Toriyama's image board interpretation of the decisive battle against the Demon King in Chrono Trigger (1995/03/11)
Once more demonstrating adept application of perspective to depict realistic-in-fantasy imagery, one cant help feel excitement f/ even glimpses of dramatic moments.
Toriyama's cover for WSJ, No. 36-37 (1991/08/13)
Son Goku is depicted dreadfully dashing towards a confrontation with No. 19 & 20. The issue contains DB's 337th chapter, ft. both full & limited color pages. It seems he intended to imprint a grand impression for the merger issue.
CI of DB's 4th volume (1986/10/09)
W/ goggles attached to pilot hat, Goku rides a weaponized "jet buggy" mecha. Toriyama placed considerable thought into structural design via storage for spare MG cartridges, military paint camouflage, & the mold of the engine's exhaust ducts.
Dragon Ball (318) vs Dragon Ball Z (096)
Does the adaption provide it justice? Or do you prefer the original manga?

「ビルスとの大きさの対比」/ [Qui's] size compared to Beerus (SN: They get along like cats and dogs)

Toriyama CDs of the "Asobinin"/Reprobate class in Dragon Quest 3 (1988/02/10)
Today is the game's 32nd birthday! Of the vocations featured, the idea of basing an entire archetype around luck-based, foolishly playful rascals would only come from Toriyama's sensibilities~
Toriyama's updated CD of Hero for Dragon Quest 7's 3DS remake (2013/02/07)
His notable, invigorating smile just amps the player towards a dungeon crawling mood, doesn't it? It's a defining characteristic carried throughout both interpretations, indeed.
Cover illustration of Dr. Slump's 12th "Kanzenban" release (2007/08/03)
Turbo uses his power to systematically repair Senbei's car. It seems to be a reinterpretation of a scene in chapter 182. The vehicle seems similar to Mitsubishi "E-H31A" models but I'm no expert with that.
Toriyama's monster design of Scorpion for "Dragon Quest" (1986/05/27)
Now while it may -seem- like some plain design that's no different from an actual scorpion, the secret behind its appeal lies within its charming eyes~
