Am I the only one getting Freeza vibes from the little alien thing in-between the girl and the old man? I think it's the purple dome.
I'm getting a Kid Boo vibe mixed with Cashman (who looks like Coola).
He also kind of looks like Bebi.

I know this is unlikely, but I hope the girl with the awesome hat is the protagonist.

I fear she might be in a Bulma like role (like in the first arc).

*sigh* I have a feeling she is. But hey, there's nothing wrong with that.

I'm just wondering how pervy or not the old man character is gonna be.

If this does end up being a serial, what was his longest post-DB work? Sandland? Neko Majin? I'm kind of in awe...

Sandland was 14 chapters, pretty sure that's his longest recent work.
Don't expect this new series to be more than that.

Maybe Battle of Gods got him wanting to create some (short) manga, but it's always nice to see Toriyama come out with new stuff occasionally.

Very happy about this.
Toriyama is one of the best sequential artists in our lifetime. But I'm preaching to the choir here, aren't I?

I'm guessing it'll be another one-volume long story. And I'm totally happy with that! His shorter works that are written with a more solid beginning, middle, and end are really strong.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was pitched as a short series, and that Toriyama has been working slowly on it for some time, so he won't exactly be working at the hectic pace that a weekly author has to keep.

I think it's Toriyama law that all old men must be perverted in his manga.

You mean the shonen action anime/manga law. To be fair, Grandpa Gohan wasn't sexually perverted.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I'm just about done with the concept of reboots and making shows that were products of their time and impactful "new and sexy" and in line with modern tastes and sensibilities. Let stuff stay in their era and give today's kids their own shit to watch.
I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about
your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Yes he was. Watch the episode where he goes back to heaven.

Goku suggested he wish him back to life, and he said that he didn't mind being dead because of the women in heaven.

There's Guru. He's not particularly perverted. Admittedly, he's a member of a race of asexual slug people, but still.

And he's also pretty much on his death bed. Who knows what he would have been like had he been in better health.

I just hope that there's a small DB crossover. Not too much to ask for, right?

Roshi is a pervert, Jiraiya is (Naruto), Netero is (Hunter X Hunter)....I think the only ones who aren't that perverted are those from
One Piece, so people like Garp, Rayleigh etc unless Brook counts. Genkai from YuYu Hakusho might count as an exception, because she's a woman. Zeno from Hunter X Hunter too.
