Below is author Akira Toriyama’s answer about some Dragon Ball characters in an interview, there are quite a few surprises there!

Goku

Basically, author Akira Toriyama wants viewers to see that Goku in his original work is a guy who does not fight for the benefit of others, but simply has the desire to fight strong people.

The author also expressed his dissatisfaction because the filmmaker sometimes arbitrarily turned Goku into a righteous hero like many other works.

The author is also ready for Goku to lose in many ways or even admit defeat himself.

Vegeta

Dragon Ball: Author Akira Toriyama's character building depends a lot on fans' opinions!

Initially, Akira intended for Vegeta to appear and then be destroyed like other normal villains.

Many people may have compared Vegeta with Sasuke or some characters who compete with the main characters in other series, but you must remember that they are different in one very important point, that is, they are defined.

But lately the author has almost forgotten about this.

Piccolo

Piccolo used to be author Akira’s most favorite character, but fan reactions to Piccolo were not as positive as for Vegeta.

In the new Movie Broly released late last year, Akira could only let Piccolo appear to teach Fusion Dance to Vegeta to satisfy his love.

Gohan/Goten

In Cell Saga, author Akira originally wanted Gohan to replace Goku as the main character of the new part. Gohan was raised by the author to be stronger than Goku and let Monkey be killed by Cell, leaving the land to his son.

Goten is similar to Gohan, he did not receive the approval of fans so he could only sadly be the main character’s child.
