Just wanted to apologize as the camera went out of focus during the video, it is a new camera and we are still getting used to it.
It would have been impossible to redo the video with the same passion as the first time I shot it.
Johnny
We're here for you. not for the tech :)
Didn’t even really notice! Thanks for giving your thoughts on his passing and celebrating his work across all media!
Don't worry about it u said it all bro
Incredible tribute Johnny, Akira Toriyamas work is truly one of a kind.
I was so focused on your speech that I didn't notice anything, I think it was a video a 10 out of 10.
I'm french, and Toriyama's influence (Dr Slump, Dragon ball and Dragon ball z) in my country was massive. He changed the way people saw manga in the world. I grew up in early 80's with Arale, little Goku, Krilin etc... We'll never forget him. Sorry for my english. Thank you for your tribute. Merci.
The Dragon Ball Z french opening with the lady singing is legendary and warms my heart.
Here in Spain it was the same, i also loved Dr Slump!! it was one of my favorite cartoons!! I have so fond memories, one of the earliest would be when the NES Dragon Ball came out here, thanks in part because in France it was released first, as the Secret du Dragon. It was my first DB game and i LOVED IT so much, i still have it on my shelf.
Indeed, same in Spain... 😢
I'm Dutch and we barely had any anime or manga back in the 90s (let alone 80s). What was there was either very dark and edgy or very expensive. Or both. When we went to France on vacation however, I discovered shelves of manga in the bookstores, which felt like finding a goldmine to me. My French was (and is) pretty poor but I took as many manga home with me as I could afford and had already read most it before the drive home was over. Most of it was Dragon Ball.
@@tasseiviews2947 I'm Spanish but live half of my life in NL. I confirm almost nobody I know has ever heard of DB. I found it so weird! 😅
For all of us there in the late 80s and early 90s , he was a gateway into a weird and wonderful world. His impact cannot be overestimated. RIP legend.
Even late 90s early 2000s toonami kids he changed so it didnt end there
My life would have been so different if I never discovered DBZ.
beautifully said!
DB Z (and GitS) introduced me into Anime genre. I was so close to visiting Japan one point myself. I had experience with modeling and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity to visit the place that inspired artists like Toriyama San.
RIP.. What a creator. What a life. He gave so many people joy and left so much to celebrate.
RIP Legend , you brought joy into my life for 30 years
I teared up at, "He's given us enough". It's so profoundly true.
Me 2
Best manga artist of all time. RIP to the legend.
Rest in Peace Toriyama-San!
That Chrono Trigger soundtrack hits so hard. I remember staying in the same place playing the game just to keep listening to a theme
Mitsuda put his blood, sweat and tears to make that soundtrack, to prove himself to Square as a new composer, against development deadlines and a total loss of game assets midway requiring a rescore. The reason Uematsu composed some tracks is that he was too ill due to stress towards the end to finish them.
You can feel that in the work, it goes beyond the game content. It felt like this to him:
“But this score refused to be created”.
The intro alone takes me back to my teens(specifically,1995!)
To think that whenever RPG’s were mentioned,Chrono Trigger just bursted into my head….
Blessed to have enjoyed it during that time.
All you have to do is pay like 10 gold or something and they'll adjust the music for your mood too :p
(I love when games have musicians that take requests. I wonder who did that first)
if it weren't for Akira Toriyama then i would never be a fan of anime. but thanks to him i am and i will miss him a lot.
RIP Akira Toriyama 🧡
Can we wish him back with the dragon balls?
He's the creator of the franchise, so I'm afraid not. The dragon balls turn to stone if the grand elder dies, in this case Toriyama. 😔
When Stan Lee (the creator of Spiderman) passed on, Akira Toriyama wrote a commemorative letter in his memory. i hope another famous comic book artist composes a commemoration for the legendary creator of Dragon Ball Z.
Akira Toriyama was maybe the most influential person in my life.
I never met the guy. I never even heard him speak. I literally don't have a picture of him saying something in my mind.
Yet DragonBall shaped me.
This man deserves his Rest now. He did well. Really well.
He’s left an immeasurable impact on the world. He’s inspired and touched so many people’s lives. We owe so much to Akira Toriyama. R.I.P.
I have never loved any form of media more than the ones that Akira Toriyama created. Dragon Ball, Dr. Slump, Go Go Ackman!, Sand Land, etc. He has given me a lifetime's worth of fun and entertainment. I could read, watch, and/or play anything to do with Dragon Ball on a daily basis and never, ever get sick of it. I've been all-in obsessed with the series since 2001-2002. Toriyama's incredible artwork aside, his fantastic sense of drama and humour driven storytelling will never be matched. An amazing mind. I will forever miss him. The man made my childhood.
I can not think of anyone with a better imagination, maybe the greatest story teller who ever lived.
He’s Forever a Legend . Rest in Peace . Couldn’t even sleep this weekend. 😢 i first discovered Dragon Ball on tv then brought the manga’s. It was a magical time . Dragon ball is my favourite anime of all time and it saddens me that he’s gone .
“He’s given us enough. I’ve been so thrilled to live in this time period while he was alive. I feel blessed.” These words right here…man. This got me close to tears. So so true. I’m so grateful for what he’s done for me and the world. Thank you, Mr. Toriyama. Thank you so much. We love you man.
I played dragon quest but didnt know it was him til i started watching dragon ball z around 1998 or so. He really helped me get super into anime and jrpgs. What a legend that changed lives
His work touched millions. It’s sad he’s gone but it’s heartwarming to even see footballers and football fans celebrating him. Dragon Ball Z had a big impact on my life and I discovered it as a young lad on holiday in Spanish. It inspires me every day. ❤ thanks for sharing your thoughts on this Johnny. We should celebrate him always.
I got a call from my friend in the 90s, and he told me that I should watch Dragon Ball Z on Toonami. I’ve been a fan ever since. Rest in peace, Akira Toriyama. Your work was truly inspirational.
How many artists can you point out and say..yeah this is Akira's work..I discovered him with Chrono Trigger and his drawings were so different and distinct. A great loss but what a legacy he left us.
Around 1989/1990's I seen Dragon Ball for the first time and I was hooked from go then finding out he did the artwork for DQ and CT was amazing. I was 7 years old when he's work first came into my life and I still love it now being in my 40's. RIP Akira Toriyama may you get down snake way and tell dirty jokes with King Kai
The first time I heard Akira Toriyama’s name was in the credits for Dragon Warrior IV, as the credits rolled. It was an emotionally draining experience for a 10 year old, lemme tell you. Made me take note of all people involved, one of which was Toriyama-sensei. Followed up with beating every other Dragon Warrior, and then a few years go by, and here’s Chrono Trigger, around the time Dragon Ball mania was taking hold here in America. The rest is history.
Met him many years ago. I did a portrait shoot of him for a publication at the time. Great wonderful man.
I'm playing Dragonquest 8 for my 3ds for the 1st time. Thank u Akira for being AMAZING in this life!❤
I dont think its possible to appropriately put Akira's impact into words. He is a GOAT when it comes to so so much. His impact will be felt for generations from now and that is one hell of a legacy. My personal favorite of any creation he had a hand in was Chrono Trigger. Unbelievable what a stellar production that is. Dragon Ball has immeasurable reach and will always be looked at as a peak art design and creation. Akira Toriyama will forever be a master of so much media in such an important time and we all serve to learn from his incredible works. Thank you for everything Akira and thank you HCG for taking the time to provide this wonderful look at his creations. RIP Akira Toriyama!
He was my youth. RIP
For the last few months, I kept thanking God every day for dragon quest..... Every day I just thought about Akira toriyama.. saying wow I can't wait for the new dragon quest games.... Then I woke up to the news and I'm..... Broken... I have every dragon quest game and the original dragon warrior 😢
Akira, you made my life and my childhood much happier, I grew up with Dragon Ball, and Chrono Trigger is my favorite game of all time. Rest in peace
Dragon Ball Z blew my mind as a 7 year old back in 1999 and opened up the world of anime to me, of which I am still watching to this day. Thank you Toriyama-san for all your contributions to manga and anime, as well as gaming.
He passed far too early. I only hope that in celebration of his passing that more people are encouraged to experience more of his incredible work. I for one am finally reading Doctor Slump, and am amazed how he was so good so early into his career.
It's absolute insanity how much this man I have never met, has impacted my life.
My first experience with his work. was Dragon Ball. Then I found Dr Slump, and finally Dragon Warrior. When I found out he worked on Chrono Trigger.. I lost my mind.
Same bro, im an artist. Sick detailed trippy colorful stuff, i do alot of custom helmets & motorcycle fairings as im involved in bike racing & riding community, tho i am also a gamer. Ive been doing tribute art as i heard the news during my little sisters funeral friday while sitting in her old car in our childhood church parkin lot, & my sisters nickname for me was Broku. So i have been doing some cool young Goku nimbus art to honor them both. He was a hero to us all.
I literally saw Dragon Warrior 2 for the NES in my local video game store the day I heard the news. I couldn't pass it up.
Grew up watching the original Toonami back in the 90s. Dragon Ball Z was mind blowing for me at the time. I got sucked in. Then when I discovered Crono Trigger I was hooked! Inadvertently got me into Anime and RPGs for life.
it's crazy that he's been working for 44 years straight and not a loss of creativity. O_O?!?!
toonami dbz was on the tube everyday after school.
Akira Toriyama’s art style is so instantly recognizable.
Never was huge into manga or anime but Dragon Quest? For me, the most memorable monsters and characters in a video game. Brilliant designs. Silly and humorous but still majestic and fantastical.
I was introduced to Toriyama's work through my uncle. He had bootleg DBZ VHS from Manhattan and he popped in movie 8 when I came over one time. My life changed at that moment.
It's crazy to think Johnny is only 18 years younger than Akira Toriyama and the confluence of influence he had
My first interaction with Toriyama's work was with DBZ when they were showing an episode (Raditz vs Piccolo and Goku) on a channel called The WB.
Ever since then, I got into Japanese culture and helped a lot of the man I am today.
God I cried so hard waking up and seeing the news on the day. My first exposure to Toriyama was Dragon Ball and that combined with Dragon Quest (V was my first jrpg besides Pokemon and is still probably in my top 10) legitimately made up probably like 50% or more of my free time during my late childhood to early teens, even to this day I often go back to both of those series. Not to downplay stuff like Dr Slump or Chrono Trigger either, those too were a massive part of my childhood just not to the same extent. I just hope he finished most of the final work on his upcoming projects like Dragon Ball Daima and Dragon Quest XII
RIP Akira Toriyama. I regret not getting into his works on dragonball and Dragon quest and Chrono trigger much sooner. I got into DragonBall a few years ago and I've been appreciate all Toriyama has done since then
I grew up watching Dragon Ball when I was in highschool all the way to Dragon Ball Z/GT back in the mid 90's, it was broadcasted here in México and since then its like a religion over here, cheers!
such a great memories what akira did..
dragon ball franchise is a hit.and watch through out the world..he will be missed for sure..thank you akira sensei🙏
When people think of Akira they think of Dragon Ball. They often overlook the impact he had in games as well. He was a pioneer in JRPG art design. I love Dragon Quest and Chrono.
I Lived in ALHAMBRA/MONTEREY PARK California in 1996..My Neighbor's Were Watching The Cell Saga in VHS
I Remember walking by thinking to myself "What show is this it looks So Badass"..They were Japanese they let me Borrow the VHS Casettes...I Fell in Love Since...Rest in Power Akira..
The World Will NEVER FORGET You🕊🕊
The day I found out, I completed Dragon Quest 1. What a weird coincidence. Now, with my 4 boys, we are starting a DBZ marathon.
When I was 10 I read all dragon ball books in a matter of a couple of days. I was completely hooked and bought all dragon ball video games I could get a hold of.
Rest In Peace to this man, a true genius.
For some reason they were airing dragon ball episodes at 5 am in my home country for a certain period and i remember putting an alarm every weekend just to watch it! I started playing dragon quest games quite late but even though I played the first dragon quest 3 years ago i still loved it and I could sense the nostalgia of the old games.
RIP I first saw his work in DQ1 and it helped my love for not only video games but also the RPG genre. Go slime!!
I knew this episode would come one day, never thought it would be this soon though. This man brought generations together that exceeded cultural boundaries. We are all guilty of creating our own worlds within the magical worlds he created. RIP to a true legend.
Dragon ball is so loved here in Mexico and throughout latam, cant believe he's no longer here, im so grateful for everything he gave us as well
Discovered DragonBall Z in 1991. Never looked back. Toriyama was a giant in the same vein as Miyazaki. Masters of their craft. What a sad day for the anime genre.
LMAO I love how you named the dragon ball characters in your comic !!!
As a massive Dragon Quest fan, I think the song "My Road, My Journey" would serve as the perfect tribute to Toriyama. Someone should really do something with it in memory of this amazing legend! I can absolutely relate with your enthusiasm Johnny!
No words can do justice.
Guy was MASSIVE to my childhood since I was 6 years old, discovering anime for the first time randomly watching my grandmother's illegal cable at 5 AM.
The original Dragonball.
My circadian rhythm hasnt been the same since.
DB Z (and GitS) introduced me into Anime genre. I was so close to visiting Japan one point myself. I had experience with modeling and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity to visit the place that inspired artists like Toriyama San.
I was introduced to Toriyama when when I played DQ 4 and then started to see more of his work. What a Career. You will be missed :(
Started watching DB and DBZ 1990 in Japan and was blown away. Still to this day. He will be greatly missed. RIP
Happy Sunday 😎
RIP Akira 💙
14:45 "You know what's great? He's not gone, he's not gone, he's with all of us through all of his Works forever & I think that's a wonderful thing..." ❤
Well spoken Johnny! 😊
Oh god dammit... Friggin tears really crept up on me with this one lol.
Been Akira Toroyama-ing since OG dragon ball. Sad times. Worth celebrating forever though, so that's pretty awesome. RIP legend!
Thanks as always for the content. 😊
Wow you can never forget that Chrono Trigger music so enlightening and memorable for me!! R.I.P. I was unaware he passed he gave so much to remember
he was my hero! Dragonball changed my life and ive been following his work since the early 90s. RIP legend 😢
I have to admit this is the first time someone famous in my hobby that dies that affected me like that.
Was not a fan of DB/DBZ growing up but always appreciated his art on a lot of things, my most beloved game series like Dragon Quest were brought to life by him.
RIP Toriyama-San, you will remembered for generations to come.
Truly sad news about his passing but he lived a full life and gave many of his fans much to remember him about for from manga to video games.
I started with dragon warrior on the nes . I really enjoyed it and it was my first rpg. I also liked blue dragon! His creative vision and happiness, his love for life and adventure, akira toriyama will be sorely missed and the world loses greatly.
Let us remember him fondly and tell tales of him to the new generation. I pray that his works live on and continue to inspire the future
He will be missed, he defined a generation, he was an inspiration to so many of us and he will continue to inspire many of us, we won't forget you Toriyama-san, rest in peace old friend
What a great tribute. Thank you for sharing.
Dragon ball is my favorite IP of all time. It changed my life and made me a better person. Heartbroken and thankful.
What a legend.. RIP
Was exposed to DBZ staring with Budokai 2 then saw the anime on Toonami on CN back in 2004. This and anime in general are y I keep going in a world that's unjust.
Thanks for giving your take on his passing. Much needed 🐉 RIP
Thanks Johnny for this memorial, I needed it. Akira Toriyama changed my life also, and so many lives around the world it's stunning. You don't really think about this until a sad moment like now.
RIP Toriyama-sensei.
He mostly changed it for those who lived before dragonball was created and saw the debuts, like me, you, and many other oldies
Another amazing person gone too soon. I'm actually playing Chrono Trigger now for the first time. Thank you Akira for all your amazing contributions! We'll always love you and your incredible art!
Thank you for this John, awesome homage. His work is steeped in nostalgia and our childhoods, which is central to this channel. He will be missed, remembered and celebrated.
Such a great tribute to a legend. RIP
I'm actually gutted by this one.
Thanks for all the memories. R I P
RIP Mr Toriyama. Respect and Love from Albania 🇦🇱
Johnny, I've been a fan of yours and your channel for years and years, and this video is exactly why. Your passion for Toriyama-san and his legacy is palpable. When you said you almost shed a tear at the end looking at the album cover with all the dragonballs...I wanted to shed it with you, friend. If I ever get to Vancouver, I'm buying you a drink. Cheers, mate. R.I.P. A. Toriyama.
i love what you said in the end about him not being gone but with us for ever !!
I was expecting this all week! Love You man!
I've been waiting for your video so bad! RIP to the Legend he will be missed! so much love is incredible..
Your emotions and love really shined though this whole video. Sad to see someone that was so influential in your life but this video tribute is very cool. I hope his family can see this too ❤
Watching you makes me happy and hearing the way u speak of him brings even more joy!
Respect.
Great video Johnny! It’s insane how much he’s given the world and like you he inspired me tons. Even got tattoos of his work
You covered this wide spectrum of gratitude and heartbreak I’ve been feeling.
Thanks Jonny
Until next time!
what a heartwarming beautiful video Johnny! Thank You!
🫶🏻 AKIRA TORIYAMA
Heroes get remembered but legends never die. Toriyama completely changed my youth when I discovered DBZ in 7th grade. I made so many friends and bonds over that series (even to this day), spent hours playing his games and drawing his characters. While I've admittedly not been as invested in recent years, every time I think of memories surrounding his work, it always makes me smile. Thank you for my childhood.
Thank you for summing up his life and how it impacted all of us. Your youth and mine couldn't have been the same without him.
I remember RACING home to watch Dragon Ball Z on YTV after school every day.
Grateful you made this episode.
Very nice episode Johnny!! Beautiful words! We will miss and cherish him!!
I was waiting for this vid to come. Knew you’d make one. He’s such a legend to us all.
Excellent video Johnny. As a huge Toriyama fan I found the news of his passing very upsetting but I think you've made a perfect tribute to him here.
amazing! thank you for sharing
8:45 Exactly I ❤️ Chrono Trigger and I hope we get a remake soon!
Also RIP Akira Toriyama 🙏🏽
This was a beautiful tribute, Johnny, thanks for doing this. You made me a DQ fans years ago so thank you for helping me appreciate Toriyama while we still had him
Great video. Thanks for posting. I've done videos talking about similar things (coming home after school and painting Toriyama's characters), so I feel a very familiar passion when you talk about it.
