Hello, and welcome to "And What Would She Be like". Basically, we'll be taking a look at Yolei's role in the anime universe as a whole.
For example, does anybody remember how Akira Toriyama changed the format of his slumping Dragonball into the ultra-violent, plotless Dragonball Z(DBZ, by it's maliciously diabolical fan-base) ? Well, he just didn't wake up one day and decide that ! Oh, no, that was Yolei. A matter of fact, here's a taped conversation between her and Toriyama.
Toriyama: My Dragonball series is not doing as well as expected. I may be forced to move to capatalist America and live a luxurious false life style surrounded by anime fans that have no lives.Yolei: That's all anime fans, Tori-chan. Now, listen, there's only one way to deal with a show that has a plot, but isn't going anywhere, and that is to fill it with mindless violence and mass destruction. Everybody loves death !Toriyama: But, what about plot ?Yolei: Who cares about plot ? Besides, it'll have mindless violence, and what's really great is that you can spend fifteen episodes having one character power up. I mean, who really cares that the dragon balls were actually meant to have a purpose besides ressurecting the dead ?Toriyama: Will they get suspicious ?Yolei: They'll be too engrossed by the mindless violence to actually use think. Then, we can force them to buy loads of cheap inferior products that a crack-head wouldn't touch.
