>99% of mangaka don't storyboard. Hell half of them make their story up on the fly. Dbz had nothing planned out and was made chapter by chapter.

I can't find the interview but I remember Toriyama saying he was thinking about Namek as early as the 23rd Budokai

He had either planned it to end of Frieza or Cell. Editors were pretty down on him during the Android/Cell Saga portion of the manga.

>Originally planned for Androids 19 and 20 to be the villains
>Editor says no because they look silly
>Toriyama then makes 17 and 18
>Editor still says no because no one would teenager villains seriously
>Toriyama makes First Form Cell
>Editor doesn't like how Cell looks
>Toriyama makes Semi Perfect Cell
>Editor wants a more humanoid Cell similar to Freeza
>Perfect Cell is settled upon

Funfact: Originally it was going to be Gogeta the one who will fight Buu but thanks to the Fusion movie Toriyama got cucked and had to create the "Potara fusion " thing.
