Every author tends to emphasize some elements in his works, more or less indirectly, which then become a trademark. Not even Akira Toriyama, the father of Dragon Ball Z he is an exception to this rule, so much so that there are several constants throughout his masterpiece.

One of the most well-known constants within the franchise, which has sparked many hypotheses about it, is the theory about Vegeta's arm that the prince suffered permanent damage in the past exacerbated by #18 football. Of course, there is no information confirming this thesis, let alone Akira Toriyama and TOEI Animation have proposed a typology of iconic damage to the imagination over time.

We're talking about them Damage to left arm. If a limb is damaged in combat, it's usually the left one. As you can see for yourself from the summary image at the bottom of the message, each character has received progressively greater damage to the limb in question. So it's a seemingly insignificant detail, but it underlines exactly that constant that often has an effect within Dragon Ball.

And you, but did you remember this bizarre detail? As usual, please let us know by leaving a comment in the appropriate box below.
