Welcome back to Dragon Ball-ism: Toriyama Showcase—the series where we discuss Akira Toriyama's various short stories and one-shot works. For the 11th installment of this series, we've got an exciting, blood-pumping action-adventure manga called "KINTOKI: Toki of the Kinme Clan".

KINTOKI: Toki of the Kinme Clan
Published in Weekly Shonen Jump 2010, No. 50.

This story was drawn specially for Weekly Shonen Jump's "Top of the Super Legend", an elaborate project where one-shot manga from some of the biggest names in the industry would be printed in the magazine over the course of six consecutive issues.
The 31-page story follows the action-packed adventures of the protagonist, Toki, who is a member of the golden-eyed Kinme Clan.
Being that KINTOKI was Toriyama's first one-shot work published in Weekly Shonen Jump since 2003's "Neko Majin Mike", it drew the attention of many readers, both in and out of the Dragon Ball fandom.

The manga opens with Toki shooting down a dinosaur-like creature known as a Thundra as it races through the air.
He's a descendent of the rarely seen Kinme Clan, a race that possesses golden eyes and extraordinary physical abilities.
However, due to their short lifespan, the Kinme Clan's numbers have rapidly decreased to the point that their existence is now considered to be nothing more than a legend.

("Dragon Ball Super" Tale 67)

As you can see, KINTOKI: Toki of the Kinme Clan is chock-full of Dragon Ball-isms.
Since this story has never been released in a trade paperback, it's also a rarely seen work that's now considered a legend in its own right, just like Toki and his clan!
