CATDOLL: Cartoonists have a trick to rush their work. Akira Toriyama uses "Dragon Ball" to teach you how to be lazy

Sometimes Japanese comics are really rushed, especially those popular weekly comics. Sometimes cartoonists stay up all night to finish the manuscripts, so no matter how conscientious the cartoonists are, they always try to be lazy at the end to ensure the final submission on time. In fact, the mainstay of Weekly Shonen Jump, Dragon Ball, was also the same. The simpler the drawing, the more helpless it was. Now someone has summarized some of Akira Toriyama's lazy techniques at the time. Let's take a look.

Everyone should remember that in the comics, Wukong often said before the fight: "Fighting in the city will hurt innocent people, let's just go to an open place." So he took the enemy to a barren land and fought, so that the background would become extremely simple. Of course, there is an even simpler way, that is, the enemy directly used a big move to raze everything within a radius of several hundred meters to the ground.

Akira Toriyama's second trick of being lazy is to let the characters transform. The group of Saiyans headed by Goku all have black hair. It's too troublesome to paint them black every time, so he just let them transform into blonde hair! So there are Super Saiyans...

Moreover, some of the characters in the later parts were so lazy that they didn’t even change their hairstyles. They just added some scars and it was like a completely different character. The key is for more important characters like Gohan. Was it because they were too exhausted from rushing to finish the manuscript?

Let's take a look at the enemy. When Frieza first appeared, he was not only wearing a battle suit, but his skin was also very difficult to draw. When he changed into his third form, his whole body became smooth. This made it much easier to draw.

In addition, when it comes to dating, it is even more concise. Wukong: "Let's get married." Chichi: "Okay." All done in one square! Even if Wukong and his friends were a little stupid in this regard, this is really too simple, right? This is probably the most concise proposal in history.
