Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn is often considered one of the best non-canon Dbz films. The film captivated the audience with its thrilling action sequences, with a gripping narrative that followed the epic fusion of Goku and Vegeta, the two iconic characters from the series, creating one of the strongest and coolest characters, Gogeta.

While the Shonen series is renowned for featuring jaw-dropping villains such as Frieza, Cooler, Cell, Majin Buu, and many more, there’s perhaps none more sinister than Janemba. The non-canonical film showcased the character as the physical embodiment of pure evil, who unleashed chaos in Earth and Hell, giving a tough time to our protagonists.
The character was so perfect that he got Toriyama-Sensei’s praise, as he was not the brain behind the design of the character.

Akira Toriyama’s Goku is undoubtedly the most famous anime character ever. The character is the most unique protagonist as the character has dedicated his life to constantly breaking past his limits and coming out with a new transformation when all hope seems to be lost. While power is one of the defining traits of the hero, his pure acts of kindness, selflessness, and dedication, make him different and have helped him remain on top of the popularity list for several decades.

While Kakarot is known for his character, his most iconic trait is how Toriyama-Sensei featured transformations as a key part of the series, adding the next steps in Saiyan’s journey. While Ssj forms were Kakrot’s iconic trait, the mangaka was tired of making him look too macho. As a result, he decided to give him a new form sick of making our hero too manly.

Akira Toriyama revolutionized anime in 1991 when he introduced the Super Saiyan transformation in his magnum opus, Dragon Ball. Every fan of the series knows about this iconic transformation and when Goku first transformed into SSJ1 during episode 95 of Dbz in the Namek Saga, where he fought an epic battle against Frieza.
Kakarot’s power dramatically increased in this transformation, and so did his looks, as his hair turned from black to blond and had a golden aura around him.
Goku vs. Gohan in Dbs
Every time, when the manga artist features Goku or Vegeta in this iconic form, fans get excited, as the scene gets electrifying, making them jump off the couch with excitement.
However, it looks like the Toriyama-Sensei had taken one Super Saiyan secret to the grave, as a theory looms about how there are possibly three different Super Saiyan paths in the series.
