Jakarta –
Heritage Akira Toriyama It’s truly timeless, detikers. After his departure, which really shocked the anime industry, there are still a number of his works that are still published and broadcast to this day.
Recently, the official site Dragon Ball showing the cover of the 11th volume which appeared almost 40 years ago. More precisely, on February 15 1985, it’s really rare, detikers.
The cover shows a picture of Goku and Oolong rushing to get on one of the vehicles. This image is really rare, guys, because it is one of Akira Toriyama’s valuable archives.
The illustration of Goku and Oolong comes with the following description: “Even though Oolong doesn’t appear much in this part of the story, he definitely makes a big show on the cover of this Dragon Ball volume! The aggressive mech design Oolong and Goku ride in is also pretty cool.”
Fun fact, detikers, the initial design draft of Oolong actually depicted him as a farmer.
Before he was depicted in Chinese communist soldier attire, similar to Napoleon from Animal Farm. In the Dragon Ball universe, there are several characters inspired by classic Chinese stories, from Journey to the West including Goku and Oolong.
While Oolong’s role in the larger story cannot be underestimated, it diminishes as the series progresses. After the events of Battle of Gods, he will always be the first character to use the Dragon Balls.
A glance at the Dragon Ball Manga
For detikers who don’t know, the Dragon Ball manga began serialization in 1984 in the weekly Shonen Jump magazine. The comic was successfully adapted into anime and broadcast in Japan in 1986.
So since then, Dragon Ball has grown rapidly to become the biggest franchise in Japan.
Dragon Ball gave birth to manga sequels, spin-offs, animated films and video games. Dragon Ball has also become one of the best-selling manga of all time and has influenced the younger generation of comic artists.
