Dragon Ball has suffered a great loss after the death of Akira Toriyama, however, Toyotaro has shown that he is a worthy successor to the work
Dragon Ball was created by Akira Toriyama a few years ago, since the beginning of Son Goku’s adventure, the followers completely fell in love with everything that this story offered. While now it is in an indefinite break and It does not look like it will return at least, until next year 2026the truth is that a while ago Dragon Ball has already begun a new era in which Toriyama was completely away from the main story that was going on the market.
In a new interview of the Japan Expo that has been shared in X, Toyotaro confirms that Moro’s arch has been written in its entirety by himselfwithout the influence of Akira Toriyama. You could say that it is the first story in which the original author of the work does not participate, however, it was supervising the project, as it cannot be otherwise. Of course, there it seems that an era began that no one was able to see, something that speaks very well of the quality that Toyotaro offers to the project.
I worked with the original scripts of Toriyama to the arc of the power tournament. I drew based on them. He showed him what he had drawn and, when he gave me green light, he moved on. But after the arc of the power tournament, I wrote the arch of the Moorish arch on my own. I showed the stage to Toriyama for approval. Then, I started drawing based on the stage I had written. Every time, I showed my 45 pages and, once approved, went ahead.
In a Recent Interview, Toyotaro Reveled That He Wrote and Drew The Entire Moro Arc on His Own, Which Toriyama Approved. For the Granolah Arc, Toriyama contributed part of the plot and toyotaro built on it to draw the saga.
