Otomo hints at a comeback while Naoki Urasawa throws in his support, fueling speculation of a historic creative partnership.

Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo was remade just three years later, but it wasn't the first time his work had been reimagined in another genre.

According to Yoshitaka Yashima, the anime’s director, Toriyama completed the script before production began. The anime, which premiered late last year, concluded its 20-episode run earlier in 2025.
