I always thought it was kind of wild how Akira toriyama would write something or try to establish rules in his universe and he would just break them almost as if it never existed. Or the would bring something up and you'll never hear from it again. One of my favorite examples of this is how it seemed like he forgot about the evil containment wave for years and randomly brought it back in super was if someone reminded him like "yo remember this we should use that" and Akira went "oooooooooh yeah I FORGOT ABOUT THAT"


Or like when he said he forgot about super Saiyan two because he thought it was super Saiyan 3

After the Piccolo Daimao Arc , he mostly improvised everything , and it still works fine , so i guess he's good at that.
The worst that he forgot was Lunch & the hair color of Trunks...

He said in an interview that he did forgot which color it was , so he made it the same as Bulma.
The crazy thing is that absolutely no one in the staff of the Toei even tried to correct it...

Well I mean he has excuses, he's 67 years old and the franchise is longer than my future. plus he got many other works and not just dragon ball.

Yeah that's what I be wondering that too but maybe they just kinda thought about it and was like "eh maybe he just wanted to change the hair color" and didn't bother really questioning it much

I remember thinking she kinda looked like Bulma when she had the blue hair. She was a great gag character who was always at kamis house and then one day she just wasn't there.

That just show how much he doesn't care anymore about the work he did years ago.
He isn't even really working on Super , he just write an synopsis.

She's present in a few fillers episode/scene of Z.
In the Manga , she disappear after the end of the Piccolo Daimao Arc , and is present in only 1 panel of an extra page during the Frieza Arc.

I've just read the interview that was given in the pamphlet of the Super Hero Movie.
In this one , Toriyama says he didn't repeat the title "Super" on purpose , but because he forgot the title of the series was already "Super" , thus creating a repeat...

Yes , in one of the early fillers of Z.
In the Manga she literally just disappear.

For some of the things he forgot , it sure is a valid excuse , but for other , it sure is exaggerated.
Lunch just disappeared between 2 Chapters , so in only 7 days , he forgot a character.

well, from what I know and I can conclude this, the OG dragon ball was the only one he made with some plan in mind as he was an upstart back then. but after it's success he was told to continue even when he didn't really want to, so he started making shit up lol and then DBZ was born, hence the sudden introduction of aliens and stuff in the series. so yeah, after so many years, continuing the work which was just stuff he thought up randomly in dbz, it's no surprise he didn't remember.
