Personally I'd be able to believe that an eventual next movie came from Toriyama, but only one, and probably nowhere near all of it. I also think Toyotaro would be able to credit Toriyama with the ideas behind one or two more Super manga arcs, but only the basic ideas.


For at least another ...

You're right that the male character designed by Toriyama is seen using the mechanic as well, but is he really meant to be a Saiyajin only? I don't recall that being confirmed, it could be a Earthling character as well and they just made a montage in the latest trailer to make it seem like it's ...

In no way trying to defend the billion dollar companies here, but if I want to be fair, then I would have to consider saying things such as “Toyotaro has no recognition from superiors” or “Toyotaro didn't advance in his career” as not really true.

Outside of the manga, Toyotaro did art for games ...

I really like what we saw so far, there are still a bunch of things I would like to see but I believe they’ll eventually show them, the marketing for this has just begun.
Graphics really appeal to me, though I would like for the maps and overall landscapes to be less “cartoon plain” and more like ...

I don't really care about the U6 Saiyajins either but for more specific reasons.
1: Their designs are just unappealing to me, I think Toriyama did plenty of good designs for the Modern Era, but these three are just not one of them.
2: They remind me way too much of Goten, Trunks (Present) and ...

(If your post was a wall of text, then I wonder what mine are)
LostTimeLord that's a good summary, my bad if I made it seem like you were wrong about saying that Toei had nothing to do with distribution. My focus was more on how much control they have over the IP and a possible involvement of ...

Dragon Ball Daima is an adaptation of the Dragon Ball manga. It being a 'sequel' doesn't change the fact that it's an adaptation of said manga.

Well if doesn't change the fact that it's an adaptation of a manga, then it also doesn't change the fact that Shueisha owns the IP because that means ...

Toei actually owns/controls the Dragon Ball anime, though. Shueisha licenses out the rights to adapt the manga, but they don't distribute the anime themselves.

Hmmm no, you might remember who were the entities behind the right dispute 3 years ago. It's Capsule Corporation Tokyo that owns ...

Sand Land seems to be a different deal entirely though, as (correct me if I'm wrong) Toei wasn't involved and Disney had the global first-run rights.

It was made by Sunrise Studios, Anima and Kamikaze Douga. But i didn't mention Toei, I mentioned Shueisha and Bird Studio, which own not only the ...

I can't help but wonder if Cabba was introduced as a result of Tarble being off limits due to the 2008 special he appeared in having some rights issue behind the scenes that prevents him from being used in anything else, or the special itself from being localized outside of Japan.

Very slim ...

But we're talking about Super Hero, which was distributed by Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures, so the old agreement with Fox doesn't apply to this since they were not involved in either the production or distribution of this film.

Strange, I can recall seeing something related to it back when was ...

Probably not, it was very likely a consequence of the Dragon Ball movie rights in the west belonging to 20th Century Fox, which is now owned by Disney.

The Dark Knight but isn't Comic con only used for Akio Iyoku to reveal new trailers of Animated Projects? I don't recall that event being used for any manga related announcements.

I hope it will be when DBS Beerus starts, or before its premiere just like how the first chapter was released a month prior to the anime's first episode.

Though I fear the fact that the franchise's main animation sector can work more independently from the manga now since the Capsule Corp Tokyo ...

It was established in the movie that Broly rapidly gets stronger as he fights, and he was shown to have a green aura. Not really a stretch he'd get green hair when he'd reach full power. Even in the manga, Gohan points out that Broly doesn't have a regular Super Saiyan form (and in flashbacks, we ...

Hi, Good Morning / Afternoon / Evening / Night. I've grown more used to using the site as source often, so would like to tell if I miss something. The "Translations" section feel very complete and lot of work put into them, but I believe it's lacking the Akio Iyoku's other Daima interview done on ...

The Dark Knight I personally think that Jump Festa when it comes to new big Dragon Ball announcements, had a questionable track record in the latest 4 / 5 years.
The last big announcement for a long time was in the 2021 edition (JF 2022), where the second trailer for Super Hero was revealed + the ...

I guess this pretty much confirms the hiatus will continue into August as well

After the next 2 or 3 project (if I'm feeling generous) I'll stop believing it.
There is absolutely no way in hell they plan things that far in advance. If they did, modern Dragon Ball would have been a lot different lol

True, especially the 6 years of absolute limbo in the serialized animation ...

So far, I believe it's a 50 / 50 case.

There is evidence for specific projects that do justify why it's said that Toriyama was involved. Xenoverse 3 is in development since 2019, while Dragon Quest XII was revealed in 2021. And they even show the character designs made by him (XV3), or at least the ...
