Interestingly, the first reference to a Super Saiyan can be traced back to the first chapters of Dragon Ball.

First Super Saiyan reference: Blonde and angry

Akira Toriyama and Toei Animation have hinted at changing hairstyles when a character is angry, since the first part of Dragon Ball.

The first time we saw something similar to a Super Saiyan was the case of Lunch – a girl with the strange trait that after sneezing, her personality changed from a gentle girl to a super angry person. fierce with blonde hair. Do you notice the similarity?

Goku himself talked about the first time he transformed into a Super Saiyan thanks to uncontrolled anger. His biggest difficulty in controlling the transformation is finding balance, not letting anger dominate, like what happened to Broly.

Although not a warrior in the traditional sense, Lunch transforms from a peaceful blue-haired person into an angry blonde character after sneezing. This phenomenon is similar to Goku’s transformation, suggesting that Lunch’s anger and physical changes were an early reference to the Super Saiyan concept.

And what happened to Lunch?

Many fans believe that Lunch disappeared from the story so as not to cause confusion with Super Saiyan. But the truth is that author Toriyama forgot about her. This was revealed in 2003 when he visited New York during the launch of Shonen Jump.

Toriyama said: “To tell you the truth, there was a time when I forgot about Lunch. And then when I remembered I had to think of a reason why she disappeared. So I acted like she was chasing Tenshinhan.” .

In 2013, Toriyama said that Lunch loved Tenshinhan – a farmer. They lived together for a while, but Tenshinhan was not interested in romance and Lunch did not do a good job at it. She then left but still returned there from time to time.
