Ask *drumroll* AKIRA TORIYAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nikku - M-My master...!!! *Bows several times as Toriyama enters the room in his Tori-Bot mask*

Akira - Hello everyone, I'll be pleased to answer any questions you have at the moment!

Nikku - *Faints*

Akira - Don't slouch Nikku!

Dracarot: An honor to be in your presence sir! Tell me why didn't you do anything to those that made Dragonball Evolution whilst we, uh may have uh, gone over board a little... (Thinks back to all the tortures we've put the cast and directors through)...

AKIRA TORIYAMA!!! Is this really you???? I can't believe that I actually get a chance to ask you questions! It truly is an honor to meet you! I actually have so many things to ask you that I don't know where to start.
Anyway, let's start with this:
How could it happen that james w(r)ong messed up your must successful story? I mean he really is a criminal for doing that!

And this is what I've always wanted to know: How did you come up with the idea of making dragonball? This story has such an impact talk after more than 20 years, it is still so popular! Is there a secret formula?

I wish I have more time, but unfortunately I have to go now, so hope to see ya next time!

Ordinarily I would let AKira Toriyama answer this, but because I can answer for one of his inspirations I shall speak, Dragon Ball was originally based off a tale called Monkey Tales of the West, which in its first part tells of the Great Monkey King who was born from a stone egg who grew so powerful he challenged heaven but was imprisoned by Buddha until he repented. The next part of the tale told of the Buddhist Priest Tripitaka who was sent out to acquire scriptures from India to bring Buddhism even greater respect in China. ALong the way he recruited monkey, as well as Pigsy and Sandy former marshals in the hosts of heaven who were thrown out for their wrong doing. Pigsy would become the inspiration for Oolong with his lust, greed and lack of manners, Monkey would become Goku who was originally intended to be just a super strong human (with a tale, creating origins in magic, rather than space), Tripitaka would become the model of Bulma always worried over his (or her in Bulma's case) safety, and constantly trying to get his task accomplished, Sandy had no real personality but his sense of mystery probably served as a model of Yamcha, and then the great Akira expanded upon these blue prints and created the masterpieces we know as Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z.

Hey hey, Akira-san akira-san!
are super sayins REAL?

Akira - Sorry for the wait folks! I've been drawing a new manga with everyone here as the main characters! Anyways, lets get down to some answering!

Akira - An honor? Gosh, thank you very much! I actually did try to get them to stop, but they all wanted the money. I told them where they could stick DBE and they instead said that I had given the project my blessing and that I had met and loved the cast! I hated those assholes! That Chadwick or whatever his name is was a total dick.

Akira - Haha, you're overreacting, but thanks a lot! Its always great to meet the fans, here have an original signed Goku picture! In answer to your question; he messed it up, because, as stated above, all those pricks cared about was the money, greedy bastards. I was truley sickened by what they did with my baby! W(r)ong actually had the balls to say that if I even called him a nasty name then he would sue me for not just my money, but Dragonball and DBZ as well!! I hit him anyway and he tried to sue me, but the judge and jury were my family members! W(r)ong is currently serving 5 years in a burly man's prison. A gay burly man's prison. ^_______________^

Akira - Wow...! Are you trying to steal my job? Hahaha! Brilliant description!

Akira - Jessie-Chan! Jessie-Chan! Og COURSE super Saiyans are real! Lookie!

*Transformes into SSJ Akira Toriyama, then transforms back*

Akira - Pretty cool huh? ^___^

Neigh I do not wish to take your job Mr. Toriyama, although my knowledge is great yours still surpasses mine, for you were the one able to expand upon the works, and make them your own, suffering only from three things, one being your occasional memory issues (example Launch in DBZ), two having to bring back Goku because the fans said so (this can be construed as either positive or negative depending on whether your in the Goku or Gohan camp which each has their own defense blah blah blah). Finally your failure to maintain our beloved power levels so excessive nerds/geeks like us could mindlessly calculate them and use then in our debates properly. Yet with only three flaws over how many stories I cannot complain. Oh and are you ever going to make an english dub of the anniversary special where you unveiled Tarble, it's still nice to see even if I have to read the sub titles, it would be cooler to hear it in my native ton.

Oh and how goes the work on the Dragon Ball online game?

Akira - Wh... Who's this "Launch" person? I also brought Goku back because, well, I love 'im and so does everyone else! Also, I was worried about upsetting the fans you see! And the power levels?? HA! Fans wanted them to get so out of hand that I just eventually dropped 'em! Unfortunately, I don't have anything to do with the English Dub of DB/DBZ/DBK so you're guess as to weather they'd dub it is as good as mine. Although, Funimation aren't dubbing the Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans anime included with Raging Blast 2, so I don't think they'll ever dub it. And work on DBOnline goes good! I'm constantly coming up with more and more designs for the game! Can you find my avatar when I enter the virtual world?? ^____^

WOW, thank you very much! One more question for you: who is your favorite DB/Z/GT character?

deltafrank wrote:WOW, thank you very much! One more question for you: who is your favorite DB/Z/GT character?

Akira - No problem! In answer to your second question, my favorite characters are Piccolo and Goku.
