If they were going to make a sequel at all, I find it weird that they waited so long. Even star wars only waited 10 years.

I especially direct this at akira Toriyama.

It's funny, when I was younger I always thought it was weird that dbz only got 300 some episodes and ended in 1996, and didn't go on for 1000 episodes like naruto/bleach/one piece.

Now I just don't know.

Because they thought the appeal died out and they couldn't make that much money off it but then shirt/toy merchandising was still selling a ton and the video games were selling a ton still. So they tested the waters by releasing Kai and it did fucking good as fuck so that's why they started a new sequel oh though much like any other businesses they are a bit shady and cheap with their practices even though they're prolly a billion dollar company.

Because now, after years of litigation, Akira Toriyama finally owns his Dragon ball characters, so he wants in on that money he missed during Dragonball Z's height of popularity when he was a slave at Shounen Jump.

Well, the answer to that question is that Toriyama doesn't know how to write a story.

Abridged led to an increase in popularity, which led to an increase of dvd sales, which was enough to try battle of the gods. Akira toriyama liked a song about frieza some Japanese metal band made, so he decided to make return of f as well. They did well enough for a proper revival

The actual answer is the Battle of Gods movie was released to celebrate the anniversary. It was popular enough to warrant a second movie and Toriyama was inspired by the Maximum the Hormone song to write Resurrection F. Those two were so popular, they decided to continue Dragon Ball.
