Basil Town is a fictional location in the world of Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama. The location, somewhere between Ginger Town and Kame House, was featured in Dragon Ball Z Episode 146, written by Aya Matsui. It was unnamed in the original anime, but given the name "Basil Town" in Daizenshuu 7: Dragon Ball Large Encyclopedia,[1] most likely because it is also the location of Basil Airport. Imperfect Cell attacked this area while powering up to fight the other artificial humans but was pushed back by Kuririn, Piccolo, and Tenshinhan.
General Overview
Basil Town's location is unknown, except that Kuririn passed it while taking a "short cut" from Ginger Town to Kame House, and that Cell reached after leaving Nicky Town.[2] In addition to an airport, the town also contains a fancy restaurant (Sam Sam) and other amenities. During Age 767, the location was attacked by Cell as he sought power to confront the other Artificial Humans, killing many of the citizens. Kuririn arrives while he is attacking Basil Airport and successfully holds him off for some time until Piccolo and Tenshinhan arrive and force him to flee. The citizens were likely revived by the dragon balls later in the year.[3]
Locations in Basil Town:
- Sam Sam, a restaurant
- Basil Airport
Name
Basil Town's name is based on the herb, "basil". Daizenshuu 7 likely chose this name for the town as a back-formation from "Basil Airport", the location of Kuririn's and Cell's battle in the episode.
Production
Due to the production schedule inherent in producing a weekly anime series based on a weekly comic, the writers of Dragon Ball Z interjected anime-only material both as a means of extending the runtime and to flesh out the Dragon Ball universe. Nicky Town, Basil Town, and related locations were created to elaborate on Cell's escape from Piccolo in Dragon Ball Chapter 364.
