I've looked all over about this rumor, and its just that, a rumor, with no basis in fact. Neither Toriyama (who is quite tired of the series, and wanted to move on long before he did) nor Toei (who learned the hard way through DBGT that the Dragonball series needs Toriyama to be successful) are planning another DB series. Everything that is going to be done with DB/DBZ/DBGT in terms of new material has been done (the possible Fox live action movie notwithstanding).The way I heard it, Toriyama drew off a very rough sketch of the storyline and characters for a continued series beyond DBZ right before he left. This doesn't mean he was involved in the series (he wasn't), but still, given that he did turn in those extremely rough sketches of ideas and characters, one wonders if maybe major things like the SSJ4 transformation were his idea or what.Well, when you consider that it was meant to be the climactic battle of the entire series, that makes sense. Toriyama had already been forced to extend the series further than he initially wanted once, so the Freezer arc was meant to be the end. That's why, politically speaking, that was the greatest battle. Freezer is the evil overlord of the entire galaxy, and killing him freed it from his tyranny.SPOILERSPACEThe first 15 episodes (or so) are, as Black Omega said, very much in the vein of the original Dragonball, in that Chibi-Goku, Trunks, and Pan are going around the galaxy looking for the dark-star dragonballs. That's the first arc. After that, the rest are much more like DBZ in terms of long fights with highly escalating powers.After that, the next is the Baby arc, where a villain called Baby takes over Vegeta's body. This is where the SSJ4 transformation is first revealed.The next arc deals with Android Super 17, a powered-up version of the original Android 17.The final arc deals with the fight against the evil Shenron.</blockquote>
