From the article:

Akira Toriyama originally intended to conclude Dragon Ball with the Cell saga, but strong editorial pressure forced him to extend the series, according to a recent interview with three former Dragon Ball editors: Kazuhiko Torishima, Yu Kondo, and Fuyuto Takeda.

This was revealed during a recent episode of KosoKoso podcast on Feb 22, 2025.

My favourite ending is when Goku originally "dies" on Namek. It felt like he was meant to die there, and it was a bitter-sweet ending to the series.

Still, I'm glad the franchise kept going.
