He did an amazing job with the Resurrection F manga, this will probably be of the same quality.

It's just Toriyama's F art.
No, it's Toryotaro's art.
I was already corrected and acknowledged this. I thought it was Toriyama because of the muscle size.

The same quality? To me, that means it will suck hard. His manga adaptation was nothing but a bunch of Toriyama imitations framed in random panels that hardly form a manga.

Even if you feel like his artwork is not that great, at least you could have a good story to tell. Good story telling always comes first to me.

I'm with Kei on this. I don't think it will "suck", but Toyotaro is definitely a doujin artist. He also happens to be great at imitating Toriyama's style. I liked the FnF manga but, kind of going along with what Kei said, it was definitely a promotional thing that had a lot of Toriyama imitation in it. As far as an official (and possibly long running) series....I dunno, it's something I feel Toyotaro will have to grow into.

To me "the same quality" means wonderful and perfect. Toriyama's current style is for me beyond off-putting, it's like an untalented 5-year old trying to draw Dragon Ball while Toyotaro's style is precisely what you called it "a bunch of Toriyama imitations". And I freaking love it. The first thing a DB manga should have to be liked by me is precisely "the good old Toriyama" drawings. That's why I love such fanmangas as toyble's AF, Multiverse and Wrong time - they pull what I consider Toriyama's all-time best style off way better then he does now.
So here's hoping for a Toyotaro's manga adaptation.

Who would you rather draw Dragon Ball Super, then? And don't underestimate what Toyble could learn from Toriyama, especially if they work closely together!

Most Dragon Ball fans are incapable of making a logically sound argument.

Isn't the whole reason Toyotaro has a job is because he's good at imitating Toriyama's style and has good work ethic?

I don't know how someone can draw Toriyama-style without imitating it. Not imitating it would require someone to be Akira Toriyama.

They could end up rotating the artists that work on the manga, just like Marvel and DC comics. It would be amazing if they had guest artists do chapters like Eiichiro Oda, and maybe Toriyama could draw the occasional chapter himself.

I think what they're referring to when they say Toyotaro is imitating is that sometimes he will copy an entire panel that Toriyama did, almost as though he traced it, and just change something like the clothing.

I'm hoping Super doesn't follow directly after RoF. I want it to break new ground; develop the younger generation and be completely free to let the story go anywhere. Setting it after RoF would box the show in. Unless the epilogue is completely discarded, the show would have to lead to that status quo. There'd be a subsequent limit to the story possibilities, and a lack of tension/drama because we'd know exactly how everything/everyone ends up.

They could do both. Judging from Masako Nozawa's comments, TOEI is planning/hoping for the series to go on for a long time. Toriyama could also start Super by saying something like "At the end of the last Dragon Ball manga, I showed you how things
might have turned out if there had been 10 years of peace after the defeat of Majin Buu, but now allow me to tell you the story of what really happened..."

THey could set the series after Z and have Beerus and Whis too.
I'm really hoping it takes after EoZ

There was a time when it wasn't the Goku & Vegeta show, it was called Dragon Ball and it was super awesome
I'm only half kidding because Goku is my second favorite character and while I like Vegeta, their same interactions over and over again are kind of stale for me by now. I haven't watched ROF yet, so maybe things have changed and I have no idea, but I'd welcome more of an ensemble cast and also think that the people who claim that DB was always about Goku and Vegeta are kind of ignoring half of the material pretty much.

!
The Saiyan, Namek, and Cell arcs, basically everything up to Super Buu certainly wasn't the Goku & Vegeta show. It was never the Goku & Vegeta show until the Kid Buu arc and these new movies

Namek was my favorite part of Z (in the manga because in the anime the filler was too much) because of the ensemble cast. DB has superb supporting characters so I want to see them around more.

1) He's Professional since he's being paid for it.
2) Name someone, don't just say "someone". Frankly, if someone else drew it, it would be Dragon Ball in another style, because as far as I know, there's nobody who can do the Dragon Ball style better than Toyble.
