Former assistant talks about the secret story of "Arale" and the origin of the motorcycle monster is Akira Toriyama's love of motorcycles

The comics master Akira Toriyama has passed away, but his classic works are still shining in the world and will be passed down forever. Recently, Toriyama's former assistant talked about the secret of "Arale". The motorcycle monster in the work was born out of Toriyama's own love for motorcycles at the time.

Although "Arale" has various absurd characters and settings, it is still a classic masterpiece of the master. Among them, there is a popular character, the Motorcycle Monster, who suffers from a strange disease that will cause death when riding a motorcycle. The origin of this character is very interesting.

Fans who are familiar with the master may know that motorcycles often appear in a large number of illustrations drawn by the master. In fact, Akira Toriyama was crazy about motorcycles at that time. The motorcycle recommended by this assistant to Akira Toriyama made Akira Toriyama want to hug it to sleep every day.

So the inspiration came in "Arale", and this motorcycle kid appeared, which was like a personal reflection of the master at that time.
