This was announced with Super, he writes the basic plots and designs the characters.
I know but the details of how Toriyama is so strict with his story being followed was mentioned in detail.
People wanted to act as if the guy was pretty much nonexistent. The truth is obviously contrary.

:?:
Toriyama doesn't seem strict at all, he encourages Toyotaro to make changes, if he likes and then when he reviews the storyboards, he's more concerned about getting the gags right than giving feedback on how Toyotaro adapted the story to manga format.

In any case good to see it confirmed that Toyotaro doesn't change the major plotlines, Toriyama laid out, as I always thought.
Sadly, we just missed out on the cherry on top of the cake!

How that is more evidence that he runs Dragon Ball Super is beyond me. Everyone has already said before that he writes a draft/summary/whatever of the storyline. And that is exactly what was mentioned here as well. He does not care much about how that stuff is told in the end.

First of all, to be honest, I'm surprised that he's okay with someone like me carrying on his work! The other thing…I thought Toriyama would be more particular about the story, but he's actually more particular about the gags and the comedic moments! I can tell that he really loves those parts.
It's little details like these that makes me realize how Toriyama is one of a kind.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.
