Introduction
Daiki Miki, the mind behind the MMO Dragon Ball Online and characters like Towa and Fu has talked about how Akira Toriyama has admitted to forgetting just who the heck the Legendary Super Saiyan Broly is. It wasn’t until the production started on the new film, Dragon Ball Super: Broly, that he was actually reminded who the heck Broly was.
You think such an impactful villain would have been remembered by Toriyama. Mercenary Tao was one of Goku’s earliest iconic foes and was a badass character in his own right. The guy throws a pole and lands on it surfboard style to get from place to place. He also taught Goku’s longtime partner Tenshinhan his fighting technique.
This instance of forgetfulness was seen when Toriyama was interviewed and asked about the mercenary. Funny enough during this interview, One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda remembered how cool Tao was with Toriyama responding with, Now you’re getting to the less important characters.
This technique was used during Dragon Ball and was all but forgotten until Dragon Ball Super where it was used shortly. As we all know, Super is overseen by Toriyama, not written. So chalk this one up to someone else remembering this technique.

Why didn’t trunks and Goten regrow their tails?
According to Toriyama, in a Q & A he did for the North American release of Shonen Jump, Goten and Trunks were born without tails because tails are a genetically recessive trait. (9) Why dont Goten and Trunks have tails?“Kakarotto, Via Internet It seems that tails are a recessive genetic trait.
This doesn’t explain why Bulla didn’t have a tail when she was born, but the trait could have been recessive in her case. While the consensus is Toriyama just forgot to draw them on the kids, there are several in-universe reasons why they don’t appear again after the Saiyan Saga that fans can consider.
Dragon Ball’s Akira Toriyama is rumored to have forgotten to give Trunks and Goten tails, but there are some better in-universe explanations. Dating back to the original Dragon Ball, Saiyans have been feared not only for their strength but also because they transform into giant Great Apes when the moon is full.
With the exception of GT, which many fans don’t consider canon, the tail never makes an appearance again. The Daizenshuu guide series clarifies that a tail will grow back if the Saiyan is in immediate danger, as we saw with Goku in Dragon Ball.
Why doesn’t Bulla have a tail?
This doesn’t explain why Bulla didn’t have a tail when she was born, but the trait could have been recessive in her case. While the consensus is Toriyama just forgot to draw them on the kids, there are several in-universe reasons why they don’t appear again after the Saiyan Saga that fans can consider.
One of the Saiyan’s most defining features, aside from their love of battle, is their prehensile tail, which Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta all had at one point. Unlike Goten and Trunks, who were born off-screen, Bulla was delivered by Whis on-screen and is shown without a tail.
During the Buu Saga, Trunks and Goten were able to reach their Super Saiyan forms at a very young age, so it makes sense that they would not regrow their tails once that had reached that point. This doesn’t explain why Bulla didn’t have a tail when she was born, but the trait could have been recessive in her case.
But the consensus is that the tails were a hindrance to the Saiyan’s growth in power, so maybe it’s better that they’re gone for good. Molly Kishikawa is an American artist living in Japan. Starting with the original broadcast of Sailor Moon on Toonami, she has been an avid anime fan since.
Did Akira Toriyama forget to give trunks and Goten tails?
Daiki Miki, the mind behind the MMO Dragon Ball Online and characters like Towa and Fu has talked about how Akira Toriyama has admitted to forgetting just who the heck the Legendary Super Saiyan Broly is. It wasn’t until the production started on the new film, Dragon Ball Super: Broly, that he was actually reminded who the heck Broly was.
However, there’s one Saiyan trait that seems to elude these two– their monkey-like tails. Despite having half Saiyan, neither Goten nor Trunks have shown signs of growing or ever even having a Saiyan tail. Nor has Bulla, for that matter. This is strange as Gohan, Goku’s other son, is also a Saiyan hybrid and he definitely had a tail.
That problem is the fact that the series creator and writer, Akira Toriyama, finds certain things slipping his mind. Some of those things that slip his mind have had fans going crazy for years, so we decided to list a few of those things for you guys.
Well, this one isn’t as offensive as the past few but it’s still an example of Toriyama’s forgetfulness. Most Dragon Ball fans know that the differences between Super Saiyan 1 and 2 are the slight change in hairs sticking up, and the electric sparks that show up in the aura of Super Saiyan 2.
Does the tail grow back in DBZ?
In Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, it’s explained that when a tail is cut off, there’s an eight percent chance for it to grow back and that it won’t grow back at all if the Saiyan surpasses the power of the Great Ape form without having transformed into it.
Many of the Saiyans in the anime get their tails removed, but on some occasions, they grow back. The Daizenshuu description is that the tail will often suddenly grow back if the Saiyan is in danger; such as when it did during Goku’s match against Giran or for Gohan during the battle against Vegeta.
Vegeta’s tail is cut off by Yajirobe and does not grow back. Though in Dragon Ball GT, it is regrown twice through artificial means. The first time is when Vegeta is under the control of Baby, and it is cut off by Goku.

Do Saiyans tails grow back?
But since the Earth no longer has a moon, nobody’s tails grows back anymore.

But if there is great danger and a moon present, they can grow back to enable transformation and get them out of a tough situation.
However, fighters who reach Super Saiyan like Goku, their tail will not grow back once cut off because it has no longer become their direct source of power. As for why Saiyans have tails in the first place, you can thank a certain Eastern folktale. Dragon Ball was inspired years ago after Akira Toriyama revisited the story Journey to the West.
With the exception of GT, which many fans don’t consider canon, the tail never makes an appearance again. The Daizenshuu guide series clarifies that a tail will grow back if the Saiyan is in immediate danger, as we saw with Goku in Dragon Ball.
He also notes that Saiyans without tails that are stronger than Great Apes is a win-win situation as they can control that power instead of losing control (Oolong is apparently unaware that Vegeta retained conscious control over his Great Ape form and Gohan was capable of partially controlling it when he fought Vegeta in the form).

In Dragon Ball Legends, there are two playable versions of Vegeta where he allows his tail to hang loose. One of these is the Legends Limited Vegeta who can transform into a Great Ape during his Legendary Finish. The movie villain Broly is shown to have a tail, as seen in flashback to his infancy.
If you were wondering about why Vegeta’s or Gohan’s tail did not grow back, then there is an explanation for that too: What happened to Vegeta’s tail after he was defeated on Earth? The tail lets you get tremendous strength instantly by transforming into a great ape, but the risks are equally great– you’ll lose your strength if it’s squeezed.
Why does Gohan have a tail in DBZ?
On Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, why is Gohan born with a tail, but not Trunks or Goten other hand, Gohan; Goku’s boy unearths his hidden capabilities towards Raditz and just about eliminates Raditz.

When Goku was small, he lived with his tail because Son Gohan saw no need to cut it.

From then on, Goku lost his tail when Puar cut it off.
Why dont Goten and trunks have tails?
Obviously half breeds can have a tail like Gohan, but Trunks and Goten didn’t. Chi Chi and Bulma had them removed at birth to prevent an Oozaru crisis. In other words, Akira forgot about them. Basically this.
It may be possible that as soon as Goten and Trunks were born, their tails were cut off right away. (Or, Due to their mother’s genes, they didn’t have tails) Unlike Gohan who most likely took Goku’s genes, had a tail.
Trunks, Goten, Bra, and Pan were all born without tails. All of the fusions have no tails because the people fusing into that being had no tails. Broly has a tail afaik. According to Toriyama half breeds having a tail is unlikely and tailless half breeds are stronger than ones born with tails.
Dragon Ball’s Akira Toriyama is rumored to have forgotten to give Trunks and Goten tails, but there are some better in-universe explanations.
