Break Wasteland
The Break Wasteland (ブレイク荒野)[1] is the place where Piccolo leaves Gohan to survive alone for six months before they can start training together to prepare for the arrival of the mighty Saiyans Vegeta and Nappa.
Overview
Break Wasteland is a vast wasteland filled with many dangerous animals, including a violent T-Rex who continuously chases Gohan. It is surrounded by an expansive desert, which is said to be a much harsher environment than the wasteland itself. The young boy initially disliked this land, but grew fond of it over time. Gohan even made some friends here, like an injured Apatosaurus (later killed and eaten by the T-Rex) and the old robot C-6 (later destroyed by the collapse of the Nemuria Ruins).
Later, while on Namek, Gohan notes the terrain of the area is very similar to that of Planet Namek and that Piccolo may have been drawn to the landscape by instinct.

Trivia
- In the episode "Dueling Piccolos", it is revealed that Break Wasteland is actually a large deserted island, however, this contradicts the maps of the Dragon Ball world published in the Daizenshuu guide books, as well as the area's appearance in other various licensed material. Given that the episode is filler, it is likely that the idea of the wasteland being on an island was disregarded when creating the map, as its location is never specified in the original manga.
