What in DB would you like to be expanded?

An interesting concept would be to expand the Divine Hierarchy in the cosmos by introducing more deities and divine beings, for example a God of X who serves the Kaioshin.

The Namekian book of legends. It was just mentioned so casually like it's not all that important, but the potential is huge.
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:

Zalama the Dragon God. The origins of the Super Dragon Balls. The origins of the Gods. Who created the cosmos (I mean, there had to be something before the Supreme Kais came to be). The origins of the Grand Priest and the Angels.

Basically all of this background stuff about the Gods which I'm sure will be revealed some day. Mystery can't last forever.

Also, and this is more story-specific, I'd like to see how exactly Zamasu dealt with Jiren, Broly, Moro, Granolah, etc. basically all antagonists who came after his arc. I can easily headcanon away what happened with these fools, but some confirmation would be nice. I'm expecting that this kind of storyline would be dealt with in a videogame, as videogames love having villains from different arcs interact with each other.

Plus just because the Future timeline is gone from existence doesn't mean it can't be expanded upon in its lore.
At his core Zamasu is good like Shin, though I guess you could say he was so fastidious that it backfired. But you know, for this "Future Trunks Arc" you had to depict Zamasu and Trunks' inner conflict, right? If this was back when I was drawing the manga myself then I doubt if I could have done it. I mean, I'm not very good at depicting the characters' psychology on the page. So this all came together because now I only have to think up the story. [...] On my own, I doubt I would have been able to express Zamasu's fall to the dark side.

• Makaio and Makaioshin.

• Demon Realm.

• Alternate dimension.

• Multiverse and gods (explanation/backstory/origin. Not more gods. I don't think it needs more considering the ones already there aren't even being explored/explained properly).

• Metamoruseijins and Tsufurujins.

• Dragon Ball Online (Xenoverse and Heroes already did it, but considering Toriyama would obviously do it differently, I'd like to see that).

• Yamoshi and the original Super Saiyan God.

I'm really curious about Toriyama's Makai and Makaios, but at the same time fear it could get influenced by things like DBX and SDBH.

Anything to do with the Nameless Namekian, the split, Daimao's reign of terror, and the aftermath with Roshi. Also, stories from when Grandpa Gohan was raising Goku, both rabid and peaceful.

a legit telling of Vegeta's past. Not this hinting that Vegeta might or might not have done this and that from other characters and amidst a bigger plot about Goku and Saiyans and God, but about Vegeta, from Vegeta with Vegeta, what and who he didnt know. I couldnt care less about his "redemption" or VegeBul as written in DBS manga, i care about how he even knew Raditz and Bardock, or what the heck Tarble was up to all those years, or the true connection between Vegeta and Yamoshi as he looks exactly like him and even ascended alone to SSG.

This is wistful because neither Toriyama or anyone is the kind to tell that kind of story, and in fact i enjoy all the "offscreen" ness about Vegeta, but i still dream.

Who gets told it's his fault for being so careless? Goku.
Who has to live with that similar to how he wanted to make Freeza live with the fact he'd been beaten by what he considered trash, and have to live with that shame? Goku.
Freeza got the perfect revenge.

The origin of the God of Destruction. I do believe Beerus was not the first GoD in Universe 7.
