Summary
Akira Toriyama unexpectedly admitted in an interview that he never liked the character Vegeta, even though he is very popular with fans and plays an important role in the series. Toriyama’s statement supports a long-standing fan theory that he intentionally humiliated Vegeta in the series and prevented him from surpassing Goku. It’s important to note that the interview took place in 1995, before Dragon Ball became incredibly popular, so Toriyama’s opinion of Vegeta may have changed over time.
Dragon ballcreator Akira Toriyama has a surprising perspective on one of the most famous characters in his franchise. It seems obvious that creators would like the main characters in their stories – especially key characters like Goku and Vegeta who power the series. However, as Toriyama revealed, sometimes creators really don’t like their characters, even ones that are extremely popular with fans.
In a 1995 interview published in the Dragon Ball Daizenshuu 2 databook and archived on the Dragon Ball fan site Kanzenshuu, Toriyama pulled back the curtain on a variety of topics related to the creation of Dragon Ball. . In response to a series of questions exploring the story’s thematic shift from the first Journey to the West to the iconic fighting tournament motif, Toriyama was asked which villain he preferred. Without hesitation, Toriyama chose Demon King Piccolo as his favorite villain. Then, without prompting, he continued to say, “As for Vegeta, I don’t like him very much, but he’s extremely useful when he’s around.”
Even though Vegeta played the main role, Toriyama never liked him
The 1995 interview confirms fan theories about Vegeta being constantly humiliated in the series.
Toriyama’s statement about Vegeta is shocking on many levels. While Vegeta started out as a nasty villain, his recovery has served as an example for countless similar storylines in manga and anime. Vegeta’s status has now evolved to the point where he’s part of a healthy dynamic duo with Goku, so it doesn’t seem like he’ll be a character that Toriyama doesn’t like. Toriyama acknowledged Vegeta’s usefulness to the story, which is perhaps a testament to the character’s popularity among fans.
Second, Toriyama’s comments corroborate the long-standing fan theory that he never liked Vegeta. This fan theory is based on Toriyama’s treatment of Vegeta throughout the story. In theory, no matter how much fans want to see Vegeta finally surpass Goku, Toriyama will never allow it. Indeed, fans have pointed out numerous times that Vegeta, after his most recent display of power, was mercilessly beaten by the villain in the series. Unfortunately, this trend continues even in Dragon Ball Super, where Vegeta reaches the impressive peak of his power, but is still defeated by Moro, Zamasu, and Granolah.
However, it should be noted that in 1995 (the year the interview was published), the original Dragon Ball manga series had just ended and the series was still on its way to becoming one of the most popular series in history. It’s possible that in the decades since, Toriyama has had a chance to reassess his appreciation of Vegeta, considering how popular the character was and how much he contributed to its success. of the series. Still, Dragon ball fans believe Toriyama doesn’t like it vegetable was the reason for all the humiliation the Saiyan Prince had to endure would quickly point to this interview as the final proof of their theory.
