Since 1984, Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball series has been going strong. The series has been entertaining fans for 40 years and counting. Despite not being the first creator of Toriyama-Sensei, it stands tall as his most reputed work. The mangaka was always extremely careful when creating his new characters in the show.

Whether it was about names, characteristics, or abilities, there was always this understanding of balancing each and every one of their characteristics. Hence, it aided in providing more depth and humanizing them in numerous ways.
One of the most intriguing characters in the series is Vegeta. Over the long run of the series, his character is the most worked upon, where once he was showcased as a selfish and arrogant figure. However, gradually but slowly, he transitioned into a family man who’d go to any extent to protect his family and loved ones.

Akira Toriyama was always careful when making his characters in Dragon Ball. Whether it was about practicality, names, or even their abilities; there was always this personal level of understanding that came to each and every one of his characters. It helped in providing depth, seeing them as more than just flat characters, and instead humanized them in many ways.

One of the most interesting characters, Vegeta, has been foundational in many ways not just for Dragon Ball but also with the many ways his character is perhaps the best expanded upon. Even though he is seen as such a complex figure, his one relationship in particular lacked depth in more ways than naught.

Kamehameha or the Turtle Destruction Wave, is what sets the Turtle School students in Dragon Ball apart. While it can drain a massive amount of energy from the body, fighters like Goku or his son Gohan don’t really have an issue in that case.
There’s a whole range of Turtle Destruction Waves including the likes of The Greatest Kamehameha, Bending Kamehameha, True Kamehameha, and more. But this one time when Goku combined his energy attack with his Instant Transmission technique that he learned from Yardrats is truly unique.

If any Dragon Ball character is going to defeat Goku, it’s Grandpa Gohan. Though there won’t be much power involved, there will be emotions. Grandpa Gohan is one of the characters in the series that the fans didn’t get to see much of. Still, there hardly would be any character who had made a significant difference in the series.
Fans love him, and it is evident in the latest conversation they sparked on the internet. Bandai Namco better add him, or the fans are going to be disappointed for sure. And they should give him the mysterious mask too.

Only the sky will be the limit for fans in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero when they’ll get to play a story the way they want to. We already know that the game is getting a separate mode to play episodic battles from different arcs. But it will be more than just nostalgia.
Fans may play out a certain moment accordingly; however, the outcome will still remain the same. But that’s also an affirmation to stay true to the end; as they have witnessed, bad guys will always fall. How? That’s something for them to figure out.

There might still be some anger against Crane Hermit Master Shen. Maybe some still wants to beat the pulp out of Spopovich when he did the same to Videl.

The ominous roster of Dragon Ball villains includes a name that is not only one of the most terrifying villains in Akira Toriyama’s universe but also in the whole of anime and manga industry. This character is called Cell, and he is the main antagonist of the Cell saga. His terrifying personality even scared the Saiyans for a bit.

Cell was created by Dr. Gero’s supercomputer, and he possessed the genetic traits and special abilities of Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Frieza, King Cold, Trunks, etc. Initially, it was believed that Cell was created to bring Dr. Gero’s plan to fruition, but as he developed a mindset of his own, he realized that he could rule the entire world with his terrifying strength.

With the launch of Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero drawing ever closer, we are getting to learn more about what to expect from the title resurrecting the Budokai Tenkaichi series. The universe is one of the most expansive in anime, and a true fighting game would reflect the same with the character roster.
Thankfully, Sparking Zero is doing just this, as we have learned of many characters who will be playable in the game. One can expect the usual suspects to appear: Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta, etc. But there are also some more niche characters on the list, which could hint at more to come!
Reveal of One Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Character Confirms Inclusion of a New Entry Go big or go home in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero!
The 3D environments of the Budokai Tenkaichi games allowed the developers to create fights that, otherwise, would not have had the same impact in the side-to-side format.

Goku has been facing enemies stronger than himself since the inception of Dragon Ball. After mastering the basics, he won the World Martial Arts Tournament, and it felt like an end to Goku’s adventures. But with the advent of Dragon Ball Z, Akira Toriyama introduced a whole new genre of villains.
It was since Dragon Ball Z that Goku faced the most difficult challenges including Frieza, Majin Buu, Cell, and others. In an interview, the mangaka opened up about the escalation of enemies and how they helped boost Goku’s popularity.

The narrative of Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball holds so many different elements and aspects that it is sometimes hard for fans to keep track of everything. The array of characters and their individual storylines is so vast that it sometimes gets confusing for readers and viewers. However, this problem is also faced by the creator of Dragon Ball.
Goku as Super Saiyan 3 | Toei Animation
Toriyama created Dragon Ball for almost forty years before he passed away. In those forty years, he not only created the manga and helped out with the anime series but also contributed to the gaming series and other formats. Thus, it was tough for him to remember every detail. But once this confusion bore fruit in the form of Super Saiyan 3.
Toriyama once confessed to the fact that he accidentally created Super Saiyan 3, thinking that he was creating Super Saiyan 2, which he already did long before in the Cell saga.

Every movie has its own protagonists and antagonists, but even if it seems like an obvious choice who to root for, sometimes it's the villains that make the movie so much more interesting.
One of the villains who have earned the reputation of the ultimate cruel guy is Darth Vader of Star Wars, but there are many more supervillains that deserve attention – especially in sci-fi.
Here are 5 movie villains that are just as bad as Vader – or even badder.
1. Oscar from Colossal (2016)
We'll start with something you'd least expect. Colossal is a 2016 sci-fi comedy starring Anne Hathaway as Gloria, a party girl who discovers that she is some sort of supernatural being who can control a giant monster.
The film also stars Jason Sudeikis as Oscar, her friend-turned-enemy. After one night, he discovers that he has his own robot and gives in to the dark side of his personality. He...

Whether it’s the movements or the environmental destruction, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero takes things up a notch; this is not just a regular Dbz game. While we have seen planetary destruction in video games like Budokai Tenkaichi, Xenoverse 2, Kakarot, and more, the attention to detail in the upcoming Bandai Namco game is simply amazing.
In the series, Ki blasts can destroy a mountain or a planet, depending on the power and the person using it. Attacks like Final Flash, Spirit Bomb, Death Bomb, and more are among those capable of changing the view from serene to severe. Players will get to see all of it in Sparking Zero.
