Dragon Ball Super Mangaka Toyotarou Accused of Tracing
By Kasaix • 5 years ago

 

A new impact was made in the Dragon Ball universe, but it wasn't Jiren and Goku fighting it out. Toyotaro, the mangaka behind Super, and Akira Toriyama's chosen successor, has been accused of tracing. We're not artists ourselves here, so we're not certain of the major repercussions if this proves to be true, but people are up in arms over it. So...what happened?

This all started with a cover, seen below. Take note of SSB Goku's pose.

 

A tweet from someone pointed out the similarities between Goku's pose, and a pose from Marvel's Captain America.

 

 

Another tweet showed an overlap of the two and pointed out some similarities.

 

 

 

So, is it coincidence, homage, or tracing? We're not passing any judgement right now. Toyotaro is known for his love of Dragon Ball, drawing the Z Fighters for many years even before he was officially hired by Shueisha to draw various official DB manga, including Resurrection F, and after drawing a couple of pages for Super, Toriyama chose him as his successor. 

 

What do you think? Did Toyotaro trace Cap for a cover, or is this a bunch of nothing? Let us know in the comments below!
