Trivia

 * Making the title, 'The Forgotten' plural was done on purpose. However, it's up to the reader to decide on who the forgotten are.
 * The 12 chapter per season in The Forgotten is a reference to the TV series, Dexter, which also spans 12 episodes per season.
 * Amazingly, no main villain is ever killed in a saga in which they are, of course, a main villain. Frieza and Cooler are both killed off screen. Cardinal is never killed. Guva is killed in a saga in which he is not the main villain, and The Benefactor is never killed.
 * The main source of inspiration for this story comes from the Dragon Ball Special, Bardock, The Father of Goku.
