Did You Know?
The creator of Dragon Ball, Akira Toriyama, got the idea for the Super Saiyan transformation mostly because he wanted to save time! 🎨⚡️
Back in the late 1980s, Toriyama was drawing the manga by hand every week on a brutal deadline. Inking Goku's signature thick, jet-black hair was taking his assistant forever to color in. To speed up the process, Toriyama decided that when Goku powered up, his hair would turn blonde—which meant in the black-and-white comic, his hair could just be left blank/white!
That simple shortcut ended up creating one of the most iconic power-ups in pop culture history.
