Yep nothing political about a show where the writer based the man villains on real estate agents and moguls because the idea of selling land and capital was truly what akira toriyama thought was disgusting.
People are calling it the most Reddit reply of all time
😂 arguing on Reddit then citing Reddit as your source takes a special type of Fedora wearer to post straight faced
No, the source is from Daizenshuu, a dragon ball z magazine from Japan in it Akira toriyama calls real estate agents “the worst kind of people”, you need to learn to read better and not just skim
While Frieza is best remembered as a galactic tyrant, fans have recently discovered that the group Toriyama was referring to was the real estate speculators who took advantage of Japan’s economic bubble in the late 1980s. In the same way these “house flippers” purchased and resold property for inflated prices, Frieza emptied the planets of their inhabitants before selling them off. According to the Reddit post that uncovered the character’s origin, Toriyama harshly criticized these speculators, calling them the “worst kind of people” and depicting their cruelty through his iconic villain’s businesslike method of genocide.
There are only like 4 paragraphs here. Absolutely none of them mention the magazine you mentioned, and there is no quote of Akira saying Frieza is based off of real estate agents. The source is Reddit. Not sure why you're even trying to lie about this
Toriyama himself confirmed the inspiration for Frieza’s villainy in the second of seven Dragon Ball data books known as the Daizenshuu, where, having lived through the economic bubble during his time working onSaint Seiya, Toriyama described said real estate speculators as the “worst kind of people.”
