I guess that explains my gripes with hxh's dubbing quality.
Yu yu hakusho is better voiced than hxh. Why couldn't funimation acquire hxh instead? :'(
I'm not much of a sub watcher for hxh btw
It's togashi's style
He takes popular hand gestures and turns them into poses for the actual attacks of his characters. He's also done this for yu yu hakusho . It's pretty creative.
Toriyama probably wanted Gohan dead to give Goten a boost of motivation for mastering the fusion technique with kid trunks and to add more drama to the over aching story.who knows?
