Hello! I’m KENTA, a Japanese manga enthusiast. Today, I’ll be sharing some lesser-known stories about Dragon Ball, beloved by fans worldwide. We’ll dive deep into secrets and settings of characters that you rarely get to see, bringing you exciting information. Through episodes featuring Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, and more, you’ll surely discover new insights! Let’s dive into the world of Dragon Ball together.
1. Goku’s Age at His First Appearance It’s common knowledge among Dragon Ball fans that Goku was 12 years old when he first appeared. However, many believe he was 14. This confusion arises because Goku mistakenly thought he was 14 at a later point. Initially, he was indeed 12 years old.
2. Dragon Ball’s Time Setting The story of Dragon Ball seems futuristic at first glance due to items like Hoi-Poi Capsules and flying cars. However, the first panel of the first chapter states “Long, long ago.” By the final chapter, it’s suggested that the story catches up to the present day, indicating that the initial setting was “long ago” relative to the modern era.
3. Senzu Bean Harvest Senzu Beans are a rare item, harvested only seven times a year. The large stock of Senzu Beans at Korin Tower is because Korin originally cultivated them for his own food supply.
