I doubt if would've made it as an international (or even japan wide) phenomen in that case.- but never to this extent. I always suspected that Toriyama's ediors played an important role in making Dragon Ball what it is today (asking him to continue the story not included ) - I'm pretty sure had Toriyama done everything 100% DB would have a stayed Dr. On the other hand, at a press conference for the American Raijin Comics re-release of Fist in 2002, Horie claimed that he was really the one behind the success of Dragon Ball. Torishima is sometimes credited with being the driving force behind Dragon Ball.

Thompson says Toriyama hired more assistants as the series went on, but he actually only had one, Matsuyama, who assisted him from the later portion of Dr. Him wanting to end it with Freeza too is speculation, but as usually happens, the speculation is treated as fact and the actual confirmed times he originally wanted to end it are ignored. But the emphasis on the Freeza arc as an ending is unwarranted and misleading: Toriyama has said he originally planned to end it after the first search for the dragonballs, then after 10 volumes, then 13, and was wanting it to end soon right when the 'Z' portion began. OK, so that's not as bad as it could be as I've gone over before, the basic kernel of Toriyama continuing the series long past what he originally intended due to it popularity is true. Oh boy.Thompson says that 'Apparently Toriyama wanted to end the story after the Freeza arc, and probably at other times as well, but his editors forced him to keep going because the series was so successful'. This sounds like a mangling of how Toriyama has said (in the SEG: Story Volume for instance) that he left their hair purposefully light because it was easier than having to black it in.

He also says that Toriyama claimed to have made the Super Saiyans' hair light because he forgot to black them in. He probably means the daizenshuu (there are no Toriyama interviews in the kanzenban release of the manga, for the record). He refers to 'an interview in the old kanzenban art books'. Thompson uses the phrase 'Ultra Super Saiyan' to refer to Trunks' beefy form. Satan' without any further explanation, but calls Boo 'Majin Boo' was than 'Djinn Boo'. As Thompson notes, this doesn't make a whole lot of sense (Horie wasn't even Toriyama's editor). I'm not sure where he says this.Īpparently Fist of the North Star editor Nobuhiko Horie has taken credit for getting Toriyama to do a battle manga. Slump is Toriyama's personal favorites out of all the ones he's done. But elsewhere he says stuff like 'by the time the series became DragonBall Z' or refers to Viz translating the DB and DBZ manga, without any clarification that this is merely how Viz divided up the manga. The closest he gets is mentioning how Toriyama came up with the 'Z' name for the later part of the anime. The article never flat-out explains that the entire run of the manga was originally just 'DragonBall', and that in Japan 'Z' is an anime-only marker. Strangely, Thompson never mentions his connection to Viz and its DB/Z release in the article. Thompson used to be one of the main editors at Viz, and worked on Viz's DB/Z in its comic book and early GN stage, but he left Viz shortly after the launch of Viz's Shonen Jump in order to write and draw his own comic series. Over on Anime News Network, Jason Thompson has an article listing 5 reasons DB is great, and just going over the series in general.
