DBZ has its share of merits & flaws

More people are interested in the latter, as

1. Badmouthing it will help aggrandize their prefered show

2. Ignoring Z's firm acheivement: impacting Shounen demography 30 years back & still being regarded as landmark series would make their fav show/series pale by comparison

True fan embraces both flaws & merits equally. Speaking of which, which aspects you wish DBZ had expanded upon?

I pick character backstories. NOT Mfkin flashbacks RIGHT in da middle of fight, mind you

Fun Fact: DragonBall in general has well-over 250 characters. Which is a shame, as it has shrunk down to only TWO Saiyan characters: Goku & Vegeta in Super

Now, I expect Toriyama to have fleshed-out backstories of

1. Dabura. His reign in Makai World & its principals

2. Majin Boo's primordial origin. Beyond just created by Bibidi

3. Kaioshins. How their ancestors shaped/governed the universe

4. Dr. Gero. His operations in Red Red Army

5. Krillin's life style in Shaolin Temple b4 meeting Goku & Muten Roshi

6. Backstory of Muten Roshi, Tsuru Sennin & Mutaito Sama

See. I can keep going.

So whats your thought?

Piccolo: Just how many people have you sacrificed?!

Cell: Sacrifice? Hmph, rubbish! On the contrary, it is an honor to become a fraction of my power.

History of Freeza's race.

What Babidi did before coming to earth.

What Tien and Chaozu did before we met them.

Gohan and Ox King in training.

I can't actually think of anything I think that should have been expanded on more than it already was.

i hate it when authors write whole 4 chapters (a month) origins for every character in the middle of the story like naruto. i dont care about some fat kid, i want to see the main characters.

for origins, make side-stories and specials. (like History of Trunks or Bardock - The Father of Goku)

Toriyama did write backstories but mostly for the important characters but still it wasnt always extensive.
some information can be seen in the dragon ball manga/anime.
------------------


i say world building (and space). it would be much easier for other writers to expand the universe if they had more canon material to work with.
but now dragon ball super gave us alot of new material to work with so its good.


but actually alot was shown on the world of dragon ball, the series start with the main idea of travel through the land. (most likely china-like). orin-temple probably based on the chinese shaolin monastary.
if it is part of Dr. Slump universe, then the islands of japan exists.

1 and 6 are the only ones interests me. Dabura is a wasted character, there's so much more Toriyama could done with him. Too bad he had to be stepping stone for Buu.

So true. Forget abt Dabura.

Toriyama could've expanded the whole "Majin" race with Babidi travelling across galaxies & stars to use them as tools to ressurect Boo

Gosh...just thoughts about reading such detailed backstory would put DBZ's "story-telling" in a different league

Character backstories, mainly Yamcha. Where did he get those scars, why is he a bandit, and how did he learn to fight?

There's so much about him open for question.

As I'm sure you know by now. Characters like Yamcha & Oolong are carbon copy of rheir Journey to the West counterparts

Oolong = Zhu Bajie. Shape-shifting pork who is perverted

Yamucha = Loose adaptation of Gu Jing. A desert bandit who has a strong weapon, similar to sword/staff. Kinda fighter like Wukong

Toriyama musta based Yamcha on this. But about his side-kick Puar & all. He just provided few exchanges between him & Oolong suggesting both studied on same school as backstory for both

Puar was based off of that cat in Dragon Boy right? Dragon Boy itself was pretty much the prototype for Dragon Ball.

Sorry, gotta apologize my limited knowledge on Dragon Boy.

All I know is Toriyama based his work after Dr.Slump frm JTTW. At least for a good 10-15 chapters until they gathered the 7 DragonBalls & Shenron is summoned

Btw, this Dragon Boy thing. Did it came after DB or Dr.Slump?

Before. It was pretty much the prototype of Dragon Ball. It was only two chapters however. You should check it out sometime, there are definitely some similarities.
