One of them is that the creator and author of the series – Akira Toriyama forgot some details.
10. Launch
Does anyone still remember Launch?
Akira Toriyama doesn’t seem to even remember her.
9. Super Saiyan 2
Apparently while Toriyama was helping write the Dragon Ball Super, Battle of the Gods movie script, he actually forgot about Super Saiyan’s second state, Super Saiyan 2. This was brought up in an interview that
Honestly, we can’t blame him for that.
8. Humanoid character
If you’ve been following Dragon Ball for a long time, you’ll probably remember that there are quite a few characters that fit this description.
Surely you’ve noticed those characters are completely missing from the original series’ sequels.
7. Broly
Daiki Miki, the man behind the MMO Dragon Ball Online and characters like Towa and Fu, spoke about how Akira Toriyama admitted to forgetting who the legendary Super Saiyan Broly was.
So, without this new movie, Broly might have truly become a legend.
6. Goten
This is a bit of an aside since Goten is still in the series, but we can see how Toriya forgot about one of his characters when they didn’t have anything to do initially.
He said that before Toriyama forgot Broly, he asked Toriyama to sketch Goten.
5. Tail
This is debatable but we have evidence as to why we believe Toriyama almost forgot about the tail.
If Goku’s first child, Gohan, was born with a tail, what happened to Vegeta’s first child?
4. Mercenary Tao
Do you think such an influential villain would be remembered by Toriyama?
An example of this forgetfulness was seen when Toriyama was interviewed and asked about the mercenary.
3. Super Saiyan form 1 does not have electric sparks
This isn’t as annoying as it was a few years ago, but it’s still an example of Toriyama’s forgetfulness.
Everyone can see that when Goku first became form 1 and all the characters who had form 1 from the Android story to the Cell story, none of them had electric sparks emitted from the aura.
2. Android 18’s hair color
Gotta give Toriyama an absent-mindedness award for talking about this.
Anyway, apparently during production of the movie Battle of the Gods, he forgot that Android 18’s hair was blonde, leading him to give it purple instead.
1. Tenshinhan’s multi-handed technique
This skill is called the Four Witches Technique created by the Three-Eyed Man.
This technique was used during Dragon Ball and was forgotten until briefly used again in Dragon Ball Super.
Can you think of anything that most people have forgotten?
