Databook Guide: Dragon Ball Theatrical Movie Guides
From Dragon Ball‘s debut at the Winter 1986 Toei Cartoon Festival all the way up through 2022’s Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero debut, we now have it all covered! This includes theatrical pamphlets, special Jump magazine releases, attendee bonus items, and even special newspaper publications!
This is actually a section I’ve been somewhat embarrassed hasn’t already existed here on the site, so it’s great to finally own the complete collection and get the details down in one place.

Last month, this article from an issue of the magazine Weekly Toyo Keizai — following up on last year’s news about Akio Iyoku striking out on his own — made the rounds, with a report on what appears to be major issues surrounding the various rights and direction of the Dragon Ball marketing and production machine, particularly in the wake of Akira Toriyama’s passing.

The typo is not present on the page with the actual translation though
