Is it true that Vegeta was meant to be a one time antagonist that was killed by Krillin?
>>286232590Funny how ended up becoming bigger than GOKU'S BROTHER who was never mentioned again in the official narrative.
>>286232946That's because Toriyama was a hack.He had a number of interesting basic premises, but the end results were always pure garbage. He had a talent for turning good things into trash, whether it was his own work or someone else's, like the original Bardock OVA.
>>286232590Yeah, he also forgot how to draw slurpza.
>>286232590Only in the sense that nothing was meant to happen after Frieza.
>>286233333>FriezaBejita*
>>286233333>check my(freeza's) 5 (FIVE) minutes fuark
>>286232946Probably would've switched Raditz and Vegeta around if he had planned any of it in advance (he didn't).
>>286233071He chose to be a hack as it was just a job to him, he threw whatever together and still made the most iconic manga of all time.To steal a line from Spoderman 2, he was brilliant but lazy.
Why don't they wish back Raditz and Nappa and force them to train and not be evil?
>>286235938They actually could specially because both of them showed to care more about others than Vegeta did. Raditz bothered to try to recruit Goku before fighting to death, Nappa suggested reviving Raditz and breeding with earthlings to replenish the saiyans.Vegeta was the psychopath that refused to produce children stronger than himself and killed off Nappa.In hindsight, Raditz had better long term thinking since he knew their low numbers were a problem even if he was fighting Goku to kill later and planned to kidnap Gohan. Meanwhile Vegeta only decided to rely on numbers once the Ginyu Force was inbound.
>>286232590He was supposed to be killed by Goku, but his unexpected popularity led to Toriyama coming up with Frieza instead.
>>286232946I'm 99% sure the only reason Toriyama made Raditz Goku's brother is because he couldn't think of any other reason why Raditz would care about or even remember Goku.
>>286235863well, can't blame him. he had nothing to prove to anyone after the massive fame and fortune dr slump gave him in japan.also, remember that since dragon ball became jump's heavy hitter, the editors were riding his ass harder than a thong, checking out if he was not taking weird turns in the plot that could "displease the fans"
>>286233267reminder that he forgot about secondary characters more than once.that's why oda says one of his secret weapons to keep one piece consistent, is the actual one piece wiki, so he can go back and check who is who and what is his devil fruit or ability, in order to not fuck up the continuity of the story and the characters.
>>286232946>Funny how ended up becoming bigger than GOKU'S BROTHER who was never mentioned again in the official narrative.I think it's funny how Dragon Ball does non-cliche stuff like having the MC's brother be a footnote who is superseded in the narrative by the megalomaniac classist prince or the MC's father being a low-class cog in the machine that gets erased with a literal finger and literally nobody is alive to remember him anymore in the original run, but people take umbrage with these and think they should get special treatment out of MC nepotism
>>286232946>>286233071>Toriyama is a hack because he doesn't dicksuck Raditz for being someone's brotherItachi Uchiha ruined an entire generation
>>286237496That's not what I'm saying, just that it's weird Goku never once thought of let alone reached out to his own flesh and blood after their first and only encounter. Then again, given how he sees/treats his own wife and sons . . .
>>286238096His only interaction with Raditz was him kidnapping and terrorizing his son, along with him declaring he would destroy the only home Goku's ever known.
>>286238299And Luke Skywalker's only interactions with Darth Vader were him offing the only family he had left, terrorizing his friends and slicing off his hand.
>>286238855And Star Wars isn't Dragon BallToriyama is unironically a great writer in a lot of ways, and killing off Raditz the way he did without forcing him back is one of his greatest moves. FUCK your retarded fanfictions and Itachi wank.
>>286237265I know, I hate everything about modern Bardock
