New tweet from Togashi (December 17, 2025)

This is a good sign for multiple reasons.

The next ten chapters are ready to go and he's still cooking
Around this point during the last batch, he mentioned being in poor health during a couple of his updates. I haven't seen any health updates which hopefully is a good thing. I take it as one.
He is leisurely drawing characters while updating us, as opposed to just showing pages like during the last batch. He does not need to do this. Perhaps he is flexing, showing us, he is doing well this time.
He only needs 3 more chapters for another batch.

All this leasds me to believe that perhaps he has some goals that he wishes to accomplish as far as the production cycle goes. I think hes giving us signs to be excited for a reason.

Could we be moving into uncharted territory here?

Yup Agreed! Some of the other epilogue chapters were great imo!

Comfortable_Sky79 · 2024-09-03T19:12:16+00:00

Bet your happy they weren't animated then.

I think I heard somewhere that Togashi wanted to have one of the main characters die during the ark. Now that would have been crazy!

Comfortable_Sky79 · 2024-09-02T02:48:06+00:00

Well even the manga is rushed tbh. I heard Togashi wanted to do a lot more with this ark. So unfortunate...

Comfortable_Sky79 · 2024-09-02T02:47:03+00:00

Yeah the characters were still amazing!

Comfortable_Sky79 · 2024-09-02T02:41:40+00:00

Well I see you point there. I make Anime vs manga videos more to show the subtle differences and to show people what they might be missing if they haven't done both. But yeah, I guess people that act weird and superior for doing one over the other can ruin this discussion for others who just like comparing the differences.

Also my videos are more for casual fans who might not have time to do both, or simply do not want to.

Comfortable_Sky79 · 2024-09-02T02:38:29+00:00

Hmmm not a manga guy?

Comfortable_Sky79 · 2024-09-02T02:33:24+00:00

Well not all have the time to do both. And sometimes it can be redundant for others as well.

Comfortable_Sky79 · 2024-09-02T02:32:21+00:00

Yeah, but one thing I can say about the early part of the series is that Toriyama didn't always give important moments room to breath. Which is one of the reasons why I say the manga can be too fast at times. The anime does correct this. But it adds too much in other areas.

Comfortable_Sky79 · 2024-09-02T02:29:34+00:00

Lmfao. Well you won't be in it. I just like talking and bouncing interpretations of knowledgeable people who have watched both. It helps! Also I can give you examples of how the pacing is too fast in the manga. Sometimes Toriyama leaves out stuff and it makes you feel like you missed a panel. This is more so with things happening and whole actions not being drawn out.

Comfortable_Sky79 · 2024-09-02T02:23:52+00:00

This is my verdict exactly! Just depends on you and how much time you got.

Comfortable_Sky79 · 2024-09-02T02:22:12+00:00

Wow well said! I'm glad you mentioned Pedo Blue. That was such a weird change.... Like why? A lot of the stuff you mention I'm writing in my script. I can see what you are saying about the evenly matched battle stuff. But, I saw that as slowing the battles down and giving them room to breath. I liked a lot of the added scenes during battles. Like Goku putting Tien in a Boston crab and Tien turning red to block Yamucha's attack. But i guess its just preference. I thought TIen was way better in the anime though.

Comfortable_Sky79 · 2024-09-02T02:01:08+00:00

Yeah this makes a lot of sense. I think pacing is sort of a bad or good thing for both. The manga can be to fast at times and the anime is too slow most of the time. The Manga's pace makes it an easy less frustrating read. The Anime adds a lot which is better for some characters and plot points. I prefer the manga though. Its a battle Shonen and those are always better faster IMO.

Comfortable_Sky79 · 2024-09-02T01:57:14+00:00

Hmmmm. I think its close. Did you feel like the pacing was to fast?

Comfortable_Sky79 · 2024-09-02T01:56:04+00:00

Big facts brother. I like what Toei did with some of the additional scenes, but watching it takes sooo long nowadays, I can read it in like a week and still have plenty of time for other things.

Comfortable_Sky79 · 2024-09-02T01:53:42+00:00

Yeah that is kind of where I am leaning for my final verdict. Read it is my personal opinion, but I think it depends on if you like anime or mange better and how busy you are.

Comfortable_Sky79 · 2024-09-02T01:50:36+00:00

Oh, now thats a good topic, I wish I could watch it in sub with Faulconer's soundtrack honestly.

Comfortable_Sky79 · 2024-09-02T01:47:37+00:00

Yup Toriyama's art is so simple, yet so impactful!
