Summary
Vegeta’s power-ups in Dragon Ball Super appear to be inspired by Toyotarou’s previous work in Dragon Ball AF. Vegeta’s technique of instantly transforming into different Super Saiyan forms is shown in both Dragon Ball AF and Dragon Ball Super. The introduction of the “explosive power” technique in the Dragon Ball Super manga (but not in the anime) confirms Toyotarou’s own input and influence on the series.
Super Dragon Ball appears to have some plot developments of its own thanks to one of the franchise’s most popular fan comics. One of Vegeta’s most interesting powers comes from the Dragon Ball doujinshi, or fan comic, called Dragon Ball AF, was created by Toyotarou on a whim before he became the official artist for Dragon Ball Super. In Japan, doujinshi are a creative industry in their own right, and official manga publishers actually have quite active relationships with doujinshi artists, who sometimes turn to writing and drawing manga. official for famous series.
Writing under the name Toyble, current Dragon Ball Super artist Toyotarou began his career with a Dragon Ball doujinshi named Dragon Ball AF. The manga is a continuation of the series that takes place after Dragon Ball GT. Toyotarou’s work with Dragon Ball AF caught the attention of Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama and his publishers at Shueisha, who eventually hired Toyotarou to help Toriyama continue the franchise officially. , Dragon Ball Super. Some plot beats in the official Dragon Ball Super manga appear to be inspired by Toyotarou’s previous work on Dragon Ball AF. Specifically, Vegeta’s ability to instantly transform into a Saiyan seems to originate from a fight scene in Dragon Ball AF.
Vegeta’s “Explosive Power” strategy first appeared in Dragon Ball AF
Vegeta’s power-up in Dragon Ball Super chapter #22 appears to be inspired by the Toyotarou fan comic.
In the unfinished fifth chapter of Dragon Ball AF, Vegeta faces off against the villain Xicor, the offspring of Goku and the Supreme Kai of the West. Although weaker than Xicor on paper, Vegeta is able to match him through some excellent tactics. Vegeta uses a technique that allows him to instantly transform through different Super Saiyan forms. For example, because Super Saiyan 3 is agile but has the obvious weakness of lacking stamina, Vegeta only goes into Super Saiyan 3 long enough to dodge Xicor’s attack and close the distance, then immediately Switch to Super Saiyan 4 to take advantage of this form. Raise your stamina, then enter the powerful but slow Super Saiyan Stage 3 at the time of attack.
Later, this technique appeared again in Toyotarou’s Dragon Ball Super manga. In chapter #22, Vegeta uses similar tactics when fighting Fused Zamasu. Like the previous Super Saiyan 3 form, it was determined that Super Saiyan Blue was the cause of the warrior’s major energy drain. To compensate for this weakness, Vegeta once again uses the technique of instantly transforming through different forms, in this case Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Blue. As is the case with the Dragon Ball AF doujinshi, Vegeta is thus able to gain an advantage over stronger opponents through superior tactics and optimizing his power. Due to the similarities between the two fight scenes, Vegeta’s strategy against Fused Zamasu may be inspired by Toyotarou’s previous fan work.
Toyotarou is leaving his mark on Dragon Ball Super
It is important to note that this technique, called “explosive power” does not appear in the Dragon Ball Super anime during the fight against Zamasu. It was only introduced in the manga adaptation, which makes it more likely that it could be the result of Toyotarou himself. Toyotarou’s career path is an incredible story. From being a fan artist to Akira Toriyama’s assistant and chosen successor is truly inspiring. Likewise, the story behind Vegeta’s most impressive power-up is not only a great moment, but also a great callback to Toyotarou’s early career and proves that the young artist is truly had an impact on Vegeta’s career.
