Toriyama was a passive guy who based Gohan on his own personality.

He had an abusive father who he based Vegeta on.

Gohan was intended to take Goku's place but the fans had an outlash so Goku remained the lead.
The fan backlash has always been a widespread myth. Toriyama said he wanted to make Gohan the hero but decided his character just wasn't suited for it. Gohan was at the very top of the fan polls, even ABOVE Goku after the Cell saga ended.

Nope.



The fan favorite was actually Vegeta.

Second place was Future Trunks.

As far as Gohan goes I'm quoting Toriyama himself. He was supposed to replace Goku during the Cell Saga, Toriyama faced outlash, abandoned the idea, and made him a p*ssy.

Nah, that's rumors (at least partially). It's true that he planned to have Gohan be the main character after the Cell Saga, but he didn't change his mind because of fans.

He basically said he changed his mind because he realized Gohan didn't make a good protagonist. Hard to have a main character in an action Shonen that never wants to fight anybody :manny:


Edit: Translations | Daizenshuu 2 - Akira Toriyama Super Interview

And then the Cell arc ended. Did you think that everyone felt you would put Gohan into the leading role?

I intended to put Gohan into the leading role. It didn’t work out. I felt that compared to Goku, he was ultimately not suited for the part.

No, you're not. This is what Toriyama said:

Interviewer: And then the Cell arc ended. Did you think that everyone felt you would put Gohan into the leading role?

Akira Toriyama: I intended to put Gohan into the leading role. It didn’t work out. I felt that compared to Goku, he was ultimately not suited for the part.

Toriyama never said shyt about the fans influencing him...in fact he actually preferred to do the opposite of what the fans wanted.

You're also wrong about the fan poll. In Weekly SHonen Jump Issue 12 of 1993, the fan poll rankings were Gohan, Goku, Trunks, Vegeta and Piccolo

Don't question me about Dragon Ball shyt. Y'all believe too many fan myths.

I stand corrected.

You may be taking yourself a little too serious.

Dio easily takes the crown. This boy hate is everlasting. Even as a child he was a hater to JoJo and his entire bloodline before grabbing the stone mask and turning into pure evil.

"So this is the brat I must usurp. He wears his heart on his sleeve and is quick to anger....This pampered fool is nothing for the likes of Dio Brando!"

"I'll defeat this boy in his own home. He'll understand that his place in this world is under my heel."

William Zepelli: "Tell me to undo your injuries, how many innocent lives did you consume?"

Dio: "I don't know. How many loaves of bread have you eaten in your lifetime?"
:mjlol:

"Human ability is extremely limited and finite. Your Hamon training avails you nothing. It's USELESS, USELESS, USELESS, UUUSSSEELLLESSS!! A MERE MONKEY COULD NEVER DEFEAT A LION!!!"

"You thought your first would be Jojo but it was I DIO!!!

^This is the coldest one IMO. If you know you know :ohhh::russ::mjlol:
"Oh? You're approaching me?" "The Joestars were mere dogshyt on my way to destiny" :hhh:
