OH NO! Toriyama lost his favorite wooden pen holder

Post by ATA » Thu Apr 20, 2023 2:30 pm

Howdy 🤠
"After finishing all the episodes, I lost my beloved wooden pen holder that I'd been using since before my debut. It was a pen holder that had become familiar to my hand for a long time, being carved and worn down with a knife and sandpaper...I bought a new pen holder and tried sharpening it this way and that, but it just didn't feel right. Since then, I have used it as an excuse for hardly drawing any manga. *laughs*"

Seems like he doesn't want to draw without that pen holder no more. Will this effect/affect us getting Toriyama drawn modern age DB characters?

The actual source of this quote is not the CBR article, but rather it comes from a recent Q&A put up on the official Sand Land theatrical film website, which we translated in full in a news post.

(The translation on that site seems a little strange, like "after finishing all the episodes"... episodes of what? A manga?)

Toriyama's talking about the timeframe of the original Sand Land manga production from 2000, not anything now, so it has absolutely no bearing on what he may or may not work on these days, 23 years later.

(That said, yes, Sand Land was the last "longer" serialization he did until Jaco in 2013, and that was the last since then.)

He "lost" it? Mmmmhhh why am I thinking that it will magically appear again after his passing? Someone will try to sell it on ebay or similar, I can assure it, even if it is a replica. And it will reach incredible bets, like starwars' level.

So. Toriyama gave an interview this month? In 2023? To talk about his pen? ... interesting...
