Toriyama released Sand Land back in 2000, and it tells the story of the demon prince Beelzebub, who embarks on a quest with his friend Thief to help Sherriff Rao find a new water supply for Rao’s people. The manga was very short-lived, and only ran across 14 chapters from May 2000 to August that same year. It’s anyone’s guess as to why Toriyama and Bandai have chosen now to adapt it, but maybe it’s just being used as a way to introduce audiences to some of his lesser known works.
