[@davidsmith8950]

I agree with constructive critism , but for this guy to then say " hey look I made the manga better " just by removing images isn't true , the original creator picked this guy , he passed the Batton on , not for KZbin views and irrelavnt critism to feed his own ego, but to continue something we all know and love. The views and critism I this video are offbase , it's typical of youtubers to name drop, critise and insult genuine content makers . Critism and insulting is the EASIEST , thing to do .

[@999cheeseballs]

David Smith you kinda missed the point by assuming that he claims to be better than Toyotaro. He’s just merely showing less-informed fans that the artist can improve. He has potential. He just needs to focus it. Yes, his tone was a little sarcastic and mischievous but it’s used to instill a comedic and nonchalant tone; which is essential in entertaining audiences with short attention spans.

A lot of people might say that Toriyama isn't a good writer. Maybe. But he's amazing mangaka. He's a prime example of "Work smarter, not harder" Heck, Super Saiyan. The biggest claim to fame most people know Dragon Ball for was an example of his laziness being for the best.

[@ooffordays566]

I mean, for writing exclusively on a week to week basis, Toriyama wrote a lot better than what most writers could crank out without at least a more thorough plan for the plot. Plus, only a few people could create quite as dramatic exchanges and intense moments even with better writing schedules.

[@monkeykingw]

@Indie Plex Awful would be a bit too far. While he can make pretty large blunders, he's still able to weave a flowing narrative with likable characters with proper motivations that can readers can emotionally resonate with. Plus when his focus is on Gag stuff, he's freaking hilarious. Dr Slump is nearly 40 years old, and it still great.

[@MrSilentProtagonist]

@@Grizzexploder That's ridiculous. He obviously let himself be knocked out when Piccolo telepathically told him that El Grande Padre has a secret army to start a coup. Krillin has been secretly creating a Spirit Bomb made of Angel Ki for Gohan to absorb but Gohan must get used to the Angel ki before he could absorb it. Angel ki is different for each Angel so he could only do it the ToP. However Gohan knows that Blanco isn't enough. Krillin, Tien Shinhan, and Master Roshi told Gohan of secret Earthling exclusive transformation, Calvo. They only managed to have normal baldness but Calvo creates a perfect shine around your scalp which Krillin learns after he stops waxing his head. However Calvo Blanco requires a perfect balance of hair and baldness.

[@Spiral-Mark]

So to sum up the short story, Toriyama's advice to Toyotaro is: 1. Less is more 2. More creativity

Android 17? Oh yeah, no one else notices he didn’t get knocked off. Kefla getting these outrageous power ups. Jiren not using his God of Destruction mode and staying calm, instead they turn him into a lunatic. I could go on.

[@kaifoppo7]

@@natecruz7114 1. No Buu so what? Frieza is a much fan favourite character. 2. What asspulls? You're just crying and bitching. 3. Because he took on Jiren alone. 4. Because no one was listening to him. We saw that just in the start of the T.O.P 5. Because for U.I, You need calm mind _(which vegeta doesn't have)_ and surpassing your limit. Goku was the right person for U.I because not only he is a fast learner, His head is always empty. 6. Frieza survived worsier things. And why does this make this arc bad? You wanted a clichè ending? 7. #17 pretended to have *DIED* not fallen off. 8. Yeah... Kefla one is bad. But atleast we got an 'Bad explanation' for her power ups. Kale is the Legendary SSJ like Broly, So when she fuses with Caulifla, She of course will gain outrageous power boosts. But the power-boosts given to Caulifla were just the worst thing from T.O.P 9. Jiren doesn't have that... Where'd you got that theory from? Jiren wasn't gonna be a G.O.D, So he didn't received the same training as Toppo. So... Anything more?

[@trolldrool]

Honestly, looking at how he uses so many panels with so many reaction shots from so many characters, it feels like it's set up like an anime. In an anime. you get a lot more detail. Where a manga might use a single panel to give the impression of the protagonist dodging a single blow, an anime could show every motion involved in dodging those attacks. Where a manga might have one character making a commentary on a situation, an anime might include other characters chiming in with their thoughts on the matter. Or in short, where manga usually leaves many gaps for the reader to fill in with their own imagination, Toyotaro seems to draw each panel to get the exact amount of detail you'd get from watching an anime.

[@EddieB-ready]

Well, yeah but, unfortunately... We aren't watching an anime, but reading a manga. Having 12 panels in 1 page works on very specific story-telling scenarios in manga, and shouldn't be crowded unless it's really necessary, like building up a full 2 page image with barely any dialogue

[@mikeexits]

That's what I was thinking. He didn't cut enough from the anime to match the panels-per-page and cleanliness of pages that Toriyama did.

[@jahnaviketha6300]

Makes sense since he used to a TV director

[@RabidRetrospectGames]

The Tournament of Power arc in the manga is just where I completely have lost interest. It is just way, waaaaaaayyyyy too rushed. It feels like they are sprinting to the finish line just to get it done with because of how close the Broly movie is. Say what you will about the anime and power scaling in general. I'd rather have wonky power scales where a ton of characters get moments to shine than to have Kale/Kefla and Frost tank through the majority of fighters. U7 vs. Aniraza, Kefla vs. UIS Goku, Gohan/Frieza vs. Lightspeed Dyspo, GoD Toppo vs. SSBE Vegeta, ect. All of those moments made the ToP worth watching. The manga is just... bleh.

[@lazyproductions8005]

Even so, the TOP power scaling in the manga sucks too, but it’s worse than the anime. Kale destroys all the universes, and then fuses with Kefla. Then Kefla gets beaten by Gohan. Who isn’t even the strongest on his team. That either means that A) The U7 Team is in no way the underdog, and that they could destroy the other universes in an instant. B) Caulifla made the fusion weaker, which I guess might make sense. Or both.

[@Dexuz]

@@lazyproductions8005 "Not by a long shot" - Totally Not Mark The scaling is worse in the anime in the sense that it's not consistent with itself, sometimes you see Goku having issues with Ribrianne as a Super Saiyan but then slapping her in base form, or using Blue to get rid of Enhanced Ribrianne even though Android 18 was able to take on an even more powerful Mega Ribrianne. Or Kale tanking Goku's Blue Kamehameha despite Controled Kale (the slim one) was stated to be stronger than her previous Berserker self, and that Kale was beaten up by God Goku, oh, and Jiren reacted to Berserker Kale, so he reacted to a girl who wasn't even God Goku level then? Why didn't he reacted to Kefla then? Inconsistent. You may argue the manga is unbalanced, with Kale being ridiculously powerful just as Gohan was, and the "mighty" Toppo essentially becoming fodder, which I agree, but at least it is *consistent* with itself, unlike the anime.

[@RonquixoteDIII]

I came here to type this exact comment. I bet his love of the anime might have effected him there as they tend to show everyone freaking out and there are times when it's done well expanding on scenes and not just toei stretching out the filler. For instance cell killing 16 was expanded in the anime and made the scene much better. But if you do it all the time, it makes the reactions feel like they aren't worth anything. And they take up space that could be used for the action, and break up the flow. I honestly feel if someone did what TNM did here it would improve the manga a lot but idk who would have the time to edit such a thing.

[@dath1886]

Ronquixote D. III That's exactly what I meant. It's like he's trying to adapt an anime into a manga and not the other way around. He should take some inspiration from Toriyamas original manga.

[@DBZMacky]

Toyotaro isn't a "Bad" Mangaka, but he's definitely no Toriyama.

[@fordesponja]

He is. In the art department this video sums it up pretty nicely, and paired that with the bunch of writers that can only recycle old concepts and failing miserably in the process, this is a total trainwreck. Nishimoto is the real heir to Toriyama, at least he could do a decent manga by himself. And precisely here lies the difference, Nishimoto started as a Dragon Ball fan too, but went on and passed his fan phase and didn't cling to dojinshis and could create Naruto, Toyotaro just did dragon ball dojinshis for years and stood in the comfort zone far too long. That's why there are myriads of really good artist that can create impressive illustrations in the manga industry, but true mangakas capable of not only draw but tell a good story with good pace is like finding water in the desert. One's drawing is lackluster at best and childish at worst, but Onepunch Man and Mob Psycho 100 are master classes of storytelling and panelling. And you can always bring a good artist like Murata to put a godlike art into a great story. The day Toyoraro does his own manga and just stop copying his master we will see if it's just another doujinshi writer or a truly full fledged professional. Until then, it's the first.

[@Sakaki98]

[@fordesponja]

@@Sakaki98 It's just that I'm tired of watching something I treasured a lot from my childhood been converted into this greedier day by day money making machine, starting reading this manga and discover that the guy that kickstarted this trend is a jackass dojinshi writer who can't do a proper manga by himself. And worst of all, the original creator gives his blessings to this cesspool because he still hasn't enough to buy an island or create a dinosaur with dna cloning or whatever he wants to do with all that money, is not like Dragon Quest isn't super popular and a much better option to see what Toriyama genuiely cares about and does miles better or something like that. Greed fucking ruined this series. Just compare the first kaioh ken or super saiyan transformation and then the festival of led lighting saiyan a la disco we have now. Still, I wish they learned a lesson with the new Broly and keep going that way, now they need to do better writing suited for a little more mature audience like it was before, young teens instead of toddlers, and we are set to a better future. Or just fucking ending it for good. All things end. And it would be wise for all to accept it. I thought back in its day that the Buu saga exceeded what it was necessary for a good manga and its popularity proves that point. Not every series must be Doctor Who or One Piece. Self containment is a concept that the author of Bakuman and Death Note said it should be more had in count in the manga industry. And I concur.

[@YamatoFukkatsu]

@@fordesponja The longer and longer this franchise gets milked, the more and more likely we're gonna hear (Japanese) Goku played by someone who isn't Masako Nozawa, and that frightens me. And it's bizarre, because last decade.... hell, for roughly 15 years after GT ended, Dragon Ball WAS dead and buried. It had long since ended and the industry (sans video game developers from time to time) was able to move onto something else, and yet it was well off for it, because at least then the series was very fondly remembered. Come to think of it, does this all come back to Dragon Ball Evolution? Seriously, after Hollywood put out that shitshow, Toriyama created Battle of Gods in response as a way to show them up (which, to be fair, he succeeded at by far), and needless to say, it's been a nonstop train ride ever since. Hell, even Kai initially got cancelled after the Cell arc (the Buu arc only being remastered to sell to international audiences at first), so it seemed like Dragon Ball was still facing dormancy before Battle of Gods became a thing.

[@fordesponja]

​@@YamatoFukkatsu I'm not for just burying whatever once is finished. There have been reboots and continuations before and there will be, but this is one of those instances that there is really nothing to add to the original work or do a twist on it, is just let's continue this like it hasn't passed 15 years because there is people willing to throw money at us for that. I pretty much prefer full metal panic fumoffu over the original, the only thing that has changed is that fumoffu is just focused on comedy, but just changing studios from xebec to kyoani gave the series another distinct tone to it. And fumoffu is just plain fanservice because the original blew up, well done fanservice like kyoani knows to do, but fanservice in the end. The dragon ball dojinshis are bad. Generally because is just emulating (failing a lot in the process) what you like and there isn't really that many artists who get stuck to those era shonens because the source material is the most basic shit in the manga industry and was surpassed decades ago. Just look the kind of expanded universe naruto or one piece offer, the character evolutions and other things and we are talking about shonen battle mangas which their authors aren't really recognized for exceptional character developement or anything of the sort. Rurouni kenshin was in its entirety a manga that clearly evolved from the late 80's shonens but goes a little more beyond, and that started in freaking 1994! Even a complete reduction to the absurdity of this style like bobobo is way more interesting and refreshing. So, it really doesn't talk well at all about this situation and toyotaro as an artist if you just can't break from a style that was old news 25 years ago. But since everyone just want the same thing over and over and gives tons of money, toyotaro is just the perfect cinderella for this overused and dirty shoe. And from the artist perspective this will just chain him more to this. I would be desperate in his place. Heck, jojo is totally different since phantom blood and you can really tell through the different parts how araki has evolved from 1982 to nowadays.

I think you're mistaken with the name of the arc in the manga. Toyotaro's version is definitively the *_Goku Black_* arc because Trunks does near to jack shit in his re-telling, and is literally just side fodder who adds nothing worth mention. It's actually really sad when you realise he wholeheartedly could have been absent. That said, it _is_ still better than the current manga T.O.P i'll give it. Black's art for the most was fantastic and did a very good job in expressing his evilness, Fused Zamasu too fought in a far more interesting and un-conventional way. But i can't forgive the shafting of one of Dragonball's most liked characters. Sadly, that wasn't the first nor the last time Toyotaro would shit on fan favourites.

[@deathxanamon7211]

I had that problem just from looking at ONE of his pages in this video

[@DeadKraken]

That is absolutely true, he has no idea on how to compose a page to facilitate panel's reading, so sometimes 2 panels have a nice flow an then the rest is a mess. Toriyama is very good at paneling, especially in action scenes, the compositions he uses are clear and the action readable, while Toyo seems to be totally clueless on how to do these kind of things, which is a shame considering that he's not that bad when it come to smearing effects and poses.

This video correctly squashed the red herring of the reference drawings and showed that Toyotaro's problem is not necessarily the drawing, it's his lack of imagination and weak composition compared to Akira Toriyama. We should not expect Toriyama because it's not, but the problem is that he's trying way too hard to make this _Dragon Ball awesome story._ It's like when you read Faulkner and try to write like Faulkner, but you lack the writing talent of Faulkner. You probably know grammar well enough, and able to put some style in your writing, but that's not enough to have _one sentence_ extend for seven fucking pages and not be a run-on (Faulkner's _The Sound and The Fury_ for those interested). You're trying too hard to replicate something you see, but you lack the skill to back it up and/or the [complete] understanding to know why it worked in the first place.

Really good points Mark! That was some really good commentary on page composition that I haven't heard before (and that's after reading that book about how to draw comics!) so nice work there. Toyotaro could definitely use some pointers on such things, and as far as his "bad drawings", he's probably way overworked (like most mangaka). I know how long it takes to create a single page of a detailed manga like that so I'm sure quality goes out the window as the burnout sets in.

[@quase3]

I dont see how or why, the source material (the anime in this case) is absolute shit, the story is terrible, the new characters are terrible, they ruined the old characters, they teared appart everything that was established in db and dbz etc.... This was a cash grab from the beggining with a bunch of new transformations to sell merchandise and new characters with cartoony and childish design and plain 1 dimmentional childish personality to appeal to kids. Dbz was a simple anime but it was good at what it did, the whole "new stronger enemy appears main characters get new transformation" formula couldnt be any more streched than it was on dbz, the show should have ended in cell saga, buu saga was already a stretch; now to do an entire new anime with the same tired formula but actually 100000000000x worse in every possible way than the original is just stupid and if you actually like db super you have no taste at all and you would watch literally anything that came out with the db name on it.

[@tricko8000]

It wouldn't be better in the hands of another mangaka. The reason why the ToP is so rushed is because he HAS to end it before the movie comes out in December, to promote it with the first chapter of Broly saga. This deadline is forcing him to rush through this saga.

Remember how everyone complained about how long to T.O.P was in the anime and how they can't wait till the manga came in and put the anime to shame.

2 chapters left. As the first week of December, Broly's manga for the movie is gonna be released according to the rumors. This month, Vegeta will be eliminated and Goku will go Full UI and next month the climax. So more or less 60 pages of the tournament left with around 10 or so for the prologue.

[@outcast_mystic]

I like The Dragon Ball Super manga,however,he's not as good as Toriyama.

[@ROMANTIKILLER2]

Regarding Toyotaro's skills as an illustrator: Using references is nothing unusual as anyone who has ever held a pencils of bruce can tell, moreover I don't think he is actually tracing (in fact even an amatour with some skills and experience can copy an image without tracing). The problem is that he is not able to use the refences in an organic and original way: I cannot see his own take and style, he seems more to pick some nice images here and there. In fact, his main shortcoming compared to Toriyama are not single panels (drawings usually look good overall), but the fact that the panelling lacks the dynamism and visual storytelling that make Toriyama's manga great. Regarding Toyotaro as a storyteller: I think he lacks focus. There are some nice takes and ideas, but again there is little consistency and the more he tries to fill some plot-weaknesses of the anime, the more he creates internal incoherence. Also it is quite clear that he could not care less about the ToP arc, really rushed and inconsistent. The way like he seems to build up to something that then is suddenly brushed aside (e.g. Toppo, Kefla, Beerus' rivalry with Quitela) gives an even stronger feeling that we are reading simple a bunch of panels sticked together just because.

Don't even get me started with Gohan's human power nonsensical dialogue. Anime Kefla is far from being a rip off of Vegito.

Caulifla is also a pain considering Frieza had to use his Golden form to prevent taking more damage. But Gohan? No. Complete utter bull. Even if a Saiyan gets stronger during battle, it wouldn't be so exaggerated enough to completely cross the power of a fusion unless it's a literal divine intervention like the SSJG ritual or accumulated training being put to use. This is Frost we are talking about. Someone who while weaker at least put up a short decent fight against SSJ Goku post-BOG. And what did Frieza do?

DBS is just so weak in every aspect. tensionless stories, uninteresting opponents, useless transformations, bad art design for manga and anime. Young Jijis Dragonball AF manga should have been the new canon of DB right from the start. It has a interesting plot, great new characters, actual reuse of beloved characters, emotional weight and well deserved new transformations. I just cant stand how every arc of DBS just feels like a happy, little side quest with unnecessary jokes thrown all over it.. It almost feels like filler alltogether.

Have you seen the latest chapters? I'd say he's improved. He still uses alot of dialogue sometimes but the panels are cleaner and understandable and seems like he's cut down on pointless panels.

Totally Not Mark: Embarrassingly right

[@madeinsound08]

There is also a big problem with the Toyotaro manga is that it puts too much gray all over it, it doesn't have a shade of gray, and it doesn't know where to put it. Which makes the designs unpleasant to look at.

[@MegaAnimeLLC]

Great video! A lot of good point was made in this, I think he fills his pages because the manga is a monthly manga and not a weekly manga

[@superior2096]

The DBS manga is so weak, it makes Yamcha look strong. 💪😄 (Also what did guys think of the new Broly Trailer?)

[@dekuizuku3433]

The Broly movie trailer was so good!!!

[@henryt3301]

Beautifully animated, but the story adapting Minus is going to give me a headache with the people complaining, so I'm muting everything in Twitter.

[@Gnidel]

Yamcha survived baseball from God of Destruction. He's strong.

[@pandapombo9526]

I thought it was great! I don't really that much about the changes unlike *SOME* people. But so far, I have not been disappointed!

[@Alovon]

Time Constraints, time constraints everywhere. Toyo, even if he tries his best, will get dragged down especially because of Toei commissioning the Manga. They likely want him to get the ToP done with quickly. That compounds the problems with Toyo. To get all the information needed in the arc, he needs to compact all that info into many panels per page. I'm not saying that it's the only issue, however I think that that issue is preventing Toyo from giving the aforementioned breathing room.

[@metatron6262]

Alovon That wasn’t even the issue that he said Toyotaro has in the manga. The issue was Toyotaro over does his chapters. More time wouldn’t help that, what he needs to do is change his manga style.

[@Alovon]

@@metatron6262 umm, yeah it kinda does. It prevents him from trying to be more loose and implement Toriyama's advice because, he absolutely has to now. I'm not saying the time constraints were a problem in previous arcs, those arcs problems were primarily Toyo's alone. However, the ToP arc is subjecting him to large time constraints, ergo to get it done in time (hint hint, December/January). He has to compact the arc, therfore the art, panels, and story get rushed and squished. And that compounds on Toyo's other problems.

[@Malthizar]

Exactly. Plus he has to make the manga different enough from the anime to garner interest while simultaneously find a way to have it make sense outside of "he has the will to do it" that the anime kept recycling. Its not an enviable job and one I feel confident almost any mangaka would fail at. What's more, the fact that he only has a monthly issue with only so many pages allotted to him makes it even more difficult

[@MrFlip2247]

Alovon you realize Toriyama was constantly on a time restraint drawing and writing Dragonball and because of that his best work was born from that struggle. The Super Saiyan form being one of them.

[@luckytiger4779]

Rozu, Why are you comparing that? The situation is entirely different because the manga was ahead compared to the now with the manga being behind.

[@Nxforthewin]

10:18 goodness android 17 how are you doing that

[@Amplifymagic]

The new arcs where the manga got ahead of the anime proves that when given the chance Toyotaro is good. The problem is Toriyama is a god.

[@00repz00]

I think toyotaro feels a pressure of sort, mainly because: 1- he is carrying on dragon ball's legacy 2- because his manga is monthly and is behind the anime. I could be completely wrong, but I feel like is trying to wrap the arc up before something happens. I.e., he is on a schedule. Back with dragon ball, Akira did not plan things ahead and had no source material to rely on, so he was more carefree with his story. I think that's why he was more lax with his panelling and pacing. 3- Maybe toyotaro has to work side-by-side with TOEI's anime staff to some extent, and that's why his pacing is affected? Also, maybe it's because he thinks the readers have seen the anime and therefore just want the TOP manga to cut straight to the point with they 'hype' moments? I am saying that because a lot of "secondary" fights in the anime's TOP were not shown in the manga. 4- Lastly, I think toyotaro is doing "too much work" because he also has a smaller workload...? once again, i could be totally wrong because i am not that familiar with page limits when illustrating a manga for a magazine, but 45 chapters a month can only express so much in comparison to a weekly manga. A weekly manga has around 17 pages, which is around 68 pages a month. Maybe that's why weekly manga can have a slower pace than a monthly one? I apologize if my points are all jumbled up, but these were my thoughts when watching the video. I also really felt that ToP was very concise in comparison to the anime, which I was not a big fan of. Not giving fights enough room does not allow the intensity and stress build up as they end too soon, which is why I was not so hyped reading them. Also, I loved your edits! Indeed less panels do make it seem more enjoyable! Would reread DBS if someone did that to it all. Great video like always :)

[@Jarack25]

it is so weird the first few arcs in the anime were bad compared to the manga (In most people's opinions) yet in the Tournament of Power arc the anime is more beloved and the manga gets the most hate. It is weird yet a bit relatable.

[@JSAVACADO]

A little harsh on the panel composition, although I agree that in most cases less is definitely more. Personally, I think that lots dialogue and panels won't tire out a reader if the writing is good. A lot of Super (especially the TOP) suffers from bad writing, leaving the densely packed pages feeling like a cluttered mess instead of action packed.

[@heracrotix7244]

It’s insane how much more readable your edits were. They actually made sense and got me hyped, Toyotaro can draw dragon ball really well! But as a mangaka... he’s not the best.

[@Memarzuq]

You're 100% right about the Manga being "Too cluttered", and "Hard to read". It makes u not wanna read it, no matter whats going on

[@SttudDioPierrot]

I feel as if the manga's being rushed, which is why the quality has dropped for TOP. Everything before the actual tournament started was fine...Except for goku going SS3 vs 17.

[@Amplifymagic]

Pierrot he doesn’t have all day to write a year long arc. His corporate overlords need him to be promoting Broly by December.

[@rockstarji21]

No he turned the goku black arc from a good arc with a shit ending into bad arc with a shit ending

[@SttudDioPierrot]

@@rockstarji21 i disagree. Here's what i think was better in the manga. 1. Trunks and the kai's vs babadi and Dabura 2.Trunks not getting a random power up. 3. Vegeta switching between SSJG and SSJB to fight black. 4. Mafuba not working because Goku...Just flat out forgot to bring the sealing tape. These were just a few, off the top of my head

@@SttudDioPierrot but lets be honest. Sometines it felt like a fan series in certain parts. Not saying art was bad most likely pacing I guess. Idk. I am not exactly sure.

And here's where it is worse 1 zamasu is boring 2goku black is lame and pathetic 3goku fights a fusion and dose well 4goku used a move that should be exclusive to gods of destruction 5vegeta one shots two merged zamasus with one attack 6zamasu and black stay fused because they really want to 7 immortality equals duplication apparently 8 it had the chance to have a better ending then Zeno kills zamasu like in anime after seeing people did not like it but they still did it
