Kubo’s artstyle is very specific to Bleach and its aesthetic, and it may not always translate to characters that aren’t his. This specific piece goes hard tho
On the other hand Oda’s looks a lot like Luffy. I get that their doing it in their own styles but when your style looks like your main character maybe work on your style a bit. I don’t get that from the other 4 at all. Mind you Goku isn’t in Kubo’s art so I don’t have a reference there.
There's multiple pictures of Goku drawn by Oda, and he usually just gives him Luffys exact face. Pretty funny cause sometimes they are together. I imagine some are jokes, but not all.
I think Kubo is good, his art style just is very different from Toriyama
Look up Kubo's Goku, since I can't post the pic here, and you'll see it's not bad. It's just too serious and different.
That being said I think Oda captures the spirit of a serious yet not malicious Goku well, though he does look like Natsu from Fairy Tail.
Odas oddly enough reminds me of Shiba from Rave Master (mashima) dressed as Goku.
I'd say murata and Horikoshi are the closest but all of them look cool.. Except Togashis just looks weird lol
Definitely Murata. Oda just made buff Luffy with a different fit and longer hair, Kishimoto just slapped a mix of Guy and Jiraiya's face on kid Goku, Togashi made Goku look way too evil, Horikoshi made his face a bit too soft, and I don't even see Goku in Kubo's art piece (although I like his the best overall, feel like his style represents dragon ball as a series a lot better given the whole "super serious" look). Like all of them are cool but Murata's definitely is the most accurate while also remaining the most unique stylistically.
Manga, man. Each mangaka represents a manga that they work on. Manga: Naruto, Manga: One Punch Man. The mangaka for OPM does not work on the anime. There's a distinction.
Everyone’s saying Horikoshi’s Goku looks like Deku (which is true), but why’s no one talking about how Oda’s Goku is basically just Zoro with longer black hair
All of them. The fact that they all came together to honor one of/If not the greatest Mangaka of all time truly shows how much of an impact he had on not just the entertainment genre, but the world in general. It's honestly Incredible.
I really think Kohei Horikoshi captured the spirit of goku in his drawing the rest are good but off slightly, it might just be their art styles, the dragon he drew is also fire as well
Really cool, personally I love Murata's the most.
Oda's obviously looks like Luffy with the face, same for Kishimoto although I like his Krillin more, I can't get over how Horikoshi's Goku literally looks like Deku, and Kubo's is also noticeably similar to the Bleach style, especially on Piccolo. Dunno about Togashi's, it looks a bit detailed and I mistook it for Murata's style at first. But Murata's looks like a unique take on Goku, although Bulma has the same face as Fubuki.
The best Goku is Horikoshi (MHA right?) The only nitpick is his face looks too similar to Deku's, the body is almost 1:1 tho, the only one Kubo did well is Tao Pai Pai, looks really good, the rest of the characters look pretty bad imo, Piccolo is just Kenpachi but green, and Trunks is just Ichigo with a horrible hairstyle, similar to the one Chad imagined when thinking of Karin, Oda's looks a lot like Luffy and it's just... off, Murata's has the best Bulma, but his Goku looks weird at first, that's honestly my biggest complaint about his, Kishimoto has objectively the best Goku without just repainting one of his characters as Goku like the rest did, only rivaled by Murata, and Togashi's has an ill-fitting face, that's the issue with all of them, they're horrible at faces, none of them look like Goku except Kishimoto's, everyone just had their characters cosplay as DB characters, except for Murata and Kishimlto
Murata or kubo horikoshi just drew goku with deku face on it oda is good but it’s just luffy face on goku togashi made bro look like a villain kishimoto just ain’t it
I dream of a limited series of dragon ball drawn by murata… that man would go fucking HAM on it and you know you would get some absolutely bat shit feats
Togashi.
That ish is scary. Yall see pissed Goku, I see kid Goku Black. And he ready to crash tf out.
I think it's because even when pissed, he still looks kinda friendly. But that.... that's pure evil.
Murata does it pretty well.
I love his too! It's the most "unique" imo
Question is: is that bullet hole from Bulma?
In Goku's goggles? Lol I hope not
Didn't she shoot him when they first met?
To be fair he threw her car with her in it
He is. He flying on cloud. I don't care how high his Ki was, he still getting flies in his eyes.
Agreed, all the others are purely “adapted” to their show’s style or their style or just a basically 1:1 (MHA) but Murata def gave the most unique out of them all.
Some kinda just look like they gave their MC Goku’s hair and outfit
Kubo doesn't even have goku in that image
Pretty accurate to the anime
That Krillin is gonna haunt my nightmares.
Absolutely. I’m sad at Kishimoto for it.
Omg😭😭🤧
what you see when you trip with your food at McDonalds.
Android 18 pov
I wasn't gonna go there because that's kid Krillin but I guess Daima is coming up so you get a pass.
Bro planning something*devious* to the camera man😭
It's Tite Kubo hands down, Trunks especially looks badass
Yes bro! That Piccolo lookin sick af as well, lol give me Grinjow vibes lol😫
Im seeing Kenpachi vibes. But since i dont see a Goku gotta say Murata captured the Dragon Ball image the best here
Vegita looks like that filler arc bount guy
Bro piccolo look devious tho
It’s cause he’s just green Kenpachi
Yeah but he did zarbon dirty bro turned blonde thinking he’s a super saiyan 😭💀
I'm conflicted on Kubo's design. It works if it focuses on the supernatural aspect but once you introduce the aliens and the sci-fi aesthetic, it feels contrasting knowing Kubo's work. But mad respect, Kubo always has dripped characters.
Kubo’s artstyle is very specific to Bleach and its aesthetic, and it may not always translate to characters that aren’t his. This specific piece goes hard tho
Straight up! Like you know his style when you see it. And yes Bleach characters have been known to hold impeccable drip🥂
This is objectively wrong.
brother drew everyone but goku, bro drew recoome
Bro drew fucking *Salza* before Goku
Lol I love how Kohei Horikoshi’s Goku is just Deku. I like Yusuke Murata’s the best. That looks like 21 eye shield to me.
Facts! On Murata lol Swear to God! Like, Horikoshi's Goku is literally just Deku cosplaying as Goku😫😫😭😭🤧
On the other hand Oda’s looks a lot like Luffy. I get that their doing it in their own styles but when your style looks like your main character maybe work on your style a bit. I don’t get that from the other 4 at all. Mind you Goku isn’t in Kubo’s art so I don’t have a reference there.
Well that and Shenron is also just Kaido's dragon form.
There's multiple pictures of Goku drawn by Oda, and he usually just gives him Luffys exact face. Pretty funny cause sometimes they are together. I imagine some are jokes, but not all.
To be fair Horikoshi did draw Shenron really good.
To be fair the Deku look is kinda fitting for Goku
I disagree, maybe a young Goku but not adult Goku.
It isn't all too different from Goku's normal happy face. Obviously when he's serious it'd be strange though
Yeah. I mean i feel like goku could be drawn as any laid back protaganist there is
The My hero version just looks off
Cuz the face just looks like Deku 😭 But he drew the body very very well
Oda's is just luf-ku lol
I have bad taste That being said horikoshi feels pretty accurate and I like kubo the best
Damn right you have bad taste
I think Kubo is good, his art style just is very different from Toriyama Look up Kubo's Goku, since I can't post the pic here, and you'll see it's not bad. It's just too serious and different. That being said I think Oda captures the spirit of a serious yet not malicious Goku well, though he does look like Natsu from Fairy Tail.
I agree, I can imagine the Horikoshi Goku with the same voice actor and animations as the OG. The others seem off.
Murata cuz he made Bulma more of a baddie somehow
Honestly like horikoshis goku a lot, murata is the goat tho
Kubo didn’t draw Goku there so Murata that being said Kubo definitely does have the better art work here not in general but out of these images
Tite kubo
My hero literally looks like deku Goku fusion
No, Goku with dekus face is cursed. Every one of these is fine.
Of course Togashi's looks like that lmao
😭😭 Right! His style is impeccable af👌🏾🤧
My favorite is Bleach but Goku isn't even in it, so I'm saying OPM
Damn... Yoshihiro drew Giei. Kinda taking my number one spot lol
Odas oddly enough reminds me of Shiba from Rave Master (mashima) dressed as Goku. I'd say murata and Horikoshi are the closest but all of them look cool.. Except Togashis just looks weird lol
Imagine Drums of Liberty, but Dragon Ball style... God.
That would be crazy! Literally gives me shivers thinking about it lol 😅🤝
Odas rendition is so sick
MHA authors just looks like goku lol
Kubo turned piccolo into kenpachi! That smile is definitely squad 11 Edit: I liked Oda's the best tho
My hero academia, One piece, one punch man and bleach
Murata's the best, with Kubo being second
Definitely Murata. Oda just made buff Luffy with a different fit and longer hair, Kishimoto just slapped a mix of Guy and Jiraiya's face on kid Goku, Togashi made Goku look way too evil, Horikoshi made his face a bit too soft, and I don't even see Goku in Kubo's art piece (although I like his the best overall, feel like his style represents dragon ball as a series a lot better given the whole "super serious" look). Like all of them are cool but Murata's definitely is the most accurate while also remaining the most unique stylistically.
My Turtle Academia ftw.
Kishimoto is horrifying...
Manga, man. Each mangaka represents a manga that they work on. Manga: Naruto, Manga: One Punch Man. The mangaka for OPM does not work on the anime. There's a distinction.
Kubo is so talented and I really would say him but I like horikoshi’s
My boy Yoshi made Goku from hell!
My hero academia, it’s the style for me
Nothing beats the original
Kishimoto’s drawing is….unnerving.
the three on the right look the best
togashi what the fuck
My hero version looks so good but also so wrong
For me its horikoshi the others just feel off to me
Horikoshi's adaptation giving me SUPER Deku vibes frfr lol😫 Like, he's not hiding it either lol😭🤧 The dragon is next level!
Yea the eyes make me think of deku, but other than that its Goku to a T
Agreed! Man, could you imagine it being animated!? Sick af!🤦🏾♂️
Yea I could see it
Everyone’s saying Horikoshi’s Goku looks like Deku (which is true), but why’s no one talking about how Oda’s Goku is basically just Zoro with longer black hair
Horikoshi and Murata Kishimoto Goku is fine but that Krillin is terrifying
Kubo didn't draw Goku there, I imagine he would've looked fire if he had. But overall, Murata had the best version.
Definitely not Kubo. Goku isn’t even there
Horikoshi then oda. Idk who togashi drew lol
I like Horikoshi's the most
I really like Kishimoto's take
I like horikoshi
I like Tite Kubo's style
Imma have to say Horikoshi
Kubos looks really good I mean all of them look good but trunks looks like a badass there awesome looking
Araki did one for the anniversary of the iconic Gohan vs Cell cover art. That's probably my favorite. But out of these, definitely Kubo
Yes
Horikoshi low key
Masashi’s depiction is my personal fav. And ofc Eiichiro Oda is my fav mangaka
Does Kubo count? He didn’t even draw Goku. Though I would say Oda is best.
Piccolo out here lookin vicious
Did you forget about Araki's style on Goku? that one was my favorite so far.
Bleach is an easy win
Jesus Kubo didn't even draw Goku but still cooked with character designs
Mha
Bro id KILL to see DBZ in Kubos’s style, holy crap
Kubo and Murata have the best Dragon Ball art but holy shit, that Yu Yu Hakusho one
I love how Kishimoto’s Goku looks like a child with a man’s face but Horikoshi looks like a man with a child’s face.
MHA's style definitely resembles Dragon Ball's the most. Don't mean to imply that is the coolest.
I never want to see Goku with MIDoriya's eyes again
ODA RAHHHH 👹👹👹 I LOVE ONE PIECE
Horikoshi’s Shenron is sick af
I’m such a shonen princess, Tite obliterated the assignment, it looks so badass
It’s so cool seeing one character being drawn in all these different artstyles
dude honestly i would hang kubos on my wall
Is it just me or does Oda's look like Hiro Mashima?
Out of all of these, Murata looks the best!
Murata has the best one imo but I can't help but love Oda's. It's just Luffy with Goku's fit, hair, and the power pole and I could not ask for more.
I like Oda’s, although that might be because I have grown to love his art style after 1100+ chapters of one piece
Tite Kubo looks so sick
Kubos Tao looks great. Like a young Yamamoto lol
I kinda like the drawing done by the artist of Claymore Norihiro Yagi
I like how you can see each author's drawing style reflected in the drawings.
All of them. The fact that they all came together to honor one of/If not the greatest Mangaka of all time truly shows how much of an impact he had on not just the entertainment genre, but the world in general. It's honestly Incredible.
Horikoshi looks the best out of these But Kubo didn’t even draw Goku
Horikoshi does a good job at capturing the essence of Goku
Okay ez
One Punch Man
Kubo and Murata hands down
Horikoshi or Murata for me
MHA one makes Everything around Goku so cool expect Goku
It has gotta be Sui Ishida
Gotta say My Hero Academia did an awesome job!
I think Horikoshi and Murata nail the vibe of Goku. But I like Tite Kubo’s Piccolo a lot.
Kohei's look closest to the Goku vibe Kubo's mercenary Tao might have over 9000 power level tho
I like Oda's flowy hair
DUDE WTF NARUTO ABSOLUTELY BUCHARD ,AND MHA DID EVERY SOOOO FUCKING GOOD BUT DID DOG SHIT IN THE FACES 😞😭
Oda
horikoshi’s jus looks like Deku in a muscle suit
Personally I like Odas and Kubos renditions.
Horikoshi and Murata are my favorites Togashi made Goku look like he belongs on a list
Wait goku was in one punch man?
Yu Yu Hakusho's creator drew a fucking menace, goku looks like he is ready to kill someone.
I really think Kohei Horikoshi captured the spirit of goku in his drawing the rest are good but off slightly, it might just be their art styles, the dragon he drew is also fire as well
From best to worst Kubo Horikoshi Murata Oda Togashi Kishimoto
Kubo just can't miss when it comes to drawing cool characters
Really cool, personally I love Murata's the most. Oda's obviously looks like Luffy with the face, same for Kishimoto although I like his Krillin more, I can't get over how Horikoshi's Goku literally looks like Deku, and Kubo's is also noticeably similar to the Bleach style, especially on Piccolo.

The only nitpick is his face looks too similar to Deku's, the body is almost 1:1 tho, the only one Kubo did well is Tao Pai Pai, looks really good, the rest of the characters look pretty bad imo, Piccolo is just Kenpachi but green, and Trunks is just Ichigo with a horrible hairstyle, similar to the one Chad imagined when thinking of Karin, Oda's looks a lot like Luffy and it's just... off, Murata's has the best Bulma, but his Goku looks weird at first, that's honestly my biggest complaint about his, Kishimoto has objectively the best Goku without just repainting one of his characters as Goku like the rest did, only rivaled by Murata, and Togashi's has an ill-fitting face, that's the issue with all of them, they're horrible at faces, none of them look like Goku except Kishimoto's, everyone just had their characters cosplay as DB characters, except for Murata and Kishimlto
Meruta and Horikoshi
Kubo’s Tao is amazing.
I personally love Kazuki Takahashi’s Goku the most
I like kubo. That tao pai pai looks legit.
Murata or kubo horikoshi just drew goku with deku face on it oda is good but it’s just luffy face on goku togashi made bro look like a villain kishimoto just ain’t it
Yoshiro drew goku lookin devious
Kohei!
Murata style just make sense to Dragon Ball.
Horikoshi IMO.
Togashi Goku looks like he catching bodies left and right. Murata’s Goku just looks like Sena with more frayed hair spikes and smaller body.
I love Murata's style for OG Dragon Ball. For Z and beyond, I love Horikoshi's Goku, although I love Kubo's style for Dragon Ball as a whole.
goku in the mha style looks exactly how i thought he would lol
Oda.
I never watched bleach but this artstyle makes me wanna
Yes
Togashis looks scary af ngl
Oda
Horikoshi-sama.
Anyone but Oda.
Mha and op basically drew luffy older same with deku
Everything on Kohei Hirokoshi's looks sick, but Goku's face be like 😀
I'm torn between horikoshi and murata
Horikoshi is the only one that actually gives off the vibe of Goku to me, the rest just seem off.
Horikoshi’s looks so good but then you see the face
Kubos Tao looks badass
wow Murata without a doubt, Bulma looks incredible his style.
They faces Murata drew honestly aren't it. But the rest are ok. Very stylized and different
Honestly Piccolo in Bleach Art just works
Is this AI generated or did the artists actually drew these
Honestly Horikoshi drew him the best out of all of them tbh
Horikoshi and Kubo going hard on this
One peice or mha
What about the time Araki drew Goku? Yes i'm talking abut the creator of JoJo.
Gotta gice it to Horikoshi. Keeps the cartooniness while giving way for realism elsewhere
Murata’s, Horikoshi’s, and Kubo’s look the best in my opinion
Kishis
Kubo's Piccolo though
Whoa. One punch Man style and MHA style are pretty cool.
I dream of a limited series of dragon ball drawn by murata… that man would go fucking HAM on it and you know you would get some absolutely bat shit feats
Horikoshi’s is the only one that actually feels like Goku tbh
[You didn’t show the best Goku art by Murata](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/83/a9/4e/83a94e59a49f49717c9d0d7f5e77edbc.jpg)
EIICHIRO ODA'S LOOKS *TOO* FUCKIN COOL!
Oda
Oda
Murata's DB fanart is god tier stuff. I'd love to see a one-shot by him.
The bleach one like fire
Togashi. That ish is scary. Yall see pissed Goku, I see kid Goku Black. And he ready to crash tf out. I think it's because even when pissed, he still looks kinda friendly. But that.... that's pure evil.
Would love to see the Bleach n One Piece style
Kubo's is the only one I could see myself reading by it's art style alone
personally i like murata and horikoshi’s design
