As his successor it's probably time for him to fully take the mantle once he's mentally well enough. Hope if there is a chapter in the upcoming months it's out of his volition and or that he takes a break if needed.

i just realised, since Super Hero takes place 1 year before the final chapter of Z............then, this means that we are currently approaching in canon the canonical ending of the series.........how can we continue from there? do a GT 2.0?

Something interesting I found. The effective creator/godfather of the animanga medium called Toriyama his successor.

Apparently, Toriyama was sick since Last Year.
This explains a LOT. Why he collaborated with Iyoku for CC, why he personally involved himself with Daima (he’s never gotten involved with Anime projects before), the 3 month Hiatus Toyo went on, etc. etc. A lot of the drama can be explained by Toriyama literally doing his best to pass on his Legacy.
Now, none of this is confirmed—For all we know, it’s total coincidence that those events happened alongside his decling health. But I’d like to think that the man infamous for not having a plan realized, before he passed, he’d need to invest one. Just this once.

Dude was so tuff it took a year for that to take him down.
Should've known he was built different. He created sagas, not arc.

You know I just remembered this one scene from DBZ Abridged, specifically the Cooler movie and the scene with Goku and the bird called Toriyama.
And now that Toriyama has passed away, it makes this moment in particular all the more sad to me.

Toriyama made the most popular transformation in fiction because he wanted to save ink by not coloring in Goku's hair.
And it was the hardest shit you've ever seen

While one might consider this to be a bold claim, I believe whole heartedly that there is not a single moment in anime history, both old and new, that will EVER match Goku's first transformation as a Super Saiyan. Like no cap, this is hands down one of the most iconic moments in Eastern media as a whole

Seeing Goku's Kaioken x4 give his Kamehameha recoil to the point he goes back onto one leg permanently rewired my brain chemistry

This video definitely sums up what made Dragon Ball so special for me in a short amount of time. Thank you for everything Mr. Toriyama

This type of scum deliberately arouses controversy and feeds off of it. Not worth giving them what they want. Though I did report. Doubt YT will do anything sadly.

Man. There are news stations reporting it, politicians making announcements, even the Chinese government mourned his passing. Beautiful tributes everywhere. This man's work quite literally transcended race, ideologies, culture, any and all boundaries to inspire the hearts of everyone across the globe. Sincerely, the magnitude and impact of his legacy is so vast and deep that it eludes description.

Honestly I still struggle to come to terms with it. Even while reading a post or video title about it, it's so surreal that my mind tricks me into thinking it was just me having a dream or something. Like I can't fathom it. Obviously I knew he would've died eventually, but it was just so sudden. The reaper doesn't care much for that though.

Wondering what about the canon now. Is toyotaro the primary informant now?

Now it's up to Akira's son, any name that has Sasuke is canon.

He’d have to be, yeah. Alongside any information we get from other individuals who work on their specific stories (Like Koyama with the DB Films or Maekawa with GT.)

I don't know why, but this part of your comment reminded me of a quote that Terry Pratchett said in regards to the character of Death:
"Despite rumor, Death isn't cruel - merely terribly, terribly good at his job."
The way I rationalize it, the reaper relieved Toriyama of the pain he was experiencing from his Subdural Hematoma and guided him to the next step of his journey. It's a tragedy that he passed away sooner then many of us would've wanted it to happen, but I at least hope Akira was met with a friendly and kind face to see him off.

So this is what I believe is going to happen in regards to canon now that Toriyama has passed away: So obviously we know Shueisha and Toyotaro are going to be the ones handling the manga side of DB, as Shueisha are the ones who own the rights to Dragon Ball's manga licensing while Toyotaro will continue the helm as author of the manga.
Dragon Ball Will Continue Pumping Out Anime Series, Movies And Games Over The Next 10 Years, Says Executive Producer - Anime Explained
Iyoku's main mission is to release popular works simultaneously around the world to reach the next stage of popularity.
www.animeexplained.com
Meanwhile Capsule Corporation Tokyo, run by executive producer and former editor of the Dragon Room, Akio Iyoku, will be the ones who handle the anime and video game side of things (likely in collaboration with Toei since they're still the ones who own the license to the anime license and distribution of it) when it comes to Dragon Ball. Now we don't know for certain if Toriyama's son will be involved in the making of the stories of said DB media, but I imagine that he will be in charge of the estate his father left behind unless someone else has been chosen.
