Debunking Misinformation about the Future of Dragon Ball without its Creator 

The fact that Toyotaro said that the beast form in the new chapter isn’t different and that he just forgot to draw the pupils is a sign to me that Dragonball is in good hands!

FACT: Toriyama's vision INCLUDED passing off the torch Toyotaro. It just happened sooner than planned.

If it wasn’t Akira Toriyama anime wouldn’t be where it is today😢

Akira Toriyama will always be remembered as one of the greatest Manga Anime creators of all time.

The way Toyotaro spoke of Toriyama his sensei, he's gonna pour his heart and soul into every chapter moving forward. He knows Toriyamas up there with King Kai watching over him from other world.

I get that people might theorize about the future of Dragon Ball, but PURPOSELY spreading lies and misinformation at a time like this just for nothing is a new level of low.

Even Government Agencies and political leaders around the world are mourning Toriyama's passing, something I didn't expect. That's how powerful Toriyama's work inspired us. Toriyama will be surely missed

Seeing Torishima’s statement made me tear up, he’s the one that believed in Toriyama and gave him his break into Shonen, his statement really touched me because he watched the journey, he was there from the start and now has to say goodbye to someone he watched go from submitting one shot mangas to earn money just to buy cigarettes and go to cafes to creating the most influential manga of all time. It’s sad because both Torishima and Nozawa were older than Toriyama but both are now having to say goodbye to him

Toriyama brought so many people together. For me personally, Dragon Ball allowed to make friends with other fans at a point in my childhood when it was difficult for me to make friends. Even though I never met him, I am grateful for his work. R.I.P. to a true legend.

I’m hoping Dragon Ball doesn’t take the same fate as SpongeBob, when Stephen Hillenburg passed away, Nickelodeon decides to make multiple SpongeBob spin off series, and it ends up being terrible. I’m hoping this doesn’t happen to Dragon Ball.

R.I.P Legend Akira toryiama 🐐

I feel fairly confident in Toyotaro getting us through Black Frieza & up to End of Z. Especially if some of the planning of it happened while Toriyama was alive. It's Daima that I'm more concerned about since the concept really might need that Toriyama magic to make it work.

Toriyama will forever live in our hearts 🕊 greetings from the entire Spanish speaking Dragon Ball comunity and El Salvador 🙌

Dragonball is so much more than an anime/manga/games/musc. It's Toriyamas soul and part of ours as well.

RIP Akira Toriyama... Dragon ball was my first anime that I started to binge to watch the whole episodes.

It's like the entire planet is crying. Haven't seen anything like this as an adult.

I do love how EVERYBODY has come together to show respect for Toriyama. Everybody from other mangaka to the Smurfs, Archie Comics and even Axe Body Spray made a tribute post to him. Toriyama’s works have touched the lives of so many people around the globe and his loss is definitely felt.

Toriyama was basically the king of Manga with how revolutionary his writing was. I miss reading his writing back in the late 80s and early 90s now more then ever.

the way saiyan saga, frieza saga and cell saga were all connected was brilliant writing ngl

I never understood the deep regret when famous people died, I never understood when everyone around me was deeply said when the Queen of England died. But dam toryiama going has made me feel all sorts of emptiness. Rip tori

As a professional athlete who sprints for a living…. I find myself looking to dragon ball in my weakest and strongest moments 🙏🏾 amen thank you for everything toriyama

I'm more than happy to see Toyotaro become Toriyama's succsessor. Toriyama knew what he was doing in terms of picking the person who he hands his lifes work too

Hope everyone's doing okay ❤

Please immortalize Toriyama-sensei into some kind of deity character in the franchise, or make a special figure of him, just something to really remember him by. Him making an appearance and so am I in the show would just be the icing on the cake to me to keep his spirit alive.

Toyotaro has a lot to step up to. Only time will tell how the series will go from here.

honestly, if you ask me, toriyama was no mere celebrity, he was far more than that, his impact and the joy he has brought people dwarves anything a mere celebrity could do, he is an icon, a man of legend, that is fact, anyone who says toriyama is anything less, is lying to themselves

Toriyama is the reason I even started watching anime. RIP to the man who got the ball rolling out here for everyone.

I have to thank my dad for showing me dragon ball, I was 5 when he first showed me, I'm 30 now so I been a fan for a long time , I hope dragon ball don't change, my condolences for the great sensei may he rest in peace

I can imagine Toriyama left behind an updated will, and as far as Dragonball is concerned, I'm sure he wants it to be continued to where Toyotaro may have to continue writing the story of the super Manga with a bunch of writing editors to help out.

Its Toyotarou's time. He made that old DB AF comic back in the day, and hes already mirroring Toriyama in ways (he forgot to draw Beast Gohans pupils🥹). I feel the series is in good hands

The afterlife welcomes you Akira Toriyama. Time to chill and relax with King Kai (would be cool if they had his Tori-bot cameo on King Kai’s planet like Stan Lee, as someone who stumbled upon it and Goku gets to meet him but Tori-Bot says he knew all about him already - I know there’s the noncanon version where Goku met him, but this would be canon)

Forever in our hearts. R.I.P Toriyama Sama 🐉❤️‍🔥🐲

Thanks for all you have done recently! It has really help lift our spirits!😊😊😊❤❤❤

I always thought toriyama was old as a kid for some reason I thought he was 80 And yet here he is dead at 68 I always thought with his quiet lifestyle he’d live to be in his 80s it’s so shocking

Could Toriyama’s son continue producing “Daima”? He supervised “DBS:SH” to great results,I guess….

I hope it can only get brighter from here

The entire world reacting to it is very beautiful the way it has and is I am veey thankful and cry a tear of joy from seeing the way the world has reacted to Toriyama's passing... I ignore all bad apples that try to come my way now if I ever see them lol social media is goofy man but you know how it is.

I kinda trust Toyotaro but toriyama always had to correct him and help him with goku’s character. So now that toriyama is no longer with him there’s no telling how Toyotaro will write dragonball now, toyotaro said toriyama would help him out alot 😭

Crazy bro I’ve been watching you since 2015 when I was 14 with the resurrection F movie leaks, to the end of Super in 2017 to the 2019 Broly movie, to the death of the legendary artist 2024, been a honor bro, almost 10 fucking years, congrats on your journey brother🥊🔥

I think toyotaro will put the manga on another break before continuing with the next arc. I don't know if there's any possibility of the anime returning now though

Man I don't often comment on your videos or even go hit the like button all the time but I appreciate you always being there to bring us the latest on DB. Been following you for many years and like all of us, DB and Akira Toriyama held a very special place in my heart. Just want to thank you for what you do. Its been really refreshing to have a youtube page to go to for credible news and information on the series past, present and future. I know its not the end of Dragonball but it definitely has that feeling to it. I'm really tore up about the whole thing. Just imagining how after this year I'll probably never see new original work by Akira Toriyama again. Its hard to explain how much his work impacted my life and I'm sure many people feel the same way. Anyways, keep doing you and bringing us great content man. Thank you for all you do.

I’m not sure why I thought the Dragon Ball franchise was permanently, going to end because Akira Toryiama sadly passed away 🙏🏾

Akira Toriyama's Legacy is a damn good example of how A.I. can't completely replace Human Imagination. As A.I. can now copy Toriyama's Varied Styles now that such is established but, it could never "Invent It To Begin With" !

The question I have is whether or not DB Daima will be abruptly concluded and rushed since this series was clearly Toriyama's vision and pet project and other people involved in Dragonball may not be as passionate about it holding up the continuation of Super. I hope the Dragon Room and Toyatorou will finish Daima in a way that Toriyama would have directed it rather than cave to what the "critics" want.

Its unimaginable to see what is to come without him. This loss is really really heavy. I see so many tributes and i breakdown all over. Thank you for your informative and hardworked content.

I wonder what will happen now with Vegeta's character since Toriyama has passed on. Will he finally win against a main villian or would Toyotaro be faithful to Toriyama's wishes to continue the tradition of Vegeta's L streak.

It's so painfully sad and so sudden that the shock still has me in a state of shock that i still haven't processed or begin to grasp. At the same time it was beautiful to see the amount of people and press coverage its receiving gives me gentle warm feeling like everyone is seeing the beauty in this show that Ive seen for years an that makes me feel great. RIP Akira Toriyama definitely changed my life when I came across this Anime

Its bitter sweet that dragon ball daima is the last of toriyama

You have been the most real dragon ball fan, news, fair critiques, promoter of all time. You got a real passion and you so glad you are holding the tribute flag for Akira Toriyama. I'm shook. I sub to a lot of channels and just about everyone is tributing, even tho they got nothing to do with anime, games, art or cartoons on their channel.

I think that the production committee involved (Shueshia,Toei, Bandai, Capsule Corp and Toriyama's Estate) are gonna have to make new plans on where to take the Dragon Ball franchise going forward

Well, as we all know, if it's not specifically from Akira toriyama, then it is not canon. Meaning that, from now on, nothing is canon

I feel sad about the lost of the biggest creator of my favorite manga and anime, and I wouldn’t like his creation start changing or evolving with things happening now days, because it’ll be as sad as his lost, and my heart will be crushed if this happens. Goku was always the main character, and Toriyama was always true to that, and not only because of that, but the history of dragon ball itself.

Toriyama has done what no one else’s has done recently in a divided world he has been able to unite us once again even if it’s for a little while. Now that’s is Toriyamas gift to us.

Word is Toriyama is now in otherworld. He met Stan Lee the other day, Stan asked him how he died and Toriyama said "Umm I don't remember"

I still can't believe he's gone. I've cried so many times he helped shape who I am today Rest Easy we'll keep your spirit alive

Thank you for everything! I've gotten through some hard times watching your videos on Toriyama's work!

Sadly the higher ups now has full control of the series moving forward and will have the final say of what gets approved regardless if toyotaro and/or iyoku is head of those projects they still have to answer to their bosses

Toriyama contributed so much to my childhood. I am 33 now, i had stopped watching for years for lack of time throughout most of ny sdult years. Always looking back with fondly toward all the memories I had from my childhood watching Dragon Ball. I started watching again in my late 20s. Now I have two sons, 6 and 4. We watch Dragon Ball together. We read the Manga together. My love for Dragon Ball has returned, and being able to bond with my sons over what was such a huge pain of my own childhood has given so much more meaning to Dragon Ball for me. Very thankful for this man.

It's like Stan lee all over again. Toriyama has been one of my biggest inspirations as an artist and just as an enjoyer of entertainment. His unique style, comedy, action, he's just legendary. I think the franchise is in good hands unlike what happened after Stan lee passed with marvel. I still can't believe both of them are gone now. I think they should put his pen in a museum

Toyotarou will have to take over. Toriyama might of had drafts and concepts for several projects before his passing.

the only major concern i have is that his legacy might get usurped by people that don't like the guy like what happened with marvel after stan lee died. hopefully toyotaro has the final say in matters, i think he'll keep true to toriyama's vision but if it were purely in the hands of toei then i would definitely be worried.

Toyotoro has the right spirit. I have faith in him.

I mean, he did make a dragon ball 100 years after or something like that, where he went to explain what happened with the gang after the end of z, maybe some of that gets adapted? Like goten and trunks finding a sword school, gohan making a book on ki, ms.buu and all that stuff.

I could see Akira Toriyama and Stan Lee as friends or close friends if they were?

I know Toyotarou has been trying his best but now with Toriyama gone, the training wheels are off and I fear Toyotarou is going to heavily overwork himself from now on. Hope he starts doing better sooner than later but we all know that out of anyone outside of his family, this death hit him the hardest.

Toriyama is the reason I got into anime in the first place. Dragonball is one of those franchises that will be cherished forever and toriyama will be my favorite manga creator. I hope his family will be OK and I wish them the best. Thank you geekdom for being a fellow Dragonball enjoyer and always bringing great and interesting videos that make me love dragonball even more.

I think the fact that he stayed humble, he never flaunted or bragged, many say he didn't even know how huge he was........but he knew. He was in all honesty super rich, yet unlike others he wasn't jetting around, cruising on million dollar yachts! He stayed simple and true to his heart and passion! We lost his body, but his soul has been with us since he first started! He lives on and will continue to live on in us adults that play the games to the kids trying to go super saiyan in their living rooms, I think he will be there smiling that wonderful open gentle smile! Rest In Peace, your rest is well deserved. ❤

Thanks for your updates and clarifications as always.

I shed a few tears too. Surprised me. But I looked down at my db tattoos and it just hurt. I pray they continue the story and do it the justice it deserves.

Honestly I’m sad that he won’t be around to see where things go, but I know he’s watching from Otherworld. I’m just glad that he got to see Super Hero before his passing because we know how much he loved Piccolo and Gohan, and I’m sure he can see just how much the world loves and misses him now that he’s gone. Just an incredible worldwide response for the legend himself.

I remember when Toyotaro was heavily involved with DBS, I remember thinking that we have a future successor to Toriyama who will further the dragon ball franchise for many years to come. But I personally didn’t think it would this soon. 😢

What ever happens I'm okay with because he was literally able to finish telling his story. Super was basically him doing extra stuff out of passion and love. Rip to the goat

I keep forgetting I’ve watched your videos since the days of Resurrection F. I’ll be with ya’ whenever and whatever you decide to do. I’m gonna personally feel this sting for ages to come. I send my regards to everyone involved with making the Dragon Ball Franchise as well as Toriyama-Sensei’s family especially.

Hope his family are well and hope Toyotarou ready to take the reigns

Still processing that

RIP Toriyama Sensei! whatever may happen to the franchise in the near future, we will all be here to respect his legacy and keep spreading how much of a genius he was for the shonen industry and for humans beings who are giving beautiful tributes. I believe saw the president of France hours ago doing a tribute to Toriyama, i feel like his name is on every corner of the world and people will know how much he meant for everyone.

Dragonball will never be the same. This is the end.

Yes I cried all night the day I found out that he passed away. It was so sudden and out of nowhere. Rest in peace Akira Toriyama and thank you for all that you've done for the world.

RIP Toriyama. GOAT. Legend. A good chunk of my childhood and growing up from being a middle schooler to being a man comprises of his work. I wouldn't have never gotten into anime/manga if it wasn't for him. I will never forget the days of first getting into the series watching it on Nicktoons/CW with Kai, and also binge watching it online.

"Without Toriyama" made my heart dropped 😞 damn man

It's a hard cruel lesson for whoever is involved, if you take too long postponing something important, like writing about the end of Z forward, you might just never be able to do it. We might never know now how the creator really thought things with Ubb, Goten, Trunks and Pan would go

He inspired me to evolve my art style but who knows how long it'll be but knowing he's gone there might be dark days for all us down the tunnel but let's hope we see the light at the end of the tunnel

Hopefully they had a session with him where they were like just rapid fire going down like 20 arcs (basically 100 years of content lol) where they were like okay and after Moro what then and then after that and then salada and then angel side drama thing with zenos parents. Just to get an idea of like what it could look like

I actually hope they just finish Daima and Super and then let the series rest out of respect for Toriyama. Its not dragon ball without him.

capsulecorp and toyotaro will do what is necessary. toyo should do the manga by him self. hes earned it at this point of time. the schoolar should become the master.

i wonder if he had locked away a secret ending for Goku, cause now he simply flies off to train... i wonder if he ever had a solid ending for Goku and friends RIP Sensei...

I really do hope they announce something soon b/c I was concerned that his would be the end of the franchise and everything else that he was involved in like Dragon Quest and others outside of Daima and ending off DBS, of course

This franchise is the 2nd most important to me, now I have thoughts.

Used to come home from work just in time to watch the Toonami run of Sailor moon DBZ, and Gundam wing. Other than Akira that was the first time I was able to really start diving into anime. Later came Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Neon Genesis, and more from sailing the high seas. If not for Toriyama, I probably wouldn't have ever done the dive into anime as a whole. The man was a legend and will be missed. King Yama better take good care of our boy here.

Its just so crazy to know he's gone! I recently started to get back into dragon Ball content. Its like some how my body and soul knew something bad had happend. RIP Toriyama!!❤️

Rest in peace akira toriyama

Rest In Peace Akira Toriyama

First off, I'm glad you did this video debunking some of these stories, Geekdom! I would be shocked if the Dragonball franchise ended anytime soon. The reason I say that is, look at the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise post Kazuki Takahashi's passing, and yes, the circumstances are different, but still, the card game is still going, anime is still being produced, Konami even opened up their own animation studio for crying out loud! Now, am I saying Capsule Corp Tokyo or whoever is in charge of the franchise will open up their own animation studio, most likely not. But the point I'm making is, I don't see the manga ending anytime soon, and I think the DBS anime will eventually return as well. I would also be shocked if the manga and/or the anime doesn't go past the End of Z, will it be different without Toriyama at the helm, absolutely! But my feeling is if Yu-Gi-Oh can continue on, most certainly Dragonball can as well, it just won't be the same without Toriyama!

I am so sad, man. Dragon Ball was a huge part of my childhood. I will be honest, Dragon Ball is not the first anime that I watched. I watched anime like Bakugan and Pokémon back when they were popular. Mainly Pokémon. I also watched things like LBX: Little Battler's Experience, and other animes. However, it was when I actually saw Dragon Ball Z Kai on Nicktoons first when my love for Dragon Ball started. And I have seen some famous RU-vidrs talking about Dragon Ball and Toriyama's passing and one guy said that Dragon Ball became the top 3 anime with One Piece and others, but he said that without Dragon Ball there would be no top 3 anime, because Dragon Ball really drew people in and got people invested into anime, and I cannot disagree with that. That is how it was for me. Thank you for contributing to my childhood, Akira Toriyama.

I went to shopping today and to other places. I was wearing my Dragon Ball T-shirt and a couple of random people came up to me and said I still can’t believe he’s gone. This shit hurts! 😔Rest In Peace Toriyama Your work touched so many people. ✊🏻🙏🏾

Thank you Akira you got me through my truama as a little boy dragon ball and Z helped me survive the abuse and neglet. Without you the world would be a little darker. We all will continue to support your amazing creation and remember what you did for us RIP.

It still hurts and will always hurt. R.I.P the greatest Legend! My life wouldn't be whst it is today without your influences.

A man who never cheated the community, thank you for all you’ve done 🤝🏽

Toyotaro’s the man of the Dragon Ball house now. I wonder & can’t even grasp nor comprehend what he’s going through & what’s going on with him & in his mind rn. Imagine coming from being a creator of a fan manga & then all of a sudden your idol, inspiration, HERO & then soon to be sensei, master, mentor, I’m sure & hope a father figure of some sorts, & friend chooses you to be his successor & for you to take over the reigns of his story & art after he’s gone. He lost his Jiriaya. Hopefully he’s good & alright. And I wonder what’s he gonna do & how’s he’s going to be the man to take over after this. It’s his now. Hopefully he does good. And hopefully Shuiesha & all their corporate & business don’t ruin the STORY & ART of Dragon Ball. A lot is on the line rn. All we can do is support Toyotaro as much as we can. He got some SHOES to fill.

Thank you for this video Geekdom101, us Dragon Ball fans need to be kind and loving to each other.
