Akira Toriyama made Gokū grow 3 years older in Dragon Ball chapter 113 by enacting his first timeskip. His editor was opposed to the idea because shōnen characters were supposed to remain eternal boys. But Toriyama threatened to quit and did it anyway.

Yajirobē (ヤジロベー) is named after a Japanese balancing toy from the Edo period (1603–1868). The toy is shaped like a traveler carrying luggage on two ends of a rod. The goal is to balance the toy’s center of gravity on your finger as it wobbles.

Yamcha sees Bulma naked and stammers the gibberish of, “Ga……… Gagi…… Gu… Gegogo…!!!” This is Akira Toriyama playing with the Japanese syllabary, moving one column over in the ‘G’ sounds at a time: Ga (が), Gi (ぎ), Gu (ぐ), Ge (げ), and Go (ご).

Boris Karloff’s appearance in Frankenstein (1931) and The Mummy (1932) inspired Akira Toriyama to create Android 8 and Mirā-kun in Dragon Ball. In 2019 I asked his daughter Sara Karloff about this and she said, “My dad would be very honored by this.”

Dōgi (道着, “clothes of the way”) are the sacred set of clothes or uniform of someone who walks the path of their dō (道, “way”). When a Dragon Ball warrior wears their dōgi to train or fight, they are practicing their budō (武道, “martial way”).

Zenī (ゼニー, symbol: Ƶ) is the currency used by the government in the Dragon World’s earth. Zenī is based on the real-life ancient Japanese term of zeni (銭, “spending cash”) that was inherited from China where it was called qián (錢, “money”).

Dragon Ball features real-life sports cars because Akira Toriyama is an auto enthusiast. From the top left to bottom right: 1965 Triumph TR4A, 1984 Reliant Scimitar SS1, 1984 Toyota MR2, and 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet. Which one do you wish for?

The marks on Krillin’s forehead are called jièbā (戒疤, “ordination scars”). They're inspired by the heads of Chinese Shàolín monks. Each dot represents a vow to venerate the Buddha (enlightened being), Dharma (Buddha Law), and Sangha (Buddhist community).

The Red Ribbon Army Arc of Dragon Ball represents Western culture and environments. It contrasts against the Eastern environments that Goku explored in prior arcs. The naïve Goku serves as the medium between Eastern simplicity and Western complexity.

One of Goku’s catchphrases is ‘Waku-waku suru-zo!!’ (わくわくするぞっ!!, “I’m gettin’ excited!!”). The sound of ‘waku-waku’ is an onomatopoeia for “excitement,” “thrill,” or “nervousness.” Goku says when he’s in a fight that pushes his limits.
