Among all the elements that we have seen throughout Dragon ballone that has always highlighted since the beginning has been, without a doubt, the dragon balls. And while the seven are very special, the most special, without a doubt, is the fourth, which is the one that has Goku since its inception.
This is where many wonder: Why did Akira Toriyama decided to choose the fourth ball for the legendary Super Saiyan? Well, the author gave us the answer a long time ago in an interview and, as expected, it is unexpectedly logical coming from someone like Toriyama.
“There was no particular reason (laughs). I simply thought that if it were the ball of a star or that of seven, it would seem too convenient. The fact that they had stars was also for it to be easy to distinguish one from another,” said Toriyama, who, making use of his best ally, the law of minimal effort, created something gigantic as a result of something that did not even think too much.
-The minimum effort on the part of Akira Toriyama is not something that caught new to fans of Dragon Ballsince, throughout the entire series, the author has left moments or even created planets following the most of the chapters with the minimum, as was the case of the Namek planet, a desert place and where the sun never sets to facilitate the author’s drawing work.
