Modern Dragon Ball Stories Implement Ideas That Toriyama Did Not Get to Implement in the Original Series

A lot of the stories we have seen in modern Dragon Ball (Super and Daima) contain many plot points that Toriyama had on his mind for years during the time period between the end of the original series and the advent of Battle of Gods. This can be seen within multiple works of his: Sachie-chan GOOD!!, Jiya, Sand Land, Neko Majin Z, Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!, Dragon Ball Online, and Kintoki.

Ideas from these works:
How modern Dragon Ball implemented these ideas:
Essentially, it can be seen that these modern Dragon Ball stories served as a medium for Toriyama to implement idea that he likely had on his mind for years. A lot of this stuff really did not come from a vacuum, these are concepts that have been around in different forms for a while now. This is just Toriyama implementing them into one continuity. Even if you only focus on the main stories that Toriyama was most hands-on with (Battle of Gods, Resurrection F, Broly, Super Hero, and Daima), you can see the majority of these idea be represented in all of the projects.

• Bardock being a loving father and starting to lean into the "good territory" also come from Dragon Ball Online.

• It's not stated that Kaioshin of Time holds a higher position than Kaioshin of East. So as far as we know, they belong to the same "tier" (and I think the same goes for the Gods of Destruction).

• There's a filler in Dragon Ball Super about Tenshinhan having a dojo, as well as Mister Satan being an actor. Straight from Dragon Ball Online.

• Vegetto's appearance in Future Trunks saga is Toyotaro's idea, not Toriyama's.

• It is not yet confirmed Makaios and Makaioshins will appear in Dragon Ball Daima.
