BleedingCool News claims Toriyama is writing new Dragon Ball

[Zionist]

My friend showed me this article today.....My two cents.....if anything, I hope we just get a view into the 7 years in between and maybe even the 3 years of training........anything else would seem pointless.......Post Buu? That's stupid.....

Remastering a manga? errr.....idc much for that.....

I just hope this is a false claim......Over the years everyone has either heard or been told or read somewhere that Toriyama has terrible Memory about Dragon Ball and that basically any fan can tell you more about what happened in the story.....so.....why again would he randomly do this?

Toriyama: I just got this great idea about a new character! He's a space alien and -get this- he's Goku's brother!

Straight from the man himself!

Seriously, I need to write about this comment when I get back home.

Can't speak for 5D's.

5D's is also in the same universe. It takes place many decades after GX.

Kanzentai asked on their Twitter account. He said he got it "from a senior comic book industry source".

That's it? What can we take away from that?

[Saimaroimaru]

Perhaps Akira is reading his entire DB manga right now. Hes probably loling at himself thinking why he did this or that at the time. He seems to be busy with DB in general with DBO and all. Sounds like he whats to see what he can do after so many years.

[Senzu_Bean]

A short story manga or even a long story to tie-in with DBO would be quite neat, indeed.

Thanks for posting this. I wonder what he means by "from a senior comic book industry source" ?

Sorry folks.

[jordanator]

Ah well. I'm happy enough with good ol' DragonBall anyway.

Sorry folks.

Can't say I wasn't hoping for one.

Hurrah!

Can someone quote what was said? Though its obvious what it is by the reactions, Twitter is blocked on my work computers.

You home yet? lol......So basically if we trust AT's word, then this is just some bs......but then again..this coming from the man who didn't plan on going past the Namek Arc to begin with....this is just a bad idea overall imo

By the way, Shueisha representatives told me that the Dragon Ball remake by Akira Toriyama rumor is "absolutely not true".

[dbgtFO]

Hurrah!

Seconded!!!
I mean seriously why would he work on something new? I'm pleased with Dragonball the way it is and that's that, no reason to waste more time in this thread now that we know the truth.

[Drabaz]

Thanks, but who is it quoted from? Master of Manga? Is he a random guy?

From his bio on twitter:

An ongoing project about writing a book about Japanese manga from the point of view of the authors.

Sounds interesting, actually.

Edit: DERP. Guess it would help if I posted his website.

Baseless rumor.
