All Purpose Dragon Ball Thread

I’m concerned about Toyotaro. He was a fan, like all of us, before he became the Successor to Toriyama’s vision. The shoes he has to fill, the hole in his life that’s been created, the impact on his soul—It has to be unimaginable. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Jump still forced him to churn out a Chapter this month. Or, vice versa, he took a break this month.

Looking at those pages, those characters, knowing who made them, and who put you in that position to BE his Successor is GONE? I couldn’t work on it, even if I wanted to.

As his successor it's probably time for him to fully take the mantle once he's mentally well enough. Hope if there is a chapter in the upcoming months it's out of his volition and or that he takes a break if needed.
 
i just realised, since Super Hero takes place 1 year before the final chapter of Z............then, this means that we are currently approaching in canon the canonical ending of the series.........how can we continue from there? do a GT 2.0?
 
Something interesting I found. The effective creator/godfather of the animanga medium called Toriyama his successor.

Apparently, Toriyama was sick since Last Year.

This explains a LOT. Why he collaborated with Iyoku for CC, why he personally involved himself with Daima (he’s never gotten involved with Anime projects before), the 3 month Hiatus Toyo went on, etc. etc. A lot of the drama can be explained by Toriyama literally doing his best to pass on his Legacy.

Now, none of this is confirmed—For all we know, it’s total coincidence that those events happened alongside his decling health. But I’d like to think that the man infamous for not having a plan realized, before he passed, he’d need to invest one. Just this once.

Dude was so tuff it took a year for that to take him down.

Should've known he was built different. He created sagas, not arc.

Made this art piece in tribute to Akira Toriyama

Toriyama made the most popular transformation in fiction because he wanted to save ink by not coloring in Goku's hair.

And it was the hardest shit you've ever seen

While one might consider this to be a bold claim, I believe whole heartedly that there is not a single moment in anime history, both old and new, that will EVER match Goku's first transformation as a Super Saiyan. Like no cap, this is hands down one of the most iconic moments in Eastern media as a whole
 
Man. There are news stations reporting it, politicians making announcements, even the Chinese government mourned his passing. Beautiful tributes everywhere. This man's work quite literally transcended race, ideologies, culture, any and all boundaries to inspire the hearts of everyone across the globe. Sincerely, the magnitude and impact of his legacy is so vast and deep that it eludes description.

Honestly I still struggle to come to terms with it. Even while reading a post or video title about it, it's so surreal that my mind tricks me into thinking it was just me having a dream or something. Like I can't fathom it. Obviously I knew he would've died eventually, but it was just so sudden. The reaper doesn't care much for that though.

I don't know why, but this part of your comment reminded me of a quote that Terry Pratchett said in regards to the character of Death:

"Despite rumor, Death isn't cruel - merely terribly, terribly good at his job."

The way I rationalize it, the reaper relieved Toriyama of the pain he was experiencing from his Subdural Hematoma and guided him to the next step of his journey. It's a tragedy that he passed away sooner then many of us would've wanted it to happen, but I at least hope Akira was met with a friendly and kind face to see him off.
 
Let's help finish this crt that has been open for a while?
