Heh, Araki did Goku and Toriyama did Jotaro.

Kubo's piece is nice. I can see why he did some designs for Dragon Quest just like Toriyama.

Is Kishimoto's piece the Pirate Robot?

I just watched a French guy review a book written almost entirely in Japanese for 23 minutes JUST because the book was about Dragon Ball. The only language I know is English. GG life, no regrets!

Poor Toribot.

And they're still on Namek. [lol]

Still on Namek and complaining about his whim-based writing style, no less. [lol]

We all love you, Toriyama.

Apparently Freeza's manga colors replace the pink with orange.

That happens sometimes. The anime was basically guessing at a lot of the colors they used.

Of course, the whole "I heard you'd forgotten how to draw me" is also perfectly in character for Toriyama.

I'm sure the guy wouldn't be able to draw Chrono if you asked him to.

He's basically Goku so he should be able to so long as he can draw Goku.

Goku's manga gi appears to be Keet Orange (between orange and yellow). Also, we already knew that Vegeta was spared due to having fans, but is this the first official confirmation that Freeza was invented to replace him?

I believe Gohan describes it as golden yellow in the manga.

Frieza was invented to be an even less likable character than Vegeta that would die in his place? Akira Toriyama, you Magnificent Bastard. I read your book!

At Frieza's hand no less.

Still, I guess that explains why Frieza is suddenly a thing after it had previously been hinted that the Saiyans were the ones running the planet trade.

Doesn't the story goes that Vegeta's death on Namek was supposed to be permanent?

The one thing I definitely remember reading was that Toriyama killed off Vegeta on Namek partially BECAUSE the readers were telling him not to.

Because Toriyama doesn't care what anyone thinks sometimes.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

He still brought him back not long after though.

Toribot very specifically says that Vegeta was originally supposed to die to Goku but he didn't because fans loved him too much and Toriyama wasn't sure how they'd react.

Seriously, we get the word straight from the horse's mouth in a completely unambiguous way and people still get it wrong. I don't understand the Dragon Ball fandom at all.

Like with any fandom, there are a lot urban legends. Many that contradict each other.

But the thing that people were just talking about that lead to this conversation told the real story. That's what confuses me.
