TheDragon Ballfranchise is one of the largest and most loved anime franchises. The Super Saiyan transformation against Frieza still gives everyone chills. Goku and Vegeta are considered to be iconic characters, and every powerful main character is compared to them. Even after such praise, few aspects of theDragon Ballfranchise are too hard to believe.
One of the most bizarre things thatDragon Ballhas shown the fans is the destruction of the moon. People can hardly fathom how such an event took place. But truth be told, people enjoyed it when it happened. After so many years, fans finally got a scientific reason as to why the moon’s destruction is a bizarre event and how it could affect us.
Destruction Of The Moon Could Be Fatal To The Earth
Kentaro Terada is the Graduate School Professor at Osaka University. TheDragon BallOfficial Siteapproached him to answer how the moon’s destruction would affect us. Kentaro Terada answered,“I think it would be very difficult to destroy the Moon. Let me attempt to explain it using some research into the destruction of asteroids as an example.”

He continued,
“It is theorized that a long time ago, an asteroid that collided with the Earth caused the dinosaurs to go extinct. According to calculations, this happens about once every 100 million years. As it’s been about 66 million years since the last collision, it wouldn’t be surprising if another collision were to happen soon. If that happens again, we’d be in deep trouble.”
The scientist also said that without the moon, there would be no tides. There would be altercations of temperature. Hot places will become cold, like the North Pole, while cold places will become hot, like the Equator. The breaking of the moon will form meteorites, which will fall on Earth and destroy it. The moon has a diameter of 3,400 km. So, even if a 10 km portion of the moon is to fall upon the Earth, it will be the end of all the living species.

How Many Times Have The Moon Been Destroyed InDragon Ball?
The moon has been destroyed twice in theDragon Ballfranchise. The first one happened in theDragon Ballanime when Master Roshi destroyed it. He was forced to destroy it to stop the rampage of Goku. The full moon caused Goku to transform into an Oozaru. He was on a path of destruction. To save everyone and Goku, he destroyed the moon, which stopped the rampage and caused Goku to return to his original form.
The moon was later restored with the help of the dragon balls. But it had to be destroyed again inDragon Ball Zwhen Gohan transformed into an Oozaru and went on a rampage just like his father. It all looks good as long it is an anime. The thought of the moon getting destroyed is too much to handle.
