Toriyama returns to Dragon Ball
Rich Johnston reports this morning that manga creator Akira Toriyama is going to write some new chapters of Dragon Ball (also known as Dragon Ball Z in the United States). Dragon Ball originally ran from 1984 to 1995 in Japan, and Viz Media published it in the U.S.
Johnston states the obvious: “Something that will make this event even more spectacular is a simultaneous fully translated worldwide launch of the new book.”
The Viz folks were tweeting last week about a big announcement to come this week, and they have already done a simultaneous release with Rumiko Takahashi’s Rin-ne, so this indeed may be their big news. Stay tuned!

I read somewhere that the story will somehow be related to Dragon Ball Online. I hope it’s true because if it is then my favorite character Future Trunks is gonna be returning on the main timeline as Time Patrol Trunks.

This should be a continuation, not some prequel.
Although I would like to see some Freeza backstory. He was the only villain not to have a prologue.

wow, I hope this is true, and this time toriyama will solve the GT problem… I hope he knows about Dragon Ball Multiverse, that would be a good choice…

Yeah don’t get your hopes up because there is a 99% chance this is fake or just a case of misinformation. Toriyama is doing a one-shot in an upcoming issue of Jump but it’s a completely different story form Dragonball. What could he gain from restarting a series that ended 15 years ago?

October 26, 2010 at 9:11 pm
I hope that this is real. That would be fantastic! I have to agree with Dakota, it’s not very likely that he would just suddenly pick up the series and keep going.
I can hope though.

I gotta say I doubt this for one major reason: There WERE “official” manga released not so long ago, not written by Toriyama, but considered official pieces of literature. One was Vegeta’s backstory under Frieza, which is oft considered canon, and the other was a manga of the last movie (Son Goku & Friends Return) which was drawn by a young woman named Naho Ooishi. Toriyama wrote an official entry in the piece, specifically stating he was passing things on to her because she actually remembers the story even better than he does. (She was a huge fan and studied under him, this was a series he wrote that ended well over a decade ago and he’s done a lot since) And that IF anything new came, it’d be through her.
As for the inevitable “OMG I hope it’s Multiverse/AF/DB Online… not likely. For one, DB online is waaaaaay too lose to have a coherent plotline. 9It’s a freaking MMORPG) and as for the others, they’re fanworks by others. He can’t just pick up their stuff and make it because he’d have to compensate their creators handsomely as well.
To be honest there’s one area fans in Japan have been asking for though: to see some of that missing seven years, or something focusing more on the human characters. (Plus Krillin was voted the Dragon Ball character the fans would most like to see a spinoff series of) so IF it happens, it probably won’t be from him and it’ll probably not be quite so epic as you hope.
Or it could be a better paced and plotted GT.

THIS IS GREAT! But I think is fake.

if it is true its most likely to take place between the last bit of just dragon ball, so goku’s teen years

DragonBall is the best anime series .. i cant wait for the new chapters ..

This is awesome news! I just hope that it continues to where Akira actually left off, and not make a sequel to Dragon Ball GT, because GT just takes away the feeling and intensity you would have from watching Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. And I hope there aren’t any Super Saiyan 4 or Super Saiyan 5. To me, they messes up the story that is Dragon Ball.

Hm.Come to think of it he said that he wont continue DB.But as the time goes he lanched game,Kai was done and many fan manga appeared.And mb he came up with idea to put sth in the middle of series and then give new episodes(like he did with vegetas brother)or mb he want to stop this shit manga made by fans or simply end db like he wanted.Damn it’s weird.I hope for new good story with art like from old series(not computer made one)but I feel that this will turn into sth crap not associated with DB series…

Tokio, Japón? Febrero 14, 2010 – FUNimation Entertainment, una subsidiaria de propiedad total de Navarra Corporation, ha anunciado hoy que ha llegado oficialmente a bordo para iniciar una nueva serie de anime Dragon Ball.
La nueva serie de Dragon Ball se compone de 125 episodios de media hora que será transmitido en Japón entre 2010 -2012. Es una adaptación de la segunda parte del manga Dragon Ball creada por Akira Toriyama.
A raíz de esta noticia emocionante, FUNimation Entertainment ha decidido re-estreno
Dragon Ball Temporada de instalación único incluye los primeros 31 episodios de la franquicia icónica y narra las primeras aventuras de Goku cuando era niño que conoce a Bulma, Maestro Roshi y otros. En conjunto, se propuso encontrar las siete bolas de dragón mágico y hacer que el deseo de que cambiará sus vidas para siempre.
? Este es un proyecto que hemos estado esperando durante mucho tiempo,? , dijo el general unaga ***, presidente de CEO de FUNimation Entertainment. ? Han pasado 20 años desde cualquier animación Dragon Ball nuevo ha sido puesto en libertad. Estamos muy contentos por decir lo menos.
La nueva temporada de Dragon Ball se llamará vengativo futuro, o FV Dragonball.
El nuevo Dragon Ball temporada estará disponible en TV Tokyo en todo el país el 15 de septiembre de 2010.
“Han pasado 20 largos años, me prometí a mí mismo me había dejado con Dragon Ball para siempre, pero los fans
una vez más me convenció, me siento muy emocionado de empezar a trabajar “-. Akira Toriyama, creador de Dragon Ball.
“Tatakai no Makuake! Kaette Kita zo Gok Hijo? “(??????! ?????????)

Oh yay. Because overrated, cliche and flawed shonen series need to be rebooted. I really hope he returns to the vein of Dragon Ball pre-volume 16.
Heck, no, I don’t, because series need to END. Toriyama understands that, his fanbase doesn’t.
Eh, I’ll probably read it no matter what. Even DBZ was an okay read and Toriyama is a really talented guy.

I hope it’s right after the Kid Buu Saga (and before DBGT), so we could see moree of DBZ

Im excited to know that the dbz series will continue,but i hope its not lame…i love dbz and as said before a bit over due but us fans deserve to see what the future holds for our anime series,…what was goku’s training like with the dragon when he left,is there another level of ssj beyond ssj4.there has been so much said over the years of dbz that keep us in suspense to see where it all ends when actually it really doesnt…you cant leave us hangin so what ever it is i hope it on a whole new level.
Bardock lives in goku
February 19, 2011 at 6:12 pm

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! If it is true that Akira Toriyama is returning to do a new Dragonball series then I think they should go ahead and name this one dragonball AF for alternate future because it would be a different future than GT while still staying with the current storyline of DB and DBZ.
