"I'm always in suspense" Akira Toriyama Had One Method For Keeping Dragon Ball Exciting, and it's Perfect

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Dragon Ball is well known for its cliffhangers and dramatic reveals, but few fans would expect that the outcome of a cliffhanger would be a surprise even to the writer. Apparently, however, that was often the case for Akira Toriyama, whose style of writing left even him "in suspense," according to an interview.

For Toriyama, it was all about getting this week's chapter in before the deadline, with next week's chapter being a problem for tomorrow. The Potara earrings are far from the only example of this in Dragon Ball. As noted above, the Android Saga became as complex as it is thanks to notes from Toriyama's editor, who at first disapproved of the designs for Androids 19 and 20, and then again with 17 and 18, leading Toriyama to shift gears and change the villain of the arc to Cell.

Toriyama's flexibility and loose style enabled some of the series' finest moments, and made him extremely responsive to both the audience and his editors. It's fair to say that Dragon Ball wouldn't be what it is today if Toriyama had taken a more conventional writing style to his work.
