It\u2019s recently revealed that a particular scene in Dragon Ball Super Chapter 103 was corrected by Akira Toriyama himself before his death. This scene is coincidentally the last panel of the manga\u2019s last chapter before it went on an indefinite hiatus. The emotional implication of this has fans remembering the legendary author fondly and hailing him for his contribution. In the rough draft of DBS Chapter 103 by Toyotaro, the author and illustrator of DBS, the final scene of the chapter featured Goku, Gohan, Pan, and Piccolo flying away, leaving Janet behind. But Akira Toriyama corrected the scene with Piccolo turning back once to wave at Janet. His correction note was for \u201cPiccolo to wave farewell to the kindergarten teacher\u201d. The panel of Piccolo waving is the last panel of the chapter and it looks as if Piccolo is waving goodbye to the readers instead. This notion is all the more painful given Toriyama\u2019s death following this chapter, making it his last work and his last gift to his fans. Another heartbreaking detail that Dragon Ball readers remember is that Piccolo was Akira Toriyama\u2019s favorite character. By making his favorite waving goodbye, it\u2019s as if the author himself is bidding farewell to his fans. The revelation of this has the Dragon Ball fandom in a roar. Fans are touched by Akira Toriyama\u2019s final contribution to the manga and are expressing their gratitude for the author on various social media platforms. \u201cSad because Piccolo was his favorite character too. A final wave goodbye,\u201d writes a user on the Dragon Ball subreddit. \u201cAnd it becomes even sadder when you consider the fact that Piccolo was Toriyama\u2019s favorite character,\u201d another user writes. \u201cHere I am crying again, thank you again, Toryiama sensei,\u201d says another fan. The response to this news makes it clear how impactful Akira Toriyama\u2019s final contribution to the manga is and how fondly he\u2019s remembered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragon Ball fans hail Akira Toriyama\u2019s final contribution to the manga CrunchyrollDragon Ball fans have praised Akira Toriyama\u2019s final contribution to Dragon Ball Super manga after the author\u2019s recent death.
