What would you ask Toriyama?

Post by BrollysKin » Tue Mar 27, 2007 2:11 am

So I was thinking about this thread for a while. I wanted to think of something somewhat original, and I decided that this one would be an interesting one to see different ideas.

If you could ask Mr Akira Toriyama one question. One question to end all debate, what would it be. One canon answer.

How fast do the characters travel? Explain the timeline. Hell, even what breast cup size is videl? He would answer only one.

What is it and why?

I would ask, "What fusion is stronger? Vegetto or Gogeta?"

I would probably ask him if Tenshinhan was an alien. You never know. :lol:

For your question I think its Vegetto since Kaioshin states the Potara is stronger than the Fusion Dance.

I would ask him where he originally intended to end the series.

BTW, Gogeta is stronger, in my book since h can go SSJ4.

And i would ask him why he is so lazy to not continue the series in some freak way.

Cause, he was tired of it, he was working on it for such a long time that he just can't do it no more and that why he stopped.
I would ask him "Which Buu is the strongest?" Hah! Take that Magento!

I'd ask him if his thoughts on fandom today. Dub v. Sub arguments, Other Comic book characters v. Gohan, crap like that. But a question to end a debate, I'd go with the whole 'strength of the characters in the Buu arc' question.

When did he want it to end? A lot of people say Freeza, but I've heard people say he wanted it to end with them finding the Dragon and making a wish. Which is pretty believeable.

Oh and Tony I agree that SSJ4 Gogeta is stronger than SSJ Vegetto. I'm talking in terms of both of them being at the same level, in which case Vegetto would be stronger. Like I think SSJ Vegetto is stronger than SSJ Gogeta, but not by much, same goes for both if they both achived SSJ4.

I know that he wanted to end Dragonball after Goku took off with Chi-Chi too and after Frieza. From what I had read he wanted to end it every saga after the 22nd tenkaichi budokai, but I'm not sure about post-cell.

I'd say, 'Luffy is my favorite characrter! How'd you come up with his wide range of Gomu-gomu abilites?!'

'I did...?'

'Yes, you did! It's amazing!'

'I guess I did... I had to really think about it...'

Well, having seen those sketches Toriyama did while designing ssj3, I'd ask why the form in some of those early sketches gave Goku his tail back, and why he decided to ditch the idea of returning it to him with the new level.

I'd ask him if he's taught his son Sasuke how to draw at all, and if so, does he want him to follow in his footsteps.

I'd ask him to sign my bra.

Er, I mean, for a signed sketch of Bra... I mean, Erasa. Provided he can remember who that is.

I might ask Mr. Toriyama who intended to be stronger: SSJ3 Goku or Gohan against Super Buu?
