Such a series would warrant at least a comment, if not an elaborately-staged introduction, from one or more of these entities. Tying in to the idea of "advertising" above, none of the official Japanese sources of Dragon Ball material have come forward with any news on the scale of AF.
Lack of official announcements by Toriyama, Shueisha, or Toei Animation. This material, bereft of its context, has since been cited as "evidence" for the existence of AF.Ģ. Daizenshuu EX took advantage of this fact, however, as part of its 2004 April Fool's joke, creating both a "print ad" and a "TV commercial" from other sources. Since Dragon Ball is well-known throughout Japan, a sequel series would not be released unpromoted, nor would it go unnoticed by the Japanese population.
Within the realm of officially-licensed properties (which are produced by or with the approval of Bird Studio, Shueisha, and Toei Animation), Dragon Ball AF simply does not exist.
In the end, a lot of fans-remarkably Toyotarō (then known as Toyble) and Young Jiji-based their own fan art and fan fiction on this fan-made rumor.
After that, and since was in English, the misinformation virialized all over the World Wide Web. On November of the same year, the website administrators apologized and said they were tricked by a con artist. By October 2000, a specialized website called posted the "Tablos" drawing as a new SSJ5 Goku, claiming that Dragon Ball AF was a real thing. The earliest known record of the image purported to be " Super Saiyan 5 Goku" (drawn by David Montiel Franco) is the May 1999 issue of the Spanish magazine Hobby Consolas.
