Toriyama is credited as being the sole writer for Dragon Ball Super Broly’s Story and Screenplay(which most ppl agree is the best DB thing since the end of the original series), so it seems that was genuinely created by him.
But why, Toriyama still writes?

And GT was considered canon for years before SUper.
Going into extreme depth would be getting off topic.

I wonder what they plan to do with Yozakura. AB will get axed soon (though it might avoid cancellation again if the newbies' sales are way worse). The sales have improved but not enough to be in GIGA I guess
Volume 5 of Yozakura will come out in November, which in theory will be a weak month.

Toriyama make all the big point of the story, from Battle of the God till now, then the anime or manga fill the gaps like you say. That is way some things change but then beginning and ending and big part is the same. Toriyama had way bigger influence in the manga, every page is supervised and corrected by him, there is a bunch of example in the vols where they show the corrections.
Its shit. The end.
You mean the same youtuber who was 100% convinced the DBS anime would be returning in July/August 2019 because several inside sources had told him so?
That's how it always worked. Toriyama provides bullet points covering the big plot lines of the story, Toyotaro/TOEI fill in the details, then Toriyama checks what they did and makes some changes if needed.
???
I understand he was wrong about that. But that’s pretty much the only notable instance.You mean the same youtuber who was 100% convinced the DBS anime would be returning in July/August 2019 because several inside sources had told him so?
Yeah...
(Don't get me wrong, I like his channel. He's very knowledgable about the series. But I'm not just gonna take his word for what's happening inside Toriyama's private writing room.)

Toriyama is also credited as being the sole writer for the current Dragon Ball Super arc.
How did you come to the conclusion that this is the first thing he isn't involved in?
Not really, in the Freezer animebook there is message of Toriyama where he say that he made the script for the freezer one and The Balttle of the Gods. And in the Brolly one he is credited as "original idea - story - character desing" and in the interview Toriyama is asked about what he say about the characters and what they say and do to the anime team and he anwser that pretty much everything they do is write in the script he give them (the same that manga).
This is conflicting with some of the public information about these films though.
"Public information" based on what?? Last time I check what the creator say is how things go. There is no credit in the Freezer but in Broly the storyboard is made by Tatsuya Nagamine (Director), Kazuya Karasawa and Masato Mitsuka.
Public info as in the credits of the film, and movie credits that you can look up.
The script was made by Toriyama and them those 3 made the storyboard and fill every details that lack in the script, them Toriyama supervise that and tell them if it ok or they need to make some change. The manga is the same just that is Toyotaro alone making the draft, pased to the editorial where Toriyama supervise it and tell if it ok or not.

But a Storyboard is completely different than what you’re describing. The Storyboarding process is drawing out the scenes, framing compositions, etc. for animation.
He can fit in the "Screenplay writer" of everything but we can't say how much of he does because we never see one of the script he make. The only thing for sure is that he doesn't make the 100%, he make some and the other part is filled with Toyotaro in the manga, with those 3 that I mentioned in the movie, with some other in the series. We will never be sure how much he does till they release the script, if they do.But a Storyboard is completely different than what you’re describing.

Toriyama, Oda, Horikoshi, aren’t animators. So obviously when they’re writing original stories for the films they’re not going to be the ones creating the storyboards that translates and flesh things out for animation.
I understand that Toriyama didn’t handcraft these films on his own. I’m simply just stating that, companies are pretty transparent on what he does do on a surface level.
For Exp. Dragon Ball Kakarot heavily promoted Toriyama as being part of the team, when in actuality he didn’t do much. And credits in the game show that.
For Battle Of Gods, he wrote the Story, but not the Screenplay. Broly and Ressurection F, he’s listed as a the story writer, and Screenplay writer, which would suggest that he was more hands on with the creation than Battle Of Gods
The only exception is the Super manga, simply because what him and Toyotaro do revolving the story seems to fluctuate off and on throughout the manga. With Toyotaro sometime providing story detail and original designs and characters, and sometimes it being based purely on Toriyama’s outlines
