Akira Toriyama has drawn so many characters throughout Dragon Ball that he couldn’t even remember all of them. One of these characters, unfortunately, made his last appearance not in the anime and manga, but in a special story.
Which character is it? Lunch is one of the characters that Akira Toriyama forgot. In the manga, she regularly disappeared during the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament. After that, she only had minor appearances in the Dragon Ball Z anime until she ultimately only appeared in flashbacks and during Son-Goku’s Genkidama in the Boo arc.
Akira Toriyama even retroactively gave her an ending, in which she fell in love with Tenshinhan and lived with him on a farm for a while. Unfortunately, there was no happy ending for the two, and their love story was never seen in the anime and manga.
There was another appearance where Lunch was last seen in Dragon Ball. Unfortunately, this scene does not appear in the regular anime and manga, which is why many fans may not have seen her last adventure.
The anime of Dragon Ball Super stopped in the middle of the story:
Lunch had a last appearance in Dragon Ball
Where did Lunch appear last? Her last appearance in the manga was split between the 3rd and 4th issues of the Weekly Shonen Jump
magazine, which were published in 1991. The story of “Put the Old Year Behind You! Jump Characters Face Off at Short GAG Land” takes place shortly after the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament, during the Freeza saga.
The story is about the holidays and how many characters from Dragon Ball spend them. Bulma is playing on the console and Mutenroshi is sweeping the veranda of his house. Some of the deceased characters are playing hide and seek on Master Kai’s planet.
On the other hand, Lunch is desperately searching for Tenshinhan. There is a picture of her in her “evil” form. She angrily wonders where Tenshinhan could have gone. With the ending that Toriyama later gave her, we know that she probably longs for him out of love.
Why have so few fans seen Lunch’s last appearance? The Weekly Shonen Jump
magazine is only published in Japan. Since the scene was not included in the official manga and the World Wide Web was only made public in 1993, not many have been able to witness Lunch’s last appearance.
Another character that the mangaka Akira Toriyama has forgotten over time is Yajirobi. He was probably the strongest human of all in Dragon Ball at the time but has fallen victim to the mangaka’s memory: The probably strongest human in Dragon Ball has apparently just been forgotten
