In an interview with Shonen Jump, Toyotaro talked about Dragon Ball SuperA. Particularly Trunks and Goten's arc as superheroes. Here he said that although most of the arc was his idea, Toriyama gave him several notes on the story. He even helped him improve the costume designs for both characters.

According to Toyotaro, Toriyama's greatest contribution was in the story. He assured that as the creator he always had something to say about the direction the overall plot took. So that helped keep this arc connected and aligned with what came before.

Ultimately, Toyotaro said that this helped him a lot in establishing Young Trunks' personality. After all, it is already closer to the version of the future that we saw in Dragon Ball Z and I had no clear way to distinguish the two. Here Toriyama helped him a lot by suggesting that the current Trunks should be more positive and that he was the one who proposed being a hero.

What will happen to the Dragon Ball manga?
