Image from Dragon Ball Daima Recap section show characters from the end of the original Dragon Ball series who took part in it's last World tournament grouped together, including Goku, Piccolo, and more.
Although a minor character who rarely even appears in the main story, Goku's Grandpa Son Gohan was written in an incredibly unique way during the original Dragon Ball that could greatly benefit other characters if the same was applied to them. Unfortunately, the franchise has never replicated this type of dynamic again. Ironically, what resonates with me so much about Grandpa Gohan are the moments when he doesn't even appear.
In chapter #8, just the mere sight of Goku's power pole causes Yamcha to inquire about who his grandfather was, just because he was aware of a legend associated with it and its master, Gohan, who, according to Yamcha, was"said to be unrivaled in a host of martial arts disciplines." In addition, Oolong, who was spying on the conversation, says that even someone like him knew who Gohan was, underscoring his legendary status further.
Making Goku More Legendary and Expanding Dragon Ball's Nascent World Goku's Heritage Always Defined Him in Complex Ways Close Of course, these scenarios had so much of an impact, in part, because they helped make Toriyama's world feel larger than life. They implied that there was more to the story than just current-day events because people were still influenced by them, all the while creating the impression that the series would likely explore even further into the past.
Posts2 I find this fascinating for two reasons. The first is that this automatically diminishes Goku's individual accomplishments and abilities, since his power is now defined by another, even though they are connected by blood. This is akin to what later shonen, like Black Clover and My Hero Academia, would do with how their protagonists gained strength.
✕ Remove Ads First-time readers were initially given a plausible reason to explain why Goku was strong , just like Roshi. Then they were later thrown for a loop. For those of us who revisit Dragon Ball, we can appreciate the irony of the moment, since we know the truth. Posts3 In the original Dragon Ball, Goku is remembered each time the Strongest Under the Heavens Tournament is held. But by chapter #195 of Dragon Ball Z during the Cell Games, everyone has forgotten Goku, in part, because the tournament had been canceled for years. However, in chapter #237, the old announcer who commentates on the tournament where Majin Vegeta fights recognizes Goku from the Cell Games, thus allowing the cycle of remembrance to continue.
