In search of a long-lost lake, Sheriff Rao and his companions face dragons, bandits, and the deadliest foe of all - the Kings Army itself. A few minor differences show that the two characters are not the same, but it's very likely that Beelzebub's father takes some inspiration from Dragon Ball's own King of Demons. In the far future, war has ravaged the entire Earth, leaving only a barren wasteland called Sand Land where the supply of water is controlled by a greedy king. RELATED: Best Games For Dragon Ball Fans That Art Not Part Of The FranchiseĮven though Beelzebub's father Satan, or Lucifer as he's called in the Western publications of Sand Land, is only shown on one page, fans of the Dragon Ball series might think that he looks a lot like Dabura from Dragon Ball. Sand Land seems to take at least a little inspiration from his Pink series, as both worlds suffer from a long-term drought and have main characters who steal water from a corrupt organization. Pink is about a young girl who is a bandit that steals water from an organization called the Silver Company. One of the series that Toriyama created in between two of his most popular series, Dr.Slump and Dragon Ball was Pink. He had established himself as a talented and popular manga artist well before Sand Land was created in 2000. Sand Land is far from being one of Toriyama's first works.
