Shakhmoot wrote: Surpass Naruto?! Look at Toriyama, how were his latest series in popularity after Dragon Ball? Not big success... No, but Dragon Ball far surpassed his first hit series, Dr. Slump. Toriyama also didn't want to do another long-running series after DB and instead worked mainly as a character designer for video games, occasionally publishing short, single volume series and one-shots.

Lightning rarely strikes twice, of course. We'll have to wait and see if he has another hit or not.
