Sketches from Dragon Ball Super. Seem made by Akira Toriyama. They have been shown in a live event from V-Jump:

They are shared by Masa from Twitter. This is the tweet: https://twitter.com/si000859m/status/713278745100943360

And this is the Masa's text in this tweet:

【ニコ生視聴中】Vジャンプニコ生はじめました。(仮) #vjump #Vジャンプ http://nico.ms/lv255300297 このシーン鳥山先生が20年ぶりに描いたネームだったそう!凄い!

Can someone translate this to be sure of all this, please? ^^

Why do you think it's done by Toriyama?
It just looks like it's Toyotaro's unfinished art from the corresponding manga chapter 8(can't recall, if that's exactly right?)

Yes, I thought just the same. But it is what it seems that Masa says in its tweet, according to the poor translation of Twitter XD. Wait to see if someone on the forum can translate better this tweet.

If this really is from Toriyama, he has a lot more involvement than most originally thought. :thumbup:

"It seems this scene was the [first] storyboard Toriyama-sensei drew in 20 years!"

Jaco says hi, though.

Fuck Toei, if this is really Toriyama's storyboard then the arena of the anime is completely wrong while Toyotaro got it right.

Yeah, "it seems", that's too bad...

I wished I had watched the event to be certain because you can see the arena design has those obelisks Toyotarou uses in the manga so I can't imagine Toei changing that if it is from Toriyama himself.

There was a follow up tweet, but I'm on my phone and can't jump back and forth to source it. Here's the text though.

補足(^-^)TSを見れば分かりますが、とよたろう先生が描かれてるドラゴンボール超の漫画のネームを毎回鳥山先生に見せていて、唯一訂正された箇所がこの部分だったそうです。鳥山ワールドが強いシーンだなとは思っていたけどなるほど~と

Interesting. It seems Toyotarou shows Toriyama every storyboard of the manga and that part was the only one that got corrected/revisioned.

Wow, this is fascinating. Our first real look at the extent of Toriyama's involvement. That certainly elevates it from being a simple promo manga, to an extent.

So with Toriyama talking about the future of Dragonball, we all expect him to say there are more stories coming but could he also announce that the manga will become weekly with both him and toyotarou working on it.

Wow! Toriyamas got quite a lot of involvement in the manga. Now I do wonder how involved he is with the anime.

Ehh, as much as I'd love that to happen, I think that'd be too much to hope for.

So thats the reason why I feel that the manga's a lot more close to how dragon ball should be, I KNEW IT! :clap:
FCK toei for making Goku a dumbass naive child, I mean yes he is somewhat childlike but not like how Toei does him.

Most things are better in the Manga I think apart from the Piccolo vs Frost fight.

That story board; very cool. :3

Now I'm wondering why Toei changed the layout and design of things. I wonder if that's part of what upset Toriyama (they did have Vados call the initial benches design simple, I think.)

Because they don't care, they just want to get the show out as fast and with as little effort as possible.

Look what they did to Frost, in some shots he has Freeza's head design.

None of what you have said makes any sense at all, let alone fits the available facts. The production is doing more work now than ever before.

I wonder if the design changes were Yamamuro's decision. They do make it distinct, but the benches looked easier to draw because they're straight lines. Is it because the benches would also be visible during the fights?
