- Within the past decade, the name Akira Toriyama has once more been thrust into the spotlight thanks to his return to the Dragon Ball franchise. However, what was he doing prior to Dragon Ball Z Battle of Gods and Dragon Ball Super? Did he take a decade-long break from drawing since the series conclusion in 1995 or even possibly retire?
Well, join me today as we dive into his plethora of projects since then, both great and small, in today's video!

It feels surreal seeing tributes to Toriyama roll into the comment section. I never imagined when this was posted to one day see that. Never thought he would go this soon.
🐉it's bizarre that that dragon emoji came out after he passed
@@ididntaskverified3663on what phone? it’s always been on iphone i used to use it years ago.
Huge respect for Toriyama not retiring after Dr Slump despite having plenty of reason to. That's when you know someone's passionate their work.

Hes really not tho. He doesn't even remember most of his own storylines. People love to say "its been more than 30 years since he wrote it!" OK.. Its been almost that long since I've seen the original pokemon series. I can still remember pretty much everything from it and the first 151 pokemon.. how come I can remember that, but he can't remember something HE CREATED?
@@anthonysundberg6861 how old are you and how old is he? He designed over 1000 of character for Video games and had a social life too. Not to mention not everyone has a great retentive memory.
@@djantouahmed7319 Dragon ball is his most popular work that he worked on for the longest amount of time. Absolutely no fucking way he forgot his own SSJ levels. No fucking way he forgot crucial characters in his own story even existing. The truth is, he pulls everything from his ass. Then has a room full of other people fix the continuity problems by either retconning or out right contradicting other story beats. I love DBZ. But holy fuck people act as if its so deep. The dude puts like 5 mins thought into it and lets a team of other people do the rest. Thats about it.
I didn’t know he was a millionaire before dragon ball, the more you know
Dr slump was a big hit you can say it was Japan ninja turtles level of popular
@@hellodigitalworld8224 did not know this bro
Me neither.
@@SSJ491 wow holy sh* 9 years ago
But that’s millionaire in Japanese yen, if I’m correct..
Rip to the greatest manga writer of all time
for real
Absolutely, I and many others were in shambles hearing about his passing. R.I.P. To the GOAT 😔🙏
how i can watch the bonus chapter of jaco
Also a tidbit (because I'm a fan of the game): Akira Toriyama designed Android 21 for DragonBall FighterZ and she's rumored to be in the new film, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero.
Ahh interesting, I hadn't heard of that rumor.
Makes sense since it's RR centered
Android 21 is possibly returning?
*Patreon Artists:* "It's working! It's working! My sneaky scheme is working!"
damn bruh imagine if she goes majin form i should go to cinema alone its too risky ☠
@@forgottenrelics1197 because he just made it up. If you haven't heard anything from Toei or Geekdom101, ignore it ENTIRELY.
True artist with passion. He had enough resources to retire and live his life as he pleased after Dr Slump. But 37 years after finishing with the series that made him a millionaire, he is still doing what he loves.
@Good For Nutting that's the thing toriyama wasn't in a "career"
find a job you like doing and you will never work a day in you're life
@@yochioris that how it works??
And died doing what he loves
@@yochioroh you mean like if you love the job it doesn’t feel like work, it feels like fun you get paid for
I already had respect for Toriyama but now knowing he was already a millionaire before Dragon ball makes me respect him even more for not retiring.
Makes me respect him less. I thought he was poor and built himself up
I always forget what an incredible artist Toriyama really is. 90% of his imense output was drawn on a super tight deadline so he didn't have much time for more than the basics, but his complete illustrations for covers show his true genius. Especially his prop design is greatly underrated.
Sandland was one of my favorite manga as a kid. I also read kajika too! Shame they don't get more attention. Imagine if Beelzebub and Kajika were dlcs in the games?
Sandland is really underrated, still need to finish it myself tho haha
kajika is great. i read it some years ago
Neko majin and kuriza too
Sand land is getting a movie!
@@TehStylishone And a game!
Rest in peace to the legend who shaped our childhoods 😞
Toriyama's art style is amazing.
That DQ3 promo art just reignites all my love for classic Toriyama art, its so freaking clean
May this amazing legend be remembered forever. Rest in peice Akira Toriyama.
Big respect for Akira Toriamas work ethic
I remember seeing Sandland on a shelf in the library close to the Dragon Ball manga and as soon as I saw The cover I knew who made it, although I didn't know thst it was after Dragon Ball.
Toriyama made the art of Dragon Quest and Chrono Trigger during his Dragon Ball manga run.😄
So he often did stuff outside of Dragon Ball series.
He also did the Tobal series.
@@aegisreflector1239 Tobal was after Dragon Ball ended.
@Vegesther Nope.
He still do Dragon Quest
@Vegesther Chrono Cross doesn't have Akira art
Beautiful video.
Thanks Geekdom much appreciated!
hai geekdom :3
Guys...hello hope i'm not bodering you .but,here is my new fan animation ..hope u like it..coz i need your support
m.ruclips.net/video/Dvb9BLig45s/видео.html
@@t.b.g.animation6185 stop begging please
Maybe if you can do something without doing it like this
Maybe you can get more
the cuban toriyama has arrived
r.i.p to the legend who got me into anime he left behind an amazing legacy
I recently got the Nekomajin Kanzenban book to cap off my Dragon Ball Kanzenban series, only recently discovered it exists. It's so ridiculous, I love it.
I read a few chapters but I really need to finish it considering it's been my username for five years
After years working on two popular Manga of all time, he deserved a break. It helps that he became a Millionaire so he doesn't have to work much besides one shots manga and designing for video games and anime.
He was a multimillionaire before DB
@@Amplifymagic Yeah I know, I'm just saying at that point he was wealthy enough that he didn't need to work on another major manga.
Two? You mean dragon quest?
@@iresineherb7 he did art for the DQ games, the manga came after the success of the games and he didn’t do it.
@@Amplifymagic so what do he mean? I thought only dragon ball was the famous one
I could look at and listen to you describe Toriyama’s art over the years for ages.
You've gotta be one of my favourite channels of all time, please never stop!
Great video! I love Toriyama's work, he's one of my biggest inspirations for starting drawing and making comics
Same here!
R.I.P AKIRA TORIYAMA
His work on the Dragon Quest franchise is my favorite. They're just so charming
Rip Akira Toriyama
Sandland is an amazingly charming Manga. I love it so much! And the expressions and STRONG Designs that TOriyama still is able to push into his creation is nothing short of amazing
One of the most underrated dragon ball youtubers, you deserve more bro, keep it up.
I remember seeing Cowa! at a bookstore long ago and thinking “something’s familiar about this art style”. Somehow didn’t notice Toriyama’s name on it lol
Toriyama's body of work is really something. He could have stopped anytime, he could live off of revenue Dragon Ball merch and games alone, but he never really does. He always likes to make self-deprecating jokes and calls himself lazy, but he hasn't been for one single minute, it seems xD
Very in depth here. I appreciate the variety of pictures of toriyama used as we usually only see the same select few online. Also, I know it’s not dragon ball, but have you considered covering the Toei Sonic CD intro or perhaps even the Pierrot Sonic OVA?
Thanks! I intentionally try to not use those same 2 pics you see everywhere haha. But in regards to Sonic I'm not really into or generally familiar with the series in general so I haven't. Although I never knew that Pierrot produced an OVA and that the cd intro was by Toei, I was aware that Hisashi Eguchi worked on it but that's it, quiet interesting!
Fuckin love Blue Dragon
No one ever talks about it even here lmao
It's fun seeing his style pop up in other places
Lately since his death I was wondering what type of man he was, since he had such a huge influence on my life. So thanks for this video. I always asked myself what he did after Dragon Ball, since he didn’t seem interested in manga and anime which he didn’t even read or watched himself. It seems I have underestimated the workload he still had with those smaller Projects.
If it werent from him, then modern manga and anime wouldnt be how it is today. Thank you Akira Toriyama
Great video, I always love a notification from your channel
I read Sandland a few weeks ago and it has been a really fun ride
Toriyama really knows how to entertain me with anything he makes
Man, I know for sure that if I were Toriyama, I woulda immediately retired after Dr. Slump. Mad respect to him.
This channel is going places. Is there another mangaka you look up to besides Toriyama?
Yoshihiro Togashi is definitely up there as well as Masashi Kishimoto :)
@@forgottenrelics1197 hopefully I get to hear you speak about them sometime in the future. Kishimoto and Togashi are GOATS when it comes to perspective and paneling 🔥
@@forgottenrelics1197 have you read samurai 8? It’s also by Kishimoto and it’s pretty good, it’s a shame it was canceled though.
@@wyvron6146 I won't lie.. I am one of those people who found it boring and horrible..
This vid showed me how little I know very fun to watch thank you for making it
Looking at how big Toriyama is and how much work he’s done and been involved with, I think his closest equivalent is Stan Lee
Oda did a little too
@@RokkieSparrow Not really since Oda’s only popular thing is One Piece.
@@RokkieSparrow Not really since Oda’s only popular thing is One Piece.
@@RokkieSparrow eh even tho oda sleep schedule and his manga one piece is crazy. He didn't do anything besides one piece. Excluding the crossovers
More Jack Kirby than Stan Lee. Stan was the editor, the creative guys were Kirby and Ditko.
This was very cool Internet documentary what Toyama did after dragon ball
Rest in Peace to a living legend. For all the jokes about him being lazy, his work ethic was incredible. After Dragon Ball he could've retired for good but kept working. Incredible man, there'll never be another
Excellent video and thank you for covering Cross×Epoch,Katsur and the other projects Toriyama's been involved with over the years! Just watched this after work and it was a real treat! Thank you for the Amazing Coverage!
Man 7 minutes ago? Your video are always so chill and informative man. Keep it up :)
Thanks man! I appreciate it :)
I totally forgot that Cowa was a Toriyama book! It's actually one of my go-to travel books; always good to spend time with on a train or by a hotel pool or something similar
Dragon ball is like the youngest: he loves it, but not his favorite, that would go to his first Manga or Jaco
Jaco is legitimately great
Is it just your assumption?
Yooo shoutout to using Lux Elite’s and Maitro’s tracks. Lovely video as always!
Thank you for this I thought Akira only made DB dbz dbs Dr.slump Chrono...sumpting. now I gots a shit load of manga to look for ... I didn't know nekomajin was a Akira character. Nice
Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴. As always, awesome video. Thanks for your content. Saludos
First ever Manga and Anime I ever saw, it was Dragonball and Toriyama that got me interested in them when I was a teen! :D
Fantastic video!! Loved it, great job and thank you :)
No problem! Glad you enjoyed it
Huge respect on the guy with working 15 years and not retiring ❤
Dude made probably the best JRPG of all time with chrono trigger and one of the best animes ever with dragon ball he's had an amazing career
Rip akira toriyama loved dt slump almost finished it i was still on dbz when he died i should finish it soon amd read the manga
Yo why do you not have more subs yet you are awesome!
Could we get a video on Toriyama's involvement with Chrono Trigger since there wasn't enough time in this video?
Cool, I forgot he did the art for dragon warrior to, that explains why I was so drawn to the dragon warrior monsters games as a kid, though I still emulate them on an old smart phone as well
We need a movie adaptation or at least a special of "Jaco The Galactic Patrolman." The fact it hasn't already been done is just about as much of a crime to the anime adaptation world as sailor moon never adapting "Codename: Sailor V." Both serve importance to the stories yet get summed it up in basic text and make the characters seem way less interesting. Would go for the jaco story over CGI fighterz style animation for the next dbs film anyday. Sandland would make a good anime series as well.
he got extremely sleepy, even though thats sad , the man is a legend and im happy he exists, im happy with what i got, i only have 4 vols of dbz and all of the video series, im happy with what i got, cant wait to pick up the rest years after.
Why did i get this in my recommended after Toriyama's passing?
Because you were searching for Toriyama?
Yes, Sandlot, Kajika, and Kintoki are amazing series.
Came to this after Sand Land anime trailer dropped. Never thought I would see it again in my life
His writing is the current arc write now is amazing!
bro forgot the iconic Chrono Trigger during the SNES era. RIP Toriyama, dbz really made my childhood awesome.
Akira Toriyama was simply enjoying drawing anything he liked to draw without so much pressure from company to draw same thing constantly.
I love that you used Luxury Elite music in this video.
Old follower bro..also a db animator..love ur work👍👍
Thanks man, your content is gold!
I did not realize just how many one shots Toriyama produced. I honestly thought he just did some misc work like the DQ game character designs until jaco.
If any Toriyama manga deserves an anime adaptation it's sandland, I fricking love that manga
Akira toryiama inspired me to create my own original anime light novels currently on my 61st ongoing series
This really opened my eyes to Dragonball and A.T as a illustrator and author. I never knew he made so many Projects outside a dragon ball
After Dragon Ball, my dude was simply working and living life.
I remember buying all of the newly released manga of Dragonball Z back then in Germany when the translation was released.
At the very last manga he put a message to all the fans with a date that was from several years ago, I was kinda schocked cause I believed we instantly got the manga lol
However I always loved it and still love Dragonball + Dbz not as much the newer ones
Dragon ball was so big It's really enough. He didn't really retire, but consulted on various project and did minor freelance work, plus attended conventions and the like and had various little projects. He went from Mangaka workaholic to more of a regular job. It's nice like he just retired early with money.
Great video like always. Thank you.
No problem! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Idk if you changed the thumbnail but if you didn’t then I didn’t know he was working on sandland that far back
Toriyama made the most influential series after making millions and then came back after years to continue it without any problem. What a goat.
Can't forget about BLUE DRAGON on 360 and the anime too.
Recently just finished the first season of the anime actually! And I did mention Blue Dragon briefly in the video.
@@forgottenrelics1197 sorry I must of missed it but yeah the anime changes things that came first in game. it's like a different universe of it.
Crono trigger, dragonball, dr slump, blue dragon, dragon quest
Everything he touch successful, and people still question his ability as artist?
yeeees thanks! i recognized that character on the thumbnail, i had that manga years ago and loved it, i searched for it but i forgot the name of it and never found it again
rly big thanks xd
and damn i didnt even know he did dr.slump, its also one of my favorites, i love that one soo much
Sweet music choices,dude.
Also, good to see Akira Toriyama getting more work after DB GT.
7:09, Hehe..he'll always be back in there.
Jaco himself is a pretty unique character considering we never got a patrol guy doing and not doing his job. He can literally make a great comedic partner while someone becomes the straightman to his antics.
If I’m not mistaken Naho Ooishi was the original named successor of Akira Toriyama. She did the manga adaptation of yo son goku and friends, and created/illustrated episode of bardock. With Toriyamas supervision and blessing
I was literally just thinking about this and boom!
Man I adore your content, y'know DB is my all time favorite franchise
I'm surprised you didn't mention anything regarding Toriyama's design work on Chrono Trigger...
In most of Toriyama's designs, you really can see his signature.
He drew his entire life and then some. I have mad respect for the man
If he was already a millionaire before Dragon ball, I wonder how rich he is now
Incredible!
He did a lot of other stuff that wasnt overly announced like all the Dragon Quest games artwork and designs for example. Still does a lot, just quiet.
I live his art I inspire him ✨
He draws beautiful
So glad that sand land its getting recognition its deserve. Toriyama works its getting shine upon rather than dragon ball and dr slump
GENERAL SHIVA LOOKS LIKE VEGETA 👊👊👊
RIP Toriyama, he did a lot.
to heaven
All I want is a Legend of Zelda game, drawn in Akira's 80's Art Style
that dragonball-wave in the background 🤟
I'd like to say 539,000,000 is not a million in USD, it actually is about 500,000 dollars. This is still very impressive I just wanted to make sure people didn't get the wrong idea
Not it ain’t I litterally googled it. It’s freaking 3million
I remember Sand Land coming out in the American Shonen Jump and I just... never read it.
I've read the first chapter or two, still need to finish it one day haha
I'll be honest I didn't know DBZ was under the dragon ball title for the manga too, had thought it would be diffrent for some reason lol
