Q: What is the relationship between you and master Toriyama? What advice does he give you?
T: Toriyama first writes the scenario and the text, then I create the storyboard, I present it to Toriyama and Shueisha and after their approval I start to draw.
Q: Do you think you have given continuity to what Toriyama did?
T: Yes, this is a series created by Toriyama, so it has to follow its style, but I want to put some of my originality and freshness.
Q: What are these elements of originality?
T: Regarding the story, I keep the narrative arch but I put my own jokes. So Toriyama creates the main things but then I put my own, for example in the choreographies of the fights.
I guess this pretty much confirms that the reason the Black arc was different in the manga wasn't because he changed what was given to him by Toriyama.
This was said by Toyotaro at NCC? Was it an interview?
Do you have the link?

Thanks for that. You got the link by any chance?
Also, I told y'all....Many here just don't understand continuity/canon. It is all done by Toriyama, even the differences.

Yeah and I got it from the announcement topic.
Wow.
So does that even imply that everything Toyotaro does, is reviewed and endorsed by Toriyama and that he creates more of the fighting choreography and jokes?
Would this make things like Vegeta SSG and Merged Zamasu with time limit being something approved by Toriyama?

Yes on both.
What I'd like to know is if this is the case with the anime as well or does he just give them the outline and lets them do whatever with it cause it's very different compared to the manga. Or is the outline so vague that either what Toyotaru and the anime's staff do fits it ?
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

For all intents and purposes, GT has already been gone for years, but I can't help but feel a bit of sentimentality over the thought of it actually being overwritten. That said, it absolutely has to happen eventually.
Hopefully the manga will be quick on these recruitment scenes unlike the anime
Power levels are not just big numbers:
Spoiler:
Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.

I believe they will be skipped.
Toyotaro did say the manga will soon be ahead of the anime.
Twas before the anime was done with Future Trunks that he said that though. Then again, monthly manga chapters ARE longer than weekly ones, so who knows?
The epic tale of how Sean Schemmel blocked me on Twitter:
I tagged him in a thread explaining how his performance wasn't rerecorded when FUNi were redoing parts of the early Z dub for the Orange Bricks.
He thought I was misrepresenting his work by saying he wasn't in something he was in.
I explained how that wasn't the situation & did a bit of a sarcastic kinda thing involving the rerecordings FUNi did for the Z dub to show how stupid that was.
He said they didn't record him & not use his recordings.
Blocked & he deleted his response tweets to me.
???
Profit...?
Just like Oob is meant to be Goku's successor, Toyotaro is seemingly meant to be Toriyama's successor. Perhaps Toriyama will hand control of the series to Toyotaro once the story gets past the end of the Dragon Ball manga ending. However, we know what happens with Goku's successors...so I'm unsure about how long that'd last.

Maybe he will skip the USA arc and jump right into the Eoz, that would be a smart strategy for his manga to get a lot of attention and More recognition

The anime team changes a lot more because they have to turn everything into episodes and make it a weekly series.

This isn't anything new, we already know the answer to it: Toriyama writes the outline with the plot points he wants for the story and both Toei and Toyotarou decide how to go from point A to B to C. In this arc, they went in somewhat separate ways but they still "have" to include what Toriyama wrote.
