Do you think Akira Toriyama has ever visted Kanzenshuu?

Post by FindKenshi » Sun Mar 24, 2013 1:11 am

How epic would it be if Akira Toriyama registered and posted on Kanzenshuu even just once.

He'd find a topic about something he forgot about and would be like "Oh, I guess I did that".

No but I'd be crazy if he did. Mike & crew would probably....I don't even know.

He'd post asking whether or not something he read on the DB wikia was true.

I think he has better things to do in his time then go on some English DB website. It would be funny if he was like "WTF is this is shit?!" when he reads over stupid topics :lol: .

No, I think he actually has a life.

But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

He has no time for internetting on forums so long as there are Dragon Quest games.

I think it's more than likely that people from Toei have taken a look around on more than one occasion. Market research is a big thing.

The only thing I could think of is Toriyama chatting with someone while helping out with BOG and them indirectly mentioning Kanzenshuu while briefly mentioning all the cover BOG has been getting on the net, but even that seems really farfetched. But still it would be epic if he posted here at least once.

For a site that strives to be one of the most authoritative sources of information and breaking news, I'm a bit surprised that at least an attempt hasn't been made to reach out to Akira Toriyama. One can't really be the most authoritative Dragonball site if the creator of the series doesn't even know you exist :D

I think contacting Toriyama would be a near-impossible feat.
The OP Podcast still hasn't (but got close to last year) meeting Oda, and I'd think it'd be easier to meet him than Toriyama.


But wow would that be the most interesting Kanzenshuu Podcast episode ever; round-table between the Kanzenshuu staff and Toriyama (with Julian to act as translator between Toriyama and Mike).

Well, we are geeks and freaks here.... Toriyama is not, he did it as a job.
As my girlfriend said last time: ''Again lookin' on that dumb dregun bowl forum?'' I think, that normal mortals aren't much interested in this gallore of otakus and sociopaths to even try to visit here :lol: :lol: :lol:

He would show up and settle a years long-standing power level debate regarding a movie character, and then we would never hear from him again.

Sadly, people wouldn't believe it. They'd just think they were being trolled and flame the poor guy to oblivion.
