The Z-Fighters have changed their roster considerably since the early days of Dragon Ball when the group was called the Dragon Team and Goku's closest companions were Bulma, Oolong, and Yamcha. Of those three, only one remains a Z-Fighter and even then, Yamcha barely counts these days. Every other than, the Official Dragon Ball Site releases rare, and sometimes lost, artwork from Akira Toriyama's collection.
The latest entry of the Toriyama Archives brings back DBZ's original Z-Fighters in a rare piece from 1989. Dragon Ball Z was in the midst of the Saiyan Saga's final battle at the time, and with most of the main cast dead, this would mark one of the last times Goku would be featured with characters like Yamcha, Bulma, and Roshi for a very long time. It's easy to take for granted, but following the Saiyan Saga, Goku doesn't see any of his friends (except Krillin) again until the start of the Cell Saga.
Vegeta is going to unlock new forms, master the greatest techniques known to man, & even defeat his rival by the time Dragon Ball Super 2 ends.
The September 25, 2026 edition of the Toriyama Archives puts the spotlight on artwork Akira Toriyama drew for the Jump Summer Festival featured in Weekly Shonen Jump 1989 No.
