HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 апр 2017
- Is this the most fascinating Toriyama interview? Akira Toriyama is very much a recluse but in this interview he did for WIRED Japan, he was his most relaxed and provided interesting reading. Let's discuss why this interview is one of the most important documentations of Toriyama's personality and opinions.

I swear that picture is the only picture of Toriyama that exists
Astronomer_X don't forget the one that's in black & white
There are plenty of other photos of Toriyama, it's just that the picture that always gets used is the most recent one known to exist, due to a combination of Toriyama's notorious shyness and Japan's strict privacy laws.
Astronomer_X i looked on google and i found about 7 or 8 pictures
There are also 2 Videos of Toriyama
Here's an interesting set of Toriyama with one of his (and my own) idols... JACKIE FUCKING CHAN! :D
Jackie is possibly the reason why Toriyama even thought martial arts and comedy would mesh well, it could be said that without Jackie Chan, Dragon Ball wouldn't exist.

Goku is just like Toriyama. They may make people happy but really they're just doing what they're doing for themselves, and they don't really care or notice what other people say.
that.. is actually freaking briliant
some heros are heroes seeking justice.
some people become heroes seeking vengeance
and some people become heroes because they find punching badies in the face fun.
With is exactly my goku just like Toriyama need some one to keep them focused and prevent them to just screwing around (something both unfortunately lack)
You have to admire him tho he for the most part refused to compromise on his vision and never changed his personality. He was a nerd before Dragonball and he's a nerd after dragonball
Classic Saxon and his attitude towards popular things is like that of a edgy teen kill and put something else there lol
He's such a petty guy.
He kills characters when they are too popular, ALWAYS goes for whatever people aren't expecting, hates being told what he can't do and will go nuts when given freedom, will base villains on people he hates.
I love him.
I've been saying that for decades. Well I lived three decades. So it was probably only two decades that I've been saying Goku's character was always meant to be the way it's portrayed in Super now. He was never supposed to be the next Superman. Actually the last episode is a good reflection of Toriyama's personality in Goku. "Oh, I saved the world? Didn't notice, I just like fighting"
Goku is a representation of the Monkey King. And if you know the Monkey King legend then you know he's the kinda guy that crashes parties and makes a mess of things and fools out of everyone. While boasting about it.
Xiao Champuru Huh...Goku can be quite rude at times. To me personally Goku's role in this arc is pretty interesting. We have 8 universes at stake, and yeah clearly Goku cares about his own universe. But he seems to have that as a low priority, and as our main character, that is pretty unique than most plots like this. I'm curious to see how this arc goes and I have faith that it will have a good run all the way through. (if you know...people don't drop it because of the whole power scaling thing heh). I guess Gohan would instead be the one who cares most about the universe, considering Goku told him about all this first. I still don't get why they won't tell the truth though, I mean that's what has me confused about this arc for me personally. (Damn I went on for a long while lol)
You're around my age so you know exactly what db is all about. It was never meant to be taken so serious. But these days kids are fighting each other over who's stronger lol. But yeah man good comment.
Brizzy5starEnt Lol I mean Dragon Ball starts off with Bulma and her motorcycle running into Goku and he's perfectly fine right XD. I still feel Super has that toriyama humor. Like the latest episode, when they made fun of King Kai's planet being a bomb disposal unit, that had me laughing the whole way through XD. I can't wait to see that dubbed.
Xiao Champuru Wow. I like you. I am so god damn tired of people trying to make DB it isn't.
I actually like how Toriyama portrays Goku, a not-so-good but a not-so-evil Character
Pony Studio just like a brain damaged saiyan warrior
manas tiwari Haha! XD Basically
Deathcoldan it's his evolution or character development. He's been through a lot throughout his life. It definitely takes a toll and leaves scars
Goku is basically Chaotic Neutral.
Goku is a moron in this day and age.
Gohan is the superman character. Goku is a dank meme on the internet that's pretty popular.
EXACTLY!
Gohan is the one that fights for justice and good and t protect his loved ones, not Goku.
Goku cares about all that stuff, sure, btu it is far from his MO.
So true and part for the reason why unlike Goku I actually really like Gohan (he is my favorite hero of the series)
loleo123, yeah cause they both suck.
Sure, gohan is doing what superman does, but, that doesn't mean goku is 'a dank meme.' he has saved earth multiple times, with or without knowledge of it. Goku doesn't just fight for fun. In the universe 6 arc, he was fighting so they could keep earth in universe 7. Also, during the majin buu saga and the ressurection f saga. He isn't a mindless dude who just fights for fun. He knows the stakes.
@@varund6820Doesnt really count because he wasn't the primary creator of Super or any of that
Long story short: Toriyama don't give a fuck 😎😎😎
I like how in the second part of the android 17 episode they flat out have Goku say what Toriyama has been saying for years: Oh, I just like fighting strong guys. If that happens to lead me to defeating someone evil then that's fine, but I don't really go looking for evil people to stop. I mean, sure if I see innocent people or animals getting hurt I won't stand for it, but I wouldn't say I'm a hero.
That is Goku. He isn't a hero, but he's also not a villain. He's just a guy whose actions just so happen to lead to bad guys getting defeated. Unless if they mess with his friends, THEN he goes after them.
You couldn't say it better, dude.
He's like, heroic by chance.
He likes to fight strong guys and protect his friends, it just so happens that his friends are on earth and the strong guys usually try to destroy it.
Can we all agree that toriyama is a lazy but at the the same time genius? I mean look at the creation of super sayian,he made look like that because he and his assistant didn't want to spend their time inking goku's hair before the deadline so they pretty made it so they can save time before the deadline.
Now that's what I call classic toriyama =D !
cutiepinkie 15 agreed
cutiepinkie 15 writing and drawing on a weekly basis for twelve years non stop isn't really what I'd call lazy.
KidSardonic what i actually meant is that toriyama usually when he draws something at first he didn't mind drawing it however as time it continues he got sick of drawing it so he find a way to get rid off it.
Also that's actually the reason why he got rid of saiyans' tails and u6 sayians doesn't even have tails so that's why.
Really not lazy, you gotta understand that this mans schedule making dragon ball was ridiculous. At one point he went an entire week without sleeping for this fucking show. I believe his average work time was 17 hours a day. Sometimes he had to cut characters just to keep the manga going
cutiepinkie 15 Oh and U6 Saiyans not having tails aren't a product of Toriyama. Toyotaro makes the super Mangas
Toriyama is the GOAT
thanks for making my childhood awesome
Super Vegito. Ok
Super Vegito wtf a goat??😂😂wtf😂😂
God Of All Things
@Darkdayzz
*Greatest of all time
Super Vegito he truly is the goat i own him my confidence lol db helped me a lot in life
I much prefer the Goku Toriyama envisioned.
Malystryx same
Yeah, the more flawed version might definitely have some potential to be a lot more interesting than GoodGuyGoku, but from what I've seen of Super, Toei has taken that and sprinted in the opposite direction as fast as they can. Even aside, I automatically dislike the interpretation due to the sheer stupidity it's displayed up until this point.
The Goku Toriyama envisioned is nothing like what made me love Dragon Ball in the past. Goku in Super is literally robotic in personality, and acts like a literal child. While I agree his personality in Z may have been a bit cliche superman, the drastic change from Z to Super is quite horrendous, and is simply bad writing.
I find the real Goku pretty interesting. He's like someone who's predictable yet unpredictable if you know what I mean.
I'd say a lot of us prefer that Goku to the dub. Honestly, it's that personality that Funimation gave him why so many Western fans think that he's a Superman ripoff when he's almost the opposite. I think that what Goku said in DBS episode 87 spells out the basis of Goku's character. It's really odd to me that people think that Goku was meant to be the common righteous hero trope when Toriyama went out of his way to do things differently from the norm.
The Western comic book industry 'maturing' isn't really a recent thing tbh, a lot of people will point to Frank Miller's Dark Knight from 1986 or Alan Moore's Watchmen which came out the same month. But you had creators even earlier pushing the boundaries like Denny Oneil and Neil Adams Batman run which introduced the League of Shadows or their Green Arrow/Green Lantern Travelling heroes run which introduced social commentary of the American Wealth gap as well as post civil rights racism. Then in the mid 80s you had the British invasion when DC poached the 2000AD creators like Neil Adams and Alan Moore giving us amazing Sandman and Swamp Thing runs.
So I think Toriyama was being flippant in his remarks of western comics, probably just speaking on a common thought process of the time. Sorry for the Paragraph of text, love your stuff Masako :)
He probably read some when he was a kid, and American comics were indeed the way he described back then.
That was exactly what I was thinking. To be fair, Toriyama was probably unfamiliar with the comic books mentioned by you. Wouldn't be surprised if the average '80s Japanese person's knowledge of Western superheros would be based on stuff like the Adam West Batman series or those not-so-good Hanna-Barbera toons like Superfriends or The Thing.
You're both probably right. :)
when did Toryima start in the industry?
I wouldn't be surprised if he had already been drawing Dr Slump in 1980.
Goku is the person Batman feared Superman would become
That's... frighteningly accurate.
Miles Pannell Not sure if you know this already but there a fanfic with Goku and the JLA that's surprisingly good, and he does fear Goku, especially after discovering his Zenkai boosts he puts him a much higher threat level than Superman.
What is that fanfic called?
Gimme a few minutes, I need to find it again.
Matt Som guess they never watched goku vs superman deathbattle
Lmao Toriyama's such a troll, deliberately making things go the way his fans didn't want xD
Remember about Toriyamas work outside of manga world. Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest, without him those wouldnt exist, or at least not in current form.
One of the highlights of those series was the artwork so I'd say it would have been worse off and more generic had Toriyama not done those games, as his artstyle helped set them apart from other games.
blue dragon
Comics have been dark and brutal for quite a while. I'm 33, but i'm sure they've been pretty rough since before the early 80s. We've long had death, and adult issues such as drug abuse and addiction.
what masaki was geting at is that mainstream comics wheren't really there during the late 80's/early 90's
another big thing about mainstream comics is that no consequences stick, there is no drama in superman kicking the bucket when i know that his death will be retconed by next week.
Well this is considering that we talk about the series were the after live thanks to the Dragonballs has a revolving door not really the best argument.
I appreciate his work a lot. He created the franchise i grew up on. He even inspired me to create my very own fanmade manga of a different franchise
Hearing the word "evolution" in a video talking about Dragonball related stuff made my skin crawl. Don't know why....
''Wired: In drawing comics, what is your ratio of visual information to textual information?
Toriyama: Really, as far as information is concerned, the visual side is bigger.
Wired: With what stance do you view words?
Toriyama: At any rate, I don’t waste much time blathering on about useless things. As a rule, you can understand the content to a certain extent with just the pictures, and words are nothing more than a supplement to them. I had that drilled into me by my first editor, I guess you could say…. If you’re going to come out and say something, then make it something that will strengthen the characterization even further, is what I mean.''
There you go, when something is not directly explained in the series is because the first editor of Akira Toriyama wanted readers to use their headcanons to make sense of the situation lol
Toriyama is the only reason I play Dragon Quest to this day. Huge fan of Toriyama's artwork.
Me too!!
last time I was this early it was still 5 minutes before Namek exploded.
there ARE still 5 minutes before namek explodes...
Well, I'm late, and Namek still hasn't exploded... lol
notaqua that's like 15 whole episodes! 😨
as an comic nerd i would like you inform that the 90's were much darker
you see in comics
there was are ages
Golden Age(1930-late 1940's)
it was really violent and sexual but also the heroes were perceived to be larger than life because it boosted morale during wartime with the likes of superman and the flash eventually parents got concerned and asked for more restrictions on mainstream comics and the politicians and media also becoming aggressive did not help either.
Silver Age(1950-late 1980's)
The new restrictions were called the comic code authority which had a lot of no no's that really limited stories to wacky fun and campy and the heroes were know SUPER OVERPOWERED because you know silly and fun and not mature and complex
Bronze Age(1980-present)
but then the comic code authority was removed after so many people complained which lead to much darker story lines like the Killing Joke The Dark Knight Returns, Watchmen, The Death of superman, a plot line which involved Green arrows sidekick speedy's drug addiction, A death in the family, practically every Batman story. For example, Hush, The night of the Owls Endgame, I am suicide, Rise of the Batmen,etc, SO MANY MORE
practically every story line was dark and mature and gritty Alan Moore and Frank Miller thrived in this era.
So if dragon ball was created in the 50's and not late 80's to 1990's I would understand.
but it not
Great Video by the way.
I like the Westernized Goku more, but I acknowledge he isn't the real Goku.
Last time I was this early, people didn't post comments about how early they were.
Masako Can you discus about Dragon Quest and Akira Toriyama?
Đark Moyan I love dragon quest and sometimes I've noticed characters in them that look at lot like characters from dragon ball
Because Akita Toriyama was the Character designer of Dragon Quest. I have never play but a new game just release for pc so I'll plat it :)
He was the character and monster designer for the series; the mascot, the slime, was designed by Toriyama. He's also done other games, such as Chrono Trigger and Blue Dragon, the latter of which Toriyama thought would be his last work. Toriyama has such a unique art style that it's pretty apparent when you look at his work. On a somewhat related note, I always thought that Sidra, the Universe 9 Hakaishin, looked kind of like Borya, the wizard PC from DQ IV, which is a great game and one I would highly recommend if you haven't played any of the games yet.
Hey Masako, love your content man, always have, and still love it. You make people happy when they feel sad, all the while teaching them about everything about Dragon Ball! Still working on your muffin button, you probably forgot me though.
i don't need goku to be justice man..i just wish he wasnt "fuck everything but my needs" man
I'm with you there. I think there should be some more balance. He doesn't have to be a goody two shoes saint but some character development would be nice.
I am willing to accept the Goku that Toriyama wants us to see, I just wish he was more subtle about it in super. That last conversation he had with 17 in super felt a little awkward to me.
He tried being subtle, but because people have the reading comprehension and attention span of a 5 year old dropped on his head, unless you clearly spell it out to them they aren't going to listen, even now people will more than likely forget what Goku said.
Thanks for everything Toriyama. We appreciate it.
Canon or non-canon, I love the Dragon Ball series.
Well, actually comics(American) now as then(the 1990's) have been aimed primarily at adults. It's only been in recent years where companies have started aiming for the younger demo. But even with that it's still mostly adults.
Toriyama makes stuff up as he goes along. That is the first lesson for any dragon Ball fan.
The funny thing is, I already knew all this stuff. What I personally find fascinating is how I manage to learn these things without intentionally seeking this knowledge out
Those "pesky" editors are the reason some of the sagas in DB make sense or got better. Especially the androids/Cell one.
No if anything it made it worse since his editors kept wanting him to change villains because he didn't like the designs, Gero was supposed to be the one true villain of the arc, switching lead to many contrivances and plotholes.
And they were right.
Arguable, that is more subjective if anything, Cell was an ok villain and the androids were huge threats, Dr. Gero could have been far better without the editors swapping things out, still filled the plot with more plotholes and inconsistencies then needed.
Rest in piece to the the legend that changed all of our lives 🕊 your work will love forever
Toriyama is a very weird man.
yes he is !
I still have trouble with the idea that Toriyama was not writing Goku as a hero.
Sure, fighting strong opponents is his primary motivation, but he still goes out of his way to protect people.
If he'd been massively stronger than Vegeta or Majin Buu, he's have still fought them to protect the planet. He wouldn't have shrugged his shoulders left. He might not have enjoyed the battle, but he'd do enough to make them leave at least.
That's why I thought it was out of character that Goku didn't seem to care about the Universes getting erased, although recent episodes have dropped the hint that maybe he's not as okay with it as it previously seemed.
+Zikar when does Goku go out of his way to protect people? Every time he protects someone there's already a threat for him to face, a fight to have, which is his motivation. Yes, he doesn't like seeing innocent people hurt and will do something about it, which is why he is considered a good guy overall, however it's still kind of an excuse to fight.
With many of his enemies he often let them go to allow them to get stronger so he could still have strong people to fight. Even with Buu, he knew he had to kill him because he was too dangerous, but wished to have him brought back as a good guy to fight him, ultimately showing what's the most important thing to him.
I'm not sure that he doesn't really care, just that there's nothing that he can do about it for the moment, which is why he's focusing on just fighting and protecting his universe. Goku's never been one for contemplating situations much. Who knows, perhaps he already has an idea to protect the other universes, which is why he doesn't seem concerned, much like he did just before the Cell Games.
I love it when an *THIS IS AN AD* appears in the middle of the video.
Yeah American comics in the 90s were really dark.
That was ten years after every superhero comic would follow Watchmen's footsteps.
I like unrestricted Toriyama, i liked the buu arc, i liked gotenks(and his super ghost kamikaze attack, seriously bring it back!) i like how super changed dragonball.
God! I love Toriyama. the whole part of him killing off characters that became popular, and deliberately doing the opposite of suggestions is something that I think I would do if I was ever in his position.
I loved the Rammstein ad at the beginning, didn't even click skip.
I really liked his personality in this interview man he is really a man who sticks with his guns never tried to change goku to the righteous hero that everyone was expecting him to be . But the funny thing is , is the dramatic irony that happened to him he really never thought that dragon ball will become a world wide phenomenon
One, I personally love the fact that goku is no longer this superman type figure and is just a guy who likes fighting really strong guys. Two, I love how you can hear hints of the tfs goku when Masako speaks.
Last time I was this early Gohan was still learning how to DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really? Last I checked, King Piccolo was still trapped inside that rice cooker.
Another great video MasakoX. It's a very interesting topic to talk about actually, good work! I would try and figure out how I can make a thumbs up emoji or whatever but I'm internet illiterate...Good work, man!
Yeah... You are 100% wrong about comics in the 1990s. I'd recommend watching Linkara's show for a taste of what we had to live through back then. At best, they were Gaiman, Moore, Smith, Miller etc. At worst they were Ellis, Liefeld, Zimmerman...and Miller & Moore again. They were OBSESSED with being grimdark and gritty and "mature." So they weren't intended for kids -- they were, at their worst (which is to say 75% of the time), intended for adolescents and adults who still thought like adolescents. But at their best they were arguably more sophisticated and innovative than any of the manga on tap at that period.
I can't stop hearing Goku when you say "Hey guys, MasakoX here" xD xD xD
This is what i love Tori i love how raw he is.
I love those interviews where they can speak their mind in an uncensored. It really shows what kind of people they are and you get a grasp on their thought progress. Although...that's not always a pleasant thing to read. Though I love to see more of these interviews.
The only thing our Supreme Being Toriyama couldn't predict was how popular he'd become. So humble!
Western comics became much darker in the 80's /90's. Robin died, Green Arrow's sidekick had a drug addiction..
Watchmen, Hellboy, Spawn. There are tonnes of other examples but I'm trying to keep this comment short.
do you have any plans of doing a video talking more about super saiyan rose, or just going through all the super sayians talking about them and maybe rating them from what you think is best/most practicable to least/worst? that would be cool :)
I can honestly understand his disdain for the fanbase
i just wanted to say ..
your hair is beautiful
also i would love to hear more about what Toriyama has to say about dragonball
The '90s was very much when comics moved to adults. You had comics like the Watchmen and the Dark Knight Returns and Maus: three of the darkest and most mature comics out there. You had '90s edginess, anti-heroes, sex, drugs, and violence. Like, the '90s was when comics really switched to being more adult.
The mature comics existed in the '80s, too, they just became more popular in the '90s. Even decades before that there were some comics that were a bit mature, with the romantic comics and whatnot, they just fell out of prominence for a long time.
I'm speaking towards the more popularized idea of comics, primarily being capes and superheroes. You could go back to the golden age with Horror Comics if you really wished to speak towards stuff. Nowadays, and since the '90s, comics target young adults and teenagers by default, in any case.
Yeah. Tell me, what was superman's power level at that time? Didn't it change every week or something?
Hey MasakoX! I've been recently wondering if you'll ever do a Dragonball discussion asking the question "Do you think Dragonball Z spoiled us for other anime (or at least shounen anime)?"
I thought about this after watching SethTheProgrammer's video "Would Genjutsu Work In Dragonball?" And I thought to myself "Yeah, Genjutsu could probably work, but does somebody like Itachi Uchiha or Naruto Uzumaki have the power to BLOW UP A PLANET WITH ENOUGH EFFORT?" I then rewatched TeamFourStar's Cell vs. series and that pretty much help cement my feelings a bit, because how many anime are around that have characters who are so strong that they can easily destroy worlds if they just exert enough effort (outside of One Punch Man)?
Amazing video
after watching this i feel like i can relate to toriyama even just a little
American comics have been dark and gritty since the 1980s it was really only in the 40s-60s were comics were mainly aimed at children but once the kids of that era grew up and were adults in the 80s and 90s comics got dark and hyper violent. e.g. Venom and Carnage and the dark knight returns.
I hope you enjoyed the info dump on comics Masako! :)
hey MasakoX, i have a question. what's up with Turles? like...I know Big Green dub says they are brothers, but in the japanese version and funimation fub they don't mention it. but what do you think? is this worth a video?
This is easy to mistake if you are not a comics fan, but the 90s was actually in unprecedented era of more dark themes in both storytelling and art design in comics. In fact we refer to this era as the dark age of comics. Now honestly there's really just lead to more "mature" storylines as in the kind of maturity that a teenager thinks is mature.
This was an error that begins with Alan Moore's the watchmen, and Frank Miller's the dark Knight returns. And is punctuated by such events like the death of Superman, the joker who hadn't killed anyone for 40 years kills Jason Todd the Robin at the time. The air of the killing joke. This was also seen as the rise of image comics, new titles like Spawn and Maxx, as well as vertigo comics and things like preacher and hell raiser. So yeah the 90s was not a time of kid friendly comics, quite the opposite actually
Awesome insight!
I need to go read that interview sometime!
This makes sense of a lot of things in dragonball as a whole. At heart Toriyama's a comedy writer. So the inconsistencies in db shouldnt be taken so seriously.
And when you look at how the Cell Saga turned out I see what he means by wanting to kill popular characters (Gohan stops training, Goku gets blown up, Trunks gets a hole blown in his chest).
Actually comics started to get darker with the story "The Dark Knight Returns" which was written in 1986. The reason why comics started to crash in the nineties was because they were too dark. It's why marvel's movie licenses are scattered in the wind, marvel had to sell the film right in order to stay afloat. DC had backing from Warner Bros. so they were able to get along just fine which is why DC still has their film rights. Due to Geoff John's love of the silver age of comics (the much more campy and ridiculous era from the later fifties to I think early seventies) he had a desire to make comics more uplifting. After the story 'Infinite Crisis' DC's comics began to change in that direction. Just a bit of information for ya Masako in case you were interested, if not my bad then. I'd recommend anything Geoff Johns has written if you're ever interested in reading comic books. Great video Masako!
MasakoX, I had an idea for a discussion video. Whom do you think is smarter, Dr. Briefs or Bulma? Personally I think there's sufficient evidence to support Bulma being smarter at this point in the current story.
This *does* go a long way towards explaining how Goku changed from 'I won't let you hurt my friiiiiennnds!!!" to "Hey, Krillin, Imma burn your face off!"
the mid to late 90s where literally the darkest and grittiest period of comics
Hey Masako, do you think you can elaborate on God Ki for us and how it differs from regular Ki? I always found it odd how Goku still stood up to Beerus after losing his God form, his body apparently learning from the experience. Like, by that logic, wouldn't he have stood a much better chance by going SSJ2 or SSJ3 after losing his God form?
I dont know if you discussed this already in your What if series, but...
What if Gohan went Mystic/Ultimate in the Cell games?
question for you Masako: "do you think that Toei and manga's publishers are still holding Toriyama down now that Super is going on?
Hey Masako, you should do a video on the educational Dragon Ball episode about fire safety
Gokus not a good guy, he's not a bad guy either...he's THE GUY! 😂😂
Mr Popo BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO x4 and a single yay.
Today is the day the first episode of Dragon Ball Z let's give thanks
Personally, shows like DBZ in my childhood helped shaped my love for comics, cartoons, anime, and manga today. Anyone else feel the same?
Hey masako can you talk about the filler acts or the creatures and monsters of the franchise
9:24 thats sooo true i hate it when movies or tv shows use their platform to get a point across than for entertainment
Nice Video!
I wish he'd open up more about Dragon Ball, since he's considered the father of all Manga and anime, everyone would listen to him, and honestly I'm just hoping if he ever does open up, all these stupid cannon non cannon, and who's stronger than who arguments will finally end.
Good lord, he's the Japanese Bill Watterson.
now i wanna try amd find the V-Jump fan suggestions to see what we could have had if he wasnt so "twisted" lol
Wow,Toriyama must've been a real dork to create "Great Saiyaman". Personally,I thought it was a refresher from the serious Cell saga.
You're incredibly wrong about American comics of the time. In the early 90's there was a huge comic boom with eXtreme and Edgy comics geared toward older adolescents with a big focus on the art. This lead to a bust in the latter half of the 90's because the stories sucked(and the speculation market dropped out). In response they started actually paying for writers and we got books like Preacher, Transmetropolitan, The Watchmen, and The Sandman.
hey masako nice vid
5:57 makes me think that Toriyama and George RR Martin are kindred spirits.
Mr.Toriyama should definitely be honest with his work, having the person you work for change the characters & story around because your original ideas aren't liked no wonder super is very different because Mr.Toriyama is making his way I can respect that. You should always make the show the way you want to,& if fans wanna add there ideas it's fine if it's not all far-fetched,so I'm glad he's making the show the way he wants to,he definitely deserves to. Awesome vid bro keep them coming I love watching your informal vids have a great day. 😀😁👍
Masako have you been hit hard with this RUclips advertising situation?
when MasakoX said Toriyama tryed to go wild with his storys and the editors tryed to control it that reminds with the universe police and ZEN-OH
Awesome!
Not gonna lie, having to watch a 15 second t shirt ad for a t-shirt I am definitely never going to buy before any of your videos on top of the ads youtube already give pisses me off. Like put the ad at the end of your video.
It's 15 seconds calm down

Well the evolution of comics to wider age ranges is interesting but really started in a big way in the 1980s, Maus, Watchmen etc.
Even that is not entirely accurate, before comics were mainly superheroes there was a lot of interest in horror comics. And really been lot of back and forth with maturity. So you know no one tell me about exceptions what I said I know just 80s was the birth of the modern ideals of comics of for all ages in mainstream comics
So Toriyama is making Goku the way he wants, which if I am correct is more like Sun Wukong aka Monkey, which is good. Especially when you consider Monkey caused mayhem for the gods in heaven and now in DBS, Goku is causing mayhem for the gods in heaven too. Will be interesting where he takes these characters in the future.
So was the end of the zamasu arc just one of those twisted trollings from ”Senpai”?
I think the same as toriyama sensei too.
Since i'm a child i only look at dragon bal, z, gt and now super as entertainment.
This is why i don't care about people reaching ssj forms easily, bullshit power boost as long as it entertain me i'm not going to stop watching db
Thank you Toriyama-sensei!!! That comment about dragon ball and western audiences was a real jab to those who are taking dragon ball for granted ever since super started! Which surprisingly is a lot.
Yeah western kids, keep saying: "Change super of I will never watch it" Because Tori-sensei really doesn't care of your opinion and in the end there will be no super what so ever for anyone like bandai did with Gundam.
P.S. Toriyama-sensei with Jackie Chan picture = awesome~!
It kinda makes me wonder what the other DBZ arcs would have been like if he was free to do whatever.
I'm actually really curious to see what Funimation's going to do with Goku for Super. I hope they do keep the character intact, though, because I really, really wanna see Sean Schemmel's take on the material.
