Toriyama's designs for Super

Post by DBZGTKOSDH » Wed Feb 22, 2017 8:20 pm

So, I want to make a collection of all the designs that Toriyama made for Super, but I can't find them all. Here is what I've found so far:
So, if anyone has more designs that are not here, or designs that I've already posted but in better quality, post them here.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Didn't Toriyama design fused Zamasu ?
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

I don't remember (and couldn't find the information) if these designs were made by Toriyama. I think they are. Maybe someone knows?

I think the bottom is, but the top definitely isn't.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Goku and Vegeta are designs by Yamamuro made for ep 69, but the second image is from Toriyama.

That's Yamamuro, but there is something that looks like a Toriyama design floating on a sheet out there.

I have a batch of designs coming in tomorrow, so if it's in there, I'll scan it and post it.

Very interesting thread. I wonder if there are Mai and Merged Zamasu Toriyama's designs somewhere.

If I'm not mistaken (& it doesn't favor Yamamuro to my eyes), this should be Future Mai's reference.

As far as I know, Toriyama's Goku & Vegeta designs aren't publicly updated from Resurrection F.
