>Question 12: The Dragon Ball license has evolved enormously. Some even compare it to franchises like Star Wars, with all their pros and cons. How do you see the future of Dragon Ball as a license?

>Torishima: You're asking us? Unfortunately, that's a question better directed at Shueisha, Toei Animation, or the company that manages Mr. Toriyama’s rights.
>From the start, Dragon Ball was a story that Toriyama and I created together, but that’s only one side of the coin. The other side is the fans. We built and expanded the Dragon Ball world thanks to the support of fans.
>If the license is going to grow by listening to the fans’ voices, then everything should be fine. But if the idea is to expand the license purely for profit, then everything is going to collapse and I hope it doesn’t head in that direction.
