A Full-Coverage Q&#;A With Toriyama!!
Dragon Ball: Adventure Special (18 November )
Is That So?! The Dragon Balls
We asked &#;Tori-sa”, a.k.a. Akira Toriyama-sensei, a ton of questions about Dragon Ball, about himself, and about manga. Frankly, we probably went overboard! Will the secrets of Dragon Ball now be revealed?!
Why does Goku have a tail?
He can&#;t help it. Maybe it&#;s an ancestral throwback.
What are the Dragon Balls made out of?
I picture them as like semi-translucent marble.
Why are there seven Dragon Balls?
It&#;s simply because there are those eight balls in Hakkenden1, and I&#;d hate for it to be exactly the same, so I had there be seven.
Who made the Dragon Balls themselves?
Whoa! Now that you mention it, I thought up something really cool. Who made them, I wonder? It would have to have been God, I guess.
Does the name &#;Bulma&#; come from Blue Mountain? Or is it from the bloomers that girls wear?
It&#;s from the bloomers girls wear.
Why did Bulma cut her hair?
That was to show that three years had passed, and also because I like girls with short hair.
Why doesn&#;t Kuririn have a nose?
Hmm&#; (long silence). Kuririn has a physical idiosyncrasy that allows him to breathe through his skin.

But, thanks to his getting taller, I came to be able to draw illustrations such as him sitting astride a motorbike.
Nowhere in the interview are the next questions about Buu featured. He is not mentioned a
