I know it is too unrelated to the series to have its own guide, but what about a feature listing all of Toriyama's other projects? Nekomajin and Jaco are spin-offs, but he has made many one shots since the end of DB (and even before that, I believe), so I'm interested in reading about them a little. Weren't the "Toriyama the World" books focused on his other works, too?
Also, will there ever be a page for the episode of Dr. Slump in which Goku makes an appearance?

Possible Feature on Toriyama's Other Work?
An interviewer asks, "The soundtrack in Sonic 3 has become legendary. Is it true that you worked with Michael Jackson on it?" Takashi Iizuka kills all of our hopes and dreams by replying, "You know, those are just rumors, and SEGA does not want to say anything about them. So they will forever be just rumors..." WHY!?

+1
I would love to see a feature about the author & his other works, especially the DB related ones (Dr. Slump, Neko Majin, and possibly Jaco).

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.

I assumed your link to Battle of Gods was a joke, but I was not expecting that... haha.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:+1
