A draft page was uncovered 30 years later

[Beerus]

I am a week late to this but this draft page from the manga during DBZ's run was uncovered. It was never used.

Recently, fans received just such a treasure. The Akira Toriyama Archives, an ongoing project dedicated to preserving the late creator’s work, unveiled an unreleased draft page from the climactic battle between Goku and Kid Buu. This missing piece from Chapter 512 of the manga, famously titled The End of Super Saiyan 3, adds new perspective to one of the series’ most iconic fights.

I believe this is the page where they add a new image every few days:

Am I missing something?

What do you mean?

 

[Dragon Ball Shinen]

What do you mean?

I was referring to this sentence:

"It was never used."

Unless I'm misunderstanding, this page was used. It's the same page from Chapter 512 after the dialogue and final touches were added.

Isn't the interesting part that this is the original draft, not that it's an unused page?

I don't follow the manga, was just putting information from the page. I am assuming part of the reason it isn't there anymore is because it was incorrect lol

Yeah, I clicked the article too, but it had already been removed, so I assumed it was probably a mistake.

I recognized that page immediately because it's definitely in the original manga. That's why I was so confused at first. I thought I was missing something lol
