Toyotarou Resurrects Dragon Ball's Most Forgotten Beerus Fight
Toyotarou revives a forgotten Beerus opponent from Dragon Ball Super's early episodes.
Toyotarou, the manga artist behind Dragon Ball Super, has dusted off one of anime's most obscure one-off villains: a Moginaian warrior who appeared for exactly one filler scene in Episode 2 and promptly vanished from the franchise forever.
The character was Beerus's opening opponent in the anime—a distinction the God of Destruction never got in the Battle of Gods movie, where the arc originated. Now Toyotarou has given the forgotten fighter new life through artwork shared on the official Dragon Ball website as part of his "Toyotarou Tries to Draw" series, a project that lets the artist revisit and reimagine moments from the show.
It's a characteristically nerdy move: resurrecting a character so minor that most fans have no memory of them at all. The Moginaian warrior exists in that strange liminal space of anime filler—present enough to be canon, obscure enough that nobody thinks about it. Toyotarou's decision to sketch them suggests either genuine affection for the bit or a wry acknowledgment of how thoroughly the anime buried this fight under everything that came after.
The "Toyotarou Tries to Draw" series has become a window into the artist's process and taste, letting him play with designs and moments that might not get another look otherwise. In this case, it's a small but genuine act of archival—a reminder that even the throwaway fights in a show as massive as Dragon Ball Super had someone behind them, and sometimes that someone remembers.
