Looking for a Toriyama interview

Post by hellobooboo14 » Thu Nov 24, 2016 7:05 am

Sorry, but I don't where to put this. Anyway, after watching a YouTube video, the person mentions that in a interview, Akira Toriyama said according to LSM "the ultimate God and the highest God of Dragonball is Akira Toriyama".

From 8.44 to 8.53

I was wondering does anyone know what interview LSm is talking about?

That doesn't sound like a real interview. He likely misquoted Daizenshuu 7's Character Dictionary.
Daizenshuu 7: Character Dictionary wrote:Toriyama Akira
The author
History:Born in the year 1955. A manga artist.
First Appearance: chapter 480
Special Characteristics: The ultimate ruler of the DB world, and a far, fa~ar greater person than even Kaioshin. His likes include cars, bikes, plastic models, movies, dogs, and women. His dislikes include having his ideas rejected by his editor, rats, and his job.
Battles: For over 10 years, he bravely battled against having his editor reject his ideas. You should be intensely grateful.
I listened to that section of your video. It's not sourced and he doesn't reference where it might have originated. He just claimed it and left it at that! If Toriyama did say that, I'd be curious to find its Kanzenshuu entry. That boldness is uncharacteristic of him.
