>Now that Dragon Ball Super Volume 1 illustrated by Toyotarō-sensei is in stores, I wanted to interview the two of you. Thank you both for your time.

Toriyama:
Thank you.

Toyotarō:
Thank you, this is an honor!

>This manga mostly consists of the “Universe 6 Arc”. How did you come up with this story?

Toriyama:
With the “Battle of Gods Arc” and “Revival of ‘F’ Arc” it was one tense story after another, so this time I wanted to have something relatively simple and cheerful… That was what got the ball rolling. I figured I should change up the pace.

Toyotarō:
The “Universe 6 Arc” is Dragon Ball‘s first tournament in a long time!

Toriyama:
I had tournaments for a little bit at the very start and end of the “Majin Boo Arc”, but I pretty much left those hanging (laughs).

Toyotarō:
In that last one, Goku took off with Oob in the very first match. [Actually the second match]

Toriyama:
Yeah (laughs). Whenever I go re-read my own manga volumes to think up new story ideas, I’m always amazed at how much I’ve forgotten (laughs).

>Toyotarō-sensei, in your opinion what makes Toriyama-sensei‘s artwork so appealing?

Toyotarō:
I’m not sure I can put it into words, but, well… His characters are perfectly stylized, and his objects are very detailed. With a single image he paints a picture of an entire world… But words just can’t do it justice. There’s an indescribable sense of excitement that pulses through me whenever I read his work!

>You’ve loved Dragon Ball since you were a child, so how does it feel to be drawing it yourself now?

Toyotarō:
But I’m not! Not at all… The more I draw, the clearer the gap between me and Toriyama-sensei becomes (sweat).

Toriyama:
That’s not true! You might be the closest person to match my art style, even counting the animators.

Toyotarō:
No way!

Toriyama:
You’re really good at composition! It looks so cool; these days there’s no way I could draw such energetic artwork! Whenever I supervise anime and whatnot, there’s always something that bugs me and that I’ll ask to have fixed. But when I look at your storyboards, I can just take it easy. I can give it the OK in no time flat; it really makes things convenient (laughs).

Toyotarō:
Oh no… This whole time I was afraid of adding to your frustrations. Since the original story you give me is text, I constantly have your manga by my side as I draw. I don’t want readers to say it doesn’t feel like Dragon Ball… But at the same time, I also want to stretch my imagination and come up with brand new action and different kind of expressions.

Toriyama:
Just go wild! I won’t mind a bit (laughs).

>Toriyama-sensei, what advice do you have for Toyotarō-sensei?

Toriyama:
Frankly… I’m perfectly satisfied with things the way they’re going (laughs).

Toyotarō:
U-Um… Really? There’s nothing you think needs to be fixed or thrown out? Don’t hold back for my sake… (sweat).

Toriyama:
Hahahaha (loud laughter). Not really… (thinks about it a little bit). Nope, not a thing! Well OK… If I have to say something, then I guess your compositions would be even better if you utilized more diverse angles. Also, I think it would be great if you included more of your own original ideas. I’m really grateful to you. I never thought an artist like you would come along to draw the continuation of my story!
>>
Toyotaro sounds like he really likes working with Toriyama

Wonder how he's supposed to catch up to the anime though.

Finally, could you tell us just a little bit about where the story of Dragon Ball Super is heading?

Toriyama:
I’ve got an idea for a story about the “future” of “a certain somebody”. And I’m thinking of combining that together with a new “universe”. It’ll be simple enough for kids to enjoy… hopefully (laughs).

Toyotarō:
“A certain somebody”…It’s someone I’m a huge fan of! I’m really looking forward to it!!

Tori-Toyo Interview: (Web Version)
>Toyotarō-sensei, what aspect of Toriyama-sensei‘s pictures do you find difficult to draw?

Toyotarō:
Since at first glance Toriyama-sensei‘s pictures are so simple, back when it was running in Jump all us kids felt like we could draw them. But when you actually try, it turns out totally different. No matter what you do, you can’t draw a “real” Goku…

Toriyama:
I suppose that’s true. Heck, even when professional animators draw it, I sometimes feel like they get it wrong (laughs). My style is simple, but I guess that’s actually what makes it so tricky. Perhaps only I truly understand it.
In the “30th Anniversary Dragon Ball Super History Book”, various artists submitted their own Dragon Ball illustrations. Many of them noted how even though the style is so simple, it’s impossible to imitate.

Toriyama:
Well… Even I’m hopeless at imitating other people’s styles (laughs).

>And yet everyone still had a lot of fun drawing their illustrations.

Toriyama:
I’m glad to hear it! I’ll have to thank them if I ever get the chance. Speaking of reproducing my style, Toyotarō-san is amazing at it!

Toyotarō:
No no, not at all! Seriously… The more I draw, the more I realize the gap between us… (sweat).

Toriyama:
Don’t be so hard on yourself! You might actually be the closest to my style. There aren’t many people who can manage that! Well, maybe there are people who can imitate my pictures, but not many artists can pull off an entire chapter the way you can! Your storyboards are really tight!

>Speaking of the manga, I want to ask you two about how you put the manga together. I hear Toriyama-sensei checks the storyboards for each chapter.

Toriyama:
That’s right.

Toyotarō:
Since Chapter 1 I’ve used Toriyama-sensei‘s plot as a basis, but have been allowed to expand on it.

Toriyama:
It’s better that way.
>>
>Toyble forgot about Pan vs Mokekko

And this faggot is writing Dragon Ball
>>
>Back when Toriyama-sensei was drawing the manga, the animators would use his manga panels as reference, imitating the composition and things like that. And now it seems that the animators are likewise using Toyotarō-sensei‘s manga as reference.

Toriyama:
Oh, that’s good! That should keep them on track!

Toyotarō:
Really?… I still can’t believe I lucked into this job (sweat).

>Toyotarō-sensei, do you have any questions about the manga for Toriyama-sensei?

Toyotarō:
My question’s so trivial I’m kind of ashamed, but… why does Super Saiyan Blue have blue hair?

Toriyama:
In Battle of Gods it was red, so I figured for Revival of “F” I should go with blue. That’s all (laughs). Well, actually I was thinking about having it be white, but then it would color-clash with the “next enemy”… so I figured I should save it for another occasion (laughs).

Toyotarō:
… I get the feeling I’ve just heard something amazing (laughs). Lord Beerus and Whis turn up in Dragon Ball Super, and have become an unsurpassable wall for Goku and the gang. What do the two of them mean to you?

Toriyama:
Well… First off, right now I don’t have any plans for Goku and Vegeta to surpass Beerus and Whis.

Toyotarō:
Ever since Battle of Gods, Beerus and Whis have become central figures.

Toriyama:
If it hadn’t been for those two, making any more story after that would have been a nightmare. There wouldn’t have been anything to expand upon. That’s why I’m so glad to have them around. And their voices are good, too! Those voice artists are so talented!

Toyotarō:
Beerus is voiced by Kōichi Yamadera, and Whis is voiced by Masakazu Morita.

>I hear that in early drafts of the script for Battle of Gods, Beerus was a more stereotypical God of Destruction, an extremely evil and frightening character. [In Yūsuke Watanabe’s original Battle of Gods script draft (as detailed in an interview with DVD & Blu=ray Vision Magazine), Beerus was a lizard that was responsible for infecting the Saiyans with evil.]

Toriyama:
Yeah, in the early version he did all kinds of bad stuff.

Toyotarō:
But ultimately he changed into being someone who’s still scary, but not actually hateful. More in keeping with the spirit of Dragon Ball, one might say.

Toriyama:
Yeah, thanks to those two the world has expanded out to include other universes. I’m really grateful to the screenwriter who came up with the whole “God of Destruction” idea.

>Could you talk just a bit about where the plot is going to go in future?

Toyotarō:
I’ve read the plot for the new story, and I’m really happy a certain future-related character is going to be involved. I’m a huge fan!

Toriyama:
That’s a pretty popular character! Hopefully the kids will be happy.

>Speaking of children, I’m sure when Toyotarō-sensei was a child he avidly read Toriyama-sensei‘s manga right as it came out. Is any part a particular favorite of yours?

Toyotarō:
I really like the very start of the Majin Boo arc, when Gohan is attending Orange Star High School. I guess because it was so laid back.

Toriyama:
Yeah! I really liked that part too… (laughs)

Toyotarō:
Had you already come up with Majin Boo when you were drawing that part?

Toriyama:
… Nope (laughs). I’m pretty sure I just kept on drawing without a clue Majin Boo was going to turn up. I enjoyed working on that part, but eventually I figured it was time to come up with a new enemy… Even though I would have liked to just go on with the “slice of life” stuff… (laughs)

(Everyone laughs)
Toyotarō:
Peace is good, too (laughs). I really liked the laid-back outlook of your Savings Warrior Cashman manga that ran in V-Jump, and other things from that period.

>But while the children back then enjoyed the “slice of life” material, they still wanted battles… (laughs)

Toriyama:
They sure did (laughs).

Toyotarō:
While enjoying the everyday stuff, they’re waiting for the battles to come (laughs).
At the time Son Gohan was turning into the main character, wasn’t he?

Toriyama:
Yeah! I figured Goku was getting old, and it was time to switch over to the next generation.

Toyotarō:
That’s what Goku himself said in the Majin Boo arc.

Toriyama:
But drawing Gohan’s daily life made me gradually realize he likes studying more than fighting (laughs). Later on he even lost his dōgi (laughs).

Toyotarō:
Now he’s fulfilled his childhood dream and become a fine scholar.

>So far Dragon Ball Super has followed Toriyama-sensei‘s plot, but I think it might be interesting for Toyotarō-sensei to become more involved with the story-writing process from here on out!
Toriyama:
Good idea!! I bet it’ll make it more interesting to include Toyotarō-sensei‘s original ideas.

Toyotarō:
T-That’s so much pressure… (sweat). But I think it’ll be really cool to help Dragon Ball someday reach its final chapter.

Toriyama:
Oh, that’s good! People will go “Wow, Toriyama-sensei planned it all out from the beginning!” and I’ll look really cool (laughs).


On a personal note, I'm a big fan of the Great Saiyaman stuff too

38 - The martial arts tournament between Universe 6 and Universe 7 with Earth on the line. Vegeta's last opponent is Hit, the strongest man of Universe 6. Vegeta, watching Hit's eerily calm demeanor, is quite sure he's strong. Hit is an assassin proud to have the greatest skill of Universe 6.

39

Version 1:

"The counterattack of the developed "Tokitobashi" (Time Skipping?)!?
Will it appear!? Goku's new technique!"

Vegeta challenges Hit using Super Saiyajin Blue but Hit's technique, "Tokitobashi", deals a barrage of hits in his vital points and makes him faint. Son Goku is able to guess how Hit's "Tokitobashi" works and thus, while in Super Saiyajin Blue state, he also challenges Hit.

ACTUAL SPOILERS: DO NOT READ AT OWN RISK


Version 2:

"The growing Hit, Goku at his peak" (Provisional)


Hit can skip time but only for 0.1 seconds. Estimating past those 0.1 seconds, Goku defeated the "Tokitobashi". But, Hit continues to grow (stronger?) while in battle. So, Goku breaks the seal of the Kaiouken and shoots a Kamehame Ha!

40 "Conclusion" (Provisional) - The martial arts tournament againts Universe 6 that wages on Earth has finally come to a close. In an outburst of anger, Champa wants to destroy his defeated contestants. Cabba and the others are frozen in fear. At that time, the one who appeared on the ring is...

Take a step back for a moment and look at ChiChi. You don't see her often in the manga, especially Saiyan-Namek-Cell era, but when you do, she's usually doing stuff like this.

Now remember that she has years of uninterrupted influence on Gohan.
>>
>>139706836
Gohan has wanted to be a scholar ever since he was a kid, which is why he cried when Piccolo kidnapped him to fight during the Saiyan Arc.

Not to mention Gohan doing basically no training whatsoever after Cell died.

>>139706836
>>139707039

Okay so let's pretend that Gohan didn't want to be a scholar since literally the first chapter we saw him. Even if we pretend Chi-Chi was "indoctrinating" him his whole life, how does that change the fact that even as a grown adult, he still went to school and became a scholar with a wife and kids? I mean Gohan is a grown-ass man and after Goku died against Cell, Chi-Chi let up and even let Goten train with her, so certainly by that point any sense of "indoctrination" is gone.

My point is, when he's an adult he could literally do anything he wanted including train. But he decided to have a wife and kids instead. The only way you could think that he is still suffering some kind of being forced to do this is if you pretend Gohan is as dumb as Goku and can only focus on one thing

Gohan being torn between making his mom happy and making his dad proud would have been a better way to portray his character, but it might be too late now.

That goes right back to how she raised him. With her logic being "studying is more important than the Earth surviving," Gohan has to completely give up fighting so she screams less and studying becomes the top thing that matters to him. He doesn't even make time to visit Piccolo.

Nope. First, Goku explains ChiChi doesn't allow arts at all and makes him study.

Gohan doesn't say anything about wanting to be a scholar until after Goku's dead, and Piccolo's telling him he's going to learn how to fight.

Huh? What does that mean, 'skip time for .1 seconds'? You mean like stop time? How do you measure out .1 seconds while time is stopped?

This makes perfect sense and I think it was something everyone already knew just from the tone in the manga, Toriyama again confirms he enjoys more doing silly SoL stuff than pure fighting.

TRIPS FOR GOHAN

Anyways, this doesn't disprove Gohan being the "certain someone" character that has a future in Super. They're just stating things we already knew.

Gohan is the only character to have the kind of development to be brought back into relevance. His training, not being at the tournament and getting his ass kicked for three episodes couldn't have been for nothing.
>>
>>139712767
I think people are looking too deeply and taking it to literally when they said a "character related to the future"
That means more immediate attention to current Gohan moving onto EoZ, and hopefully after that making young Trunks on a path to be cool like Future Trunks.
>>
>>139712907
I meant to say "for me that means I'd like to see Gohan and current Trunks get development.
>>
>>139712907
>"and I’m really happy a certain future-related character is going to be involved."

The wording of the translation (and also the original wording according to the translator himself) suggest very strongly that they're talking about a character from a "future" as in a future time period, not just "future" as in the upcoming chapters of the series.

>>
>>139717859
It doesn't fit the manga. You probably don't remember this, but three years after Trunks killed the Androids his time machine gathered enough energy for a return trip and he killed Cell. Then he presumably went back in time to tell the main universe people that he was successful. This doesn't make sense if during that three year timeskip he went on crazy adventures where he met everyone again.

>>
>>139718542
you just contradicted yourself. To go blue you need to have awaken a spark of God essence within yourself. Whether that's by ritual or by being in the god essence infused room of spirit and time like Vegeta. Either way saying it has "nothing" to do with SSG is false.
>>
>>139711659
Earth was destroyed and he fled. The 7th universe is just 20 years ahead.
>>
>>139718770
no, to go blue you have to prevent your ki from leaking while in a super saiyan state. super saiyan god has nothing to do with super saiyan blue, they are completely seperate and one is not needed for the other. their was no contradiction. try again.

also, to clarify further for your puny mind, goku recieved a power boost to his base power. it was god ki basically transformed into normal ki, meaning it was like a boost to his mana without the god ki technique, its not god ki.

vegeta has always had a large amount of ki, whiz even says he has a lot of it and that he doesnt know how to control it so he'll never get further. the knowing how to control it, foreshadowing to the god ki technique. this time, the boost was not a power boost but a technique, which results in a power boost.

they were surrounded in god ki or something, maybe not god ki. but the only way to move was by using the god ki technique of stopping your ki from leaking, so maybe it was a suction room that sucks your ki out?

What you're completely disregarding is Goku's direct quotation which refers to SSGSS as a Super Saiyan that has attain god essence.

this picture proves absolutely nothing because you're taking it out of context. Him needing to control his Ki from leaking inside that staff has nothing to do with anything.
You needing to take a quote out of context just to justify your headcanon "god technique" just goes to show how much of an imposer you are.

vegeta literaly explains how it works... and the first time they transform they concentrate and stop their aura from leaking

him needing to stop his ki from leaking is the training whiz just made them do, so they could use god ki. meaning, by use of simple deduction, that picture explains the god ki technique. sorry you're probably one of the broly retards/dragon ball youtube comment people pls leave

All Vegeta did was explain he needs to control his ki from leaking. That doesn't prove anything.
Explain to me how this has "nothing to do with Super Saiyan God" when clearly they state that the room is infused with god essence, something the ritual sparked within Goku.
Goku outright explains it to Frieza in the next episode, there's literally nothing to debate over.
