Long-time Editor for Dragon Ball Speaks candidly on Akira Toriyama's Late-stage Spinoff Production
In an unexpected turn of events, Kazuhiko Torishima, a prominent figure in the world of manga and a key player in the development of Dragon Ball, has expressed his thoughts about the latest instalment, Dragon Ball Daima. His criticism, coming from someone with a past positive relationship with Akira Toriyama, the series' creator, is significant.
Torishima's comments do not support the idea of a spinoff for Dragon Ball Daima coming at the expense of Dragon Ball Super. Instead, he has suggested a Vegeta-centric spinoff for Dragon Ball, expressing his desire to see Vegeta as a hero rather than playing second banana to Goku.
Interestingly, Dragon Ball Daima marked the end of an era for the Dragon Ball anime, retconning elements from Toei Animation's Dragon Ball GT while borrowing some of its features, such as Super Saiyan 4. However, Torishima's disapproval of another live-action movie like Evolution indicates a preference for a different approach.
The finale of Dragon Ball Daima premiered alongside a cryptic update from the makers of Dragon Ball Super, leaving many questions about the future of the series in the wake of Toriyama's passing. No new chapters of Dragon Ball Super's manga are planned for the rest of 2025, adding to the uncertainty.
Despite these developments, fans can still stream Dragon Ball Daima and other Dragon Ball entries on Crunchyroll. For those re-entering the anime genre, Crunchyroll offers a variety of other great shows to explore.
However, there are still many questions about the future of Dragon Ball after Toriyama's passing. As we await further updates, the industry waits with bated breath to see how the series will evolve without its visionary creator.
