that would definitely be part of the idea, in a perfect world. i want to see Shueisha step back for a couple years to finish One Piece and write a treatment for the next Dragon Ball story that incorporates and honors all the best parts of its legacy. and i think Heroes has qualities and story beats to contribute to that. i want them to have a vision and a plan. flying by the seat of our asses was one thing when Toriyama was around to word of God stuff, but i would like to see the series treated with more care and reverence and forethought in his absence.
i hate, hate, hate to draw this comparison – but i would really like it if some sort of Japanese Kevin Feige or James Gunn or Dave Filloni (Clown Wars Dave, not so much Disney+ Dave) could be appointed in the next year or two and begin sheparding the franchise to a more cohesive, synergistic place. just somebody with a vision, ya know? i don't need "Phases," or a big "upcoming projects" timeline. just somebody who really appreciates Dragon Ball. for more than it being a way to "distract yourself from what's going on around you." somebody who doesn't think the series should have ended at Freeza, and that it has nothing else to offer.
