Toriyama and Dragon Boxes

Post by Zetto » Thu Sep 24, 2015 7:19 am

I saw Toriyama made a sketch for every Dragon Box, along with saying some things about the release but I noticed there's nothing for Dragon Ball's Dragon Box. Is that correct?
Possibly one of the biggest

There isn't anything on it's page here so I doubt there's anything for it.

In terms of why,maybe it's due to DB not being as popular as Z.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

That is correct. For some unknown reason, Toriyama did not write a comment or provide an illustration for the Dragon Ball "Dragon Box". It's the only one that doesn't have one, unfortunately.

I'm pretty sure it's probably because the Dragon Ball Dragon Box was out first and Toei didn't think about it when putting it together. Then with the release of Z, they probably thought it would be a cool thing to contact Toriyama and get him to do something for the release, which became standard from then on.

Nope, that's not it. It was smack in the middle of all the other releases. So who knows what happened.

Wow really? Hm, that's odd. Maybe he was away on vacation that week or something.
