Questions you would ask Toriyama

I'd ask him to put me in his will so I can get all of his artwork and everything he has that relates to Dragonball, and money cough cough.

Sounds more like a demand or a wish rather than a question.

Who is the strongest Buu?

Gohan-absorbed Super Buu.

Really? I would have thought it was Kid Buu... though I guess you could argue either way, really.

Um not really, we've actually had extensive discussions littered with evidence that proves Buuhan is the strongest.

No, seeing as how Goku was capable of fighting and actually beating Kid Buu without being completely overwhelmed and near-instantly slaughtered. Nobody but Vegetto could even hope to contend with Gohan-Buu.

Call me crazy, but I think the fact that this subject continues to come up and continues to turn out the same way says a bit too much about ... Hmm... many things, I suppose.
(The fanbase? The evolution of the series? The anime? The dub? I can't pick...

).

Code: Select all

What are you trying to imply, I don't understand.

Well, excuse me for not being around during those "extensive discussions."

Fair enough.

My questions for Toriyama:

1) Does Neko Majin and Neko Majin Z star the same Neko Majin?

2) Will you ever write a series of one-shots showing us how Neko Majin and Goku met, and how Neko Majin became his desciple?

3) Did Thunderbolt win the 29th or 30th budokai?

4) Will you ever make your own manga version of Tarble's story?

5) What species is Grey, and why do they show up in everything you've been doing lately?

6) Does Onio exist somewhere in the Dragonball Universe? Why is his spaceship and his wife's clothes the same as those of Grey's race?

7) Which is Freeza's race's true form?

8) Do you have any plans to continue Dragonball in any way in the future (one-shots or otherwise)?

Excellent questions, Dayspring, along with mine.

Those questions are sure to get a bs respone from a man who only thinks about Dragonball in his spare time. Toriyama the human being is more important to me than Toriyama the manga writer. Because I know about what he wrote, it would be more interesting to see the person being the manga.

Wow. Elitist, much?

At the very best, we could hope for answers that are b.s. on purpose, like Eiichiro Oda does for One Piece.

Q: "How does Zoro speak with a sword in his mouth?"
A" He speaks with his HEART!"

Q: "How far can Luffy stretch his arms?"
A: "About 40 gomu-gomus now, but he hopes to train so he can reach 100 gomu-gomus!"

Sweet Dende, I love that manga-ka.

I actually don't think he was trying to be elitist or rather meant for that to come off as elitist. Plus I can see his point. Of course I believe that Toriyama appreciates his own work but at the same time, the man has the memory of a seive and just doesn't put as much thought into it as a bunch of crazy geeks on a mesage board dedicated to said work does. To deny that in my opinion is just fooling oneself. I know would interested definitely in learning more about his personal life. I would have questions for both areas really is what I'm saying.

"What are the power levels of every character at every point in the series? (provide equations to show how different transformations effected power levels)"

"What exactly is included in the official canon? (provide explanations for plotholes as needed)"

"How exactly do the different timelines work? (show your work)"

"How does real world science apply to all of the fictional elements of the Dragon World?"

"Was XXXX powerful enough to blow up the world/a galaxy/the universe?"

These are the questions I would NOT ask because, first of all, Toriyama-sensei probably wouldn't know or had never thought the deeply about them, and secondly, they make no difference in my enjoyment of the series (though that doesn't seem to be the case for a lot of people around here

).

My REAL question is this: "So, what really happened between Vegeta and Bulma? And you could you give a prize of an autographed picture of the aforementioned characters in a compromising position to the person whose fanfic came closest to the truth?"
