If you know spanish or french those translations are much more accurate than the english. overall VIZ is pretty legit. I just dont like the japanese to english. Its ugly.

Toei doesn't have anything to do with Viz, unless I'm looking at my manga incorrectly. Toei isn't mentioned anywhere in any volumes.

So? what does production of the magazine have to do with its contents? nothing. toei owns DBZ, do i really need to tell you no one can just do what they want? in the world of business you need other peoples permission to show their stuff. if you think viz did this on their own without approval then you should brush up on how copyright law works. its a partnership, so why you think toei needs to produce the book in order to claim its property is beyond me. i love how the two of you agree on everything, makes you both wrong at the same time.

In order to distribute DBZ, viz would need to either be produced or a partner in collaboration with DBZ/TOEI and since the anime has grown BIGGER than the manga, everything directly related to DBZ itself is related to the anime. as the anime is solely DBZ and NOT the manga which is Dragonball. DBZ is an adaptation of the Dragonball manga. In other words, licensing rights are only passed along to the guys making money off of the product itself and not the marketed name. DBZ. So whoever toriyama made the manga FOR owns the manga, all distribution and character rights belong to the biggest provider, and thats toei. Like stated, the manga related people get a small cut check of the proceeds. But all toys, promotionals, and character references are made by and through TOEI.

Until I see Toei's name on a Viz manga, I ain't believing a darn thing you say, sir! Shueisha, Bird Studio, and AT are mentioned. Toei is not.
