He's probably fine for now, saying someone is in "bad health" can mean a lot of things. If he were on death's door or had some other, crazy shit going on, he wouldn't still be funneling story ideas. Anyway, best wishes for him.
Retired.

That isn't completely true. Iwata, President of Nintendo, worked at the company until he died. But we knew he had cancer for over a year, although he claimed he was on the mend.

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.

Apparently, he must monitor his movements, but it's not that serious.

This is why you get all the information. He sounds like Masahiro Sakurai, another Nintendo employee who made the Super Smash Brothers series. He has severe problems with his hands, but still worked despite the pain.

Still take such things with a grain of salt.

Not monitor, but limit how much he moves around.

Best wishes to Toriyama. The man has worked hard for a huge chunk of his life and deserves some freedom.
Do you have any info about international non-English broadcasts about the Dragon Ball anime or manga translations/editions? Please message me. Researching for a future book with Dragon Ball scholar Derek Padula :thumbup:

And that reminds me... If Toriyama needs to retire, shouldn't that "Dragon Ball Room" be active and take lead of this new saga and stuff beyond?
Maybe his health is the reason that room was found.

We know he had help with the Zamasu arc so chances are he's getting help with this arc as well.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

As far as I am aware he was only nudged in that direction from the editorial office, like the U6 arc we are left to presume he pretty much wrote everything himself.

He would not need help with this arc. Someone only gave him an idea for the Goku Black arc.

This is good to know, having toruble in general is a bad thing but movment toruble is a lot less serious then something like lung or other organ troubles.

Hopefully he gets better soon.

There are 12 universes and each one will have 10 fighters, 10 destroyers and 10 Kais so I can see him letting someone design some of the lower characters or coming up with ideas for how characters like Roshi can work while he takes care of the main things.

Those are terrible news, hope Toriyama gets better soon, if it is related to smoking maybe he is having problems to breathe, his chest hurts or something related to that.

It seems like it's a movment related problem so I don't think it's from smoking which we don't know if he still does.

He will say who beats who with basic information about the fights. The characters design should not be a problem for him.

Toei can't decide on what happens to certain characters and Toriyama the others as notbing would make sense.

Obviously you view Roshi as useless.

Stop underestimating Universe 7's fighters!

I really hope Toriyama-Sensei is ok. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.
I think the Dragon Ball room is totally unrelated, personally.

Vegeta in GT was a legitimately good dad unlike Z or Super.
And?
And was a better character than his Super counterpart for sure.

If there's one man on this planet that absolutely cannot die, it is Akira Toriyama Sensei! That's the one person who's life i value above anyone elses. Without him, No proper dragon ball. Or even dragonball at all!

Hope he gets well soon! I will give all my energy towards making a Genki Dama!
