Thanks to Dragon Ball Super's animation staff, fans got to experience female Saiyans.

Akira Toriyama's Favorite Dragon Ball Character (It's Not Goku)

Akira Toriyama is the creator of the Dragon Ball series. His decisions regarding characters and their designs often paid off. Goku and Vegeta turned out to be one of the greatest protagonists ever. Even though he is the creator of the franchise, there are times when his associates have better ideas than him. Being a great soul, he listens to them and decides on his magnum opus.

A similar event happened in Dragon Ball Super. Toriyama sensei designed some of the popular characters in Tournament of Power. The idea for the royal rumble setup was also his. But it was his anime staff that created two separate characters in that arc. After watching them, the late mangaka thanked them for bringing great characters to the table.

The Tournament of Power was one of the most anticipated arcs in the Dragon Ball franchise. The greatest warriors from all twelve universes would enter the royal rumble. It was a great arc, considering fans got to experience Son Goku's latest transformation, Ultra Instinct. Apart from that, there were also strong warriors like Jiren, Toppo, Caulifla, etc. From the beginning, Akira Toriyama designed Jiren, Toppo, and Dyspo.
