The godfather of shonen. Without him, no One Piece and Naruto, and without THEM, no My Hero, Demon Slayer, Chainsaw Man, and more. A true Icon
Akira is great but not the Godfather. You have guys like Tetsuo Hara and the creators of Ultimate Muscle that came before Akira.
@@realamericannegro977 that's fair, I'd say he definitely is the reason anime got popular in the west though
@@ModernVagabondIsHere Most definitely. Him and the lady that made Sailor Moon.
Um bleach
No akira toriyama set the standards of what shounen is yes he is the god father every shounen after dragonball follows his formula fist of the north start not even the same
Toriyama is definitely a legend on par with Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and George Lucas. He’s the whole reason the anime and manga industry was introduced and popped off in the west. RIP to the goat 🙏
Indeed😊
In America*
Anime was already a big thing in Western Europe since the '70s, first with co-productions like Heidi, then with UFO Robot and Saint Seiya
Everyone in the gym is Goku or Vegeta in their head man. I'm in my late 30's and I know there are Dragon Ball fans older than me and as young as in elementary school. He inspired all of us to train, to fight for what we love and to always help our friends. He taught us many things. He also brought to life some of the most beloved characters in RPG history, like Chrono, Lucca, Frog and party.Thank you, Toriyama sensei.
First Miura, then, Takahashi, and now Toriyama. As a millennial, I’ve felt my childhood pass away. Now I’m seeing it.😢
I thought of these exact three too
What the hell is happening in Japan?
@@tarikkash4282 Wtf are you on about. People die. It has nothing to do with Japan.
@@HakuYuki001You know what I mean!
@@tarikkash4282legends are passing away and we get to experience and mourn these legend. We will remember the shock and heartache. Others might not feel the same thing when they look up these legend and see when they died. They were alive then gone, it’s hard to believe
This is the one death that legitimatly broke me and had me crying, Dragon Ball means the world to me and I'm so gratefull to Toriyama for creating it. If it wasn't for him I would not be the person I am today and I mean that.
R.I.P. Akira Toriyama.
Thank You For Everything ❤❤❤❤❤❤
@I_Post_Roblox_Heat Bro please stop, please delete your comment.
@@VampireA1056don't let that low life troll get to you, stay strong. ❤ His death broke me too.
It's not that serious. People die every day. It was bound to happen.
@@greatestnitemare6626 Wdym not that serious?? Sure people die but it's still devistating when they do, Don't treat it like it's no big deal.
@@VampireA1056 It's death. It is what it is. No one gives a f Joe Schmo like you or me die, so it isn't that serious to break down crying over someone you didn't know.
I was exposed to Dragon Ball Z via Toonami and early RUclips. Being a small child I was amazed and filled with life seeing these epic fight scenes, inspirational quotes, and the values of never giving up. I also fondly played the video games on my PS2 and GameCube. Thank you Toriyama for creating DB and defining my generation.❤
SAME! May he rest in peace 🕊️🙏🏼 he’s up there with king Kai now
Im a 40 year old man from Argentina, discovered Dragon Ball back in 1993-94 and it was love at first sight, I was a shy introvert with no friends who also suffered bullying growing up but automatically felt understood and motivated the moment I laid eyes on Dragon Ball, talk about powerful. And now here I am a 6,4 40 year old grown ass man crying for someone I never knew in person. Rest in peace Akira sensei, can never thank you enough, life felt less lonley thanks to dragonball.
Akira Toriyama was one of the godfathers of manga. If there was a Mt. Rushmore for manga creators Akira Toriyama, Osamu Tezuka, Go Nagai, & Kentaro Miura would be the top 4 faces of it.
I'd switch Kentaro Miura for Rumiko Takahashi. Not because I like her more (Miura is my fave), but because her impact was absolutely massive
@@Ash_Wen-li i don't know about that, Miura was the GOAT.
@@ColonelSanders17 he definitely was but I don’t think his work was nearly as impactful culturally as Rumiko Takahashi’s work, similarly to Toriyama she defined an entire genre of manga and anime for generations
@@ColonelSanders17Miura is indeed the GOAT but Takahashi ruled 80's popular culture in Japan with back to back works. In the same way as Toriyama, manga was never the same after she entered the scene.
Edit: I just took in, I pretty much said the same thing as the person above me 😅
@@ColonelSanders17his work hasnt got the same level of impact
Seriously, he's super important figure. Sure he did not have the influence on the medium like Tezuka, but the fact that he changed the anime industry from only a few shows being released internationally to a plethora is frankly insane. Not to mention the fact that his art brought RPGs into the mainstream with his artwork. For me personally his Dragon Ball manga made me realize that comics was a unique medium that can do so much as an adult.
Who?
@@ElPsyKongroo Tezuka is the person who is the main figure in establishing the anime and manga medium
Akira is awesome but Final Fantasy brought rpgs into the mainstream. Final Fantasy 7 with the spikey hair in particular took it further. Akira's art does help sell some games he worked on.
@@realamericannegro977 no, Dragon Quest did. Highest selling non-Mario Famicom (Japanese NES) game
This is an immense loss. While I've grown to love many anime and manga series more than Dragonball, I owe my entire fandom to Akira Toriyama. The first time I heard the word anime was watching DBZ on Toonami. My first anime figure is Goku. In terms of the medium of manga, Akira Toriyama is on the Mount Rushmore with Osamu Tezuka. He leaves behind a legacy without question imprinted into the dna of the mediums of anime and manga, and even beyond that to pop culture around the world.
Thank you for everything and may you rest in peace, Akira Toriyama.
I didn’t get much sleep after hearing this news. One of the first anime I’ve watched as pup so long ago.
That man’s works have changed the world and impacted the lives of so many people, and so many of our favorite series have spawned from this man’s influenced.
Teared up in the first damn minute lol. The scope that his works reached is damn neat unrivaled. Miura, Lee, Romita, and now Toriyama. So many losses in the last few years. They've definitely carved their names in history.
The global impact Toriyama had will go down in world history. RIP
R.I.P. to Akira. His death truly hit me because how much I love Dragonball and how that anime touched me. I hope his legacy continues through us the fans. Dragonball inspired anime to crossover to the western world and even inspired other mangakas and other creative writer 's works. Condolences to his family and friends that are affected by his death and rest by his family's presence.
My first exposure to Dragonball Z was through Toonami in the early 2000’s…and watching the AMV’s with Linkin Park music and Korn, and not knowing that he designed characters for games like Chrono Trigger and Dragon Quest. He will definitely be missed. RIP
mine was in the 2000s as well but on Cartoon Network at 9pm but yes I missed the nu metal era & 90s in general even early 2000s didn't suck that much things were still relatable & life wasn't glorified
Oh yeah the Amvs were a crazy amazing thing back then.
"It's a famous person that I never met, & you never met". We get to meet & know the artist through their work.
Absolutely heartbreaking... I fell in love with DBZ slowly over the years (I saw bits and pieces at my friend's house and only got to watch it consistently around the Buu saga), but Chrono Trigger was where I first fell in love with Toriyama's art. I still have my original SNES copy and it's my favorite JRPG ever and one of my favorite games period. When I saw Super Sayin God for the first time I immediately thought "lol, Goku just powered up to Crono's level."
I have no words to express how much Chrono Trigger means to me and how deep the loss of Toriyama wounds me. I know more people are going to be upset about Dragon Ball than Chrono Trigger (not that it matters or is a contest) so I just want to remind people how great that game is. Yes, the music, the combat system, and story are amazing, but Toriyama's designs were a huge part of its charm and one of the reasons it holds up so well. And then getting the anime cutscenes in the Playstation version was just... Fuck man. They were so fucking beautiful. I'm so glad they exist. They made me love Dragon Ball more.
I was really, really excited about Daima and Toriyama's more direct involvement with it. I mean, I still am, but it's really bittersweet now. This still doesn't feel real and I'm still not over Kentaro Miura either... Rest easy, Toriyama-san, we're going to miss you.
The man created a story that touched the hearts of millions, i cant believe we lost another great mangaka but im glad to have been able to experience their amazing stories, RIP Toriyama and thank you for giving us Dragonball.
Rest in peace, Toriyama
RIP Toriyama
RIP Toriyama
Some of my happiest childhood memories were coming g home from school and turning on the tv to watch Dragon Ball Z. Those were the best days, I also collected action figures and episodes on VHS (before my mom took them away) and even reenacted scenes from the show during recess with friends. Man those were the days. I still need to play CHRONO trigger.
rip Akira :(
Thank you for being so real with us. You weren’t afraid to show vulnerability and that’s straight up badass. What a powerful genuine message you just put out there man…
That’s what makes this channel feel so special in a sea of sanitized, standardized, impersonal money driven creators/content on the internet.
Struggle always, endure if you must but contend with life no matter what 👊🏻
Keep up the amazing work Ryan your fanbase appreciates you ❤
Rip 😞 time to start another rewatch
It's ok to cry my friend. We all have lost a piece of our identities, and memories.
Thanks for your video. I can feel how hard for you it was.
And, yeah. Reps for Toriyama must become a thing.
“When do you think people die? When they are shot through the heart by the bullet of a pistol? - No... It's when… they are forgotten!”
Toriyama will never be forgotten. Dragon ball is one of my all time favorite series and dragon quest is one of my all time favorite game franchises.
W quote from Dr Hiriluk
And just like that, it's over. Blood clot in the brain. 68 is not that old.
Rest in peace, legend.
dragon ball is childhood, across the world, across generations.
Toyotaro better be ready to work hard seeing what he could do with AF in the 90s i hope he has learned a lot and can pull off dragon ball alone
rip to toriyama we will miss him
this show took fights to a different level. to say it was revolutinary in its time is understatemnt . now copies of dbz fights are everywhere but watching it as a kid in 2005 my mind was blown you just had to be there .. toriyama wasnt the best writer but the raw testesterone and will power and determination and pride in the early fights coupled with the original japanese music tapped into something primal all young boys have espicially boys from that era . thats the reason why the show is so iconic and influencial everywhere in the world . first miura now toriyama. this is the end of a great generation
The love felt all over the World for Toriyama speaks mountains.
Thank you for everything Toriyama-sensei. May you be running along the Snake Way towards Kaio's little planet. \(^o^)/
RIP the god of manga kentaro miura. Gone but not forgotten.
Osamu Tezuka officially has the title of God of Manga.
All the OGs are going man, it saddens me to see the author of my favorite anime ever go like that 💔
The first time l saw dbz my life took a turn and it never left that road l refused at that moment to be just another person l would make something of myself l would train to be strong, l would be kind and l would never give up.
Toriyama has shaped my life even tho he never knew me and l am eternally grateful for that and as an aspiring writer l hope my story can one day effect even 1% of the people his story did.
Rest in peace
The GOAT RIP
No matter how much I simp for Togashi and Miura, Toriyama will always be just as great of an inspiration to me for his works. Dragonball as well as Z have always been important to me. Great art does something to resonate with you, pulling you in before you even realize why. Beyond the flashy surface value of the art form which is what most seek to imitate, Toriyama gave a piece of himself and created something that moved the entire world and industry forward.
Same, I have Toriyama to thank for Bleach being the way it is if it hadn't been for him talking to Tite Kubo the way he had did then I would have never got to see it be made and come to pass now.
I may never had really watched it as kid (Heh, my mother still exposed to be anime. We were watching Magic Knight Rayearth and The Slayers when I was like a tot.) but with
DBZ being introduced to me in a VHS marathon in my mid-teens...Just like watching reading Berserk in my mid-20's I'd be surly missed without Dragon Ball Z being introduced to
me. Same with TeamFour Star! (God, I can't imagine how those guys feel on this.) Those guys made me love that series even more so, myself even doing those voices while
playing on the PS2 via Bukokai 3 and Tekaichi 3! It was also the first manga I picked up that wasn't Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh! it being a large Paper-back of DragonBall V1.
I don't exactly have the best DB collection, but I pretty much wouldn't be the current me without Dragon Ball. RIP Super Manga Legend. May he Rest with King Kai/Lord Yemma.
Yea I heard it this morning, and yea his creation will live on forever, whenever someone is getting into manga Dragon Ball is usually the very first manga you’ll ever hear. Goku is as well known throughout the world as Superman, Dragon Ball will still be read 100 years from now.
May Akira Toriyama's soul rest in peace
Dragon Ball is the first anime that I fell in love with. I'm at a loss of words, the world lost someone special. RIP Toriyama you were one of the best!
R.I.P. Hero of so many generations 🕊
There are words I cannot describe after the shocking news last night. The inner child me cries with the passing of Akira Toriyama who died at acute subdural hematoma.
He is one of the most influence creators we have in our time, and he's inspired other manga creators to create their own Shonen franchises like Naruto and One Piece.
I would have never gotten into Toonmai at a young age if not for Dragon Ball Z. Let alone other medias like movies and video games.
RIP Akira Toriyama. We will forever miss you and thank you for everything!
RIP to a legendary mangaka and man Akira Toriyama 😭 rest easy 🙏 king.
That news was not what I wanted to hear after having a rather rough day yesterday. Been thinking back on fond memories, watching video tributes (this one included) , retweeting things and rocking my Goku Gi shirt all day today. RIP Toriyama you will be missed.
🫡 pouring a drink tonight for the memories boyz!
Toriana will always will be a legend of Anime and Monga the man left us greatest entertainment we ever have.
This Man helped change the course of my life and who I am. Toriyama inspired me follow what I do best and helped me improve constantly. The debt I owe him can never be repaid, And he didn't even know it. Now he never will. Goodbye Akira Toriyama, Thank you for everything.
Rest in Peace Akira Toriyama Sensei,Father of Modern Shounen as we know it today,may you rest well up there in Heavens,Riding a big Dinosaur with mechanical arms and tail,🫡
Another great man gone😢. Ironically enough I learned of Kentaro Miuras passing from you as well Ryan 🤯 RIP Akira and thank you for a indescribable power that is Dragonball
R.I.P. Akira Toriyama 🙏😭
The positive messages in your works have and will change countless people's lives for the better. Your essence lives on through them.
Thank you, sir. 🙏
🥺😞💔😢😭😢😔🙏 Truly he will be missed forever.
Seriously one of the most influential beings of our time.
RIP to an absolute legend. One of the seminal figures manga/anime, on which so much else owes credit to for existing
Although many people disagree with each other I think we should all come together and just be empathetic like goku turn enemies into friends because no matter what we do we can say without a doubt we are grieving our childhoods let’s celebrate his life after we process this loss feel it all man this man is a legend the top 5 of any list of peoples works who were influential and definitely needed
I really loved Dragon Ball, and I still watch some scenes even today. But when I think about it, I don't know if, for example, Dragon Ball, Naruto, and One Piece will stand the test of time. I am totally sure that Berserk will be known for centuries and even thousands of years. Dragon Ball and other stories that are very popular nowadays may not be remembered in the future. There were so many stories that were super popular back then, but nowadays, nobody knows them, while others that were not well-known are now widely recognized. It's like music; there are some songs that everybody listens to for a while, but after some time, nobody listens to them anymore. Meanwhile, high-quality music stands the test of time. I admire Toriyama, though; he's super talented, and as you said, he has truly influenced the world!
I remember DragonballZ being about the only show where i was worried about the characters. The fights felt like a real struggle and the villains felt like an actual threat!
Also, amazing how Torijama's work has inspired you to become stronger! It truly shows the power of great fiction!
Dragon ball definitely helped me get into anime! Ryan if you are streaming today could we have the stream be centered around dragon ball and it’s affect on other media.
I got a a little teary too when I heard the news.
Miura, Takahashi and Toriyama all within 3 years. 3 men that have impacted and inspired the lives of millions around the world. Nothing but respect for them for all their hard work and the amazing stories they gave us that gave us the courage and inspiration to accomplish things within our own lives.
I honestly can't even count the ways DBZ influenced, shaped, and formed me. Akira Toriyama touched so many of us and I really wonder if he had any idea how influential he was. Thank you Toriyama-sensei. Sincerely.
RIP Akira Toriyama a true legend
Legendary RIP Akira Toriyama
Toriyama and his art and stories have been very influential to me growing up. Adventure, wonder and perseverance, these important lessons will never go away. Rest in peace, Akira Toriyama, an absolute legend.
Farewell Toriyama
I’ll never forget you for making me the person i am today
The impact toriyama had really was insane. To referencing his work in even high budget films (example is creed 3 but theres probably way more)
The manga was over god tier and legendary might be an understatement. His art was inspirational beyond words.
In 5 years we lost alot of greats
RIP akira toriyama may your works inspire future mangakas💓💜💓
beautiful tribute Rest in peace Toriyama
Great summary of opinions, Ryan. I am one of the millions he reached at a young age.
Not only did Toriyama make manga/anime blow up in the west, he was probably the biggest ambassador of japanese culture to the world.
Japanese way of thinking, costumes, weird things they do diferently, their values, lifestyle, hopes and fears.
We learned things that adults didn't comprehend way ahead of schedule. Our world expanded suddenly.
If Bruce Lee was the first wave of martial arts fever, Dragon Ball absolutely sparked the second one.
Dragon Ball changed something inside my head, too. I don't think I got dense life lessons from anywhere else at the time.
Nothing else at the time was so tuned to young men, nothing else spoke to me.
It had the perfect tone, goofy but it always took things seriously and earnestly , just like a young man.
R.I.P. Akira Toriyama he always be the best.
It's insane how Akira Toriyama's work inspired so many famous pop-cultures over the last 30 years, including fighting games. These are only few characters I could think of that. I'm sure there's more.
Thank you for everything legend. Rest in Peace.
Very few people will leave as big an impact on the world as Toriyama did. Many folks have been and are currently inspired by him to improve and endure whatever trials they come across. He’ll be missed worldwide.
I'd argue Dragon ball even more popular out of the west, like in South america and the Middle East.
I am having the Arabic Dragon ball opening on repeat since last night🥲
That man shaped my childhood.
4:00 I totez agree! When I first started working out, there was a toned heavy weightlifter that frequented the gym and had SSJ2 Electrostatic Majingeta Tattoo’d on his back right calf
That while listening to hard songs by All That Remains “Fall of Ideals” Full Album while I was weightlifting and thinking I’m not the only one appreciating DBZ in a way that has also Inspired the Hearts & Souls of MULTIPLE Generations of People in different ways 🌟
Not ashamed to say it. I cried man. I cried. Especially when I was rewatching some DBZ scenes where Goku went to heaven.
Akira Toriyama, you and your work will be remembered for years to come. Also, thank you for my childhood memories of DBZ and may you rest and peace.❤
🥲🥲🥲 My first manga was DBZ. He was one of the GOATs. RIP
I am 38 years old and damn this hurt so hard...my entire younger days were about manga and anime..and Dragon Ball for me was one of the first ones for personally with Hokuto No Ken...rest in peace Akira Toriyama..legend..
Not Gonna Lie. I literally cried today hearing he passed away . I already knew myself how much he meant to me! He been influencing me since I was 12. Him passing was a big like when I Bruce Lee passed even though he passed before I was born. It was a big deal still. Tupac... Mac Dre .. Aaliyah... Selena... Stan Lee... And now Akira.... I was hoping for more of his Art! May the Legend Rest in Paradise!!! I love you Akira and thank you for a awesome childhood all the way to adulthood!
Not to take away from the moment we are giving to honor Toriyama but always respect how you put real life on the camera bro, no pun intended.
The emotion, nostalgia, the profound shift in sense of self that many people experienced while consuming this art shows just how well Toriyama understood the human condition and how powerful his characters and stories are. Through his art he extended his hand to anyone who felt beat down and said “we go again, theres another level we can reach. ”
He’s an icon, a legend, a pioneer and a symbol of human achievement that cannot be overlooked.
RIP Akira Toriyama and thank you for everything you’ve done and inspired. 👊🏼
Great ending to the video Ryan, really brilliant.
A fantastic video, my guy! You story and examples really help emphasis how important these stories are. You're "one more set for Toriyama" got to me, man. It really did.
I was not expecting this video to hit me the way it did. You've made me realize that Dragon Ball affected, shaped and inspired a lot more people than just myself.
I was exposed to Dragon Ball when a friend at school brough in Dragon Ball Z for Kinect and I was literally introduced to dragon ball way back in 2013. And since then I’m a massive dragon ball fan and anime/ manga fan out there. Without akira toriyama I wouldn’t have experienced YuYu Hakusho, Rurouni Kenshin, Hunter X Hunter, Saint Seiya, Fists of the Northstar and many more shonen series out there.
Heaven just leveled up their Shonen Jump writers ❤ Kentaro Miura and Akira Toriyama
Took me a while to understand why those epic fights went for 20 to 30 episodes.
But when it came to the smaller filler episodes, like Goku and Piccolo learning how to Drive a Car.
Or the episode where Gohan goes to school and gets hit by a baseball and just walks to 1st base.
Those were the funny moments that got me into Dragon Ball and understood the series humor.
Thank you Ryan. I have watched many videos regarding the death of Sensei Toriyama but yours is without doubts the most felted one. And the one that really express how I feel about this sad loss. Thank you again. Goodbye Sensei, RIP. ❤😢
I would relate dragon ball villains to life problems and ive always identified with Gokus personality be positive do whats right have a nice meal and trust in yourself and a long the way i lost that i became bitter a few days ago sting retired from wrestling and i had a conversation with my self about who i was and when i heard this happened i saw that same kid i was and realized that this show had shown me values that i need to live by to not feel sorry for myself these shows showed us that a pure innocent heart is worth more than anything else and the right choice is always the best choice and always stick to your values
damn dragon ball was my childhood, my mom died 13 years ago, and my father passed away last month from cancer also, when i was a kid watching dragon ball at the beginning he used to say " damn it's slow"or" when do they fight" then by the end watching it with me. yersteday when a friend akira toriyama passed away damn that quite a pinch in the heart.
His influence cannot be understated. Without him, we wouldn't have One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Demon Slayer, Chainsaw Man, etc. RIP Akira Toriyama. Fly high 🕊😢
Michael B Jordan did a interview and said the “PUNCHH” from creed 3 where hey but each other and knocked each out at the same time was a DIRECT nod to DBZ when Vegata and Goku had their rematch .. this is how impactful Akita Toriyama was .. he inspired me to hit the gym too .. the motivational aspects literally was crazy .. not only did the story grow on us but so did the characters.. we literally grew up with Gohan and trunks and Goten .. and the rest of the cast ..
I don’t think there’s a anime that quite transcends the medium like DBZ man .. he will be missed but he lives on thru us and thru the timeless art and creation of that world 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Yeah, one of my favorite creators because of Dragon Ball, from the anime, manga, and video games godammit it was just my whole life growing up and it hurts but sucks to see him go away like that, I mean if it hadn't been for the dang disease or whatever and maybe if Toriyama had a chance to make some better life choices give or take then maybe things would be very different now... I just wanna say that if he wasn't sick and had those fatal problems if they could have been corrected or differently then yeah he could have lived a little longer or much longer perhaps but I don't know now, I just feel bad for his family mainly and friends or close friends he had along the way.. The rest of the world has been grieving but also showing their greatest memories of Toriyamas through Dragon Ball and honoring him in the most way possible, I just smile at how beautiful the world has been right now at paying respects the man, the myth, and the LEGEND himself Akira Toriyama, I didn't know that he had inspired comic book artists in the west as I today just kind of shifted away from the west media comic wise but I understand that the inspiration Toriyama has done for everyone else like you said cannot be underestimated... It is just like truly some great stuff that I cannot explain but does hit you deep in your core, I would just be smiling, happy, laugh, and be all fired up like Goku and the other Saiyans in Dragon Bal be that was just so much infectious determination for me to keep going and never give up even though like you said yourself as on to others they thought and some and still do think is cheesy, corny, and call others whatever else dumb names they had for DBFANS but like man growing up when you have no positive vibes or motivation to go around you nowhere and you can get it from a show, song, book, or whatever then I would just take whatever I can get honestly.
Unlike for some where watching DB meant you were basic and all that yeah I heard it all it got really annoying, the community itself is far from being saints or as Smart individuals oh that alone I know personally from secondhand experience with them 😅 but yeah DB mainly is just that thing that kept me and brought me hope in life when nothing else did so I would keep at it and just consume very different things related to dragon ball until now... The games man all I'mma say left is that the games I had growing up in the beginning were just Dragon Ball related morely Z and GT if you count Budokai 1 - 3, Budokai Tenkaichi series 1 - 3, Burst Limit, Super Dragon Ball Z, and Raging Blast 1 & 2... It was so magical having those things growing up, me, my brother and parents fighting each other, blowing up planets and 💩 it was just very fond moments and memories... Also I never really knew about Dragon Quest that much back then but I did play a game called Blue Dragon though.
Knowing already about Z I just want to appreciate the rest of Toriyamas work now by finishing OG Dragon Ball, Diama, Dr. Slump, and then some.
he inspired me in a lot of ways too, rest in power
Remembering the speech from Vegeta to Goku during the tournament of power, where he talks about the saiyans of shattering the limits time after time and also to trespass into the domain of god's and now it's Just impossible to believe that one who is responsible for creating the whole dragon Ball universe has left us . Thank you sir, Akira Toriyama Sensei for injecting the eternal bliss of into us.
Dragon ball impacted the world me in saudi arabia we grew up with Dragon ball..its a huge part of my childhood and it inspired me as an artist..im a manga artist and animator because of anime and dbz is a huge part of that
We all know none of us would be who we are without this man. RIP. 🐐
It's hard to believe that within just three years we lost both Miura and Toriyama.
While the first is my favourite author, without Toriyama and Dragon Ball probably I would have never been into anime and manga enough to want to discover what else that world has to offer. A literal legend who revolutionize the industry and inspired millions, myself included.
RIP to Akira Toriyama from a 37 years old disabled guy from a French oversea-department in the Caribbean called Guadeloupe 🏝
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING
we lost one of the greatest of all time for sure he touched me and so many others with his work one of the greatest works of fiction ever.
