No more Dragon Ball Z movies? It looks like it as Akira Toriyama confirmed that he lost his motivation in making fighting manga since the "Buu saga"!
Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama admitted at the press conference and photo session for Dragon Ball Z Kai that since he wrote the Majin Buu saga, he has lost his will to draw battle manga.
According to the Anime News Network, Toriyama Admitted:
"The greatest enemy fight in "Kai" is the sublime face-off with Majin Buu, and Majin Buu was also the final enemy in Dragon Ball's weekly manga serialization. The final enemy is round, strong, and very persistent! ...It was such a repetitious and violent fight that even me, the person drawing the manga, came to hate continuing the fight. Now that I've become an old man with high blood pressure and a liking for bland foods, I will not draw this kind of fighting again. Actually, I've lost the want to draw fighting manga ever since [the Majin Buu saga]."
Toriyama added, however, that he will always love the exchanges between less important characters. He also wrote that he especially was excited when he drew scenes when Mr. Satan attempted to grasp victory. At the end of his message, he told fans that he hopes they are touched by the talent of Masako Nozawa, as she can change between the voices of Goku, Gohan, and Goten in the blink of an eye.
So does this mean that the Dragon Ball movie "Battle of Gods" is the last time we are going to see something new from Toriyama? With his lost "mojo" in writing battle manga, it may be the last.
