We can send in questions to Toriyama? O_O

My mind's a blank atm, but I'll think of something.

I got the same impression. Quick, someone ask him which Boo is stronger, Gohan vs Dabra, Kaioushin power-up and any other debate that is plaguing the fandom for years :lol:

Finally, we are going to get confirmation from the author that LSS Broly is the strongest being in Dragon Ball history. 8)
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Holy fuck an online Toriyama question and answer???? Ask him how fast the characters are by now! Are you moving at relativistic speeds? Light Speed? Could Cell really have wiped out the Solar System with his kamehamheha? FUCKUFKCFUKCUFC

Everybody send him the debate questions such as the Boo's, Ultimate Gohan vs SSJ3 Goku, SSJ Gotenks vs Fat Boo, etc.

Chances are he wouldn't answer them though.

No offense to anyone, but if strength questions are actually what end up getting answered rather than world or character based stuff, I'm going to be severely disappointed. The chance to ask Toriyama any questions you want has soooo many more possibilities than who's stronger than who! :P That said though, I honestly can't think of a single one to send through myself, nothing that someone else wouldn't already think of anyway.

lol implying that Toriyama even remembers enough to answer these questions.

I have mad respect for him since he created Dragonball and all...but he's infamous for having a notoriously bad memory.

If this is really true, we should choose a group of questions from the whole Kanzenshuu community and have the members who know Japanese translate them (kei, being Japanese, could supervise it and be sure the questions are understandable and correctly written). :D

Just ask if Battle of Gods has given him inspiration to continue the Dragon Ball manga.

Hey Kei, I do believe this Heroes attack combination was introduced specifically on Battle of Gods related cards in GM7 (I've never seen it before): http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... FIdE#t=41s

I know the combination attack itself isn't in the movie, but is Goku's new Kamehameha based on one from the film?

Seriously speaking, the questions will most likely be supervised so I doubt they will all be about "who is stronger than who" if any, really.

There are lots of questions I'd like to ask, most about Battle of Gods right now. But there is always a chance the next two Chozenshu could fill in those gaps, so I'd like some information on Freeza's "race"; can we finally have an official name for it? are they a single gender species, or have we just not seen females? do all of them have transformations? Stuff like that...
