History

Background to the start of serialization

This work had various twists and turns before the serialization began.Toriyama and the editor in chargeKazuhiko TorishimaWas serialized at that time, "Dr. Slump"ofideaI wanted to end the series because it was running out, but I can not finish the popular work so easily, and under the condition that if I start a new series three months after the end of the series, I can quit, ``Dr. The cut-out works "Dragon Boy" and "Tong Poo Great Adventure" drawn in parallel with the serialization of "Slump" (both worksAkira Toriyama ○ Theater Theater VOL.2Based on^[16][17], Solidifying the story of "Dragon Ball"^[16].

At the plotting stage,Journey to the WestAlong with the elements of^[18], The idea of ​​"collecting balls" isNanso Satomi HakkendenWas taken from^[19], "Because "Hakkenden" has 8 balls, it would be disappointing if they were the same."^[20], The title is movie "Burn DragonWas taken from^[21].. In this way, the initial concept of this work was put together.

At first, I was trying to proceed with the story aiming at Toriyama version "Saiyuki", but the reaction of Torishima in charge was cold, "Is it not Saiyuki itself?"^[18].. Therefore, the second draft (SF elements were adopted and the clothes were modern) and the third draft (setting quite close to the current "Dragon Ball") were added, and finally the elements of "Saiki" were the main characters. In addition to the name and character design of the, only the remaining remains in some early episodes and items^[16].

History from the start of serialization to the end of serialization

It started serializing with a large treatment of 5 consecutive weeks color but it was not very popular at first^[22]Although it was good with expected votes at the beginning, the popularity gradually declined, and the ranking in the questionnaire result was sometimes 15th^[16].. Toriyama, who was in charge, pointed out that the protagonist is plain, so it's not popular, so Toriyama will add the theme of "protagonist in pursuit of strength" to his work.^[22].. The idea is to lower the sub-characters once to create a training version, and the Tenkaichi Budokai will begin to show the results, and the character of the protagonist Son Goku will be established and the popularity will rise sharply. At the same time, Fuji TV talked to Shueisha, which led to the animation.^[17].

Won the 1st place in the reader survey in the Tenkaichi Budokai edition. After that, until the end of the seriesImmovable 1st placeBecomes Its popularity goes beyond the boundaries of manga,ド ラ ゴ ン ボ ー ル] The highest rating in Episode 4729.5%Recorded. NES softwareDragon Ball The mystery of Shinryu』Records 120 million shipments, etc.^[23], The editorial department does not easily recognize the end of this work that has overwhelming support, and the serialization will continue like the successive popular work of "Weekly Shonen Jump". By the time the Freeza edition entered the climax, it became even more popular, and the 1991 votes of "Weekly Shonen Jump" held in 1000.questionnaireWins 815 votes^{[24][Note 1]}.. The economic effect has expanded not only in Japan but also globally by translating overseas and selling anime programs (see details# Expansion outside JapanSee). When the series ends, not only will it directly affect the circulation of "Weekly Shonen Jump", but also the publisher, Shueisha,Media mixHas been at the core of deploymentBandai,Fuji Television Network, Inc, Toei video (currentlyToei animation), and other achievements of companies engaged in various businesses related to this work,Stock priceIt is thought that there will be a great impact on, and a situation has been formed in which the series of popular works cannot be easily completed.

Although the end of the serialization in 1995 was due to Toriyama's strong demand, in the end it was necessary to make adjustments such as top-level meetings of related companies and to make management decisions by the upper layers of each company, It was an unprecedented situation that was finally realized after various considerations and preparations were made to minimize the impact on business results.^[26].. Later, Toriyama commented on Majin Buu, "A series of fierce and intense fights that even I am a cartoon writer. Now that I have become an obnoxious man with high blood pressure, I can not draw such a fight anymore. After that, I've lost the motivation to draw fighting manga."^[27].. Before the Majin Buu compilation, Toriyama had a promise with Shueisha to end the serialization after the Buu compilation, but was the editor-in-chief at the time.Norihiko HorieWas not informed of the fact halfway^[28].

Against this background, this work has been a long-term serialization for a total of 10 and a half years. No advance notice was given regarding the end of the series, and the final episode ended with a scene in which the adventure of Goku continued.

At that time, Toriyama said in an interview in 2013, "At that time, the serialization had already ended, so my head was suitable for the next job. So, to be honest, there is also "DB(GT)" again.

Configuration

The main stage of this work is the planet "Earth" of the solar system. Regarding civilization, more sophisticated mechanics than the real earth, such as the "Huipoi capsule" that instantiates an object and the "Dragon Radar" that detects a dragon ball, will appear. However, the types of mobile phones and the Internet found in today's real world have not appeared, because they were not yet popular at the time of serialization.^{[Note 2]}.. In addition to cars and motorcycles,Air carThere are also airplanes, etc., and they are used by carrying the aforementioned Huipoi capsules. Although the railroad does not appear in the work,LunchStates the line "Train robbery"^[40].. Akira Toriyama says, "We have not decided what kind of place in what era the dragon ball is. We can draw anything freely."^[41].

In addition to the Earth, there are many planets inhabited by humanoid intelligent life forms (Star Namek, Yardrat, etc.). Some of these planets also have stars with higher civilizations than Earth. In the universe, innumerable stars gather to form a nebula, and innumerable nebulae gather to form a galaxy, and the universe is an administrative unit to control the galaxy that exists in outer space to an infinite extent.

"Dragon ball super"

A manga version and a TV anime version based on the original draft by Akira Toriyama.

Sometimes gag manga characters and villages appear, and the characters of this work appear in gag manga, so in "Dragon Ball Super", Vegeta who fought Arale ignores the laws of physics with gag and there is no common sense at all. To the destructive strength unique to gag manga characters that do not pass, I gave up a fighting method that did not choose the means "Battle cartoon fighting is clear", and it was thrown away in the distance "Never again gag manga guy In "This Namex Hoshi Dragon Koen Mae-hakosho" recorded in "Super Kochi Turtle", even though you have a low fighting power, even if you attack Friza, your wounds and clothes will recover in a moment, and your weapon will suddenly appear. ToRyotsu KankichiFrieza was advised by his subordinate Apoor that he was a gag manga human being, and he wouldn't die forever. Vegeta who escaped by witnessing the strength tweeted that "I will never appear in gag manga again", and the gag element that was also in the original is included.

the term

spirit

A metaphor for the energy that flows through the body.It can be manipulated to fly, condense, emit and emit as a Qigong wave.By putting it in a part of the body, there are various usages such as increasing offensive power and defensive power, and if you train, you can feel the strength and position of the other party, you can understand the other party far away, and you can identify the individual. You can also hide the sign by completely erasing it.

Although the capacity of energy is directly related to the ability, it also serves as a guideline for measuring competence because it also relates to other factors such as skill and skill, but it is not an absolute standard.^[43].

Zeny

The main currency unit on earth, the world-wide "Zenny". Zenny isYenIt is the same image as "1 Zeny ≒ 1 yen"^[44].. The previous day of "Dragon Ball"Galaxy Patrol Jaco] In the final episode, the rate of the place where the character Daimori lives is "1000 billion Zeny = 1500 billion yen" (1 Zeny = 1.5 yen).

Age

In the world of workChronology.."Age" is used in the era.At the beginning of the series (the encounter between Goku and Bulma) is "Age 749", and at the end of the original (departure with Uub) is "Age 784".However, the word "age" is used directly in the work only for the trunks line in the Android / Cell edition, and the only way to know the history and time of the work is to calculate back from there. ..In addition, the notation method of the date is not unified, the anniversary of Piccolo Great Demon King is "May 5", and the appearance date of Android 9 and 19 is "May 20", which is the same as in the real world. While the calendar is used, the date of the cell game is "M 5th" and the month name is in English.^{[Note 3][Note 4]}.

Combat Power

An indicator of strength, a concept introduced from the Saiyan edition. In the originalOne eyeglassMold device "ScouterIt was expressed as a numerical value of the strength of the spirit.Although it is more specific than the technique of directly feeling the qi, the warriors who can control a small part of the qi explosively increase the qi during battle to increase the fighting power or dispel it. This can reduce the fighting power to zero, so that number is not an absolute indicator of strength.

Scouters were used by Saiyans, including the Frieza Force, who couldn't feel it.The farmer's combat power measured for the first time in the play is 5, and the combat power of Frieza, the strongest in the universe, before transformation is 53.This showed the reader how strong Frieza was at the time, when both the enemy and the ally were around thousands to tens of thousands.In addition, after the transformation of Frieza, the fighting power could not be measured by the scouter, and after measuring the fighting power of the trunks, the numerical value did not appear in the work.連載終了後に発行された『ドラゴンボール 大全集7巻』によると、フリーザの最終形態の戦闘力は1億2000万、超サイヤ人となった悟空の戦闘力は1億5000万にまで達しているAccording to "Dragon Ball Daizenshu Vol. XNUMX" published after the serialization, the combat power of the final form of Frieza has reached XNUMX million, and the combat power of Goku who became a super Saiyan has reached XNUMX million.^[45]..Subsequent combat power is not mentioned in a special unit in the story, but in the Majin Buu edition, Mage Babidi measures the amount of energy using a unit called "Kiri", according to which. Goku of Super Saiyan 1 is over 3000 Kiri.However, this unit is rarely used in the story.

The battle power and scouter settings were set by Toriyama in response to the fact that Goku and the others became too strong, and Hiroshi Kondo, the second editor in charge, said, "I don't know which one is stronger or stronger." It was triggered by the idea that it might be better^[46].

Demon

Namek AlienOf the Piccolo Great Demon King who was one of the^[47].. The Piccolo Great Demon King, who was born by separating the evil part that God had, calls himself a "demon"^[47].. It is also the warriors with evil hearts that Piccolo Great Demon King spent his life force to produce.^[48].. Do not use the martial arts used by Goku and others, but master the terrifying technique to kill the opponent^[48], The earthlings called the style of the technique they use "the demon style"^[47].. Piccolo has the ability to extend the body and grow enormous by changing the volume of the body due to the characteristics of the demons. The souls of those killed by this race will wander in the air forever, unable to achieve Buddha. However, the reincarnated Piccolo looks different than before, and the soul of Raditz killed by him visits Enma and is sent to hell. Also, the demon attackMuscle cloudAlso has the function of extinguishing. The demons subordinate to Piccolo the Great Demon Lord are born from eggs spawned from the mouth by consuming spells and consuming physical strength. The rejuvenated Piccolo devil lays eggs without spells. With the image of the Great Piccolo Demon King, you can lay your favorite type, and the demons born from eggs have various forms such as a dragon type and an intelligent type that acts as an entourage.^[48].. The demon warriors can telepathically talk to the Piccolo Great Demon King, and when someone is defeated the Great Demon King can detect^[48].

Production background

Story making

After thinking about the story and settings, I thought about the character's personality and took the stance of drawing a picture at the end, and in the latter half of the series, I focused on thinking a story rather than drawing a picture.^[49].. Regarding the story, Toriyama said, "Originally, I wasn't the type who could easily think of it until the previous development. At the beginning, I had no idea that Goku was transformed into a great monkey or an alien called Saiyan. I am impressed by the skillful mix up to the forcible ones. It's not too bad to draw a haphazardly drawing without thinking about the previous story, and it's not bad. At that time, change the story freely. I can do it, and I can be excited and drawn without knowing what will happen to me.''^[41]"When I actually break a frame with a pencil and write a picture or dialogue, I often get a little different from the manga I was thinking about."^[50] Is saying.Regarding Majin Buu, Toriyama said, "I liked the area where Gohan attended Orangestar High School at the beginning, but when I was drawing that area, I enjoyed doing it and said," Now, I have to think about the enemy. I don't know ... I wish I could continue my daily life as it is. "I think I was drawing without knowing that Majin Buu would appear."^[51].

Toriyama said, "I had quite a lot of back settings in my head, but I didn't make them into manga because it seemed like an explanation."^[21]"I also like to create the characteristics of Saiyans and the back setting like a backbone. It is only in my head and there is no opportunity to put it in the development of the story, the rate reflected in the work is not so high, When thinking, when you think about AndroidRed ribbon armyI like to make things that look like nothing in the past. At first I think a little loosely, so I can easily apply the application later. If you make a good development first, the correction will not work when you enter the side road.Ruyi stickI was wondering how to use, but everyone thought, "Is that so!"^[52],18 No.Kuririn, and romance plays such as bloomers and vegetas are already in my mind, but I didn't make them because they were embarrassing.''^[53], And many settings were drawn in my head. Also with the Saiyan that Toriyama drew for the anime original episodeTuful peopleThere are memos and materials such as the history of the world, the setting of that world, the life of the character for one year until the Saiyan attack that was not drawn in the cartoon^[54].

Toriyama said in 2015, ``I always say that, but when talking to people, it seems that it is extra troublesome if it is recorded in particular, somehow, somehow I will dress up and talk so that I do not realize the difficulty, Of course, it's boring. Of course, if it's so troublesome, I can not draw cartoons, and the profession of a cartoonist is not sweet enough to draw somehow.I pretend that there is no such thing, but I am doing my best in the shadows. “I don't do much manga work even now when I'm crazy, but I'm doing my best even for a little sleep. I still can't do a job that makes me happy. Even with a confident attitude, I really drive myself. As I often say, I think I'm really studying forever."^[55]..Regarding the story and settings at that time, Toriyama said, "I don't like work, I should say that I was drawn a lot, and I have little interest in the past and only look ahead. , There are many things I can't remember even with Dragon Ball^[56]I made a remark to that effect."

Involvement in anime

Toriyama answered "I had that feeling" to the question "Did you have the consciousness that the original and the anime were different things?" I thought it would be better to leave it to a professional. "^[21]"Basically, I don't do much in anime. I leave it to you."^[41]"I didn't have any particular request because I was going to let the staff do all of the animation when I made it into an animation, but I felt that I was going too far in a healthy direction for a while, so I was careful only at that time."^[57] He said. In the 2016 book, when I thought about the last of the original just before the final episode, "I thought that it was necessary to talk about "This is really the end", so I advanced the time until 10 years later ... I didn't expect it to come back with anime, so I guess the anime company had a hard time (laughs).^[58]]. Meanwhile, popular anime-original characters such as Goku's father, Barduck and Pai-Kuhan, were born, and Barduck also appeared in the original story in Freeza's reminiscence scene in a way that reflects the setting of the anime.

In "Dragon Ball Z", scenes and episodes unique to anime based on idea memos such as the back setting written by Toriyama are produced.^[59], "Genso" and "Z", the original author Toriyama is basically not involved in the story^[41]Toriyama says "no touch"^[60][61].. Regarding "Dragon Ball GT", Toriyama also gave some advice by checking the initial rough script and story from Toei Animation.^[62][63] The story itself says "no touch"^[64].

Involvement in movies

Toriyama talked about the movie version from "Dragon Ball: The Path to the Strongest", "In my mind, the movie version is a different dimension from the main story of the manga.^[65][66]”, “We worked on checking the plots and screenplays that came up from Toei Video, designing and modifying the characters, and changing the names.^[65]"I was involved in some design modifications, but most of the time I enjoyed it as a viewer.^[66]", and has little to do with the movie version. In ``Dragon Ball Z God and God'' released in 2013, I was deeply involved from the stage of script writing for the first time, and 90% or more of the plots written by Toriyama assuming ``What if the serialization continues?'' Has been adopted^[67]..In addition, Toriyama is the first independent scriptwriter in "Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection" F "" released in 2015.^[68].

Involvement in the game

"Dragon Ball 3 GokudenFrom (1989)Dragon Ball Z Legend of Super SaiyaAccording to Yosuke Tanaka, the producer of the Dragon Ball card RPG series that worked until (1992), Akira Toriyama decided on a technique that was unnamed in the original work at the time, and Toriyama responded to the proposal from the development side. There was such a thing. Toriyama considered these during the series of "Dragon Ball"Weekly Shonen Jump Editorial DepartmentI sent a fax with a picture of the technique and the name together with the manuscript, and the development team who received it sent it to Toei Animation and had the color specified.^[69].

Style

ChineseMysterious novel"Journey to the West] Is the motif, and the main character's name is also the main character of this work.immortal-Son GokuIt is named after.At first, Toriyama wanted to draw "Nishiyuki" in a modern and boys' magazine style, but he said that he decided to ignore it because it was difficult to do, and I want him to think of the same name as Son Goku separately from the monkey Son Goku. Saying^[70].

Successive editor

First generation Kazuhiko Torishima(Kazuhiko Torishima)

Editor in charge of Toriyama's previous work "Dr. Slump", 23 timesTenkaichi BudokaiResponsible until the end.Romantic comedyToriyama, who loves to love Goku and Bloomers in "Dragon Ball", is confused about love comedy^[71].. In the serialization of "Dragon Ball", Torishima dubbed "Future Boy Conan" three episodes at a time and sent it to Toriyama, and the basic system of how to make a story that the encounter between a boy and a girl leads to a big drama is "Dragon Ball" I recall that it may have helped the composition of the first serialization.^[72]..Torishima later, "Dragon Ball" was "Satomi Hakkenden" and "Future Boy Conan』, And describes Toriyama as a" great arranger "established on the accumulation of other writers.^[73]..Also, when Toriyama tried to grow a small Goku, he said, "Wait."^[17]I felt the danger of the serialization most, but it was said that the boss convinced me and there was no protest from readers^[74].. Torishima had decided a big story flow with Toriyama, but he could not tell the story of the next week until the name arrived, and it is important to tell the writer what he felt first from the reader's perspective, and the story is created by the writer. Says that his work and editing is just organizing^[74].. In addition, I am dissatisfied with the production of the animation "Dragon Ball", especially the scene of defeating Piccolo Daimaou, and there is an anecdote that I consulted with Fuji TV and dropped the producer and led to the launch of "Dragon Ball Z".^[75]..Even after I was out of charge, I called Toriyama's house, and when Android 19 and Android 20 appeared, he said, "If you think that an enemy has finally come out, isn't it Jijii and Fat?"Android 17When Android No. 18 came out, he said, "Is this a kid?", Which led to the appearance of the cell.^[76].

Yu Kondo

Responsible from the appearance of Radits to the appearance of complete cells. After gaining track records in Shoujo magazine, he became in charge of Toriyama immediately after transferring to Weekly Shonen Jump. According to Toriyama, he seems to be serious, but he is a hobbyist and he got along.^[74].. With a calm and calm personality, I always tried to give advice to female readers based on my experience in girls' magazines. There was no succession from Torishima because "I like it", and it was decided that the universe would be the stage.Ground raising shop", and Toriyama was amused and led to the birth of Frieza^[46].. Kondo said, "Since I was in charge, the direction was fixed, and I only thought about escalating the fight with story manga."^[76].. When the trunks appearedtime travelRegarding the story, Torishima said, "I could not do that unless Kondo was in charge."^[76]Toriyama often consulted with Kondo^[22].. When Toriyama put out a cell, he was told, "It's ugly. Of course it transforms." When it comes to the second form, "It's like a fool of the next guy, let's make it a complete body soon." "I made the perfect cell a cool character that Mr. Kondo liked," said Toriyama.^[76].. Kondo cites not enlarging enemies as a major premise from Torishima's charge, and if the enemy is ugly and Goku seems to win, it will be in harmony with the schedule, so only the perfect body will be character modeling on Toriyama I said I had an opinion^[46].. Toriyama also repainted all the illustrations of the whole body painted dragon's scales for the cover of the book because it lacked impact as a cover.^[24].. "Nothing at all" is a habit^{[Note 5]}.

Third generation in charge Takeda Fuyuto

In charge from the appearance of the perfect cell to the final episode. ""Monthly Shonen JumpI was immediately in charge of Toriyama, but when I first met Toriyama, I was told, "I'm sorry for that. I'm thinking of ending" DB "soon."^[77].. Takeda, who liked "Dr. Slump", realized that Toriyama was reluctant to continue drawing the second character, and said, "I will end up not drawing what I want to draw properly. I like it at the end. Why don't you draw something and tighten it? "^[77]..Takeda himself did not come up with any ideas, and Toriyama seemed to be relatively free to do it, and there seems to be no particular complaint.also,Mr. SatanBy saying, "This character is good", Satan, who was originally scheduled to end as Choi, will be made to appear after that.^[78].

There is a theory that Torishima is a great piccolo demon, Kondo is Frieza, and Takeda is a model of Majin Buu.^[24]Toriyama himself said, "I don't remember it so much. It may be at the root, but it may have been reflected unconsciously."^[79].
