For years and years, Goku had to face increasingly powerful opponents, without ever giving up. However, he never had to fight this character. Relatively discreet in the manga and the anime, he nevertheless remains the most powerful entity of Dragon: he surpasses them all and it is Toriyama himself who had reigned him cycled years ago.
The entire planet mourns the death of Dragon Ball's dad and pays tribute to him
Friday March 8, many of us woke up to tragic news: the author and artist of the Dragon Ball manga, Akira Toriyama, died a week earlier. Since this terrible revelation, there are several generations who cannot contain their emotions and who have, for the most part, paid tribute to the mangaka by publishing a few words on social networks. For nearly forty years, Akira Toriyama, of which we briefly mentioned the evolution of his careerhelped to stimulate the imagination of its readers and future mangakas – they joined the wave of condolences – and to popularize manga and anime across the entire planet.
For many, Dragon Ball is considered an institution in the world of manga and anime and inevitably, around that, there have been a whole bunch of debates. Over the years, we have been able to get some answers on seemingly trivial subjects but which were important to readers. What is the strongest Saiyan ? What was the most powerful enemy met by Goku and his friends? What is the best movie Dragon Ball ? However, what about the strongest character, period? Aira Toriyama had already provided us with the answer.
The most powerful character in Dragon Ball represents quite a symbol!
We know that Akira Toriyama did not have the same affection for the characters that he was able to create over all these years. Besides, there was even one he didn't like … while readers were fans of it! Anyway, among all the characters he drew, Toriyama made the choice to make one stronger than all the others, and this decision makes sense since it is neither more nor less… than himself ! In the manga and anime, as well as in Dr. Slump before that, it was possible to see appear a robot wearing a gas mask called Toria representation of the mangaka himself, a symbol of his omnipotence as the creator of the work.
However, this power is not only symbolic. In the Daizenshuu encyclopedia, made up of seven volumes (linked to the number of crystal balls in the manga) and an eighth unofficial work, he is presented as the ultimate god of the entire Dragon Ball licensemaking him an even more powerful entity than the Gods of Destruction, Angels and the High Priest, characters who appear in Dragon Ball Super. However, it was not infallible since it is said that Tori could not compete against Kazuhiko Torishima, better known as… Akira Toriyama's editor. Clearly, Dragon Ball's dad was a very facetious person!
