Bandai and Shueisha are currently in a losing legal battle with Toriyama's estate. They are 100% going to lose their Dragon Ball rights because Toriyama's estate hates Bandai and Shueisha.
"The ones most heavily impacted by these events were the people at Bandai Namco, who were making a killing from Dragon Ball video games, such as Dokkan Battle. The same representative from Namco told us that, “Mr. Iyoku was now Toriyama-sensei‘s independent spokesperson, but the manga’s publishing rights rest with Shueisha. Now no one knows who to talk to regarding the property. Every summons to a meeting regarding Dragon Ball is now fuzzily addressed to ‘all relevant parties,’ and both Mr. Iyoku and the representatives from Shueisha just enter the room as though they have every right to be there, and every attempt to make both parties come to an agreement has just left everyone tired and annoyed.”"
