Nobody knows which Dragon Ball will end. And although there are arcs that have not been so successful and generate a lot of criticism, true fans want to continue watching the adventures of Goku and the Z Fighters. However, for Akira Toriyama there was an end to his plans, which in the end was not finished. giving because they convinced him to continue writing.
The story of Dragon Ball is divided into three parts. First of all there are the original adventures focused on child Goku, the search for the dragon balls and the incredible Martial Arts Tournaments.
In second place is Dragon Ball Z, which is a brutal competition to increase the powers of warriors, reaching levels never imagined.
And in third place is Dragon Ball Super, which is very similar to Z, but with the particularity that they outgrew the Earth and the universe and consequently introduced the existence of powerful deities and multiverses.
Akira Toriyama didn’t have all of this planned. In fact, according to a review Alpha Betathe same Japanese mangaka was close to putting an end to the series and not continuing. What was that closure going to be?
The end of Dragon Ball
The end of Dragon Ball was going to be in the Frieza arc, set on the planet Namek. According to the aforementioned site, Akira Toriyama had no way of finding a better villain than the Emperor of the Universe; something that is demonstrated in Super with his constant returns.
Akira Toriyama wasn’t tired of Dragon Ball at that point. What happened was that he had created a character as powerful and brutal as Frieza, who could not imagine a more dangerous threat at that time. In this way, in his mind it was to put an end to the stories.
However, the success was so great that Toei Animation convinced him to continue and that is how the light bulb went on and he created the stories of the Cell and the Androids arc, and later that of Majin Buu.
