Toyotaro also answered questions about Dragon ball, as expected, highlighting the fact that he confirmed that he felt very proud to have created Black Freezer, because this was the definitive transformation of this iconic villain, being extremely powerful and being able to overcome all Z warriors in a simple way and in any of its forms.

It was the appearance of Black Freezer which notoriously increased fans’ expectations on the continuationbecause everything will converge in a brutal confrontation. However, Toyotaro’s favorite character is none other than Granolah.

For Volume 16 of Dragon ball Super, Toyotaro revealed that he made many changes to Granolah before Toriyama accepted him, finally. This character is extremely important, since he is the protagonist of the Granolah arch the survivor, Being the last individual of the cerelian race alive. He wanted to kill Frieza to take revenge and the HEOTERS family manipulated him.

Granolah is Toyotaro’s favorite character

All Granolah’s participation was impressive. And this survived the Mascre of the Saiyan Army under Freezeer’s orders, but was saved by Bardock. However, his resentment ended up making it vulnerable and was manipulated by the heeters, taking advantage of his intentions and using him to face Goku and Vegeta.

In the end, the boy was able to know the truth and understand what happened, which allowed him to change a little mental level. In fact, he ended up allying with Goku and Vegeta to face gas, an extraordinarily powerful villain.

However, although these three characters worked together, they were not able to overcome gas. AND It was then that Black Freezer appeared to show his new powerdestroying it in the blink of an eye, surprising the Saiyan and the readers.

Toyotaro has a lot of work ahead, because he is not only working on his own original manga, but also has the difficult task of continuing with this wonderful work that we all love and that has accompanied us for generations. AND There is a lot of expectation about it. Hopefully, soon, news about a possible return will be shared.

The artist of Dragon ball reveals what his favorite and sure character is not imagining who he is was originally published in Alfa Beta plays.

Dragon ball is a franchise that has given all kinds of moments To his community of followers over four decades either in the manga or anime, although that does not mean that Toriyama at the time would leave certain characters aside, which in the end had a justification for not continuing to leave. Now, when it comes to the most iconic, on the side of the villains nobody doubts that Freezer, Cell and Boo They are at the top.

In that sense, waiting to know when the manga and anime of Dragon ball Super will return, there are many who share content of Old franchise battleswhich led many to the edge of the seat because of how exciting they were. And while all have had their more and less, One of the most iconic is Cell against Goku that ended with the latter withdrawing because he thought he could not win.

Dragon ball Z had a spectacular battle between Goku and Cell

While this ended up being true because It was Gohan who ended with Cellmany still keep in their memory the encounter between Cell and the protagonist, which has given rise to even montages or improvements. In the latter case, it can be seen that in Reddit they have shared A brief look of what would have been the battle between Goku and Cell In 4K, this being something spectacular to see and that also makes clear the enormous quality that Dragon ball already had in his time with Z:

It should be noted that there are many who ask that Dragon ball Z return with An anime remakewhich has always been questioned quite a lot because, on the one hand, Kai already exists, while on the other side The quality of the original is so good that is still seen well today. We will have to wait in any case for the anime to return with the new Dragon ball Super stories that have not yet been adapted.

The article is the incredible fight between Goku and Cell in Dragon ball Z to 4K was originally published in Alfa Beta plays.

It has been more than a year since the sad death of Akira Toriyama, father of Dragon ball and other transcendent works, such as Dr. Slump, for example. After its departure, the Dragon ball website A special section called “The Toriyama Archives” began “in which he shares illustrations, sketches and unpublished art of characters.

The particularity of this column is that the drawings and illustrations can only be seen for 24 hours and then disappear. Thanks to “the Toriyama archives” we have seen many curious and impressive arts. But now it’s time to talk about a very relaxing and comfortable seestarring Goten Child in his daily life. Next, we will tell you more details.

This illustration shows Goten Child in his day to day

Goten is the protagonist of this adorable illustration

Goten is one of the most curious characters in the entire franchise. And this was introduced in the last arch of Dragon ball Z as Goku’s youngest son. From an early age, he proved to have great qualities for fights, although it is clear that it will not become like Gohan. In fact, together with Trunks, he transformed in Super Saiyan being very small.

The great advance of Goten and Trunks surprised all adults, including Vegeta. Later, these boys would star in the fusion technique to beat Buu. But after this arch, they have not had relevance.

Toyotaro acknowledges that He has not properly used Goten And you want to do something better with the character in the future. But in the meantime, we have this beautiful illustration starring Goku’s youngest son and we can see him in his day to day.

It is important to highlight that this drawing belongs to the draft cover of Volume 38 of Dragon ball and that it was officially launched on August 4, 1994. In this illustration we can see Goten, When he was a child, enjoying the tranquility of his day.

The drawing raises us some doubts, being mainly where Goten is heading, because it is not clear if he is returning home after being shopping, which is most likely. But we can see him mounted on a dragon, which seems to be loading the purchase bag in your neck.

We can intuit that this illustration corresponds to the days of peace before the appearance of BUU. This scene is really adorablesince the child has not always been a great protagonist, but now we can see him in a more traditional facet of his life.

In addition, Goten has her classic clothing she debuted in the series, being the orange GI and a blue long sleeve shirt. But it’s not all, since this drawing It represents very well one of the characteristics of Goku’s children And it is its connection with nature and animals.

Like Gohan, Goten has also proven to be someone with an honest and innocent heart, so he has not had malice in his soul and has been able to relate directly to the animals of nature, with whom he gets very well.

With respect to Goten’s future, this is quite uncertain. And it has not been relevant in the plot from the events of the Buu arch, when he was the warrior prepared to overcome the villain through the merger. Recently, In Dragon ball Super: Super Hero, reappearedbut as a teenager, although he did not have a remarkable participation, because the events focused on Trunks.

However, Toriyama has made it clear that he would like to work better in the future, so this expectation is left for the character’s fans. It would be very interesting that had an opportunity to return to action and the protagonist group.

The Dragon ball article shares an illustration that offers a brief look at Goten’s day to day when he was a child was originally published in Alfa Beta Play.
