The crossover is a tool that anime doesn’t usually use in its canon stories. But the fan arts are in charge of making it clear that if they were to be done they would be brutal. One of those who has made the most use of this element is the Chilean illustrator salvamakotoauthor of the marvelous combination between Knights of the Zodiac and Dragon Ball.
His job seems simple: grab one of the Z Fighters and put a Gold Saint armor on him. But the reality is that it is much more than that. Salvamakoto takes the time to unite personalities and draw specific details that highlight the main characteristics of the cloth and the Dragon Ball fighter.
The one with Trunks, Piccolo and Gohan are one of the best he has done, since it hits the spot with the union of the characters with the armor. But the one we bring today rescues an old man who is not so well known to the Dragon Ball world: Tapion.
Who is Tapion in Dragon Ball and what armor of the Knights of the Zodiac does he wear?
Tapion makes his debut, and so far only appearance in canon stories, in the film Dragon Ball Z: Dragon Attack. Since then, he has only been a playable character in video games or a protagonist of Toei Animation’s Dragon Ball Heroes.
That first presentation of this character left a series of questions that have not yet been answered. One of many is that when the movie ended he traveled in Bulma’s time machine and probably caused a new timeline.
It is precisely at this moment that he has a special encounter with the still-child Trunks, to whom he gives his sword and they explain how the son of Vegeta and Bulma ends up being a swordsman, just like that warrior from the future who came to warn us about Androids. .
Salvamakoto rescues him and puts Capricorn’s golden armor on him.
