Where did Akira Toriyama get the ideas behind his android creations and the red ribbon army?

Probably all the drugs.

Akira Toriyima did drugs?

How do you think he managed to forget so much about his own work?

that's a pretty shitty way thinking it

Dr. Slump

>>14259304

A combination of seeing them as simply stories and forgetfulness. He's more concerned with the art than the writing by all accounts.

>>14259286
How else would Dr. Slump be made? In all seriousness, he's more suited to comedy stuff anyways.

Toriyama's always been great at mecha/monster designs
>>
>>14259257

Both the original Red Ribbon arc and the Cell Saga have clear Terminator inspirations, with other stuff thrown in, like how the Tower with multiple floors in the snow base, with a special opponent in each one, is apparently based on Bruce Lee's Game of Death.

He saw some guys like that

Thanks Goku.

Thank god. Toriyama is many things, but a good mechanical designer is not one of them.

Toriyama is based as fuck anon, but not for the reasons DB manga autists insist on.

So why should I?

No one asked you to.

>>14259257
I always felt that they had an East Asian/South Asian vibe to them. Namely combining elements from traditional Indian, Thai, Mongolian, Korean, and Chinese garments.
>>
>>14260335
Yes, that's where he took design inspirations from. Before serializing DB he took a vacation trip to some south east asian country.

How does that even factor? The actual work is what matters.

>I know DBZ fans aren't the smartest people around but fucking christ
Nostalgiafags aside, the db fanbase has a reading comprehension at least on par with the target audience. Haters arent even that smart.
