If I were to speculate on Toriyama’s influence on Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, it would simply be the fact that Bird Studio and his name are credited. It could have been a simple conversation like:

Iyoku: I want to produce a re-edited version of the Dragon Ball Super anime. Do you think that’s a ...

What I meant is that many people credit Toriyama as the screenwriter, as if he wrote the series entirely and the animators or Toyotarō only illustrated it. That's not the case.

Toriyama wrote the screenplays for all four films. But he wasn't the screenwriter for Toyotarō's 104-chapter manga, nor ...

Even when Toriyama was alive and active in Dragon Ball productions, they overvalued his influence.

I mean, what he did in Dragon Ball Super was write vague drafts and character designs for the arcs, some of them suggested by the editorial team, which would be transformed into 131 episodes written ...

You didn't understand what I said. Those scenes came later in terms of release, not production. I know they were left in the editing room.

What I find intriguing is that what's written on that page is a scene that was cut from the theatrical version and is only present in the extended version, which was first shown on Fuji TV in March 2014. However, the auction for this item ended in January 2014, two months earlier.

I found this while browsing Mandarake. It seems fake to me, since something like this would have sparked more curiosity from the fandom. But I'm here to get confirmation.

They'll never do that because they also need to convey the image that all of this was written by Toriyama, so any changes they make can't be too blatant.

As if the question were about whether the content was good or bad 🤦


All commercial projects exist to sell a product and make profit, whether we as an audience or critics might universally hail said project as being True Art or whathaveyou. Even when a passion project is funded by a commercial ...

As if the question were about whether the content was good or bad

I don't much see the point of bothering to brand something as 'pointless' given that it's going to exist for the rest of time anyway. If it's good, good. If it's bad, that sucks, maybe they'll do it better next time. Like, I think Dragon Ball Evolution and Fukkatsu no F are bad films, I don't go ...

Well, if they mess up the second attempt, they can try again in five years. After all, it's improving, isn't it? Personally, I'd stay in this endless cycle. In 2036, there will be children who didn't watch the series in 2026, so they'll make a new version for them.

At that stage the future was in, I don't think it would be possible for a society to rebuild itself. However, this could be fixed by Goku taking the Dragon Balls from the present to the future and repairing Earth, as well as resurrecting the dead. It would be a closing of the loop for Trunks' story ...

The cast doesn't need to be entirely Asian. For example, the people of West City could be American actors. But I think it's a terrible idea to do the same with characters like MutenRoshi, Kuririn, Tenshinhan, Yamcha, Chi-Chi, and others who carry Asian influences in every aspect. From their names to ...

I reflected a lot on this idea and coincidentally decided to write drafts of what would be a Dragon Ball trilogy adapting all 194 chapters.

I made a 12-page draft of what would be the first film, which mixes the Dragon Ball's Hunt arc and the Red Ribbon Army arc. I'm looking for literary and ...

I follow the same principle.

This smells to me like someone trying to minimize the damage of a fabricated story to avoid the wrath of their followers.

This justification is stupid when you understand the basics of how a series is produced, especially one that's at a stage where there are rumors circulating about key scenes ...

"I'm the nephew of the president of Toei Animation, and I know they're producing a remake of Dragon Ball Super."

It's so easy to grab the attention of naive fans desperate for franchise content. Anyone who says they know something will be taken 100% seriously.

I just reiterate what I said: if it's good, preserve it; if it's bad, discard it. This isn't about a remake of Dragon Ball Super, but about Dragon Ball from now on.


The ending of the Future Trunks saga is good, though, and much better than another generic Disney Fairy-Tale ending where the ...

I think you misunderstood what I said. I was specifically talking about Toriyama's drafts, responding to your comment about something that belongs to Toriyama and cannot be changed. As I previously mentioned, there's an example of a larger plot point involving the end of the Future Trunks arc, which ...
