“They leave no real lasting impact”: Toyotarou’s Coverage of Dragon Ball Has One Glaring Flaw That Akira Toriyama Thoroughly Avoided in His Manga Till His Passing

The Dragon Ball franchise has gifted fans with several memorable moments and characters. Akira Toriyama bound all the Dragon Ball lovers with his magical storytelling. When he retired from being a manga artist, the franchise’s graph drastically fell, and he had to pick up his pen again. In Dragon Ball Super, Toyotarou and him would work together to create the magic.
While Toyotarou did most of the work, Toriyama would take over during the crucial phases or guide the young mangaka. Dragon Ball Super anime went into a hiatus after the Tournament of Power arc, but the manga has been ongoing. Toyotarou is a great mangaka, but when it comes to Dragon Ball, he has yet to shine in a particular aspect in which Toriyama used to excel.
