Not exactly. It’s his baby, but the Dragon Team can overwrite his decisions. He wasn’t the sole owner of it, like George Lucas, who could do anything during the prequels.
@@sngomi That's not how writing works for any writer of decent skill. At first there are infinite possibilities, but eventually you sculpt the world and the characters in such a way that certain decisions don't feel natural. If you want something to happen, you have to come up with some way to make it feel right. Not for the audience, but for yourself. Especially when it comes to the characters you love. This is why Piccolo's orange form has so much meaning tied into it that isn't even talked about, whereas Gohan's Beast form is just there. Because not only does Gohan getting more powerful just because, as unsatisfying as it may be, feel natural for Gohan, but Toriyama didn't love him as much as Piccolo.

BRUH. It's like he knew! I just turned 40 years old and still have love for these animes I grew up with. I think people know when their time is coming closer to an end and it changes how they think about the world. Saying goodbye must have been present on his mind at this time but difficult to put into words, especially in a culture like Japan.
Akira Toriyama and Kentaro Miura both did the perfect panel say goodbye to every single fans of Dragon Ball and Berserk. Rest in piece, two legends, you're both eternal in our hearts.

So Toriyama knew he was about to leave us for good. Piccolo was his favorite character and he drew him saying goodbye. I believe that goodbye from Piccolo was actually Toriyama saying goodbye to his fans. RIP to the legend ❤😢!!!
if this isn’t the most fitting this for him, idk what is. the last thing he did wasn’t only working on dragon ball, but perfecting the goodbye of his favorite character. god now it’s gonna feel like he’s saying goodbye to us not piccolo 😭
never watched nor read DB before but damn, that tiny correction he made to scene is like him saying it's okay to move on from it, because he too is satisfied with where he managed to stop at.
It’s almost as if he knew his time was coming. Giving us a final farewell through his favourite character when he easily could’ve let toyotaro do his thing.
I hope that they keep Piccolo as strong as vegeta and goku for the rest of the series. And I also hope they let the humans cook a little toom they could all benifit from whis's training. And whis seems like he genuinly enjoys training people. He's always having such a good time with goku and Vegeta and he's so damn motivating even if they fail over and over.
Whis is like Mr. Miyagi in his role as teacher. Able to easily trounce his students, but recognizing their strength and dropping wisdom on them every chance he gets.
died on 3/1, last work was on chapter 103 having a character say goodbye, Apprentice worked with him for 9 years before that point. Looks like clear numerology going on
Knowing that this was Toriyama’s final contribution to Dragon Ball before his death gives me the impression that he knew that he didn’t have much time left in this world, so he made this contribution as a subtle means of saying goodbye. May he rest in peace.
Say what you will about Toyotaro's writing or art, but credit where it's due, he's living just about every nerds dream. He went from making fanfiction of Dragon Ball to working on official DB stuff and being deemed by Toriyama himself to be his official successor. Toyotaro seems earnest and genuine in his love of the franchise, and getting to be Toriyama's successor is a tremendous honor. I can't imagine the pressure he must feel to not only continue Dragon Ball, but to live up to Toriyama's legacy
Rest In Peace Akira Toriyama🕊️🐐 May God Rest Your Soul♥️😢 Fly High Legend You Will Be Remembered From The Bottom Of Our Hearts,You were the greatest Mangaka ever😭
I've seen a lot of people shit on toyotaro over the years for one reason or another, but he's one of us. He started illustrating manga because of Toriyama. When he got a job at Shueisha and got to illustrate the manga for side projects of Dragon Ball, he probably thought he made it, like what more could he realistically want? Then Toriyama himself picks Toyotaro as his successor. Toriyama trusted the guy enough to hand over the manga to him.
Rest in peace to the legend amongst legends. Toriyama raised me without knowing it. Thank you for all your contributions, sir. I bow to you in honor of your culture. A handshake would be the respect in mine, but I would probably give you a hug. Thank you, sir. may you rest in paradise.
This is a bittersweet goodbye. It was unintentional, but I still believe that it is now a cool and great way for Toriyama to say "Goodbye" through Piccolo.
I think Dragon Ball is in good hands with Toyotaro. I'm not worried about the manga side of things, but the anime is a whole other story with all that behind the scenes drama right now over the future direction.
Oh man this hits hard. Akira changed so many lives with his work. Im so grateful for it and I believe this was a way to say bye to all of us through means of his work.
It still hits hard that akira toriyama is gone even. The goodbye hits hard, if not harder than some of the other deaths juice wrld xxx or pop smoke don't come close to akira toriyama death
Unfortunately, if we don't place our trust in Jesus and confess Him as Lord then there will be no peaceful rest. But one of complete sorrow. You must believe the Gospel.
It's fitting that it's Piccolo waving goodbye. He was Toriyama's favourite character and he was happy that Piccolo got his time to shine in Super Hero.

You mean piccolo jr....not beezlebub
Sheesh.
Wasn't that the name he chose himself?
Or at least when signing up for the tournament
Cant Believe That He Was So Fond of His
Work That He Even Worked on it During His Last Moments😢
To be fair, Toriyama probably didn't know that they were his final moments.
Any idea what was Akira-Sama's Cause of death?
@@Docta_Tma Yeah. Subdural hematoma. It's a condition where blood collects between the skull and the brain, and it's main symptoms are headache and confusion, but it also may not show any symptoms. You could google this.
