What are the forgotten settings of " Dragon Ball "? "Dragon Ball" is the work of Akira Toriyama. During the serialization period, the number of readings dropped sharply many times, resulting in constant changes to the plot.

Akira Toriyama was working very hard at this time. He had just finished the serialization of "Arale" and started drawing "Dragon Ball" again. During the peak period of the creation of these two comics, Toriyama could only sleep once every three days. During the

period, Toriyama Akira worked hard to make many temporary ideas in order to keep the series going, but he forgot about it afterwards, resulting in many loopholes.

Let’s talk about why Toriyama Akira draws comics?

Akira Toriyama was born in the countryside of Aichi Prefecture, Japan. He is a country boy. He is quite smart, but somewhat lazy and procrastinating by nature. Under the strict education of his parents, Toriyama entered a design company after graduating from high school.

Although Akira Toriyama hated this company for decades, in his later years he admitted that the design techniques he learned at the company had a significant impact on his comic style.

After Toriyama Akira entered the company, of course, even if he became an adult, his parents would no longer care about him. As a result, Toriyama Akira's nature broke out and he was very lazy and procrastinating at work. Japanese people pay more attention to time and can tolerate being late for work occasionally, but Akira Toriyama is late almost every day. As for the design drawings to be completed, Akira Toriyama has been procrastinating for a long time, always later than the company's prescribed time.

The boss of the company thought that Akira Toriyama had a poor sense of responsibility and was not qualified for larger jobs, so he asked him to do some piecemeal work, and the salary was as high as that of an office assistant girl (that is, a handyman).

Akira Toriyama has worked in a design company for three years, and his laziness and procrastination have not changed at all. The boss couldn't bear it and persuaded him to quit. Toriyama Akira lost his job. He was only 23 years old at the time.

Japanese people tend to work in one company all their lives. Akira Toriyama has little education and was fired at such a young age. It is difficult to find a decent job in this country.

The unemployed Toriyama Akira could only make a living by drawing comics temporarily, and he completely changed his procrastination problem. In the Japanese comics industry in the 1970s, most of them were amateur painters or students, and very few people worked in this industry professionally. Akira Toriyama is almost the only cartoonist who has studied design. Many of his drawings are as detailed as industrial design drawings, which is a breath of fresh air.

As a result, his drawing was noticed by the rookie editor Torishima Kazuhiko (the prototype of Piccolo the Great Demon King and Dr. Masilit ), and it slowly became popular.

First, Dragon Ball is so powerful, why not just destroy the enemy?

Dragon Ball can grant any wish, so the question is, why not just destroy the enemy?

This is a logical error, and it is estimated that Akira Toriyama cannot solve it.

Saiyan Vegeta and Nappa will come to the earth in one year and completely wipe out mankind.

And Shenlong Since Sun Wukong can be resurrected, why can't Vegeta and Nappa be directly eliminated?

cannot use Shenlong to destroy Tao Baibai because Tao Baibai has some dragon balls in his hand and little Goku can't get them together;

cannot destroy the old Piccolo Demon King because Piccolo directly blew up the Shenlong;

cannot destroy Raditz because Raditz kidnapped Gohan in a surprise attack and will kill people after 24 hours. Goku has no chance to collect the Dragon Balls.

However, for up to 1 year, there is no problem using Dragon Balls to deal with Vegeta and Nappa.

Toriyama obviously forgot about this setting, and had to give an explanation later, that is, Dragon Ball cannot do things beyond the creator.

In other words, Dragon Ball cannot destroy enemies stronger than gods.

Shenxian's combat power is only 310, so using Shenlong can't even destroy Frieza 's minions!

It’s just that this setting doesn’t make sense.

Even if Dragon Ball cannot directly destroy enemies, there are still many things it can do. At that time, Kaio had already seen Vegeta and Nappa flying in the space in an aircraft.

Saiyans, like humans, need oxygen to survive.

Then as long as they use Shenlong to destroy their aircraft, they will be directly hanging in the universe.

These are things that cannot be justified and can only be ignored.

Second, the dying setting.

This is also the method that Akira Toriyama came up with in a flash.

During the Frieza chapter, the reading volume of the comic series reached its peak.

At that time, in order to maintain reading volume, Vegeta and Goku were required to defeat a large number of powerful Frieza's men in a short period of time.

However, Vegeta's combat power on Earth was only 18,000, and it increased to 24,000 on Namek.

According to the previous settings of "Dragon Ball", Vegeta must go through a long period of training if he wants to improve his combat effectiveness. It is impossible to do it in just a few days when Frieza collects the Dragon Balls.

In desperation, Toriyama Akira could only launch the near-death setting.

is the Saiyan . After recovering from the near-death state, the combat effectiveness will be greatly increased.

Vegeta, who had a combat power of 24,000, was seriously injured by Saab , who had transformed into a combat power of 36,000.

After recovering from near death, Vegeta's combat power surged to about 40,000, and he killed Sabo after a battle.

Later, Vegeta was seriously injured by Likum of the Ginyu Special Forces . After all, the latter had a combat strength of 45,000.

After recovering from near death, Vegeta's combat power increased dramatically, and he easily killed Geese of the Ginyu Special Forces, who had a combat power of 43,000.

Facing the powerful Frieza, Vegeta asked Krillin to beat himself to a near-death state. After recovering, his combat power increased to 2.5 million in one fell swoop.

In other words, in just a few days, Vegeta's combat power increased 100 times.

Sun Wukong's combat power is similar, with only more than 8,000 under normal conditions. After several near-deaths, before fighting Frieza, his combat power was as high as 6 million. The setting of

is also illogical.

According to this model, Saiyans do not need to train. They can just prepare a pack of fairy beans and let them beat themselves until they are seriously injured before recovering.

Even a rookie like Sun Wukong’s brother Raditz will soon have at least several million fighting power if he continues like this.

The key is that Sun Wukong's near death increased from 180,000 to 6 million, which is more than 30 times.

So, Son Goku’s next near-death cost is 200 million, while Frieza’s final stage is only 120 million, which is no match at all.

The scary thing is that if Sun Wukong is close to death again, it will be more than 6 billion, and he can kill Frieza with one punch.

Because this dying setting was too exaggerated, Toriyama Akira later stopped using it and treated it as if it no longer existed.

Third, teleportation.

On an alien planet, Sun Wukong learned to teleport, which can teleport to any corner of the world.

With this kind of martial arts, he is invincible, similar to the time traveler in science fiction movies.

If you are strong, you can use this move to chase the enemy anywhere; if you are weak, the enemy will not be able to catch up with you no matter how powerful you are.

Anyone who learns this trick will be invincible. This is also a major vulnerability.

Fourth, giant ape setting.

As long as a Saiyan turns into a giant ape, his combat power can be increased by 10 times.

The key is that Saiyans can use their own energy to artificially create the moon, and they can transform into giant apes at any time.

itself is also very exaggerated.

Even Sun Wukong’s garbage brother Raditz has a combat power of 1500. Once turned into a giant ape, the combat power is 15,000, which can defeat the very powerful Qiu Yi of Frieza Legion .

There are hundreds of low-level warriors like Raditz among the Saiyans, wouldn't it be possible to have hundreds of them with a combat power of over 10,000?

Similar to Nappa, a superior warrior with a combat power of more than 5,000, there are also dozens of Saiyans, and the number of giant apes can reach 50,000 or 60,000.

This kind of powerful combat power can only be dealt with by Frieza's strongest Ginyu .

The combat effectiveness increased tenfold in a short period of time. How could the enemy be able to deal with it?

When Frieza's third form has a combat power of 2.1 million, Gohan also has a combat power of 1.6 million when he is furious.

If Gohan turned into a giant ape at this moment, he would have a fighting power of 16 million. Frieza would be punched to death before he could transform.

Therefore, the giant ape is also a plot that must be forgotten. Trunks doesn’t even have a tail.

Fifth, rebirth settings.

Piccolo can be reborn. As long as the core part of the head is fine, other body parts can be reborn.

There are two loopholes here. The first is that the old Piccolo Demon King was shot through the chest by Little Goku and died.

According to this setting, Old Piccolo will not die and can completely repair his body on his own.

The second one is Saru has the gene of Piccolo and can also be reborn. During a one-on-one duel, Shalu's upper body was shattered by a shock wave, and his head had long been blown into powder, but he could be reborn.

Sixth, there are fewer and fewer fairy beans.

Little Wukong went to the Immortal Garin for the first and second time, and found that there were many large tanks filled with fairy beans, just like food.

It seems that fairy beans are not something difficult to grow at all.

The strange thing is that there were fewer and fewer fairy beans later on, and they were basically extinct on Namek.

Garin Immortal explained that fairy beans have not been planted recently.

is such a good thing, why not plant it?

because this is also a vulnerability.

As long as you eat fairy beans, you can completely restore your body and combat effectiveness. This means that this warrior will not be injured or tired at all. How can the enemy defeat you?

is equivalent to cheating.

Seventh, Lan Qi disappeared.

Lan Qi was originally a very important figure, with a dual personality and a sexy beauty.

Lan Qi has appeared in the plot since childhood when Wukong and Xiao Lin were learning arts. She is a relatively important supporting role.

The young female characters in Dragon Ball at that time were Riki and Bulma.

What’s interesting is that Lan Qi suddenly disappeared, and Turtle Immortal introduction flew away together with Tianjin Rice .

The strange thing is that Lan Qi never appeared again, and Tianjin fans never mentioned her.

Only in the final stage of the animated version, a picture of Lan Qi appeared, and she became a middle-aged courier.

Readers guessed that it was Tianjin Fan who was obsessed with martial arts training and finally broke up with Lan Qi. Even if they break up, Lan Qi can still return to Kame House.

When being interviewed, Toriyama Akira once answered frankly that he had completely forgotten the role of Lan Qi.
