Death may not matter in the grand scheme of Dragon Ball, but it almost always has weight. When a major character died in the original series, Toriyama would always try to present it with some drama. Even characters like Choazu end up with some of the most memorable deaths in the franchise. On the other hand, the core nature of the Dragon Balls ensured that characters can keep coming back after they’re killed.This, of course, also applies to Son Goku, Dragon Ball’s main character. While he doesn’t die as often as some supporting players, the series does use his death for drama often enough across the entire franchise. Goku has died a few times over the course of the original series, but GT, Super, and Online have all featured brand-new deaths for the Monkey King.This death is technically contentious, and Goku doesn’t stay “dead,” but Demon King Piccolo straight up stops Goku’s heart. For all intents and purposes, Goku actually did briefly die. Piccolo killed him and Goku just got lucky. It’s questionable storytelling at best, but the drama is good and this is really the only time Toriyama does such a major fakeout death.
