Writing a coherent and cohesive story takes a lot of time and effort, specially for an artist who just wanted to get his character designs out on print, so it's natural that he resorted to the same plot mechanisms, and with editors putting a bound on his creativity, he just repeated what was ...

I created this image when sitting on a bar with some pen and paper. It was a fun exercise, nothing that someboy with the same will and intent could not have done, and I suppose much better than me.

That was actually not what I said. Could you stop making it simplistic like that? I said that if people have access to the same tools, then what makes them an artist is the ability to create something striking that others would not have thought about, otherwise art would just be about the ability to ...

I'm of the opinion that art isn't craftsmanship, but the ability to detach oneself from the craft and produce something visually striking or conceptually challenging, because that means that it has not yet been figured out for the public to use and abuse, which includes having access to the same ...

Perhaps AI could fill Cell's spots automatically?


Just give artists more time and money.


It's up to the artist to manage his own whims, because Cell could easily go without spots if time and money were contraints, but Toriyama would most likely have used time saving techniques without ...

Perhaps AI could fill Cell's spots automatically?

He put on a mask until it became his face.

Perhaps worth noting is that Dragon Ball and DBS are years apart in development, so Goku's personality did not have a continuous growth.

Kojima of Metal Gear Solid fame left his ideas in a pen drive so that inspiration can be drawn from them when he passes away.
Toriyama did not seem that concerned with his own property though. He was highly contributive in life and that's how I want to remember him.

There's a word that I feel captures the essence of what fans mean when they say the word canon: authentic . A Dragon Ball continuation is more authentic when it feels like it establishes a proper foundation for the series to continue forward by revisiting its past developments and putting them on a ...

They could make a Dragon Ball Super game that consolidates the manga and anime instead, removing major differences and keeping its core intact, so that it's not as safe and exposition heavy as Toyotaro's manga nor as flashy and inconsistent as Toei's anime. Three or four major realms of power based ...

Instead of questioning inanimate material, we could challenge our perception of it, and find a way to reason with these inconsistencies. Shin > Piccolo > 18 > Freeza is only a problem when we think about fixed battle powers for base Saiyans. Before transformation, they were either suppressed or at ...

GT is better after Dragon Ball Z, Super is better after Battle of Gods and Resurrection of F, and Daima is kinda like the 10th Anniversary movie Path to Power, which had the production values of GT to tell a Dragon Ball story, and the end result has an alternate history placement in the timeline.

They could have set Daima after the EoZ instead and leave DBS alone. The story started with everyone getting young again so whichever complaints existed about the main cast having aged would be gone. I guess that the 10 year period is the most coveted since that's when there are more characters at a ...

Sounds like any fan's path when contributing to an official series before departing to create his own:
Taxman and Stealth contributed with Sonic CD, 1 and 2 remasters before creating Mania, and then they moved on to their project (Penny's Big Breakaway).
Toyotaro contributed with the movies and ...

I guess that the best solution would be to pronounce the name alongside its written form(s) and make that a convention in each (specific language) forum(s).

If I'm Portuguese with English as a second language, and looked at Jiren without knowing that it's a Japanese name (or its romanization), then ...

Would fans take Geran over Jiren as the character's name? It's pretty accurate in meaning and pronunciation.

I think that Toyotaro was just highlighting what fans already expected and did at a subconscious level for some (comic) relief. He must know that it's an issue that concerns them, hence the question asked at the panel, and he did the best that he could to not speak in the author's name. 'Canon' is ...

That is exactly what I needed, PrinceVegetto. Great effort! However, I think that I'm going to include The Path to Power at the end, because it uses GT animation and it may feel more nostalgic to go back to the beginning after a while. Now I'm going to try to find the missing movies and episodes to ...

The years in that chart are surprisingly accurate, with the exception that we don't know when Majin Buu saga happens to Trunks. It's somewhere after AGE 788 and before AGE 796. Goku Black witnessed the death of Kaioshin of East in the manga version, yes, but still nothing suggests he acted right ...

By no means I am a Dragon Ball expert, but a fan who has some time to spare on time travel shenanigans, and I'm of the opinion that you should follow the events from the same perspective that we're shown, without wondering about whether the other timelines exist as a place or not, because they could ...
