I've made a pastebin of the whole Toyotarō interview. Sorry if there are errors in my english translations! It should be okay, anyways: https://pastebin.com/K7FGtFfp

The most important thing that caught my attention is this:
Q: Some time ago, he said you are the most faithful mangaka to his work and style. He even said that you, today, have a dynamism that he claims to have lost; he prompted you to express freely, stating that he would be very curious about the final result. How did you take it?

T: Letting me go. And even if, for a fan like me, it feels great to have Toriyama's approvation on more traditional drawings, some of my greatest satisfactions stem from seeing him approve my original ideas: new moves, new expressions. And something else, in the future.
Upcoming Toyotarō original story/ies?

I really don't want buu to be replaced that shit pissed me off in the champa arc I don't want that shit happening again.
I really hope there just trolling us with this shit instead of actually meaning it what's the point hyping all ten member's if your going to screw one over.

Q: I've heard Toriyama has a direct role into your work, right?

T: Not only mine: he supervises every storyboard related to the Dragon Ball universe.

So Toriyama supervises the anime storyboards?

This caught my eye. Interesting. Every storyboard? What does that include? Toriyama might be more hands-on involved than we thought in a lot that's been coming out recently.

Also, I'm curious about that last answer. I love the current team, so whoever replaces anybody for U7 better be worth it. I don't like being cock teased like that.
Outside of U7 the only one I can see being forgotten is Hit: he had his rematch with Goku and got no push in either the marketing or the intro, so that could raise a few eyebrows.

Just hope it's not Piccolo or Buu getting the shaft. Piccolo I love and Buu is the most interesting fighter.

He's universe 6 best fighter plus we saw him in the intro
So no way he's getting cutoff.

I don't see why people would think that Hit has been underused or forgotten. He had a whole mini-arc for himself, is featured in a somewhat highlighted way in the opening, and is undeniably the most powerful fighter in U6.

Truth be told, though, that Cabba is much more likely to be a popular character because of personality. Hit appeals to the nostalgic audience (most of us) while Cabba appeals to the target audience of DBS (early teens).

From what I've seen so far, female fans find Cabba cute.

And for some reason Frost is also popular among the japanese fandom despite getting horrible treatment in the anime(he is featured in the games).

Okay lets look at the people that aren't getting replace
Goku,vegeta,gohan,piccolo,18,17,krillin,tien.
The only two that a chance to be replaced are either buu or roshi
Hopefully non of them get replaced and again toyo isn't serious.
Anyway didn't last week trailer hype something intresting on goku day or something?

If, BIG if, anybody in the team gets replaced before the Tournament starts I'll have a nice 'Fuck you.' kept in my back-pocket for whichever part of Toei handled the advertising; because that is shitty as hell.
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

The only person who it could be is Buu.

Goku, Piccolo, Gohan and Tien are together in episode 90 and I am going to assume Roshi is with them.

Vegeta is fighting in the opening and 17 should be there because what would be the point of him returning.

Krillin and 18 will also turn up.

The only other possibility is there being 11 members with Yamcha being the 11 member.

I think Yamcha making the teams 11 a side is what Toriyama needs to do now.

Absolutely no way Vegeta is left off. Absolutely no way. They already resolved his reason to not go.

Only person Is be okay with is Roshi. I like him but lets face it....he has no business in this tier of competition unless the bottoms of other universe are also weak.
Currently watching: My Hero Academia

Man that changes the game in terms of what is involvement in the series is. Fair play to him if this true.

I would be glad, but sadly it's not happening. It seems Yamcha's role will only be as a joke in this arc which is truly upsetting.

Dunno if some of you remember but, not so long ago, I accidentally spreaded fear that some fighters could have been replaced, based solely on my feelings

Well, ehr...

Q: Tell us something about the upcoming Dragon Ball Super arc.

A: I can only say this: do not think you already know the definitive teams for the upcoming Tournament of Power. Even if they have been already revealed


Maybe I got that for real :lol:

I still believe will be Buu the one to be replaced, he will fall asleep after a big binge, going fat again and sleeping for days

The real question is: who the hell will replace him? Could really be Yamcha?! Or some surprise member?

He has been credited for some of the GoDs in the current arc. Maybe story points related to them also came from him, rather than only designs.

I think Yamcha making the teams 11 a side is what Toriyama needs to do now.

This would be too good to be true, 11 members could bring us the best and most complete cast ever

Aside from my doubt on Buu, I think the ones who don't appear in the opening could be an hint

Iirc, we don't see Buu, Tien, Piccolo, right?

We saw buu appeared with the cast when they have the dragon balls.
Piccolo was with gohan attaining mystic
Tien appeared in a shot with the androids.

If they are replacing, not making someone join and job but legit replacing after all this promotion, all I will say is the advertising team made some very bad decisions..
