No, I just say "we don't know". We don't know if the Super Saiyan God reappearance is Toyotaro's or Toriyama's idea. We can't know based on what we know.
It's true but I'd argue that, since Toriyama wanted to step down and Toei had to convince him to continue, Toei is following Toriyama's plot more faithfuly in the Trunks arc and they still didn't show God there.

Anyway, I think it's also possible Toei and Toyotarou regularly meet to discuss what both include and in what way so as to make both mediums relevant to the fans.
That was never confirmed that Toriyama wanted to step down. We literally only have one source that said that.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

I don't really like the portrayals of Muten Roshi and Elder Kaioshin, but whatever. Pan standing next to Goku is a sweet touch. Also, nice outfit for Future Mai.

And when my mother finds me investing my precious time trying to bond with this hot anime girl, I'll look straight into her eyes and say "but have you looked at the menu screen? have you actually seen the menu screen? In that very moment, she knows. She fucking knows. As she handles me the nugget pieces she previously cooked for me, she leaves my room with these words: "Persona 5 is the true savior of the JRPG".

And Broli! And Hit...and Oob...and Burdock & Raditz...and Yajirobe & Karin. Aaaand, why not Beerus, too? Like, Jesus, what's the theme supposed to be here?! :lol:

I think the final page is nice, at least...there's the elder Kaioushin giving a pervy look to Vados...and Kamesennin doing the same to #18 :P (dirty old men, all of them!) But also cute romantic stuff like Gohan and Videl holding hands, and Bulma looking dreamily at her man.
They are all character themed. The first one is Goku and important characters in his adventure, Vegeta, Piccolo, Trunks and then Gohan.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Episode 58 title is Secret of Black and Zamasu. 100000% fake.
The fact it mentions the Namekian Book of Legends alone should clue people in on it being faker than EA's integrity.
So cruel to be teased on something like the Namekian Book of Legends knowing that it could give power ups to someone like Piccolo.

I knew it was fake the moment I saw it.

I love how he's on Piccolo's and vice versa. However, Goku isn't on his and vice-versa.

Has anybody heard of the 10 "leaked" DBS episode titles?? I'm almost sure they're false but...... [spoiler]It says that in episode 58 Goku and Vegeta will get killed, Trunks will return to the past in episode 59 and apparently Universe 6 fighters will get involved. One of the episode titles hints on Bardock coming back, but again, this sounds very very false, because i doubt Toei has the balls to kill off Goku and Vegeta.[/spoiler]

I thought Kei said Toriyama was upset about something but nothing about wanting to leave?

Yup... just Super. It's not like everyone from Z stayed alive or anything.
So? I don't get your point. Mine is that Super won't kill a main character just for the drama in the Arc, besides even if Mirai Trunks is killed they can always revive him with the Dragon Balls, so no tension at all, it would be nice if deceased characters stayed dead.

Me too, is not like their only personality are just some old perv guys.
