Tales from the Daizenshuu

[Toriyama Boss]

HERMS YOU ARE THE MAN! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT INFO!

[testing223]

herms, you are the freaking MAN. Thanks so much.

Would you be able to post a scan of the sides of the big poster? The images of the bad guys sound interesting.

In fact, is there any Unique Toriyama art that hasn't been seen anywhere else?

Awww...you're welcome. I'm glad people have enjoyed this thread.

Anyway, I don't have a scanner, but this old thread has several different scans of that poster of varying quality, most of them on the third page.

As for unique Toriyama art...the covers were all unique pictures. Toriyama's introductions to each of the hardcover daizenshuu were accompanied by a different self-portrait of Toriyama as the Tori-bot. Toriyama's closing comments for Daizenshuu 7 has a picture of Goku waving goodbye with it. Daizenshuu 7 also includes a section of rare Toriyama illustrations which I think did all originally appear elsewhere, but at this point would probably be impossible to find outside that daizenshuu. Daizenshuu 4's pullout poster has Toriyama's rough sketches of potential character designs for characters (SSJ3 Goku with a tail, all sorts of crazy designs for Cell), and the title pages for the different sections of that daizenshuu have more rough sketches as background (for instance, the title page for the field section has Toriyama's rough sketches of different locations, such as Kaiou's planet). Daizenshuu 6 has the character designs that Toriyama made for some of the movie villans, and the TV Animation Guide ones have some designs he made for filler characters. That's probably a few other things like that.

Would we be able to see a few of those foldout posters?


Also, haha, you misinterpreted what I meant with my earlier request. I didn't mean a scan of the BIG everyone poster, I meant a scan of the sides that had the villains' faces. You said:


"The first big thing is the pullout poster. Unlike the hardcover daizenshuu, which all had one side of their pullout posters be their cover design, this one has a unique illustration on each side. On one side if a picture of SSJ3 Goku with the faces of Piccolo Daimaou, Freeza, Cell, and Buu behind him."

I'm thinking about buying the daizenshuus and run them through a translator! Or better yet, learn japansese myself because these books are frickin' amazing!

Well, Daizenshuu EX has the foldout poster from Daizenshuu 4 up here, divided into several sections. Other than that, well...I really need to buy a scanner. And learn how to use a scanner in the first place. That would probably help.

Also, haha, you misinterpreted what I meant with my earlier request. I didn't mean a scan of the BIG everyone poster, I meant a scan of the sides that had the villains' faces.

D'oh! Sorry about that. Well, I still have no scanner....and no daizenshuu right now, either. After 3 1/2 weeks of wonderful vacation, I'm now back at college. I didn't take any of my daizenshuu with me (the car was packed enough...), so I'm not going to be real good for answering any questions, unless it's something I can remember off the top of my head. However, I did bring two more compact Dragon Ball-related items, which I'll probably get to later in the semester.

Herms, Could you write down what Daizenshuu 7 says about Son Goku's Battle Power Growth Chart pp.82-83?

Thank you!

Now that I'm back at college, I'm a six hour drive away from my daizenshuu. So unless I bust out some Toomi no Jutsu, I won't be able to until early March. Sorry.

This threadhas scans of the battle power chart from Glenat's French translation of Daizenshuu 7, though.
