I wouldn't use Toriyama as a guideline for writing...if you read his Databook interviews, he admits that he intentionally wrote crap on the spot and didn't plan ahead...Goku wasn't even a Saiyan in the first part of dragon ball, just a random monkey boy.
The thing is, Im not talking about planning ahead or vice versa. Im talking if author want his new character to appear in his manga. No one can stop that.
Not all thing(characters or events) need a foreshadow or long history in manga before they appeared in manga. Because their history can be tell later on after they has appeared in manga and readers should accept that. Not all OP villains or their geng as example is foreshadowed before they appeared in manga. Its something normal in Shonen manga.
Asspull is not a right word here. And people need to understand the meaning of Asspull or the situation that Asspull is needed. Kakashi's Susanoo as example. Its because, he defied Manga logic and what make matters worse, no explanation from Kishi.
Something that not come with solid explanation or no explanation at all can be called as asspull.
