So evidently AT is still pretty heavily involved in the manga. Toyo made it sound as though he had control over the Moro arc, so what do you think the working relationship is like now? I recall Toyo said that he regularly had meetings with AT to brainstorm ideas and whatnot, but is the manga really 100% Toyotaro at this point like some people think?

I think of Toriyama's involvement similar to how George Lucas was at the end of his career. He comes and go as he pleases. When he has an idea he takes the reigns, and when he's bored he fucks off and does something else. Sort of like Joe Biden, he's just in and out of it.

It seems as though he still has to approve the work that Toyo is putting out though, no? In some chapters there were tidbits were Toyo showed that AT corrected him, so at the very least he is still proofreading everything. I wonder if he ever shoots down Toyo's ideas.

Did he? But that is at least a minor plot point. He didn't shoot down the senzu bean in the Moro arc for example.

Toriyama approved of that one
