I'm actually shaking because this series has done so much for me :deadbanana4: RIP king, you brought so much great into this world

Legend. May he rest in peace. He'll live on forever with Dragon Ball. :weeps:

RIP

This is such a tragic loss. He kind of pioneered a lot of elements of modern shonen with dbz. The first real crossover series too. Anime wouldn't be where it was today without dragon ball and dbz.

My jaw actually dropped. I can’t believe it… RIP, legend.

Omg, this so sad. :weeps: I could never get into Dragon Ball so I admit that I wasn't a fan of his work, but Dragon Ball heavily inspired Naruto, One Piece and Bleach, so I respect Mr. Toriyama and thank him for revolutionizing Shonen manga. :clap3:

Akira was THE Mangaka legend that influenced so many other mangakas and shonen series 

May he rest in peace.

I think he hit his head somehow. He died of acute subdural hematoma.

 

This is just so sad and I'm kind of shaking. I just feel so ******* terrible. He's inspired so many artists around the world and has been such a presence in so many people's childhood's including my own.

You really don't understand how current and influential Dragon Ball still is to this day in Latin America. 

 

Thank you king for being a big part of my childhood. The relationship with my dad grew up a lot because of Dragon Ball.

 

RIP :heart2:

RIP King. His influence and legacy can’t be understated.  
 

Culture wouldn’t be the way it was if it wasn’t for him and his work. DBZ and Dragon Quest, his worked really shaped the world.
