This is a special monthly series where we feature sketches drawn by Toyotarou, the creator of V Jump's ongoing series Dragon Ball Super! This time as a special treat, we're featuring three different characters from three different Akira Toriyama works!

Savings Soldier Cashman

Savings Soldier Cashman
Of course I love Akira Toriyama's manga
from the first few issues of V Jump,
but I'm also a big fan of the later version
drawn by Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru!
—Toyotarou

The Dragon Ball Super manga is currently ongoing in the comics magazine V Jump, but way back when the magazine was just getting started, Savings Soldier Cashman was featured in 3 back-to-back issues in the manga of the same name!
This joke filled action-comedy manga focused on our hero, who fights for justice while also collecting money to get back to his home planet!

Dub from "Dub & Peter 1"

Dub & Peter 1
Dub
This is another Akira Toriyama manga
from the early days of V Jump.
It's got delinquents, mecha, and American vibes!
I love how it incorporates everything from the Toriyama world!
—Toyotarou

Dub is the main character of "Dub & Peter 1", a four-chapter long manga which also ran in V Jump!
This manga tells the story of Dub, a simple guy who just wants to be popular with the ladies. He has his tech-savvy buddy Peter build him a high-tech car, named "Peter 1", and then sets off into town in search of adventure.

Arale Norimaki from "Dr. Slump"

This is the Toriyama-original look that Arale sported in the anime reboot back in the 90s!
Versions of Arale drawn by Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru
and Tadayoshi Yamamuro
have even appeared in V Jump twice☆
—Toyotarou

This little girl robot appeared in the super popular "Dr. Slump", a hit series that also got several anime adaptations!
Arale meets Goku in Dragon Ball, and the two super powered kids even take a ride on Kinto'un together!


In addition, Dragon Ball Super Volume 23 went on sale on April 4th!
Drawn by Toyotarou, this exciting volume depicts Gohan's epic awakening during the fierce fight against Cell Max! Don't miss it!
