I assume he wrote "winder" to sound hickish, like how some people pronounce "pillow" as "piller." Of course, you know what they say about when you assume.

Nope, I just goofed.

Thanks linkdude.

Wow...he really is the worst

One Piece readers get SBS...and Dragon Ball readers got this.

Still...somehow this just makes me like the man even more. I love how he always complains about work and having to water his dad's Banzai trees. He kind of reminds me of Hiramaru Kazuya from Bakuman. xD

Yeah, I love that about Toriyama. He's not perfect, he isn't obsessed with his work or his craft. He's a normal guy and I think that shows in his work. He doesn't have any concrete ideas about writing or demographs, he just writes what pleases him at the moment. It's his honesty that makes him so relatable.

I'll agree that he doesn't put in as much work as Oda but it's unfair to compare this to the SBS. A better comparison would be his "Ask Me Anything Corner", even that is much more meta.

Pretty sure Kazuya is supposed to be based off of Gintama's author.

Still enjoying these. X3

I guess we won't find out what happened to those missing kittens.

Where were those sparrows that a snake got to them? O_O;;

The Bonsai tree saga amuses me every time it pops up. XD

I agree.

Also, Herms, thank you for doing this.

Yeah, and what's more, Oda likewise writes little comments like this in each Jump issue. I haven't checked them out myself, but I doubt they're much more in-depth than Toriyama's. They're just supposed to be short comments on what's up with them.

Greg W translated several of Oda's author comments which you can see here: http://www.thegrandline.com/odatoc.htm And yep, pretty similar to Toriyama's. For instance here's the most recent he's got up there from 2011:

Got myself an automated can opener. I can open cans with ease!! MUST OPEN CANS!!

Alright, I guess that wasn't a fair comparison.

I think all those "DragonballZ is srs business" guys should give this a read.

One of my relative’s kids thinks that I’m just this old guy who’s really good at Dragon Ball fanart. (1987, No.18, c118)

That is just brilliant.

I've only skimmed through these, but I'm loving it already.

I wonder if he'll get hooked on Dragon Quest III in 1988.

This cracked me up!

Just wondering, did Toriyama actually refer to his console as an NES or did you just change that for the translations. Wouldn't he actually say the Famicom since he was (and still is) living in Japan at the time?
