Dragon Ball: Goku in front of two representations of Yamoshi, the original Super Saiyan.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The story of Dragon Ball's first Super Saiyan isn't particularly well known, but it's an exciting one that would make excellent fodder for a Dragon Ball spinoff/prequel series. While explained somewhat in the series proper, Akira Toriyama once revealed the short version of the tale in an interview, showing that he'd given some thought to how Super Saiyan first manifested.
The short version of the story is pretty compelling as is, but the idea is fertile ground for a spinoff, if Dragon Ball wanted to do such a thing. Yamoshi's story doesn't end when he dies, however. In the interview from Saikyo Jump, translated by Kanzenshuu, Toriyama states that Yamoshi's spirit began to wander the universe after his defeat, beginning the legend of the Super Saiyan God. He searched for six righteous Saiyans, like he and his comrades, who could channel their power together and create the Super Saiyan God, which eventually turned out to be Goku and friends.
A Dragon Ball spinoff starring the original Super Saiyan Yamoshi certainly has the opportunity to be pretty interesting, revealing some details which were glossed over in the brief telling of his story that various characters and Toriyama himself have relayed. It would offer the opportunity to deepen Dragon Ball's lore, and could be just as beloved as specials focusing on Goku's father Bardock, if given the chance.
