Debunking Misinformation about the Future of Dragon Ball without its Creator

The afterlife welcomes you Akira Toriyama.

[@Robinx1985]

I can imagine Toriyama left behind an updated will, and as far as Dragonball is concerned, I'm sure he wants it to be continued to where Toyotaro may have to continue writing the story of the super Manga with a bunch of writing editors to help out.

[@Xnaut314]

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.

[@nora-yc6fi]

I would rather it be aired as is regardless of completion, I wanna see his final vision in it's purest state untainted by others That said we all know that'd never happen, to corporate of a world for that to ever happen when a profit could be made.

[@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.

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.

5:37 We already know what's gonna happen either he did or he didn't have those notes and/or he passed on the timeline. The full timelime to Toyotaru I don't know if he trusted him that much. But the only way that we'll ever see the end after z is if he told Toyotaru what the entire plan was. My guess is that there's a timeline Akira was following. Japanese folks seem to be very secretive but very organized. Maybe just like how the manga continued after super. The manga was behind the show, So that means the studios are following different scripts not just The manga Art

It still hurts and will always hurt. R.I.P the greatest Legend! My life wouldn't be whst it is today without your influences.

I don’t know how I feel about watching new dragon ball stuff without the goat …. I hope they don’t ruin it or milk it… if akira was heavily involved in daima even if I don’t like the concept of the daima turning into kids I will now watch it as a tribute to the legend :/ I’m also watching og dragon ball all the way to super and gt including all movies :/ ….

[@jasonenglish3713]

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

[@wiezel16204]

capsulecorp and toyotaro will do what is necessary. toyo should do the manga by him self. hes earned it at this point of time. the schoolar should become the master.

[@scottyboyo6236]

we're all gonna miss him dearly, lets hope Toriyama's soul watches over dragon ball's future

[@connergaskell1909]

Hope his family are well and hope Toyotarou ready to take the reigns

[@PokeHokage]

I actually hope they just finish Daima and Super and then let the series rest out of respect for Toriyama. Its not dragon ball without him.

[@papaadot9369]

I actually agree

[@ssjgotenks2009]

[@baddworld]

I think we’re getting DBAF for real now, or something similar, Toriyama didn’t trust Toyotaro for no reason, we will definitely get the rest of what our OG oversaw, and then maybe Toyotaro will officially be the writer & artist going forward and im actually excited to see !! Much love to the goat 😢🙏🏾❤️ brought so many of us together ❤️

[@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. :)

[@lordmonarch2995]

What I wanna know is HTF is it that this man had so much money and he didn’t use it to take care of tue blood clot in his brain? That’s the REAL story!

[@DaellusKnights]

Thinking about the Estate, the businesses and all... it's just a shame that no matter how great the Legacy it somehow all becomes politics in the end. 😐 Just this once in our lifetimes, I'm hoping that Toriyama's contribution to art, culture, and just AMAZING CHILDHOODS in general is remembered as the touchstone of greatness that it truly IS. 😻

[@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.

i wonder if he had locked away a secret ending for Goku, cause now he simply flies off to train... i wonder if he ever had a solid ending for Goku and friends RIP Sensei...

[@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.

[@j-giv27]

I'm with u brotha 💯 I cried as well yeah he touched us all with he's work

[@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

[@blades0805]

To be honest being worried about what is next for dragonball was the furthest thing from my mind
