This simply subverts the fans' perception that Akira Toriyama originally designed Frieza to resemble Doria

Dragon Ball has been serialized since 1984 and has been around for more than thirty years, and this decade-long comic has accompanied generations through a boring and wonderful childhood. Although many people have watched the original "Dragon Ball", they know very little about the creative story behind it. Below, take you to see the initial design scheme of many characters in Dragon Ball, you must not think that behind the creation has experienced so many processes!

1. Two design schemes that Frieza abandoned

The first is Frieza, which we can see through the design draft of Akira Toriyama in the "Dragon Ball Super History Collection" that Akira Toriyama once designed a shape like a big mother for Frieza. It's actually a bit like Doria.

Frieza in this shape was fatter, and the stripes on her body were basically no different from those of now, but her head was swollen and green tendons could be seen. That part is now just a shell decoration, but the design at that time should be part of the body. Frieza's aura is completely different, there is no sense of a big boss at all, and even a little kind!

Then there is a close to the current Frieza's shape, the physique is basically the same, this shape of Frieza is decent, very similar to a child, in addition to the color and the stripes on the face are different, there are some differences in the eyes, the killing is more than the current foot, but and Akira Toriyama wants to create, polite Frieza is a little different. In Akira Toriyama's design, this Frieza is still a bit funny and a bit cute. Perhaps there is still a gap with his own creative philosophy, so Akira Toriyama has further updated a new version of Frieza, which is the kind we see in the manga.

2. Bart of the Keene Special Forces, who is even more handsome than he is now

This is Bart, a member of Keinu's Special Forces, who has very little role, but has said the most draggy words - my speed is the first in the universe, and the other lines are not remembered. The Bart in this design is not the same as in the comic, one ear, the Bart in the comic is the kind of square circle of Frieza, and in this design plan, Bart brings up a headphone-like device, and there are antennas on both sides, which is much more handsome than the one chosen, and looks more balanced. The other is the eye, bart in the comics has no pupils, and in this design Bart has pupils. So why didn't Akira Toriyama choose this option? I think it may be because this painting is a bit troublesome, especially the ears, Frieza's model is too convenient, this painting will be more troublesome.

3. Goku's Saiyan Superman suit, initially like an armored warrior

At the time of buu chapter, the Saiyan superman costume created by Bulma Ti Wu Rice also had many design schemes. From the above picture, it can be inferred that the original Superman suit also intended to use the style of Goku's martial arts suit, again, all with sunglasses, but this kind of clothing appeared too often in Dragon Ball, and there was nothing special in creation. Later there was the one like armor.

As shown in the image above, this effect was followed by the refinement of Akira Toriyama's scrap. The eyes on the helmet are a bit of a Robocop style, and the costumes are stiffer, unlike the kind we see in the comics made of cloth. This costume really decorates Goku like an armor warrior, and the upper body is very strong. I think it's cool, no worse than the one selected in the comics.

4。 High school goku rice, polite and polite

Goku in high school didn't start out like the one we see in the manga now. At first, he also designed a duck-tongue hat for Gohan, and he brought glasses with him in high school.

After refining one of them, the high school Goku looks like this, this hairstyle is a bit like Dragon Ball Super Goku, but the Hair of Goku in Dragon Ball Super is not that long. This dress should follow the Tranx's kind, very trendy. But if you use it as a school uniform, even Akira Toriyama doesn't think it's appropriate. Therefore, in the manga, the high school Goku we see is wearing a high school uniform.

In addition to the above shapes, Goku has many more, Goku's shape is the most in Dragon Ball, more than Goku, who let Toriyama Akira plan to make Goku the protagonist! Gradually, under the choice of one plan after another, there was the shape we see in the comics now. In fact, I need a lot of creative inspiration during this period!

5. Super Saiyan 3, actually grew a tail

Goku's Super Saiyan III style also had a different design at the beginning, the hair is not the super long in the manga, it has been pounded down to the waist, but the extended version of Super Saiyan 2, only a little longer! The glasses are currently selected without eyebrows. Among them, Akira Toriyama also thought about recreating the tail of the Saiyan when he became Super Saiyan III! But the idea was abandoned, but we revisited this interesting scheme in Dragon Ball GT.

After refining, coloring, and rendering the original Super Saiyan 2, it is the feeling of the above picture. It doesn't seem to be as domineering as it is now!

summary

Although the above 5 detailed plans are not selected in the manga, they can more or less enrich the story of Dragon Ball, at least let us understand that Akira Toriyama is still very careful behind some of the creations. Drawing comics is like this, the character's image, plot, etc. are not stereotyped at the beginning, but have been modified many times, and then modified to have the appearance of the serial. There are many more stories behind Dragon Ball, if you want to know more, you can go to see the interview about Dragon Ball and Akira Toriyama, you will definitely have a lot to gain.
