Let’s set the stage: You’re having a wonderful conversation, and then *BOOM* — you’re hit by a fellow fan with what appears to be a quote from original Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama that completely, thoroughly, and conveniently “debunks” everything you just theorized. A new entry in our “Rumor Guide” tackles this very scenario! While it is impossible to catalogue every single last “fake interview” that fans have concocted over the years, we can at least share a few of the most notable ones that still make the rounds… sometimes even multiple decades later, and on an entirely new group of unsuspecting fans.

The “Rumor Guide” has been a consistent favorite of staff and visitors alike here at Kanzenshuu — the entries are a blast to put together, and they each act as an authoritative, one-stop-shop with verified original research and (generally!) definitive answers. Enjoy!
