While Dr. Slump isn’t a worldwide phenomenon to the degree of Dragon Ball, it’s still a massive IP. Especially in Japan. Also, I’d argue Dr. Slump is only lacking worldwide acclaim to the same degree because most of its animated run was never actually given a fair shake in the West.I don't think Toyotarou (and probably no one) will ever really touch Dr. Slump material. It might technically exist in the Dragon World but it has no actual reason to ever show up. Plus I don't believe it's anywhere as profitable as Dragon Ball so there is zero monetary incentive for Bandai, Shueisha, etc to push for Slump material. If something like that were to happen it would be a passion project.
