<p>In <em>Dragon Ball</em>, Goku has an &quot;after image&quot; technique, where he moves so fast that he leaves a false image of himself in the air, where actually there is nothing. I've seen this idea also in <em>One Punch Man</em> , where both Speed of Sound Sonic and Saitama do it, and now I've just seen it in <em>Kimetsu no Yaiba</em>, when Tanjiro is fighting a demon, the demon attacks where he's supposed to be, and he was no longer there because he moved so fast and left a fake image of him in his place.</p>
<p>Which anime does the idea of the afterimage comes from? Is it an idea from <em>Dragon Ball</em> or was it done before it?</p>

In *Dragon Ball*, Goku has an "after image" technique, where he moves so fast that he leaves a false image of himself in the air, where actually there is nothing. I've seen this idea also in *One Punch Man* , where both Speed of Sound Sonic and Saitama do it, and now I've just seen it in *Kimetsu no Yaiba*, when Tanjiro is fighting a demon, the demon attacks where he's supposed to be, and he was no longer there because he moved so fast and left a fake image of him in his place.

Which anime does the idea of the afterimage comes from? Is it an idea from *Dragon Ball* or was it done before it?
