Dragon Ball Z: Whatever Happened to Saiyans’ Tails?

Character design is one of the most important aspects of any franchise. Making characters that are immediately recognizable without making them over-designed monstrosities is a lot more difficult than it would seem on its face. Also, making characters that stand out is important, as anyone browsing for fan art in the mid-2010s could point out, as the rash of blue-eyed blond characters made it so that it was hard to tell if you were looking at Steve Rogers or Erwin Smith depending on the day. A lot that goes into creating characters that create a splash in the cultural zeitgeist.Dragon Ball is one of the most iconic anime ever, and it’s got characters to match. Goku is almost as internationally recognizable as Mickey Mouse since the franchise first came onto the scene. While he has had a few changes over the years, there have been a lot of things that have remained the same. Goku’s hair and penchant for the color orange have remained relatively consistent. One of the biggest changes he’s gone through is the loss of his tail. The other Saiyans, too, seem to have been stripped of their tails entirely. But where did they go?Raditz’s introduction was the thing that shifted the idea of tails away from being a special quirk of Goku’s to being a special quirk of his species: The Saiyans. All Saiyans are born with tails, and these tails are required for a transformation into the Ōzaru. The tail contains organs that respond to the energy during a full moon, causing the biochemical response that makes the transformation happen. The tail is also shown to be a weak point for Saiyans that haven’t trained their tails — a process that has not been fully expounded upon — and grabbing their tail will cause a debilitating amount of pain. Vegeta uses a technique to recreate the moon’s rays to trigger his own transformation during the Saiyan Saga and the transformation ends when Yajirobe cuts his tail off. He immediately shrunk back to his base form. In Dragon Ball Super: Broly, it is mentioned that Paragus needed to remove Broly’s tail because he was simply too hard to control in that form.
