@@SogonD.Zunatsu To consider someone a brother isn't wrong the man is literally family to anime lovers like a Walt Disney. This Man gave us such special childhoods don't start mess with ppl right now.
When I was a kid I was bullied and had a hard time growing up, Goku and Gohan were my Superman, I used gokus unwillingness to give up and Gohan’s anger to push thru rough obstacles. I’m in tears writing this, hopefully I can meet my childhood hero in heaven someday
I’m 39 now and this man changed my life as a child with Dragonball Z. I’ll never forget when I accidentally stumbled upon Goku and Piccolo fighting Raditz on U.S. television and it blew my mind as a kid in the 90s, been a fan ever since. RIP to a legend.
37 here. I remember rushing home from middle school to make sure to catch the new episode. In my 20s, I hit a really low patch in life. Living in my parents house, no steady work, broke.....while I was at one my lowest, I binge watched all of Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and all of the movies.....It gave me comfort through one of the worst time my life. God damn this sucks.
Whether you liked Dragon Ball or not, you can't deny, his work influenced many manga/anime writers and artists, many that have worked on anime you love. Without Toriyama, without Dragon Ball, anime wouldn't be where it is today. RIP to the goat..
I’m a 30 year old grown man found out while I was at work and it didn’t hit me until I got home I’m just happy my wife and kid are sleep outside of my father no other man had a bigger impact on my life thank you Akira Toriyama RIP
Same here the impact he had on our lives.He gave us something to beleive in.Goku a character like no other who taught us many things about life especially to not give up even on our darkest hours.RIP Akira Toriyama you aren't really gone your memory may live forever
Even if i'm 12 only i was watching Dragon Ball Z when i was like 4.😭 I love you Akira Toriyama, DBZ was a part of my life in the entire world of the anime Rest in peace🕊❤
I’m 37 & I discovered dragon ball in 1997. The very 1st ep I ever saw was Vegeta in ape form fighting Goku. Toriyama sensei was the greatest artist my eyes had ever seen. RIP 😞
This man made a franchise that has literally saved my life more than once. Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, were all my inspiration growing up...hell, my son is a fan now because of influence of the manga and the show. RIP, Akira.
The first song my son heard when he was born was the Dragon Ball theme song. He then grew up to watch and enjoy naturally all of Akira Toriyama's work. Mr. Toriyama was a King level Manga artist and a little part of every family his work touched. He will be missed but not forgotten for generations to come.
I'm extremely hurt by this, I grew up with Dragon Ball. Toriyama sensei is my favorite artist of all time, this hits hard, thank you for everything Toriyama sensei, I will miss you 💔
I am so sad. I’m in my early 40s and watched dragon ball before it hit the states. I’ve watched this series all my life. I have the complete DBZ MAGA, and me and my daughter watched every single episode of Super together. I look forward to watching Diama in the fall, but my anime heroes are gone. Toriyama’s death is the death of the dragon ball universe. Goodbye. Thanks for so many good times. I will continue to rewatch my favorite episodes. RIP 😭
When I think of Dragonball, I think of going to the library as a 8 year old kid and reading the manga every single day after school. Akira Toriyama made my childhood. My heart is filled with sadness. RIP Akira Toriyama
I'm 36, have tattoos of piccolo goku gohan and shenron. To hear that one of the greatest anime creators of all time has passed broke me. Akira toriyamas works and characters of db and dbz were a massive part of my childhood. He was and will remain an absolute legend. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ sitting in my loungeroom, crying my eyes out watching dragonball z. Akira Toriyama, you're a legend, you were a huge part of the entire anime community, you will be sorely missed. Hope the kai's encourage you to achieve what you couldn't achieve here xx R.I.P ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just saw this as well it doesn't feel real, dbz was my big break into anime, to this day I can still remember the first episode I ever watched, im sure their are many like me who Toriyama inspired with his works, he will be greatly missed
Rip akira toriyama I grow up watching dragon ball series and I play budakia tenashi on ps2 and I play dragon ball z kakarot with all the dlc rip akira the creator of dragon ball he will be missed
My first memories of watching anything was of watching Dragon Ball. And I've enjoyed it in one form or another ever since. RIP Akira Toryama. We'll never forget what you've given us.
As a hardcore fan of dragon ball, this really hits hard, I don't cry. But this time fvkk. I can't stop these tears. I wanted to meet and talk to him someday but that's impossible now. I just got fired from my job, my only 2 dogs died last month and then this. I effing hate this world. Sold my dragon ball collection to my friend so I can buy it again once I got a job. Now, he's planning to move to different country. I hate this year. Definitely worse than my 2020.
I'm so sorry. But don't give up hope. Please. Life can get better. I hope you get a new job that you love. Think about your dogs. Do you think they'd want you to be happy? ❤
My friend just bought the whole dvd box set of dbz on eBay I think for $60. The guy selling it has sold over 100’s. So if you look around, you may be able to find it for cheap when you get a job again.
His influence is absolutely massive. He will live on in all of us. The man who taught many that you can be both strong and kind, serious and childish, the man who inspired so many others to create their own amazing stories. He left an amazing legacy behind. RIP Legend.
I feel the same way bro, grew up watching it, and recently watched the whole series to help me quit weed, been watching again finished z a couple weeks ago and half way through super again to try help me quit tobacco while going through withdrawals from the weed still, besides og jersey shore it's the only show Ive ever been interested in, I don't watch movies or anything, still makes me cry and laugh till this day, I have a note on my wall next to my bed saying " the positivity of Goku and the pride of vegeta" that I would look at every morning when I woke up with intense anxiety and depression from withdrawals to help me survive, besides Pauly d from jersey shore those 2 have been my only role models my whole life, and they arent even real people.. Akira created something powerful bro, I only hope he truely knew what he has done for so many of us, it's hard not to cry, what a legend.. nothing in this world even comes close to this masterpiece he has left behind, rest in peace Akira Toriyama, a true legend
i was never bullied at school or anyting of the sort, but man if i didnt take lessons of kindness, unending dedication and pride in oneself from Goku and Vegeta, thank you Mr Toriyama, for all that you gave, the earth will miss you, until we meet again
Many men cried today. Thank you for sharing this. Rip to the GOAT. Showed ous the character pure heart, curiousity, strenght and adversity. You even got the art tatted, have to sub. Bless him Akira. He lives trough the art and ous.
Im a martial artist and I remember when I joined on. I was a good year into it, my teacher was trying to teach me but I was impatient to learn and I had adhd. But I tried my damndest to learn. I nearly actually quit even though I didn't want to. Then a little cousin of mine made me watch dragonballz with him. I didn't like it at first but after one episode I was completely hooked. It was of gohan attacking Majin buus egg and goku and vegeta headbutting each other that in a way it simplified what my master was trying to teach me. I went back into it with a new sense of gusto. I began working out hard and learning the techniques he was teaching me. And each time I watched dragonball or dbz, I would always plan my next training around it and I loved each minute of it. I'm now a teacher with my own students and I encourage them also to watch a Lil dbz here and there lol. God bless you Akira toriyama. Thank you so much for the memories you gave us. Well never ever ever forget you.
I'm 39 years old and I first discovered Dragon Ball through a friend when I was about 13 years old and he kept going on and on about it being the greatest thing. I thought he was insane. Till I accidentally came across the fight between Goku and Ginyu on TV, my jaw dropped on the floor and I've been hooked ever since with Dragon Ball still being a major part of my life. Thanks Toriyama, you made our childhood awesome and you will always be remembered. RIP Legend
Dang dude. His characters changed my life. Literally. Goku gave me the courage to stand up to my bully. That moment changed my life forever. His works will live on and hopefully change the lives of many many more.
I grew up in France with Dragon Ball and Dr Slump, I'm 45 now, and I still watch and read Toriyama Sensei's work .... Thanks for everything, a big part of our childhood just vanished...
Noooooooooo! I’m just hearing this from you for the first time. Oh no man. Terrible news. What a guy. What an impact. Never forget what he’s left us with. ❤️🩹 I can relate, theory. Dragon Ball gave me strength in high school.
Dragon ball is everything to me it’s helped me through so many dark times…Ik he’s in other world right now if only the dragon balls were real so we could wish him back.
I found out about the news while eating lunch at work. Good I was alone, because I started crying. Akira-san is responsible for my childhood and I will be forever grateful
You will live forever Akira Toriyama, you have made this world so much better, you have been an essential part of my life, and have made it much better, saving me countless times, the impact it's unreal, thank you for everything, thank you for creating one of the best creations this world has ever seen. RIP legend.
I am 38 about to be 39 and I fell in love with DBZ back in 1998 at age 13. Moltar was the first host of Toonami introducing anime shows and DBZ was one that got me hooked and emotionally connected. I truely believe Dragon Ball helped shaped me as a kid. I thank Akira Toriyama for his creations and the communities his stories created. RIP T-T!
This one got me good. It really did. Woke up devastated by this news. I’m 28 this year and fell in love with Dragon Ball when I was three years old, never looked back. This man’s stories and characters have taught me so much along the way. Truly a brilliant mind that inspired many… until we meet again!
My feed was getting blown up about the sad passing of the legend Toriyama-san. His work in Dragon Ball, Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, and Blue Dragon had a left a big impression on me. It also saddens me that he was also involved with so many more projects that now is left without him involved no longer. The world of anime and manga won’t be the same without him. RIP Akira Toriyama.
I hope In the next life he is giving the Blessings he deserves for creating a series that has impacted so many lives for the better. Ill never forget It, RIP Akira Toriyama
I cried outside my gym for 20 minutes. I remember being in third grade, first episode of Dragon Ball I ever saw was Piccolo fusing with Nail. I’ll never forget the strength and drive he has helped me find through the journeys of these characters. I have been inspired and helped through everything from schooling to fatherhood from these characters.
Can't put into words how helpful this man's art remains to be in the lives of I and my little brother. The inspirational philosophies running throughout Toriyama's work can transform a person both physically and spiritually into a better, stronger version of themselves. In a way, he saved the lives many young men over the years.
Because of him, we got to find the dragon balls, see the birth of the super saiyan, see the prince earn his birthright, see the perfect lifeform, and even further beyond. Not him, nor the stories and lessons he imparted to all of us will ever be lost or forgotten. RIP you absolutely legend.
Damn man rip to the legend! Thank you brother Vegeta and Goku inspired me to push myself in the gym! To know my limit and break them! 32 year old here thriving and healthy because of your influence.
Bro, I didn't know you also had a Dragon Ball Theory channel...you're the biggest fan of the 2 things I'm the biggest fan of too. But Dragon Ball is and always will be nr 1 for me. My favorite story and characters of all time. Toriyama's passing affected me in a way I didn't expect...I am in grief. But you know, as grandpa Gohan said: "Saying goodbye is never easy but it is a necessary step before we can say hello again....". We will see him in Other World, champ. But hopefully not too soon...☁❤🩹
Toriyama deserves his rest after a long life of joint problems and pushing on to create stories and characters to help improve our lives. His sense of humour, designs and absolute mastery of his craft made all of our day to daily lives so much better and for some including myself, he made it possible to live outside of torture.
That ending really spoke to me. I also had a old scratchbook full of drawing of DBZ characters! HAHAHAHAa Thanks for all the fun memories, Akira Toriyama!
We lost a true legend. Toriyama single handedly pioneered I would say anime and manga not only in the west but I would say over the world. I am from south America, Brazil, and I can say with conviction that his work, I would say second only to saint Seiya and yu yu hakusho, was every mid to late 80s kids outing from whatever they were going through. I am privileged to have been able to take part in his work and grow up with him as an inspiration. RIP Toriyama Akira. Mangaka legend.
I don't cry often... I didn't even know the man that well. But damn that hurt. I legit cried this morning when I learn the news I was not expecting this... Dragon ball is literally my childhood I cannot express how much it is special to me... 😥 R.i.p Mr.Toriyama
Akira Toriyama is such a legend. I’ve also grown up with Dr. Slump and not only the Dragon Ball franchise, but his character designs for my favorite JRPG games are incredible. Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, Blue Dragon etc. Toriyama sensei, thank you so much for everything you’ve done for millions of fans around the world. You are such a genius who inspired many manga artists. For my final wish, I wish I could revive you with the Dragon Balls. My condolences from the bottom of my heart to your family and friends. Rest in peace. 鳥山 明は私にとって伝説的な存在です。私はドラゴンボールシリーズだけではなく、子供の頃からドクタースランプも見ながら育ちました。そして、彼のキャラクターデザインは私の大好きな JRPGゲームにも影響を与えており、素晴らしいです。例えば ドラゴンクエスト、クロノ・トリガー、ブルードラゴン等。 今までの活動と世界中の数多くのファンたちの為にご尽力いただき、本当にありがとうございました。鳥山先生は天才であり、多くの漫画家に大きな影響を与えた方です。私のたった一つの願いとしては、あなたをドラゴンボールで生き返らせることです。心の底から哀悼の意を、先生のご家族、ご友人に捧げます。 どうか安らかに。
This shook me, man. I'm so emotional, his work inspired and changed me, helped me through hard times and I got a best friend to this day because of Akira. It means a lot to many, his masterpieces. Thank you Akira Toriyama. Rest in power and peace.
You made me tear up when you showed your old drawings. It reminded me of the hours and hours I spent drawing DBZ characters when I was a child. It's time to draw Goku again for old time's sake.
Everybody is going to be shedding tears over this tragedy, one of the most iconic manga artists is dead. I still remember seeing Dragon Ball Z Kai on Nicktoons as a kid and being intrigued by it, so the next time I went to Blockbuster I saw outside in the bargain bin was Cooler's Revenge. I watched that movie special so many times and even though I didn't know what was going on I was interested in finding more. My next big step was when a friend gave me a his old Dragon Ball Z DVD and it contain three episodes from the Buu Saga, that's when I was hooked. Over the next three years, I had my father buy me the the orange bricks box sets with the legendary Bruce Faulconer music and I was so obsessed with this franchise I start drawing my own comics with the main character being myself as Goku. It was called something like John Ball Z, Joku the super Jaiyan. LOL!!! Rest in Peace to the man himself Akira Toriyama, I hope he's in a better place still drawing.
What I loved seeing the most, was how impactful it was across the world and how it united so many cultures. I've never seen videos of people from many different countries watching together, celebrating Goku. I know speaking for myself, and how it impacted my life, I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for Akira Toriyama and what he created. Through all of my darkest days, I always remembered what our heroes in this show would do and even to this day as a 30+ year old man I still utilize these foundations. I'm forever grateful to Akira Toriyama for what he gave me and many of us, one incredible childhood and heroes to forever to inspire to be like, even if they're fictional. Rest in peace Akira, we will miss you
I never really got into Dragon ball but my old best friend used to be obsessed with it and made me play a few games and watch a few episodes and films so I know basics, but despite me not watching dragon ball personally knowing how influential he was to anime and magma in general and what DB did for so many millions of people this still hits hard, just one guy and a passion changed the world of anime.
i was living in DB reality as a kid. I was recording myself in the old voice players talking about each episode i was watching. Cant imagine my joy in the voice. Rest in piece sir. You managed to connect so many ppl in every corner of the world, be it poor or developed country. Hope your legacy will stay and live on.
Bro literally is the reason why anime is so popular in the west
Man passed away and you call him "bro" smh.

Definitely
Today, grown man all over the world cried
Bro not even capping this is the first time in my life and probably the only time in my life that I'll ever cry over someone who never knew who I was
When I was a kid I was bullied and had a hard time growing up, Goku and Gohan were my Superman, I used gokus unwillingness to give up and Gohan’s anger to push thru rough obstacles.
I’m in tears writing this, hopefully I can meet my childhood hero in heaven someday
We both will man trust me we both will🥲
😢 both
We both will man.. trush me.

Akira Toriyama has my deepest respect. He did amazing work with manga and entertainment and he is a legend that will never go unforgotten.
An absolute legend. His work has inspired, brought joy, and hyped up do many if us worldwide. RIP Toriyama ❤
He taught me how to be an good friend, how to be a good person. I cant think of any person in the world thats had a bigger impact on me
Can't believe he is gone. RIP the man responsible for why I'm into Anime today. 😢
same here. the first time I saw Dragon Ball when I was 5 too. RIP Toriyama.
😢❤🙏🏼 DB was there for me in some really hard times. Forever grateful for his work, and gift to us. God bless him.
You will live forever Akira Toriyama, you have made this world so much better, you have been an essential part of my life, and have made it much better, saving me countless times, the impact it's unreal, thank you for everything, thank you for creating one of the best creations this world has ever seen. RIP legend.
Still in Shock General Theory, Besides Star War's it was Dragon Ball RIP to a Legend That Created a Legacy That Saved and Inspired Many 🕯️☯️🕯️🙏
His name and work are immortal and will live on in all of pur memories ✨️
I am 38 about to be 39 and I fell in love with DBZ back in 1998 at age 13. Moltar was the first host of Toonami introducing anime shows and DBZ was one that got me hooked and emotionally connected. I truely believe Dragon Ball helped shaped me as a kid. I thank Akira Toriyama for his creations and the communities his stories created. RIP T-T!
This one got me good. It really did. Woke up devastated by this news. I’m 28 this year and fell in love with Dragon Ball when I was three years old, never looked back. This man’s stories and characters have taught me so much along the way. Truly a brilliant mind that inspired many… until we meet again!
My feed was getting blown up about the sad passing of the legend Toriyama-san. His work in Dragon Ball, Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, and Blue Dragon had a left a big impression on me. It also saddens me that he was also involved with so many more projects that now is left without him involved no longer. The world of anime and manga won’t be the same without him. RIP Akira Toriyama.
Rest in Peace. He truly became immortal even without the dragon balls because his legacy will live forever.
I hope In the next life he is giving the Blessings he deserves for creating a series that has impacted so many lives for the better. Ill never forget It, RIP Akira Toriyama
That was Beautiful Man, I can't believe you still have those Drawings from 2001....📝✨ 🥺
This one hit me a lot harder than I was ready for. Rip Toriyama and I wish you all the best, be easy boys.
I cried outside my gym for 20 minutes.
I remember being in third grade, first episode of Dragon Ball I ever saw was Piccolo fusing with Nail. I’ll never forget the strength and drive he has helped me find through the journeys of these characters. I have been inspired and helped through everything from schooling to fatherhood from these characters.
Can't put into words how helpful this man's art remains to be in the lives of I and my little brother. The inspirational philosophies running throughout Toriyama's work can transform a person both physically and spiritually into a better, stronger version of themselves. In a way, he saved the lives many young men over the years.
Because of him, we got to find the dragon balls, see the birth of the super saiyan, see the prince earn his birthright, see the perfect lifeform, and even further beyond. Not him, nor the stories and lessons he imparted to all of us will ever be lost or forgotten. RIP you absolutely legend.
He is number 1
He always will be
In the hearts of billions
Thanks for the tribute to this Great Man who helped so many people grow... Rest In Peace Akira Toriyama 🙏
Damn man rip to the legend! Thank you brother Vegeta and Goku inspired me to push myself in the gym! To know my limit and break them! 32 year old here thriving and healthy because of your influence.
Legends don't die they transcend! - Rip Akira Toriyama :(
Rest in Peace Akira Toriyama!! Farewell and thank you 🙏
Bro, I didn't know you also had a Dragon Ball Theory channel...you're the biggest fan of the 2 things I'm the biggest fan of too. But Dragon Ball is and always will be nr 1 for me. My favorite story and characters of all time. Toriyama's passing affected me in a way I didn't expect...I am in grief. But you know, as grandpa Gohan said: "Saying goodbye is never easy but it is a necessary step before we can say hello again....". We will see him in Other World, champ. But hopefully not too soon...☁❤🩹
Toriyama deserves his rest after a long life of joint problems and pushing on to create stories and characters to help improve our lives. His sense of humour, designs and absolute mastery of his craft made all of our day to daily lives so much better and for some including myself, he made it possible to live outside of torture.
That ending really spoke to me. I also had a old scratchbook full of drawing of DBZ characters! HAHAHAHAa
Thanks for all the fun memories, Akira Toriyama!
We lost a true legend. Toriyama single handedly pioneered I would say anime and manga not only in the west but I would say over the world. I am from south America, Brazil, and I can say with conviction that his work, I would say second only to saint Seiya and yu yu hakusho, was every mid to late 80s kids outing from whatever they were going through. I am privileged to have been able to take part in his work and grow up with him as an inspiration. RIP Toriyama Akira. Mangaka legend.
I don't cry often... I didn't even know the man that well. But damn that hurt. I legit cried this morning when I learn the news I was not expecting this... Dragon ball is literally my childhood I cannot express how much it is special to me... 😥 R.i.p Mr.Toriyama
Akira Toriyama is such a legend. I’ve also grown up with Dr. Slump and not only the Dragon Ball franchise, but his character designs for my favorite JRPG games are incredible. Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, Blue Dragon etc.
Toriyama sensei, thank you so much for everything you’ve done for millions of fans around the world. You are such a genius who inspired many manga artists. For my final wish, I wish I could revive you with the Dragon Balls. My condolences from the bottom of my heart to your family and friends.
Rest in peace.
鳥山 明は私にとって伝説的な存在です。私はドラゴンボールシリーズだけではなく、子供の頃からドクタースランプも見ながら育ちました。そして、彼のキャラクターデザインは私の大好きな JRPGゲームにも影響を与えており、素晴らしいです。例えば ドラゴンクエスト、クロノ・トリガー、ブルードラゴン等。
今までの活動と世界中の数多くのファンたちの為にご尽力いただき、本当にありがとうございました。鳥山先生は天才であり、多くの漫画家に大きな影響を与えた方です。私のたった一つの願いとしては、あなたをドラゴンボールで生き返らせることです。心の底から哀悼の意を、先生のご家族、ご友人に捧げます。
どうか安らかに。
This shook me, man. I'm so emotional, his work inspired and changed me, helped me through hard times and I got a best friend to this day because of Akira. It means a lot to many, his masterpieces.
Thank you Akira Toriyama. Rest in power and peace.
That was touching man, I'm sure so many of us can relate
RIP! May dbz live on forever
Yeah man we grew watching Dragonball series since was watching the ocean dub since was 7 I’m 35 and Dragonball Z our life changed. RIP Akira Toriyama.
You made me tear up when you showed your old drawings. It reminded me of the hours and hours I spent drawing DBZ characters when I was a child.
It's time to draw Goku again for old time's sake.
Everybody is going to be shedding tears over this tragedy, one of the most iconic manga artists is dead. I still remember seeing Dragon Ball Z Kai on Nicktoons as a kid and being intrigued by it, so the next time I went to Blockbuster I saw outside in the bargain bin was Cooler's Revenge. I watched that movie special so many times and even though I didn't know what was going on I was interested in finding more. My next big step was when a friend gave me a his old Dragon Ball Z DVD and it contain three episodes from the Buu Saga, that's when I was hooked.
Over the next three years, I had my father buy me the the orange bricks box sets with the legendary Bruce Faulconer music and I was so obsessed with this franchise I start drawing my own comics with the main character being myself as Goku. It was called something like John Ball Z, Joku the super Jaiyan. LOL!!! Rest in Peace to the man himself Akira Toriyama, I hope he's in a better place still drawing.
Another great person that was kind enough to share his talents and vison with so many of us. A true legend.
What I loved seeing the most, was how impactful it was across the world and how it united so many cultures. I've never seen videos of people from many different countries watching together, celebrating Goku. I know speaking for myself, and how it impacted my life, I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for Akira Toriyama and what he created. Through all of my darkest days, I always remembered what our heroes in this show would do and even to this day as a 30+ year old man I still utilize these foundations. I'm forever grateful to Akira Toriyama for what he gave me and many of us, one incredible childhood and heroes to forever to inspire to be like, even if they're fictional. Rest in peace Akira, we will miss you
I’m 40 never cried but this broke me when I woke up I’m a mess I’m with you man
Literally inspired much of the world. An infinite thanks to him
I never really got into Dragon ball but my old best friend used to be obsessed with it and made me play a few games and watch a few episodes and films so I know basics, but despite me not watching dragon ball personally knowing how influential he was to anime and magma in general and what DB did for so many millions of people this still hits hard, just one guy and a passion changed the world of anime.
i was living in DB reality as a kid. I was recording myself in the old voice players talking about each episode i was watching. Cant imagine my joy in the voice. Rest in piece sir. You managed to connect so many ppl in every corner of the world, be it poor or developed country. Hope your legacy will stay and live on.
