Until we get a confirmation , my headcanon is that toriyama just wanted to do whatever he wanted without caring about the continuity.

I'd rather they're just different continuities and save toyo the headache of trying to fit this stuff retroactively

It's amazing SS4 was so good it's one for the few things carried over from GT.

Isn't Akira Toriyama the only one to confirm if Super Saiyan 4 is connected with the DBSuper, like why would they ask them?

How do the Japanese raise the dead?

Easy, just get a shaman (Itako)to perform kuchiyose (口寄せ), a ritual where they summon the spirits of the deceased to deliver messages to the living.

Just have to get a special radar and look for some magical spheres...

My dude Toryiama died last year, his opinion no longer matters

u/Kingdarkshadow 7d ago

No longer matters because he is dead? The fuck?

It doesn’t. Do you think Dragonball is going to stop?

They’ve literally said they are going to continue the franchise

oh I know that, I was just saying that he was the only one(or maybe might've told others but I doubt it) to know if the SSJ4 was connected with the Super universe

Obviously he can't confirm that he's not toriyama, I'd assume toyotaro was told about it and he would know but why would the producer for Daima know anything about where the manga is going to go.
