This is the good stuff.

Collected here is a whole bunch of links for resources, lists, articles, etc. that tend to extend beyond the normal scope of either an existing section, or "Dragon Ball" / "Akira Toriyama" in general. These are the kinds of things you would/could/should expect to find on a Kanzenshuu-created resource as we spread our wings.

Enjoy!

Dragon Quest

With Akira Toriyama contributing character designs (main characters, monsters, and more!) to the Dragon Quest franchise of video games from the very beginning, you might expect to see some of that all referenced here... and you'd be right! But what if we went beyond the basic research and citations? What if we started documenting manga and anime series that are a little more on the outskirts? Technically they all trace back to Toryiama's designs, so it's open season here for us!

That said, it's unlikely that we'll go so deep as to start doing individual pages for every single monster with things like hit points per game... we'll save that for the game-specific resources out there.

Dragon Quest: A main resource page covering the franchise as a whole, including Toriyama's involvement with character designs, and much more.
Slime Farming Village: The prototype Slime manga one-shot by Osamu Kaneko in V-Jump that led to a giant manga legacy spanning decades!
Dragon Quest I Secret: The Dragonlord's Bari Bari Team: A two-chapter manga series written by Riku Sanjō and illustrated by Kōji Inada that ran in the initial trial run of V-Jump
Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai Extra Edition Outside Story - The Hero Avan: A single-chapter one-shot that ran in the initial trial run of V-Jump that came around as recycled content decades later in manga and anime form
Dragon Quest: Sola in the Blue Sky: A Dragon Quest manga series by Yūki Nakashima that ran in V-Jump from 2013 to 2022.
Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai - The Hero Avan and the Dark Lord of Hellfire: A Dragon Quest manga series — and prequel to the original Adventure of Dai manga — by Yūsaku Shibata that has run in V-Jump since 2020.
Osamu Kaneko: The best English-language resource about the Slime-franchise manga author, including full Slime documentation and notes on his expanded design work.

Sequels/Reboots of Toriyama Works

The Brief Return of Dr. Slump: The only(?!) complete documentation that exists on the internet for this Dr. Slump manga continuation by Takao Koyama and Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru that ran in V-Jump from 1993 to 1996.
Savings Soldier Cashman (1997 Manga): The only(?!) complete documentation that exists on the internet for this Savings Soldier Cashman manga reboot by Takao Koyama and Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru that ran in V-Jump from 1997 to 1998.

Comparative Resources

What corresponds to what? How does that correlate with this other things? Here are some cool lists and other resources that answer some of those questions!

Overlap: An in-progress table aiming to chart the full overlap between original manga chapters, corresponding Viz split-DB/DBZ manga chapter numbering, along with the corresponding original TV episodes and Kai episode versions
Reused Character Names in Akira Toriyama Works: Did you know "Vegeta" existed before Vegeta? How about the other Shallot? Yashimo vs. Yamoshi?

Real World Resources

Dragon Ball is fake, but the real world is... well, real. Here's how they fit together!

Real-world references in Dragon Ball: An in-progress list of all real-world "things" referenced in the Dragon Ball franchise, from the original manga all the way up through modern animated productions
Dragon Ball references in other media: The flip-side of that is Dragon Ball getting referenced in other media!
Real World Timeline: An in-progress chronology of events in the real world that would lead to the creation of the Dragon Ball franchise, as well as the chronology of the development, production, and release of works within and related to it.
Mythology, folklore, and literature references in Dragon Ball‎: An in-progress list of all the mythology, folklore, and literature references (think things like Journey to the West, sure, but also stuff like Urashima Tarō, Momotarō, etc.). There's not much here right now... but there will be someday!
