What if goku and gohan swapped themes?

[@knightfallprotocol]

Looks like I kicked the weebhive.

[@BeholdMyStrength]

WeebWars '24. I'll never understand how people can say the Jap soundtrack (if you even can call it that) surpasses anything by the Faulconer group. Those dumb horns that are going off in every "piece", and it's just so BLAND. Day of Fate is definitely the best bit of the Jap soundtrack, but one little golden nugget out of a manurepile does not, a good soundtrack make.

[@razkable]

Gohan gets the goku theme when he begins the final kamehameha as goku says make cell pay for what he has done and gohan says i will it drops.....that theme works for that situation cause goku inspires him and is his dad and helps him in the end...goku theme doesn't really fit gohan...it is more sorrowful and angelic and you can hear the conflict regret going on in goku's heart with the rising choir voices and guitar riffs and piano and synth keys

The thing with Goku's theme is that it showcases something we've never seen before. It's angelic because it's brand new. With Gohan's theme, it's heavy and creates hype because we know what's happening. We don't immediately know that it's a new Super Saiyan form, but we've seen Gohan explode before, just never as a Super Saiyan. So we know what we're seeing.

Gohan is straight up anger, hope and sadness, the piano does a lot on his theme, but Goku's theme is more of a revenge and spite type of anger, the reverb and acid beat makes it very clear, that's not really Gohan's vibe.

[@jabrark5828]

Goku's theme definitely gives the vibe of continuous, unadulterated change, as you can see during Gohan raging up when the tense minor chords come in, then buffing up while the music softens and still buffing while it picks up. With Gohan's Anger, it's a lot more emotionally charged, with that early minor riff over Goku's line, and then the progressional transformation when the piano comes in, with the epic complete pause when he transforms and the break in of the heaviest part of the song with his completed transformation in full view.

[@Jv615]

Ngl, this goes hard

[@geothepoly]

1:00 Absolutely insane aura

[@Ukogas]

Wouldn't switch them personally, gohan's theme is more emotional and kinda resonates with gohan not wanting to be violent. Sure, goku's big thing was mercy, but he was always willing to fight with his full power and loved fighting.

[@jaysant6958]

I think that was a perfect swap and that’s how the music selection the episodes should’ve used.

[@newhybrid101]

Gohans scene is better emotionally and cause we were growing with him etc. Gokus scene is better in the way of background and how it looks cooler and more epic visually Gohan had way better build up for multiple arcs and the fact he couldn't win till now made it better. With Goku its not as good cause he was glazed by the writing for the whole series. Gohan may not have trained as much but he suffered so much since he was a little child,and the fact that he often felt helpless made this better

These themes work well swapped, but it still works better the original way. Goku's theme really gives off the whole "fulfilling a legendary badass prophecy" vibe, Gohan's theme quite literally feels like a heartbeat, like "this child has been beaten and abused and lost so much and now he's been tragically forced past his breaking point" One makes you feel like "holy shit he's finally gonna do it", and the other makes you think "this poor kid needs a hug. . .

Chris Ayers is the indisputable best English Freeza of all time but Linda Young really brought alot of character to the role too.

[@itsRhodi]

Both were pretty good, but I think Gohan's in particular has a sort of.. dissociative? aspect to it that really makes it sit at home much better with Gohan. After all, Gohan is kind of helpless in this situation until he takes the mantle and decides enough is enough, and I think his theme emphasizes that in a way. In Goku's case, he's sort of accepted that he's the only one who could stand up to Freeza, and his theme feels very focused in a way that plays into his role in the arc, imo. Again, these were fine to listen to and a fun experiment, but it also helps me further appreciate the original placement of these tracks.
