Within the Dragon Ball narrative, one of the most unique characters is Goku’s son, Gohan. He is probably the only Saiyan who hates fighting and wants to be a scholar. In many ways, he is the exact opposite of his father, who loves challenging strong opponents and testing out his own abilities against them. However, there is a reason for that.
Son Gohan – Dragon Ball | Toei Animation
While almost all of the other fighters in Dragon Ball had to go through intense training, Gohan is the only one who trained under Piccolo, and by the looks of it, the training was quite dense for Gohan as he was a child at that time. The intensity of the training was not only felt by Gohan but also by the voice actors in Dragon Ball.

In the Dragon Ball universe, the only character that is debated to be stronger than the protagonist, Goku, is his first son, Gohan. Many fans believe that Gohan’s achievements as a kid in Dragon Ball Z were far more commendable than Goku’s. He was the youngest Saiyan to attain the power of Super Saiyan in the world.
Gohan’s Super Saiyan 2
Not only that, but he was also the first Saiyan to reach Super Saiyan 2, and he did so while fighting Cell, who is considered to be one of the most evil villains in the Dragon Ball world. Even the likes of Goku, Vegeta, and Future Trunks couldn’t reach that level. Today marks the 31st anniversary of Gohan doing the unthinkable.

Akira Toriyama’s Decision to Abandon His Original Plans for Dragon Ball Also Changed Goku Completely
Dragon Ball is famous for its action scenes, iconic protagonist, and the classic ‘Kamehameha’ move. But did you know that Akira Toriyama began Dragon Ball as a comedy series at first? At its inception, the manga was not very popular, and Akira Toriyama was inspired by Journey to the West and Jackie Chan’s kung-fu movies.
The resulting Dragon Ball manga had a tiny Goku with a lot of gag elements. However, it started gaining popularity only after some of the battles were featured. In the end Toriyama had to change the style of Dragon Ball as well as Goku.

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero’s Latest Trailer Looks to Have Refined the Most Pleasing Move in the Game
It’s an amazing time to be a Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi fan, as Bandai Namco has unleashed another exhilarating trailer for the next installment. With a theme called Master and Apprentice for the footage, there’s a lot to unpack, ranging from more characters confirmed to be joining the roster to stages that look like they’ve been taken straight out of the anime.
But there’s one gameplay mechanic that also gets featured in Sparking Zero‘s latest trailer that Budokai Tenkaichi 3 players will recognize, as it’s making a comeback in its most refined state.

Energy is high again as the new Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero trailer has landed on video sharing platform YouTube. This time, it is themed ‘Master vs. Apprentice’ and showcases some unbreakable bonds we saw back in our days. It will be a nostalgic ride for many. The video features characters including Piccolo, Master Roshi, Yamcha, and more.
But the fans have their eyes turned to somewhere else. They are highlighting one feature that may make the game more interesting than ever. And if the speculation arrow is on point, then we might come to know that it is being pulled straight from another Dbz video game.
Players Would Want to Choose a Worthy Z Fighter Here
Master Roshi is among the funniest characters in the Dragon Ball universe.
Dragon Ball seems incomplete with just one-vs.-one battles. But one taking on two or even all the Z fighters is definitely the Dbz thing.

The Dragon Ball franchise has amassed a large fanbase over the years and Hollywood had its eye on adapting the popular franchise in live-action. There were a lot of expectations and with the negative track record of manga adaptations on the big screen, it was a big responsibility that 20th Century Fox and director James Wong took with the film.

The Dragon Ball saga has left fans mesmerized to the core through the original manga created by Akira Toriyama sensei and the anime adaptations that followed. However, despite being such a massive fan-favorite that almost everyone loves, the story failed to deliver perfectly in its first and last Hollywood live-action adaptation to date from 2009, which starred Justin Chatwin in the lead.
Dragonball Evolution (2009).
In fact, one of the most hated and criticized elements of the Dragonball Evolution film was the fact that Chatwin was chosen to play Son Goku, whose performance also didn’t sit well with fans. But that wasn’t the worst part, for from the plot elements to the superpowers to the way the animated characters were brought to life, Db fans were met with the worst nightmare of their imagination.

Created by Akira Toriyama, The Dragon Ball manga and anime series has overarched in its popularity, thanks to its well-written characters, gripping storylines, and a long list of antagonists that keeps the series interesting. The saga is now in its Superhero Arc, which focuses on Piccolo and our beloved Gohan-san, as Kakarot and Vegeta are off-planet focusing on getting stronger.

Toriyama-Sensei focused on presenting a more intrinsic, closed-loop story than the usual dynamic, and typical storyline that the franchise is usually known for. However, it looks like the mangaka artist’s vision had failed as larger-than-life visuals and a longer screen time of their favorite characters, that is Son-Goku and Vegeta were something they needed. To make things worse for Akira Toriyama, he noticed a grave slip-up in the title of the film which went unnoticed by everyone on the team.

The first name that comes to mind when one is discussing the most powerful in Dragon Ball Z would be either Goku or Vegeta. Goku because of the legendary Freiza fight (and Kaioken), and Vegeta because of his relentless aura of destruction. But wait, who was the first hero to reach the million mark in terms of power level? Definitely, Freiza, but the hero who did it first was none other than Piccolo.
The Namekian was able to achieve this incredible power upgrade right after being revived in the Frieza narrative. Piccolo did it by absorbing the abilities and corpse of his companion, the Namek soldier Nail. Piccolo’s power surge surpasses Frieza’s evolved condition, even while wearing weighty gear.

The world of otakus reached a standstill on March 8 when Akira Toriyama’s death was finally revealed to the public. The grief amongst fans was infectious as it spread worldwide. The creator of Dragon Ball was no more, and it took time to process the absence of a legend.
After the initial mourning passed, fans slowly began wondering about Dragon Ball Super, the manga that became orphaned. While all the other Dragon Ball manga were completed, Dragon Ball Super was the only ongoing series.
Soon afterward, it was announced that Dragon Ball Super would go on an indefinite hiatus after the release of chapter 103. The chapter was released on March 20, 2024, after its usual one-month gap, but just a week later, the manga’s illustrator revealed some befuddling behind-the-scenes details.

According to Toyotarou, his original draft of the chapter featured everyone simply turning their backs and departing. However, the last revision by the series’ creator, Akira Toriyama, introduced a significant change.

However, Toyotarou shared that he only received the news of Toriyama’s passing after submitting the draft. Reflecting on this sequence of events, Toyotarou expressed that while he didn’t draw Piccolo with the intention of paying tribute to Toriyama, he couldn’t help but find additional layers of meaning in the final panel.
