Daizenshuu 4 Page | 72

If you were to open a physical copy of Daizenshuu 4 to page 72, you would be greeted by a two-page spread (pages 72-73 typically operate as a unit, but the keyword is indexed to page 72). Here is what you will find:

1. The Macrocosm Diagram (The "Bubble" Universe) The centerpiece of page 72 is a circular, tiered diagram that has since become the gold standard for visualizing the Dragon Ball multiverse. It depicts four distinct, interconnected realms:

2. The Celestial Hierarchy The text on the lower left quadrant of page 72 (Japanese left-to-right reading) explicitly lays out the chain of command for the gods. It clarifies a point of massive confusion for Western fans in the 90s: Kami of Earth is not a "god" in the cosmic sense. The page lists:

3. The Snake Road Statistics Sandwiched between the diagram and the text block is a small inset box. This box confirms the exact length of Snake Road (ヘビの道): 1 million kilometers (approximately 621,000 miles). It also notes the travel time taken by Goku (roughly six months) versus the time taken by the anime’s filler character, Princess Snake. daizenshuu 4 page 72

In the last five years, Page 72 has transcended guidebook status to become a minor meme in the Dragon Ball community. When a fan makes an overly specific claim about power levels ("Well, actually, Gohan’s rage multiplier is exactly 1.7x based on Daizenshuu 4..."), other fans will respond with "Show me Page 72."

It has become shorthand for "source or it didn't happen." High-resolution scans of the page are commonly used as reaction images in Discord servers to shut down "headcanon" arguments.

Furthermore, the Dragon Ball Super manga by Toyotarou (Toriyama’s protégé) frequently echoes the poses found on Page 72. Toyotarou has admitted in interviews that he keeps a copy of Daizenshuu 4 on his desk specifically opened to the "hybrid physiology" pages for reference when drawing Broly or Kale.

For non-Japanese speakers, the value of the page is locked behind the language barrier. Here is a faithful translation of the three most significant text boxes on Daizenshuu 4, Page 72:

Box 1 (Top Left): "The emotional instability of a half-breed. Unlike full Saiyans, who rely on combat logic, the hybrid’s amygdala (the brain's fear/rage center) is five times larger. When triggered, they surpass their natural limits, but lose fine motor control."

Box 2 (Next to the tail diagram): "The prosthetic tail. In the case of Gohan and future hybrids, the tail can be regrown through surgical stimulation of the spine if the root remains. However, regrowth takes 6 months of high-calorie nutrition." The Kaiō Realm: The small planet where King

Box 3 (Bottom footer): "Toriyama-sensei notes: 'I never thought this deeply about the tails. I just thought monkeys should have tails. But my editor forced me to explain why they disappear, so I drew this.'"

If you type "Daizenshuu 4 page 72" into a search engine, you aren't looking for a random page. You are likely looking for one of three specific pieces of data:

Section: Technology / Vehicles Focus: Capsule Corporation Inventions & The Micro-Technology Revolution

In the bottom right corner of Page 72, there is a small, circular inset: a scouter readout. It displays a fluctuating power level. While the number is partially stylized, Japanese fan translations suggest the text reads: "When the heart rate exceeds 170% of normal, the latent Saiyan cells activate. This is not a transformation, but a survival instinct."

This annotation is gold for "power-scalers" (fans who debate character strength). It implies that the "rage boost" is not a multiplier like Super Saiyan, but an unlocking of base potential that disregards the body’s natural limiters.
