The creativity of Akira Toriyama is boundless. When he picks up a pen and focuses, he can steer his narratives in any direction that his fans eagerly anticipate. This is precisely the craftsmanship that sets this Japanese mangaka apart. In this article, we explore Gohan, Trunks, and Goten in a scenario previously unseen in the history of Dragon Ball.
This illustration is sourced from the Toriyama Archive, an official website dedicated to Dragon Ball, which aims to introduce designs that have seldom been published or are difficult to find from this renowned Japanese artist for his most famous works.
New posts typically begin appearing a few weeks after Akira Toriyama’s passing, and they continue to be updated regularly, every 48 hours.
This artwork featuring Gohan, Trunks, and Goten is both creative and unique. The three main characters from the Majin Buu saga in Dragon Ball Z appear on a car from the 1930s, seemingly in pursuit of some gangsters while sporting stylish outfits and holding weapons.
Looking at the image, all three characters do not bear the heroic expressions typically associated with them. However, upon examining the details, we notice the car bears the inscription “Satan City Police,” suggesting that, in this instance, they are part of the law enforcement.
It could also be mentioned that although these Saiyan characters appear to be enforcing justice, they still resemble the characters that Akira Toriyama has portrayed in his unique style.
Description on the official Dragon Ball site regarding this artwork is as follows:
“Released on October 9, 1993. This stunning illustration is part of the DRAGON BALL Power-Up List from 1993, featured in a volume of Weekly Shonen Jump. The highlight of this illustration is a classic police car styled in a retro manner with the lettering ‘Satan City Police’ beside it. Even though the police are in pursuit, Trunks seems to be having a fantastic time!”
