There’s probably a loose correlation to why Toriyama disliked how Toei portrayed Goku in the anime. 😅 Toriyama (1997): Yes. Fundamentally, Son Goku in "Dragon Ball" isn't fighting for the sake of others, there's a part of him that just wants to fight strong guys. That's why when "Dragon Ball" became an anime, I was always dissatisfied with the parts where they just produced it like a standard "hero of justice" story. It felt like they couldn't quite grasp that slight element of "poison" that hides in the shadows.

Here’s Toriyama’s first one shot manga (1977 Awawa World) 😅

I think the point of Suppaman is that he’s a terrible person. 😅

Suppaman in Dragon Ball 🙏
