Can Dragon Ball Continue Without Akira Toriyama?
I was due for a new Dragon Ball video. Then, as I was working on it, the worst thing ever happened.
In today’s video we celebrate Akira Toriyama’s greatness and his incredible legacy. I give a brief history of the franchise during the somewhat bleak years following the end of the manga’s serialization, and show how Dragon Ball was treated when Toriyama wasn’t really in the picture. Then, we contrast as Toriyama makes his grand return to Dragon Ball in 2013. A return that was cut short far too soon.
I also try to answer some questions as we look towards the future for the Dragon Ball franchise. What exactly is that unique Toriyama charm that is so essential to the Dragon Ball story? Can it be replicated? How close does Toyotarou come with his work on the Dragon Ball Super manga? Can Dragon Ball continue and thrive without Akira Toriyama? Going forward, who becomes the de-facto leader of the franchise? Who becomes the new, main voice behind the next Dragon Ball stories? Is such a responsibility even given to a single person? All that and so much more as I try to make sense of this dark and confusing time as a Dragon Ball fan.
If you want to learn more about Akira Toriyama and his creative process, I highly recommend reading a few of his many interviews. And, of course, check out his manga! Dragon Ball, Dr. Slump and most of his other published works are easily accessible and it’s all fantastic. Anime-only fans of Dragon Ball… give the manga a shot, you won’t regret it!
Below are links to the interviews seen in the video, but there are many more on Kanzenshuu that are absolutely worth a read. A big thank you to the team at Kanzenshuu for their wonderful translation work over the last two decades.

Yeah it can. However, it will be Dragonball in name only..
24:10 One piece is if goten becomes a pirate
Tbh “dragon ball gt” is lowkey a unappealing title
Tbh in this era of power scaling especially in the db community there’s no possible way db will ever be the same again
i love Dragon Ball.
Thanks!
I don’t think Toei could contribute to dragon ball in the future. They haven’t been very kind to the franchise lately. They never continued Super even though they had the material and would’ve generated a billion on its own. They also barely push the franchise as of right now. It’s usually One Piece that gets the spotlight. If you are going to continue a legendary story you’re going to have to get it out there so the masses are aware of it.
I dont get why nobody's talking about torishima, he basically was toriyama's right hand man throughout his enteer career, he was his editor for half the series and the entirety of dr slum, had the idea for cell and was just a really close friend of his, hell the idea of dragonball came out while the 2 were having dinner
GT was not a failure. Toyotaru have made a manga AF that continued the story. It was so good that ther hired him to do the official manga. Hope he now going to pick AF back up again
YES! Just make it even MORE rediculous! People saying that DB GT is shit didnt watch Super... sure GT is sucky but eh... better sucky and SEMI ok than.. "oh EVERYONES now stronger then ANY Z Warrior" not to speak of insanely stupid shit like the CANON Super Dragonballs and yeah... Mr. uber Omnigod who can do WHATEVER he want IF he wants...
Easy was is start the fight off with cressilia and spam that Luna blast
Hmm.. the live action Dragonball evolution helping get dragon ball super going. Huh. Amazing
I'm just glad Toriyama can't humiliate Vegeta anymore.
I think it will go dormant again. We'll still get games and the occasional side project. They just don't need continuations in order to make money. Super and GT are relatively poor brands compared to Z. There's a reason why they never once made a purely Super game.
I think Toyotaro should seal Dragon Ball Super and start a new manga as a sequel to dbs.
I went there and all i found was blissey
I’m gonna say something blasphemous but I’m still gonna throw it out there: the series may be even better now that it is out of toriyama’s hands. For a long while now (since Z ended) I haven’t really enjoyed DB as a whole, and it has to do with more than just the storytelling, it also has to do with how the series has just followed the same formula if power scaling all the way through since Z. There’s a possibility that it won’t be better but I kinda get the feeling that it can finally be better outside of toriyama’s hands.
İt's kind of sad that you see the little girl turn into a wisp
I'm 37 born in 87 and the dragon ball series is the greatest of all time THE GREATEST. use to wake up at 5am every Sunday morning faithfully to watch 1 episode a week when they showed the saiyan saga about 4 times over and over again before they even showed the frieza saga.the hard times
The future of Dragonball is irrelevant. The most important thing is that Toriyamas masterpiece was created during his Lifetime. And we all know what that is.
The only legacy left is if they could make a real live action dragonball movie
what do i do i have previously killed the white fox and it shows that I have killed it on the map but the trapper says i don’t have the skin for it.
"but many..."🤣everything after George Lucas has sucked, and comic books died with Stan Lee.
sure. one of the other club members will take over. what you thought he did it all by himself? you know a lot of the cartoon came out after he published issues.
I fully believe it can go on beyond toriyama. Everything Toriyama did write for Dragonball, wasn't gold either. There's a lot of dbz fans that have selective memory. There have been good and bad works Toriyama wasn't involved in too.
The answer to the question is no when the anime comes back I’m only watching the arcs Tori adapted
Ya no.. nobody can be George Lucas, starwars is trash ever since disney got it. People who likes the new content is mainly newcomers
For Dragon Ball to continue, they would need someone who completely understands the lore, style and characters that Toriyama created.
I beat this with all the pokemon that he showed and only 3 revives. I think grinding for the seventh star is worth it for the alpha garchomp, which did a LOT for me. Hope this helps!
Thank you for your work! Got the skin.
the only person who can come close is Toyotarou, his works remind me of early Toriyama, it will never be the same but at least someone who loves the franchise may be in charge!
no
Rest in peace Mr Toriyama
Damn u skipped resurrection of F😢
Awesome video, quite informative! Just a note, your voice is a little quiet. None the less, great video!
I'm thinking it won't... because people are obsessed with the 80's Rockstar hair transformations that Toriyama hated . Simplicity is what Toriyama was all about. Not big hair and more fur .
Are those legendarys good to sell?
It already has, functionally speaking, for years now. He’s pretty much been a creative consultant for decades, he does a few designs and some story beats but I genuinely believe other writers have more than enough skill to take the reigns from him and give us quality material.
Absolutely great video. Thank you 🙏🏿
Talking strictly about the story, DB super is trash
I will get hate but I don't cAre I loved gt and ssj4 gogeta and the vilans were good I like it .
I think just see Dragonball super hero anime and make that and all will be fine.
Can it yes will the fans accept it is the question. GT wasn't accepted because Akira wasn't involved much because of the drawings. Super was accepted because we were told Akira was involved. I have a hard time believing Akira was involved in the Super Manga the last few years which would explain why the popularity went down in the Manga as many people also agree with my opinion.
then you have not check out the different AF dragon ball stories and Toyotaro's continuation of GT
WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES MANY GREAT STARWARS STORIES HAVED BEEN TOLD MMMMMMMMHHHHH!!!!!!
Can it continue? Sure. Should it continue is the real question
That first one. I can't find at all I keep slipping off the mountain
Dragon ball future is going to be under AI mercy, nuff said
I am actually relieved that we get a new take on dragon ball. I am not the biggest fan of akiras storytelling, so its a good opportunity for others to pitch in if the series continues. I feel they should keep up with manga and movies and end the anime.
14:55 Why Tori died for sure was his bad work habit as in over working since a young age and his excessive smoking Manga artist never take care of themselves or I should say the Japanese in general overwork themselves to death. Not a knock on him but a lesson to everyone else. Take care of yourselves please his work to me wasn't worth dying for.
I honestly watched GT back in the late 90’s early 2000’s and didn’t have the negative stereotypes weighing it down. I enjoyed GT and the only thing I can really complain about is how whiny Pan was and the trouble she caused. But I remember watching it and loving it just as much as Z.
