Summary
Toriyama's iconic destroyed set serves more practical purposes than narrative integrity. From elaborate to convenient, intricate background art has been replaced with destructive scenes. Effectively supports foundation destruction; Avoid bogging your assistant down with detailed drawings.
In addition to intense combat action, one of the outstanding features of Dragon ball is its chaotic background image. Of course, in a story where characters often launch mountain-crushing attacks, it seems like the destruction is not only necessary to the story but also imparts a significant visual impact – which for manga is basic. However, according to Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama, the reason he included his iconic setting was less to do with maintaining the integrity of the story and more to do with the logistics of producing the content .
In a wide-ranging 2018 interview with Shōnen Jump, Dragon Ball's longtime publisher, Toriyama talked about how he got into the business with Shōnen Jump, the hard truths of the manga industry , as well as his creative and artistic approach to creating a comic book. Manga has become an international cultural phenomenon. The interview was reposted on the website SkullKnight.net by a member named Hitoshura.
At the end of the interview, Toriyama was asked by the presenter to comment on the panel layout in his manga. According to Toriyama, he has no “hard and fast” rules about what he puts in a panel or how he arranges them on a page other than putting the reader's enjoyment “front and center.” mind” in his consideration.
I tried to include panels that would attract the reader's eye when they open the page.
So, since it's a manga that focuses on Goku's journey to becoming the ultimate warrior in the universe, it was important to include intense fight scenes to satisfy fans. With so many characters with special skills, the destructive force present in any fight means the background scenery will complement the combat. However, Toriyama also revealed in the interview that the background destruction has a much more realistic explanation.

Some background details are too time-consuming to draw
While the idea that Toriyama needed to depict the massive destruction and destruction that Dragon Ball's best battles would cause to the “area of operations” fit the story's intense fighting style; Toriyama admitted in the interview that their involvement was motivated more by practicality than the need to maintain the integrity of the story. As for Toriyama, Destruction of drawings is more efficient and convenient rather than illustrating combat action against a stable background.
“I always thought it would be convenient because I could leave it to my assistant and it would make the fighters' positions clear and give a sense of speed….
But apparently it was very difficult for my assistant to draw that grid. So I got it destroyed pretty quickly. If my only assistant was tied to the background, my work would be done first and I would have to erase the pencils – which is surprisingly tiring.”
Initially, Toriyama used complex sets because they could be used to enhance the actions and movements of the characters. However, he later realized they caused more trouble than benefits. First, they tend to burden his assistants. They would get so bogged down in the details that he would have finished drawing the character by the time they were finished. As a result, he would have to do a lot of “exhausting” editing to integrate the characters with the setting.
Do Dragon Ball's fierce battles require dynamic chaos?
By superimposing background shots of widespread destruction and ruin over more intricately detailed shots, Toriyama solved the problem of his assistants—in essence—wasting time on The drawing is likely to be significantly edited. As it turns out, choice does not diminish the “product”. It is credited with helping popularize the series with its fan base.
