You also did things like the designs for original characters such as Broli and Coola, didn’t you?
I don’t think the number is very large… but I think I did do it occasionally, when a request came in. However, I basically left things up to the [anime] staff. I didn’t really check the scripts that carefully, either….

My sincerest gratitude to all those who bought this Dragon Ball movie DVD box! With these movies, the Dragon Box series finally comes to a close.

In most cases with the movies, the script writers used their marvelous techniques to write up an original story, based on my original work [i.e., the manga]. The original work develops in such a way that it makes it difficult to come up with side-stories, so I think they really did a good job.

I was very busy during serialization, so I couldn’t really help them out, but every once in a while the producer would ask me to design an original enemy character for the movies, so that was the only time that I’d collaborate with them a little bit. But that sure was hard… Even though I had all these strong-looking characters appearing in the manga, and was already at my limit material-wise, I still had to think up even stronger designs… Really, they’re all such a strong-looking bunch that it raises my blood pressure.

Still, this allowed them to make these amazing movies that are so powerful and effective, so what am I complaining about?

As the creator of Dragon Ball, I’m thoroughly made aware of what a happy manga it is, blessed by its fans and staff.”

– Akira Toriyama

And something for Battle of Gods.

This was the first time that I participated in creating the story for a theatrical Dragon Ball anime. But that isn’t to say that I was requested to participate; rather, while I thought the concepts in the story I received were good, the contents were a bit dark, and in the midst of making partial changes, I got carried away, and ended up making it into an almost completely different story. That’s the correct way to put it. Since the creator was the one making the changes, I suppose I may have caused a lot of trouble for the production side of things. For the scriptwriter in particular, it can’t have been pleasant.

However, since it’s the first Dragon Ball animation in a long time, I also intended to get people acquainted with it, not just through fighting, but by enjoying this silly, lively world to the fullest. Plus, things like getting involved with the world of a God of Destruction, Vegeta’s breakdown, and Goku not being victorious were all episodes that would be very difficult to touch upon if it weren’t the creator doing it.

The last part in particular, where the main character Goku is unable to win, was a bit of a dangerous gamble going by existing theory. By doing that, however, I was able to preserve the dignity of Beerus, rumored to be the strongest there is. With respect to Goku, as well, I incorporated a message that, by having a future goal to shoot for, Dragon Ball will not end.

For the battle scenes, I wrote the rough idea of their exchanges, and left the rest up to the animation pros. Thanks to them, they made them into powerful fight scenes that I wouldn’t have been able to conceive of on my own. This sort of thing is the fruit of the various techniques employed by professionals that you can find only in animation.

The main character Goku is a strong, pure, good person, but he’s also a battle-obsessed, hopeless case of a human being, who has some issues as a father. Yet for some reason, he possesses a mysterious, lighthearted charm that keeps his circle of friends growing and growing.

If you could please enjoy that Dragon World without thinking about anything, I’ll be happy.

What sort of scenes were cut out?
Among the cut scenes, there was one scene I wrote where Goku is in a pinch, and everyone goes to help him, even though they know it’s hopeless. It goes on so that in the end, even Satan tries to help.

Satan3 is a hopeless case, but he’s a character who also feels that he wants to help in some way. I suppose this was left out for time issues. In the original story, for fun, I made Satan say lots of things like, “I have a stomachache, so I’ll protect everyone from here!” (laughs)

I just found some of these tidbits interesting, especially the first one and the one about M14, the former of which may help dismiss those sappy cases of people claiming The Man Himself checked over the scripts so everything in it must've been A-OK with him.

May not interest you fine fellas, but ah well.

It doesn't really surprise me, but it makes me wonder what the original Battle of Gods plot was.

In the original plot beerus was a lizard instead of a cat and his name was going to be virusu(pun for virus). He would come and spread a virus on earth making everyone evil. I don't think they revealed anything else that's I all I remember reading about it

I would have loved to see the original plot of BoG VS the boring plot (at least IMO) that we got in the finished product.

OT: Good find Pyrus, this outta clear some things like "Toriyama checked every measly detail word for word" or something akin to that.

BoG plot leaves a future for DB though. The old plot actually darkens future potential.

I don' really want to see any post EoZ content though. I'm fine with the story as it is.

Maybe that's just me I suppose.
