Debunking Misinformation about the Future of Dragon Ball without its Creator

Im sure it was just that Toriyama would make Goku look like his modern work, slimmer and younger looking, which let's face it, many people didn't like Toriyama's modern style.

The question I have is whether or not DB Daima will be abruptly concluded and rushed since this series was clearly Toriyama's vision and pet project and other people involved in Dragonball may not be as passionate about it holding up the continuation of Super. I hope the Dragon Room and Toyatorou will finish Daima in a way that Toriyama would have directed it rather than cave to what the "critics" want.

[@seandobbins2231]

I think the issue here is defining the continuation of Dragon Ball as "the continuation of Super" since while Super is a continuation, that doesn't mean that Dragon Ball can only continue when Super continues. Daima can be a continuation of Dragon Ball all, in fact it is regardless since it's still part of the Dragon Ball story.

Very thankful for this man.

I am so sad, man. Dragon Ball was a huge part of my childhood. I will be honest, Dragon Ball is not the first anime that I watched. I watched anime like Bakugan and Pokémon back when they were popular. Mainly Pokémon. I also watched things like LBX: Little Battler's Experience, and other animes. However, it was when I actually saw Dragon Ball Z Kai on Nicktoons first when my love for Dragon Ball started. And I have seen some famous KZbinrs talking about Dragon Ball and Toriyama's passing and one guy said that Dragon Ball became the top 3 anime with One Piece and others, but he said that without Dragon Ball there would be no top 3 anime, because Dragon Ball really drew people in and got people invested into anime, and I cannot disagree with that.

I could see Akira Toriyama and Stan Lee as friends or close friends if they were?

[@beerexpert1057]

I know he was a very private dude. Maybe he was not very well for some time. So they went ahead and created the Capsule Corp company so that Toei would not ruin it after his passing? Just my speculation. Man when we got Dragon Ball Super I felt like a kid again. I was stuck in Belgium for a week on a work trip during the peak of TOP. I binged the hell out of Geekdom and Unreal for the whole week and been watching you guys since. I think the future is bright for this series.

First it was Kentaro Miura and Kazuki Takahashi Nami sano and now Akira Toriyama bro

[@kyleholland4776]

Thank you Akira you got me through my truama as a little boy dragon ball and Z helped me survive the abuse and neglet. Without you the world would be a little darker. We all will continue to support your amazing creation and remember what you did for us RIP.

Rest in peace akira toriyama

[@SleepingTroubles]

It's a hard cruel lesson for whoever is involved, if you take too long postponing something important, like writing about the end of Z forward, you might just never be able to do it. We might never know now how the creator really thought things with Ubb, Goten, Trunks and Pan would go

[@rashadavery7742]

IMO it comes down to what Toyotaro wants to do as well, Akira made him his successor for continuing the series, they probably made contingency plans in case of his untimely departure. But even still there is still doubts & concerns of where the future of Dragonball will go. Imo it’s better off being laid to rest, if it doesn’t stay true to Toriyamas idea but we know that’s not gonna happen

[@NorrisFoxx]

I wish we get a sub of Dr. Slump someday. I've always been interested in watching it ever since I discovered it back when DBZ was on Toonami. Weird, as popular as it is in Japan it was never brought over.

RIP Akira Sama, he left us with Dragon Ball, they gotta do it justice. Listen to the fans 💯 Give them what they want 🙏

R.I.P. Akira Toriyama and pray for his family. Fly high

Sadly the higher ups now has full control of the series moving forward and will have the final say of what gets approved regardless if toyotaro and/or iyoku is head of those projects they still have to answer to their bosses

[@Shawnzy1]

They will ruin it like they did with gt

Thanks for your updates and clarifications as always.

I keep forgetting I’ve watched your videos since the days of Resurrection F. I’ll be with ya’ whenever and whatever you decide to do. I’m gonna personally feel this sting for ages to come. I send my regards to everyone involved with making the Dragon Ball Franchise as well as Toriyama-Sensei’s family especially.

[@HenrythePaleoGuy]

Toriyamas legacy is such an immense one that we will always hold in our hearts, minds and souls. Hopefully the series continues well into the future and that Toriyama left a good amount of notes behind for everyone else to follow where possible. :)

He inspired me to evolve my art style but who knows how long it'll be but knowing he's gone there might be dark days for all us down the tunnel but let's hope we see the light at the end of the tunnel
