However, for obvious reasons, the reactions towards Logan’s cosplay aren’t very positive.

Ngl I feel like he could have actually pulled something decent off. But bro got the worst costume in a hot minute
The criticism didn’t only emerge due to his past controversies, but the cosplay itself was lackluster. The wig, and costume were not quite right, and he couldn’t properly embody the character.
On top of that, for many, Goku is more than just a character; he’s a symbol of resilience, courage, and a desire for constant self-improvement. To fans, Logan Paul’s attempt to embody Goku felt like a misrepresentation of these qualities.

If Logan Paul genuinely wants to connect with anime fans, showing a deeper understanding and appreciation for characters, and for the culture itself could go a long way.

Moving forward, this incident might influence how Paul, and other celebrities, approach their involvement in fan-driven cultures like anime.
