Hello everyone! Following my recent trip to Comiccon Napoli where I attended Kazuhiko Torishima's panel, I decided to sit down and read his book "Rejected: Shonen Jump's Legendary Editor-in-Chief's "Unpleasant" Work Techniques. It's a dense 308 page collection of interviews and reflections but I've ...

The problem with Torishima's remarks in regards to 'modern manga' is that it just comes across as him viewing commercial art through that commercial lens and not through an artistic one. He worked in selling magazines for kids and he had his own restrictive view on how that would operate. It ...

I didn't take any photos as it's often restricted or discouraged. But I have a summary of what Torishima said throughout the interview. He has some interesting, refreshingly blunt takes about the current state of the industry and doesn't mince words.

I think Daima is as close as you'd get to a GT remake.

"To the surprise of many, when he started working on Dragon Ball GT, he was told that this transformation already existed… but that Toriyama wouldn’t be responsible for its design."

This report is talking about Ssj4's design in GT, not Daima. I wouldn't have an issue if Toriyama didn't design ...

If there’s one thing that recently excited Dragon Ball fans, it was the final stretch of Dragon Ball Daima. Not only because it was the last project Akira Toriyama worked on before his passing, but also because Super Saiyan 4 was finally made canon, a legendary transformation that had previously ...

Toriyama didn't really choose Toyotaro to be his successor. Before Resurrection 'F' there were a few official artists who would draw promotional material such as Dragon Ball SD, Dragon Ball Heroes chapters and other video games related stuff. Toyotaro was one of them. So when it was time to draw ...

If Super and Daima are non-canon, neither are OG DB and DBZ, LMAO! Literally written by Toriyama. :D


Nope.

Dragon Ball is a manga of 42 volumes written and drawn by Toriyama alone with a beginning, middle and an end. Without the source material, you wouldn't be having Super and Daima in the ...

Toyotaro clearly does care about the contiuinity tho, probably too much in fact. And if canon was truly not a tjing as you suggest, they would not even be inteoducing all those things in the main continuity or whatever you want ro call it to begin with. What Daima is doing is not any different rhan ...

Canon in Dragon Ball doesn't mean anything anymore and it's obvious it never mattered in the first place when Toriyama himself never cared that much about it. Arguing about it is like trying to argue about the timeline in the Fast & Furious movies, it's a lost cause.

"Canon" matters when the ...

Vegeta being a gooner was definitely not something I expected in my bingo card. This is probably the funniest thing that came out of Daima of all things lmao

Dragon Ball (Manga):
1. Saiyan
2. Red Ribbon Army
3. 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai
4. Namek
5. 21st Tenkaichi Budokai
6. Hunt for the Dragon Balls
7. 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai
8. Piccolo Daimao
9. Majin Boo
10. Android

The Saiyan arc is by far the best story arc in the entire series. It is the best for ...

You said that forms should be taken only after terrible hardships, you do realize that Goku was pummelled and beaten to a pulp by Gomah, right? You even singled out SSG and Ultra Instinct, all forms that Goku achieved only after getting stomped (SSG) or training for 4 ARCS (Ultra Instinct ...

SSB? No buildup, just "We combined SSJ with God Ki, deal with it."


SSJ3: "I trained 7 years off-screen and got this new form, off-screen, deal with it."

You lose me here.

Either way, SSJ4 doesn't need foreshadowing in the context of Daima. We should already expect surprises and things out ...

I'm still not sure what this episode did that is so divisive in this fandom.

That's fine. Episodes (and in this case, entire shows) are allowed to be divisive. Polarizing art can sometimes bring out the worst in its audience, but isn't in itself a bad thing.


I was just talking about this ...

Serious question: Who is Daima supposed to appeal to? Besides the unfortunately high amount of Dragon Ball fans that’ll watch anything official.

It’s supposed to be a return to Dragon Ball’s adventure aspect, but there’s no actual worldbuilding and the adventures are boring. They fly, they stall ...

All the internet is raving about this episode and predictably this forum is miserable and negative as usual

Initial hype means jackshit. Just because something is popular in the moment doesn’t mean it's actually good. Dragon Ball thrives on hype-driven, reactionary fandom. People lose their ...

>what if we brought back Freeza (RoF)?
>what if Trunks came back for another time travel story?
>what if we brought back the Pilaf Gang?
>what if we paired Mai with Trunks (because making a new character is too much trouble)?
>what if we brought back Freeza again (ToP)?
>what if we made another ...

There's literally nothing that stops Tenshinhan from getting stronger. Humans now have so many different ways of getting strong and catching up to the Saiyans from the Ultra Divine Water of Karin, from the Grand Elder's ability to draw out one's hidden potential, and the best one from the Old ...
