FORESHADOWING OR A MISTAKE? LUFFY FINAL BOUNTY REVEALED!?

Monkey D. Luffy is a Captain of the Mugiwara Pirates and a member of the Worst Generation. Out of the 11 Supernovas.  Luffy has grown to be an extraordinary pirate, and he continues to grow at a frightening rate. A bounty is in itself an agreement to the public at large. The government is issuing a call to the people to help in the capture and concluding execution of someone considered outside the law. It is them asking for help in exchange for Money as a reward. The point of a bounty is to lure bounty hunters to the hope of money. The higher the bounty, the more likely a well-known bounty hunter will respond to the call. When a prize is raised, it is the acceptance of the government that they are not able to deal quietly with the problem at hand, and are asking for help from bounty hunters. The highest bounty showed in One Piece 1. Charlotte Katakuri – 1,057,000,000 2. Jack “The Drought” – 1,000,000,000 In the One Piece episode 812, the release featured something strange

AKIRA TORIYAMA REVEALS WHY HE CREATED SUPER SAIYAN FORM


From Dragon Ball Z to Dragon Ball Super, one of the most ancient and still seen transformations that can be achieved by Saiyans is the Super Saiyan transformation. The transformation is one of the weakest transformation these days, but back in the day of unending filler episodes and unnecessary zoo-ins, Super Saiyan transformation is the form so mythical that Goku almost lost his voice screaming while transforming.



But the transformation is not the only thing that makes it cool for our young mind. It was the golden aura and the golden locks that make the Super Saiyan transformation the pioneer of all future transformation in the Dragon Ball series. Goku’s hair transforming from black to gold is something that seem to be the catalyst of the perception of a very powerful power-up. And it is not only that, the spiky hair makes a sharp emphasis on power. But in all the color that exists in the world, why did Akira Toriyama decided to introduce Super Saiyan Transformation and use blonde/gold as the Super Saiyan color?



Some theories about this topic involve theories about the Aryan culture and how Akira Toriyama uses the Super Saiyan transformation as a symbolism that gold or blonde hair color is a sign of supremacy. Of course, these things are not really true because the Dragon Ball Super is so diverse that a chewing gum was once the most powerful threat to Earth’s safety.


The thing about the Dragon Ball series is that it seems to be made for the purpose of easy viewing. Though DB, DBZ, DBS, and DBGT are easy to watch, it was never easy to produce the material it has, especially in the manga. Goku’s hair is something that can be done easily in the anime, but not in the manga. You need to make that ink work and make sure that Goku’s hair is black.



Akira Toriyama noticed that his assistants back then were suffering to make Goku’s hair. It was not only tedious, but it took a lot of time to ink Goku’s hair. To make things easier, Toriyama decided to use a light color for the hair, and SSJ transformation became gold. It was never a big deal in the anime, but it made work easier in the manga.


How? Super Saiyan transformations doesn’t need to be inked because they represent it on the manga without color. It doesn’t only look good in the anime, but it is also easier to draw in the manga. That is a win-win situation for Akira Toriyama and his crew. It was never expected to be iconic, but good things come unexpectedly.


Thats all from me.
