@enzo_tcg The French, Spanish, Italians, and Germans are Dragon Ball super fans. They were some of the first countries in the world to import and broadcast Dragon Ball in the late-'80s and early-'90s. And the Italian editions of my Dragon Ball books are some of my best-sellers.

@dario_rotelli Oh, man, I wish you could go. It's such a rare opportunity. Can you take a half-day off of work, or get someone to cover for you?

@jm3dpo @KosoKoso_hoso @botsu250522 @sKdKYgSTcjEy3Hg This is fascinating. Please give us more information about this document. Where and when did you acquire it? Who gave it to you or sold it? Is there a way to confirm that it is authentic? Perhaps by asking other Shonen Jump staff? Thank you.

@KosoKoso_hoso @botsu250522 @sKdKYgSTcjEy3Hg これって、当時の本物の依頼メモでしょうか……?! 手元にあるのですが、1984年の鳥山明先生への表紙依頼の内容と思われる書き込みがあって驚いています。 鳥嶋先生、もしお目に留まりましたら、これに見覚えはありますでしょうか?

@DailyDBIT @Venixys Thank you for taking the time to do research and provide sources. Since this claim is not proven by quotes from Toriyama or those who worked with him, your approach is a more helpful way of making an unsubstantiated claim. And it's easier to understand.

Anyone who wants credits, keep them. I just wanted to start a thread to discuss this. Thanks to everyone who helped me. Akira Toriyama took inspiration from Ougun Bat (Golden Bat/Fantaman) from 1971-72, a manga by Daiji Kazumine for chap. 417 and vol. 42 of Dragon Ball! (1/n)

Toyotaro drew Doctor Gero! He wrote: "This is what he looked like before he became an Artificial Human. Even Bulma approved [of his talent]. He was a genius scientist. So, it's like, was he evil from the beginning? Did he fall into evil? I'm curious." #dragonball

@XavArts Correct! And there are a lot more James Bond references throughout the manga. They're all explained in my Dragon Ball Culture series. Thanks for the credit.

@yoshihiro_anima Dragon Ball saved my life. When I was a bullied teenager and felt depressed and suicidal, Dragon Ball and Goku inspired me to persevere through the pain and to start practicing martial arts and transform my mind and body. Without Dragon Ball, I would be dead. I owe it everything.

@yoshihiro_anima I wrote a book about why Dragon Ball fans love the series. It's titled "Dragon Soul", named after the opening theme song of Dragon Ball Kai. It's filled with 81 inspirational stories from fans around the world, and 27 professionals who made the series. youtu.be/19gIGUt5Omw

@mylesjude2 Your comment reminded me that there were a lot of famous people and companies who came out as Dragon Ball fans after Toriyama died. It was emotionally overwhelming for me to try and archive each of them.

@derekpadula That's awesome to see. Dragonball's motion never ceases. I'd like to see a thread made by you of major people/organizations shouting out DB.
