Kakeru's works are not just superficial imitations, but rather sincere homages to Toriyama's work. Every detail, from expressive faces to dynamic character poses, exudes the spirit of Dragon Ball. Fans are amazed at how well Kakeru has managed to capture the essence of Toriyama's style. Some even go so far as to say that his drawings could pass for original creations by the author of Dragon Ballbut that's not all !
Okay, let's say the terms. I really like Toyotarō sincerely, but if tomorrow we choose Kakeru for the DBS manga, I'll sign. This guy is a genius. – asserted @SabKun2024
Social media has been flooded with glowing comments towards Kakeru, with many fans expressing their burning desire to see him officially work on the Dragon Ball franchise. Not only does it reproduce the pencil strokes of the late Toriyama-sensei, but he is able to create characters from the license in forms that the original author never drew.
A potential successor
However, despite all the buzz surrounding Kakeru, it remains to be seen whether this talented artist will manage to break through enough to gain official recognition from the Dragon Ball rights holders. In the meantime, fans will continue to support this more than talented artist, in the hopes that he can one day help carry on the legacy of Dragon Ball for future generations.
