Each month, Toyotarō provides a drawing of a Dragon Ball character — as well as an accompanying comment — on the official Japanese Dragon Ball website. Following up on the wealth of characters already drawn, for his September 2020 entry, Toyotarō has contributed a drawing of Bora.

Bora

Upa’s father, who defends the Karin Sanctuary. His aged appearance in volume 42 is so distinguished, I just love it.

Toyotarō references a scene from chapter 515 of the original manga, which showcases several old friends donating energy to the Genki-Dama. One page of this chapter in particular serves as the source for quite a bit of interesting trivia…!
