A new God Tier...Maybe...

[Crabwhale]

Now,from what I understand,Akira Toriyama himself does exist inside of basically everyone of his works.His manifestation in the Dragon Ball world is a small robot named Toribot,also known as the King of the Dragon World.Since Zeno is the current "Supreme Being",I really couldn't find a better place to put this thread.It just seems to me like a drastic overlook to not create a page..

so that would be dragonballs version of the one above all and the presence

I agree, but the mods don't want to make a tori-bot profile for someone reason, even though he has already shown omnipresence numerous times in DB-DBS.

It's an author insert and gag character.

If we won't allow a profile for Grant Morrison's author avatar, we won't allow one for Toribot. Even though we have profiles for Andrew Hussie and the Annoying Dog... Personally, I wouldn't have minded that profile, but I don't make the rules.

The same thing goes for the Annoying Dog and he has a profile.

Not really.Even though he is supreme in power to basically anyone else,he still has weaknesses,like for example,his editors rejecting hs drafts,or his avatar's body being eaten by a Gatchan(although he will eventually draw himself a new one)

We already have a rule about this:

"Preferably avoid creating any supposedly "all-powerful" 4th Wall-breaking real life author avatar characters (for example, Grant Morrison and Akira Toriyama), that blend reality and fiction too closely. It would open bad doors for members to start discussing real life humanity as an "omnipotent" species fighting with drawings and ideas, and essentially renders our entire tiering system meaningless. See here for further information. Exceptions have been made for Andrew Hussie, and the Annoying Dog. The former was not played as an invincible character within Homestuck, whereas the latter was not a true author avatar, just a joke character. They do not seem to break the system to nearly the same extent."

As such, this topic is not up for discussion, and I would appreciate if you immediately and permanently drop it. Thank you.

Author Avatars should be looked in a case-by-base analysis. Depending on the Cosmology of a Verse and how the Author Avatar is depicted, exceptions can be made. There are numerous series that depict God as the series' writer, either explicitly or ambiguously,

Toriyama's Tori-Bot, however, is:

A) Not a serious, legitimate Supreme Being.

B) Not a character with his own role and nature inside the Verse's fictional reality.

C) Not a harmless side-joke that can be included.

So, should we close this thread?

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

Sure.
