Well, looks like Super continues to shit on Gohan. I suppose we should just change the phrase to he just got Gohan'ed instead of ''he just got Yamcha'ed.
Also, I've been wondering:
What do we know about Toriyama? I mean, we talk a lot about rumours and stuff we think he's true (like him forgetting Launch, which he apparently didn't do), but what do we know for a fact about him?
What does he think of his fans for instance? Does he reply to them much?
Has he ever considered long term plotting?
One Strip! One Strip!His favorite character is Piccolo, as stated in an interview
I believe mine would be Piccolo. He was the first character in my manga where I was like, "He has a scary face, but he's so cool!" It really is cliché when bad guys turn into good guys, but it just feels great drawing it!
Is this a Jo Jo reference?Heh.
Ok, that explains why Piccolo still kinda does stuff up until the Buu Saga (and even then, he lasts pretty long despite not being active in the fighting anymore).
One Strip! One Strip!Both good choices for fights.
I think I remember it being mentioned he liked the Gotenks vs Super Buu fight.
Can't blame him really.
Bah.
That's typical.
Doing shit on the spot and changing his mind on a whim sounds just like him.
One Strip! One Strip!Fair enough.
Anything on his relationship with the fans? He seems to answer questions (even if he changes his mind on the answers) but I have no idea how or if he interacts with them.
One Strip! One Strip!Better pacing and a more structured plot. Removing the by-the-pants writing would get rid of a lot of people's complaints, I think.
My various fanfics.The bare minimum of foreshadowing, the best thing about writing in my opinion.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.It's difficult for me to say just one thing, but I guess it'd be to keep the succession theme and never double back on its protagonist changes.
I was originally just going to say "keep Gohan as the main character" because I feel that change really hurt the series, but I wanted to be clearer that I don't want him to stay as the main character for all time. I feel Dragon Ball could handle succession very well compared to other series and it would make it easier to create new material that we're inevitably going to get.
It wouldn't even be that hard to have more fights for the side characters: everyone not named Goku takes out the Red Ribbon Army reinforcements while Goku solos the main base, Krillin recovers and beats Mummy, only to lose to Devilman, Demon King Piccolo makes a lot more kids and Tenshinhan, Chiaotzu, and Roshi beat them up, Chiaotzu fights a Saibaman before Krillin blows up the rest, have more Freeza Soldiers for Gohan and Krillin to fight and have Recoome go down due to the three-way team up, make some non-Android robots defending Gero's lab for the weaker fighters to fight while searching, have Babidi's forces fight the non-Saiyans before Buu takes over the Saga.

People who've read Dragon Ball from the start would know that this is nowhere near close to how absurd it really gets.
