If Toei hadn't requested the Future Trunks arc?

[Fizzer]

What do you think would have happened if Toei hadn't asked Toriyama to write a story about Future Trunks, like we hear they did?

Do you think we would have gone straight into the Universe Survival arc, or got a different version of the Black/Zamasu arc without Future Trunks in it?

What might that have been like?

[sintzu]

It seems like Super and modern DB as a whole is a collaboration between Toriyama, Toyotarou & what ever the "editorial office" is so we just would've gotten something else. I don't think we would've gotten the current arc as that would put 2 tournaments one after the other, something I doubt they'll ever do.

Maybe the next movie's story was something Toriyama had planned for Super but they decided it'd be better for a movie.

[MR.Mark]

It's kinda funny that both the original manga and Super arcs featuring Trunks was an overall result of other people giving Toriyama suggestions.

In the end both arcs had there moments, Zamasu was a stronger Villain than Cell in the end imo though.

[ToshioWrites]

Probably a planet Sadala arc and then the Universe Survival arc.

I'd disagree. I honestly found Zamasu to be a really poorly written character. He comes off to me as a 15 year old filled with angst whose opinions are filled with paradox and logical fallacies.

Cell on the other hand at least had an interesting personality even if he didn't have a "backstory" beyond being created.

Technically, he was a 15 years old. Even though he was probably born centuries before the beginning of Dragon Ball, he was a teenager by Shinjin's standards (who can live up to 75.000 years).

He's too popular, especially in the games to just be left at what we got so we'll see him eventually.

[Xeogran]

Super would never be as well liked/popular as it is.

Let's be honest, Future Trunks' return, Goku Black and Zamasu brought a lot of people on the board. The arc was just so hype with each new episode. There was lots to discuss and theorize about, so the fandom became pretty lively too.

And before DB and DBZ was always heavily influenced by his editors.

[sintzu]

DB and DBZ was always heavily influenced by his editors.

It's more now as the original manga only credited him as the writer and artist, unlike now where he's just credited with the rough draft.

Is "rough draft" the exact credit he's given? Anyone else?

On the manga's collected editions he's credited with the story while Toyotarou is with the art.

On the anime's page here on Kanzenshuu it says "Story & Character Draft — Akira Toriyama"

I don't know a lot about how things go on behind the scenes so I could be understanding something wrong so don't take my words as 100% facts.

The word "rough" isn't used, then.

Aren't draft and rough draft close to each other ?

If a draft is rough it clearly means less work has been put into it than a draft that is not rough.

Was it confirmed that the Future Trunks arc was a Toei idea?

Was it confirmed that the Future Trunks arc was a Toei idea?

I don't think so, no. But I'm pretty sure It wasn't Toriyama’s original idea. However, Black was.

[Kanassa]

Was it confirmed that the Future Trunks arc was a Toei idea?

All we know is that somone at TOEI suggested to Toriyama that Future Trunks comes back
