Transformations and fusions everywhere
all fans of dragon ball They know that this beloved franchise is full of transformations and fusions to increase the levels of fighting. Almost all the protagonists, and antagonists, have had their different phases. They have even been forced to combine their powers in order to face their rivals.
Along the dragon ball we’ve seen the arrival of several crowd-favorite fusions, such as Gotenks, Kefla, Gogeta Y Vegeta. The latter are a couple of variations of the mergers of Goku Y Vegeta. Although today we perfectly identify which is which, it seems that a few years ago her sleeve had a period of confusion.
A Dragon Ball manga made a small mistake
The user of Twitter, VegettoEX, made a discovery a few years ago that he shared in a post. the sleeve of dragon ball where it first appears Vegeta has an error. His name is not mentioned on the panels, but in the footer there is a small indication of the next chapter. This text says that the next title will be: Goku is born!
Although this discovery VegettoEX is a few years old, it became popular recently due to the Youtube, Kanzenshuu. A video was uploaded here confirming that manga 503 of dragon ball contains this little bug. The most curious thing is that this was not corrected in some reissues that were released between 2016 and 2017.
As you will surely remember, Vegeta is the fusion of Goku Y Vegeta that arises when they use the potara earrings. For its part, Gogeta is the one they achieve when they do the dance that all fans of dragon ball we know. It is worth noting that the manga with the error was published in 1995. After 27 years, we do not know what could have caused this.
One explanation could be that Gogeta was going to be the name they wanted to give him in the beginning. However, the fact that he is called Vegetto in the manga immediately dragon ball I could question this. A more coherent explanation might be that toriyama could be confused because the first appearance of Gogeta it was very close. This manga came out in January 1995 while the movie where that fusion first appeared premiered in March of the same year.
The merger was not Akira Toriyama’s idea
Since we are talking so much about mergers, you may find it curious that these were not the idea of Akira Toriyama. While he was trying to give his protagonists longer hair, a member of his team had the idea of combining the powers of two characters.
During an interview, toriyama revealed that he was joking with the cartoonist, Masakatzu Katsura about power levels dragon ball. The author said that there was nothing stronger than a Super Saiyan, to which Katsura I answer: ‘So we’re going to have to combine them‘. Evidently the idea was well accepted and implemented.
This interview further supports the theory that there was channel crossover between the manga and the movie’Dragon Ball Z: The Fusion of Goku and Vegeta‘. When asked why he decided to do the fusion with earrings, toriyama he replied that it was because he had already drawn earrings on other characters. He further stated that the fusion dance aspect would already be used by the film. Perhaps at the time she forgot what it was Gogeta and what Vegeta working on both projects.
