Dragon Ball is one of the anime – manga brands that deserves to be king, having dominated the comic industry for 35 years. Especially when returning strongly with the movie Dragon Ball Z: Kami no Kami (Vietnamese title “Dragon Ball: Battle of the Gods”) in 2013, this brand has had increasingly strong changes. stronger than before, more expansive than before, more resonant than before.

However, because the Dragon Ball universe is so vast, we may accidentally “forget” some interesting information, even if that information is hidden until it is revealed. So, let’s learn about some interesting things you may not know about Dragon Ball.

1. How old is Vegeta ?

Vegeta’s official birth year is 732. With the year 780 at the end of Dragon Ball Super season 1, Vegeta’s current age is 48. However, in reality, Vegeta’s age is even older than that, because he went into the Time Gym 5 times. So, in theory, Vegeta’s age after the Tournament of Power should be at least 53, not counting the time he spent in the gym for 1 or 3 days. Basically, Vegeta could be around 56 years old in reality, and no matter what, he still looks… younger than his wife.

Compared to other characters, Vegeta was born in the same year as Lunch, 1 year before Yamcha and Bulma (year 733), 5 years before Goku (year 737).

2. Vegeta looks a lot like the first Super Saiyan god

Yamoshi’s soul appears during the ritual that turns Goku into a Super Saiyan God.

Yamoshi – the first Super Saiyan God in the universe, is not really explored or mentioned much in Dragon Ball Super. In fact, the appearance of this character was very brief, in just a single moment and rather… just to set the stage for Goku to become a Super Saiyan God to fight Beerus.

Yamoshi’s Super Saiyan God form, looks quite similar to Vegeta.

What is the problem here? That is the appearance of this legendary Super Saiyan God… looks quite similar to Vegeta, both in his normal form and in his Super Saiyan state. Could this hero be Vegeta’s ancestor? If that’s true, this would be very interesting indeed.

3. Real names of numbers 17 and 18

Lapis and Lazuli as children.

Of course, those aren’t their real names. When they were young, this pair of twin sisters named Lapis (17) and Lazuli (18) were known as notorious criminals, until they were accidentally captured by Dr. Gero met. He then kidnapped them and reengineered them into Androids 17 and 18.

The names of these two sisters, when put together, will be “Lapis Lazuli”. This is the name of a gemstone called lapis lazuli, blue in color, highly prized since ancient times and known as the “stone of the Royal Family”.

Rough lapis lazuli.

However, until now we still do not know why they… still use numbers instead of real names. Is it because they have been called by their numbers so many times that… these two sisters decided to use them as their names?

4. The physical nature of numbers 17 and 18

Although they are considered “biological robots”, unlike the full-body transplant he did with himself, 17 and 18’s bodies have been reconstructed at the cellular level using technology. biology and genetic engineering – to become true superheroes. The mechanical parts in their bodies are almost… not many and have almost no negative physiological effects, such as self-destruct devices in their bodies (currently eliminated). cancel).

Therefore, their strength is extremely great compared to ordinary people. In the beginning, their power completely surpassed Vegeta Super Saiyan and Piccolo after fusing with Kami; slow aging rate; just water instead of food. That is the reason why they can be absorbed by Cell, give birth to children, as well as increase their strength by training.

Number 17 is absorbed by Cell.

The most notable feature of their bodies is the small energy reactor permanently internalized within their bodies, which is what provides them with endless energy and stamina. Therefore, their body in a battle is the most versatile weapon, suitable for a long battle and capable of continuous attack.

5. Goku… was always killed by a person with blue skin

Even though he is the main character, it doesn’t mean Goku has never been killed. It’s okay, we have the dragon ball. However, the interesting thing here is not because Goku was killed twice, but both times by… a character with blue skin.

Goku’s first death was due to Piccolo in Dragon Ball Z, when he sacrificed himself to Makankosappo to defeat his brother, Raditz, and reclaim Gohan. The second and most remembered death was when he teleported Cell – on the verge of self-explosion – to King Kai’s planet so he wouldn’t destroy Earth.

To be continued.
