Vegeta Scouter (V.2) JUS

The design of the scouters is similar to a device in Mitsuteru Yokoyama’s 1956 manga Tetsujin 28-go. An antagonist character named Alberto has lost his right eye and wears a metal patch that somewhat resembles the scouter in appearance, and also acts like a tracking and communication device.In an interview, the series creator Akira Toriyama himself wonders how scouters are attached around the ear and says he was always doubtful of it when he was drawing it. It would have to be strong enough to withstand sharp movements and he supposes there is no other way but to stick it on tight with something, saying it is “alien technology”. He eventually says the headset method, like the toy, is the right answer.
