He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten.
RIP Akira Toriyama. 😔
I never knew him.and I will forget him again the second I leave this comment section lmao
All of México is crying right now. DBZ was arguably bigger in México than Japan. Even non anime fans hold it in high regard. Grown adults ranging from doctors and lawyers to rappers and adult film stars many 90s and 2000s kids had DBZ in their homes.
I'm German by I spent most of my childhood in Mexico, and let me tell you it is impossible to escape from the passion for DragonBall there. I remember watching it on cable TV and it was on the free broadcast channels as well.
Without Toriyama, anime would not have reached the popularity it currently enjoys! At least in Western countries and other parts of the globe! May Akira Toriyama rest in paradise! King Yema was crying when he saw him at the check in station! He’s with King Kai now!
RIP Aikira Toriyama! Dash you're a real dude bro. Can't wait for more South Park content tho lol.
Just you doing this video acknowledging Mr. Toriyama is more than enough respect because even though you didn’t have to do it, you did it and that gets you respect and why you’re one of the best on UA-cam
When I was a kid I somehow stumbled onto Dragon Ball. I loved the original anime, wasn't suuuuper into DBZ until way later.
Never liked GT, but super was great.
Where you from? I mean countrywise. Because for Germany it took an eternity that it go licenced and it was said that it's the fault of the Americans.
@@TheLibermania I'm in the US. I saw Dragon Ball dubbed on TV in the early 90s. Just as DBZ was getting popular
@@JPgene_ Right DBZ were around 2001-02 ish.
Dragonball GT in Germany came out 2008. Way too late for me to be still interested.
It was Toonami on cartoon network for me. (Adult Swim for Bleach and YYH) R.I.P. Toriyama. God Bless this man for DBZ
Aw but most of that was censured watch the full versions those are great
Japanese morning anime shows can sometimes be accused of having no real messages for children. Pokemon, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh, were all shaped around continuous consumerism for the product. If there was one positive message I took away from DB is a pretty common trope that they popularised by turning every opponent into an ally. He does this throughout the series with the exception of The Red Ribbon Army and Toa Pei Pei until he faces Frieza. That's why Frieza is such an important villain because he represents that some people can not be convinced, converted, humbled. Some people must be defeated. But I always found that feature of the series to be it's strongest aspect. Seeing all the Z warriors in that intro all lined up knowing that almost all the Z fighters fought Goku, lost, and became his ally, is one of the coolest things about the show.
Ironically, I did learn a ton of lessons from Yugioh and Pokemon. Yugioh taught me through very corny ways the power of friendship and of course perseverance to fight out of any situation. Same perseverance lesson with Pokemon, especially when Pikachu took on Raichu. But yes, DBZ taught a TON of meaningful lessons.
YOU BLEW MY MIND AWAY when you told me about him doing the art work in Dragon Quest, over here in America it's known as "Dragon Warrior", that's up until the "music band" named "Dragon Quest" fizzled out, and then it was ALL called Dragon Quest!!!!! Those are some of my older brother's, and my FAVORITE GAMES of ALL TIME 😊😉!!!!!!!!! Then you bring up "Chrono Trigger", then I REALLY LOST MY $H!T 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!!!!!!!!!! I had NO IDEA, he done all those GREAT THINGS!!!!!!! Thanks Dash 😊!!!!!!!!!!!
I am from Germany. 2 years ago I have started watching Dragon Ball. Prior to that I have only heard about it from friends. Suddendly I decided for myself just to start watching it, since I felt like I was missing out on something. And I was correct. I was hooked instantly. Since then I have seen all the shows (including DBZ Abridged by TeamFourStar) and the movies. It became one of my favourite things in my life.
It's truly amazing and beautiful, how somebody following their passion can impact the lives around them.
Good time to start watching ❤
My dad is like 61 and even he remembers it from when I was kid. Dragon Ball was the best series.
I guess Dash will be reacting to DBZ on this channel??
2 Episodes of Filler to get one attack done.
I love that everyone is coming together to show respect to Akira Toriyama, this shows communities around the world have more in common than we think. R.I.P
I have great memories of coming home from school and watching DBZ on Toonami (which was part of Cartoon Network) back in the day.
Who else remembers being disappointed so many times when after Goku landed on Namek and defeated Recoome, and was about to fight Burter and Jeice, then the next day they played the first episode with Raditz landing on Earth! 😩
But then finally they dubbed the rest of the Namek/Freeza saga! And we got to at last see those great episodes, including Goku transforming into a Super Saiyan!
EPIC!!!
Omg it would be amazing if you reacted to DBZ!
Great tribute to Akira Toriyama Dash! I can’t believe you never watched DBZ, but you put it in perfect perspective. That even people who never watched the anime or read the manga know what it is and who the characters are. Toriyama’s work transcended the fan base, gaining worldwide popularity!
RIP Toriyama. Thank you for bringing so much joy to so many people!
Never really watched Dragon Ball Z, but Crono Trigger and Dragon Quest are legendary to me. His impact on the culture is felt around the globe, may he rest in peace
I'm from Germany and remember back in the early 2000s all of my classmates were into Dragonball. We drew the characters in art class (even if it didn't fit the subject) and at home. I think I got about 600 pages of drawings from that time. I never really became a manga fan but Dragonball and therefore Mr. Toriyama created so many memories I will cherish forever. May he rest in peace. 🙏🏻🕊️
I remember as a kid my dad and I had a really hard time finding things we had in common, he was my dad and I was his son of course, but most of the things I liked were children's shows and Barney is INCREDIBLY grating to anyone above 10.
When DragonBall and DragonBall Z were on though, it was something that really bridged a gap and helped us share wonderful moments. Every new episode we'd sit down together (him with a beer, me with a chocolate milk) and just enjoy the fights and the story.
Even today my dad and I still enjoy the Dragon Ball Z Abridged series. Those bonding moments are some of the most significant in my life and I doubt we'd be as close without Akira Toriyama.
Dude! So many fans out there saying a quick memory of growing up and sadness but moving on quickly or a long video that sounds like they are just using his passing for content. You on the other hand made such a heartfelt video in a few minutes. You're the most true fan non-fan ever. You have my undying respect.
I actually got into his work by seeing Chrono Trigger artwork in Nintendo Power. That game looked so amazing and I begged for it so much, my family bought me 2 copies by mistake just in case they forgot. It's still my favorite game of all time these many years later. Just a year or two after I saw someone with a figure of a kid with a tail and I said, tell me more. I was hooked and became one of the biggest fans. I literally have a personalized plate on my car that is DBZ related and love getting those occasional thumbs up or nods from strangers in the know. He will continue to inspire for many decades to come and not many get to say that after their gone. RIP Toriyama
Bleach Creator, Tite Kubo, Shares Tribute to Akira Toriyama -
"It would be strange to write a diary without mentioning this, so I'll just talk about something serious". "Personally, I don't feel any loneliness or pain. I'm not saying there aren't any at all, but there aren't as many as I thought. It's the death of someone I've read since I was a child, someone who works in the same magazine as me, and someone I'm deeply influenced by, so it feels different than when I deal with death in general, but that's why I feel like it doesn't exist."
"I've never really talked about this with anyone, but I've always believed that creating things means expanding your sensibilities and expanding your life. This is because I believe that as long as the work exists, the author is not dead. And I believe that being able to properly get used to this feeling is proof of the magnitude of the work's existence that remains in my heart."
Oda's thoughts on the sudden loss of Toriyama:
[From Comic Book Resources, translated official One Piece Reddit] forum Oda's statement into English.
It is too early.
The hole is too big. Sadness washes over me when I think that I will never see him again.
I have admired him so much since I was a child, so I remember the day he called me by name for the first time. On the way home from the day you used the word "friend" for me and Kishimoto, I remember being overjoyed with Kishimoto. I also remember the last conversation we had.
I was one of those who took the baton from the days when reading manga made you a fool, and he also created an era when both adults and children could enjoy reading manga. He showed us the dream that manga can go worldwide. It was like watching a hero going forward.
For not only mangakas but also creators in various industries, the excitement and emotion of the time of Dragon Ball serialization must have taken root in their childhood.His existence is like a big tree.
For the manga artists of our generation who stood on the same stage, Toriyama's works became more and more important to me as I got closer to the same stage. I even felt being scary. But I am just happy to see the aloof man himself again. Because we love him on a blood level.
With respect and gratitude for the creative world he has left behind. I pray for his soulful rest in peace.
May heaven be the joyous world he envisioned.
I used to be about 8 or 9 years old watching Dragon Ball Z late nights on Toonami on Cartoon Network. I haven't watched the show in over 20 years but I remember being up watching it every night.
It was weird for me to cry for a person that i'd never meet. But Dragon Ball was for me not only a tv show, it was an experience of life that i shared not only with my friends, but with my Dad and my Brother too.
Its part of my life, and gave me the courage to go on with my own comics.
Deeply mourn for Master Toriyama. It still hurts for me.
YTV in Canada started showing dragonball at like 9 or 10pm on Fridays and I instantly gravitated to the whole style. It was entertaining, engrossing, and unlike anything I’d seen before. YTV also had Sailor Moon at noon, which became pretty much all I did at lunch for three years.
Dragon ball cartoon or comic book.. its part of my life when i was a child.. all kids in my neighbourhood know DB.. im malaysian, so for 90s and 2k kids know dragon ball and it become part of our life when growing up..
I also never watched even a second of Dragon Ball till 2 years before when I was in my 30s so it's not my nostalgia speaking. I liked it very much the original, Z Kai (the original Z drags a lot sometimes) and even Super especially Zamasu arc. GT was crap to be honest but Z Kai from the beginning till the Cell arc is 10/10 anime for me.
I’m a massive fan of the Dragon Quest Series since a little kid. That was where I first recognized him. Yuji Horii, Akira Toriyama and Koichi Sugiyama were the Holy Trinity man…
DBZ was on Cartoon Network on Toonami. Will never forget coming home eagerly awaiting to see DBZ. Rest In Peace Akira Toriyama.
Im not a fan of the Dragon Ball franchise myself, but I do know my mom was a fan when she was a kid. RIP Akira Toriyama.
It opened the door to anime in the west. It was that important franchise that made it mainstream. Even if Toriyama wasn't aware of it, he was the Stan Lee of manga/anime. Also, even if you don't like Dragon Ball, all shounen manga are very influenced by it. If you like One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Fairy Tail, Black Cover or even One-Punch Man, they wouldn't exist without Dragon Ball.
The most important thing for many of us it was a charismatic and cool story to follow every day about awesome action and adventure that teached us since we were kids to believe in justice, trying to be a better person and always improve, even if you lose. Now we have thousands of similar shows, but it is because DB is their role model.
You should watch Dragon Ball Z Abridged. They structured it so well only a few things will go over your head because you haven’t watched the show but you can still understand what they’re talking about
Chrono Trigger was not only my introduction to Toriyama, but also is what got me into RPGs in the first place. I tried playing other RPGs like Final Fantasy 6 (or 3 as it was in the U.S.) but I couldn't understand what was going on. Chrono Trigger having the enemies on the map and not switching to a different screen for battles was easier to get into, plus the story was just a lot of fun.
He also worked on Tobal No.1 and Tobal 2, which are my favorite 3D fighters. I just loved how the characters and monsters looked.
I'm not a big anime guy but I've watched all the way through like 4 or 5 that I really enjoyed. If it weren't for Akira Toriyama and DBZ I probably wouldn't have gave anything else a chance.
RIP
When I was a child in elementary school if I could get home early enough I’d get two episodes a day of DBZ on Cartoon Network and it was unlike anything else I’d ever watched growing up more violent and more grey characters and long form story telling. RIP
I actually got into the DBZ lore by playing Dragon Ball Z Budokai, where you'd fight as each character through their story line. You'd even get to fight as the villains and learn their back stories as well. After I finished the game I started the watch the Anime, like you said I was absolutely stuck on DBZ in that period of my life lol. Thank you Mr. Toriyama for all the memories ❤ RIP
Love the shoutout to SSJ Jalen- RIP Akira Toriyama & thank you for making our childhood something beyond special 🙌🏽
his work lives on for ever
It was Dragon Ball Z on Cartoon Network in the early 2000's.
A couple years after I first saw the show, I was in a Borders store and I saw the manga section for the first time. I saw kid Goku and Shenlong on the spine art and I thought, "that is so cool". I had no idea the cartoon was based on a comic book. I bought the first few volumes and devoured them. Then I found the entire DB anime online and started from Episode 1.
I cracked open my Volume 3 last week after hearing about Toriyama's death, and re-read the first training arc. When Goku and Krillin put on their orange Gi's for the first time at the Budokai, I started to cry. So many treasured memories of this series.
RIP Akira Toriyama 🙏
you said you are really late and Toriyama diade march 1st or something but only was announced the 8th...
very lovely and respectful video, RIP Akira Toriyama
I felt watered eyes when I heard about the incident. DBZ really touch our hearts and stayed for a long time, even till now.
I watched Dragon Ball Z on Toonami,which was on Cartoon Network,while I was in middle school in the late 90’s/eatly 2000’s. And I remember Goku turning Super Saiyan for the first time! THAT was (and still is) a classic! I am a DBZ fan for life!
R.I.P Akira Toriyama 🙏
On behalf of the Dragon ball community… We appreciate this!🕊️❤️
RIP to a legend whose legacy molded many of our childhood. Dragon ball was massive in South America I heard a story of tens of thousands of people in Argentina and other countries in south America got together and did the pose for the spirit bomb to pay their respects to Toriyama
Rest in Peace Toriyama Sensei!
I’m shocked that you live in japan and haven’t touched the most iconic anime and manga ever
Swedish here, i had every volume of Dragonball i usually got them on release because dragon ball for us in sweden and scandiavia got the manga release in early 2000s when i was i kid so i remember going around doing chroes for my dad and small work like cutting grass in summer and shoveling snow in winter for neighbours to earn money to buy the volumes when they released, got i to thanks to my friends older brother who had alot of mangas but dragonball was the one to stick to my 8 year old mind at the time
we used to watch it after school on Toonami everyday, we were obsessed. That and Sailor Moon, and Gundam Wing
My first introduction to dragon ball z and most of the anime I watched as a kid was through toonami. I still remember the ads that played during that time.
Dragonball has been a staple of my life since I was born. My mom said she'd watch it with me when I was a baby, and i just stuck with it my whole life. The movies, the Manga, the anime, the card game, and the video games. Ive been there for it all. Akira will be missed. Dude had a huge impact on all of our lives
His passing came out of nowhere. Really influenced my artwork like a lot of people.
Rest In Peace Akira Toriyama.
😢 For me it was dragonball z and chrono trigger. He was truly someone who helped shape my childhood
As someone who watched Cartoons all the time as a kid, Dragonball Z came out of the field on Nicktoons and completely blasted me away. Just the artstyle and the violence and the absolute hype that builds up absolutely grabbed me as a kid. I got so invested early on and I was glad that the first episode of Dragon Ball Z that I watched, just so happened to be the first one, when Raditz showed up.
Man, I've never been a big Dragonball fan, but I did watch occasionally. When Toriyama passed away, I felt everyone's pain. It was so easy to empathize. Then it started hitting me. Without Toriyama, I likely wouldn't have gotten a ton of stories that I love. Fullmetal Alchemist, One Piece, Naruto, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, and other anime wouldn't have broken through to US. And the US got influenced with things like Teen Titans and Avatar. Toriyama moved mountains.
And yeah, everyone knows Kamehameha and Spirit Bomb (so much so that autocorrect capitalized them lol)
I was a military brat living in Japan in 1991 when I stumbled on to DBZ (channel 8, Wednesday nights, I think.) RIP Toriyama!!
In Australia we were introduced to Dragonball Z on Cheez TV, a show that ran several cartoon/kids programs early morning before school. I remember Dragonball would start at 8am, and I'd have to leave home to catch the bus to school at 820, meaning I'd have to tape the last 10mins and watch it when I returned home in the afternoon. Such great memories
Dbz like South Park are continuing sources of inspiration. This tribute shows me that this man had so much influence and reach for so many ppl.
Truly an impressive icon. Thank you dash. Rest easy toriyama san.
DBZ was one of the biggest contributors to anime going International and becoming as mainstream as it is today
Started with Dragon Ball. Living in Switzerland, the only way to watch anime in a language I understood was watching the german channel "PokitoTV". That doesn't exist anymore, unfortunately, but there are now multiple channels to watch it on TV.
RIP, Akira Toriyama 🖤
You’re missing out big time not watching DBZ
Rip Toriyama
Originally I watched dragonball in Mexico. Then dbz here in the states. I love it all. Toriyama is the reason I love anime
Dragon Ball started my love for anime. It was on early in the morning on Saturday. Before it ever got picked up by Cartoon Network. Akira Toriyama is definitely Legendary status. Not with just DB. But with Dragon Quest and Chrono Trigger!!! GOAT x 3!!! ❤️🔥😎🙏🏻R.I.P.
When I was like a teenager back in the day used to watch Dragon Ball Z on the weekends like on Saturday mornings and now I don't know what time comes on these days in it was on Channel ABC ❤❤❤
RIP Akira Toriyama your legacy will live on forever.
I watched it on cartoon network. I was born in 92 mind you. I remember seeing it in the morning and not watching it. It was the Name Saga. Later my brother would watch it, he's older. So naturally I watched too. We watched the movies. We watched the show re run the namek saga. We kept up with it all the way to the Majin Bui saga.
Hispanic & black Twitter was meltdown. It’s rare we get to share stories about someone’s passing; the silver lining is something like this is how everyone has been sharing their stories about how At inspired them to write their own stories or sharing memories about watching the show with siblings they no longer see. It’s been nice collectively sharing in this and even in his death he’s given us that
I have been watching Dragon Ball Z since my tweens. It was my break through anime like most people in the west. I would watch it every day after school on Cartoon Network on Toonanime.
I have all of them on an external drive and sometimes put on a playlist before bed
I originally started watching DBZ on Toonami (Cartoon Network) but later on I would actually pick up VHS tapes from random stores and that's how I watched some of the later episodes from the Majin Buu saga. But the games were what really did it for me - DBZ games also had some of the best music. I still use those tracks in my gaming clips.
RIP Toriyama
will never forget when i was 7 years old livings in the country side running home after school to not miss dbz new episodes xd
That was first introduced to his work through Toonami on Cartoon Network back in the early 2000s. Dragon Ball z was among the first anime that I ever watched.
Watching anime and reading manga is so exhilarating..
You were right on the money around the 1:00 mark. You could show damn near any single frame from an episode of Dragon Ball or DBZ/Kai and most casual anime viewers would instantly think "Dragon Ball", even if it was just a shot of the background with none of the main characters in view. The art style is so distinctive.
Might as well leave my condolences on here too. Thank you very much, mr. Toriyama, for the world and characters you created
Speaking of Kai, if you've never watched DBZ and would like to dip in, IMO Kai is a great way to start watching. They trimmed off almost all (if not 100%) of anime filler from the original anime series, which condenses the series a lot. And for the better - it's closer to the original manga run. Although there was one good filler episode in DBZ, and I think most fans who watched the original show will know which episode I mean :DDD
A man only dies if he is forgotten, so he will live forever in us. RIP legend
3 things every kid did when they watched DBZ (just like Dash will when he eventually watches it):
- Tried going ssj
- Tried doing a kamehameha wave (or any ki blast)
- Put your hands up when Goku needs help growing the spirit bomb
I'm not sure what actually got me into DBZ. I know my brother watched it on TV but I didn't watch it with him. 10 or so years later I started buying all the episodes on DVD.
I'd start with DBZ. That's where I started watching and I'd loved every second of it.
In Canada, our kids channel was YTV. Every day I got home from school, I would watch Pokemon (Season 1), Digimon (Season 1), then Dragon Ball Z (Season 1) back to back. Legendary stuff, looking back.
I don't know if any other Canadians my age remember this, and it was probably Americans too, but when the network got to the end of the Frieza saga, the whole series restarted at Episode 1 because the English dub hadn't even been made yet. One of the most crushing childhood moments for me; I spent months rewatching the first 100 or so episodes to get back to where I was.
RIP Akira Toriyama, thank you for the memories
I've been watching Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z since I was born. My dad grew up in Guatemala where there was a huge DBZ influence and he would always show us episodes that he downloaded off the internet or from DVDs he would get at the SwapMeet
Afterwards my brother and I would watch it on a Cartoon Network block called Toonami. I didn't actually fully watch the show until the release of DBZ Kai. Which is a more true version of the show.
DBZ is not one of fav anime, but it is amazing how it is stil popular even in younger generations.
My best childhood fan was already a huge DragonBall fan and by the time the anime series DragonBall Z were aired in Denmark were I’m from, he introduced me to the broader universe of DragonBall; so while I was watching DBZ and maybe not get all the context for the story right away, I got to catch up by reading the earlier volumes. I guess DragonBall was my main entrance to manga and anime along with Pokémon as that was coming out during my childhood as well as some early VHS releases of Silver Fang which I saw at an earlier age where I had NO business watching something so violent 😂 but with all that said, even though I might consider myself a casual fan, I too feel the great loss of Akira Toriyama, as he defined an entire generation of Westeners who were probably getting into anime partly because of him (I guess the other half was due to Sailor Moon, but I digress).
RIP Akira Toriyama and thank you for everything ❤
My first introduction to Toriyama's work was the Dragonball movie "Curse of the Blood Rubies." I got into DBZ not long after that. I don't remember what network, but it was on at 6-something in the morning. The pre-intro was epic... "STAND BY FOR DRAGONBALL Z... COMING NEXT!"
Also, when I got into the monthly Shonen Jump magazine, I discovered Sandland and a bit of Dr. Slump. Never played the non-DBZ games he worked on, though. But seriously, without him, anime and manga would not be what it is today (not to mention his influence on Western fiction). Rest In Peace, Toriyama-sama. Go teach that dinosaur to ride a ball.
Dude with your sensibilities you would love DBZ and it would make an awesome series for you to discover it while we watch
RIP Akira Toriyama. He was one year younger than myself. And I am so cool with watching and reading this type of incredible work. The amount of ole school CD's from Japan. or go to a ole school ComicCon. NYC in October 2024 will be hosting. How did I get into this? 1969 High School Debate conference at a hotel in NYC. 2day event. Holy Cow BATMAN. yep that is what I saw in one of the hall ways of the hotel. Comic characters from comics, movies and Sunday papers. Dude that blew my mind. I ended up hanging in the area of the ComicCon groups, and got invited to sit in the off the main floor Talks. It is so amazing on how the evolution of this event has grown from my first time being at one. ✌
This was nice, good video Dash, even though you are not a fan, you can appreciate Toriyama's work, and that is beatiful. Thank you so much. And I'm waiting for new south park videos hahaha
That is okay fan or not to recognize his work is enough.
My FIRST ever intro to his work was and will ALWAYS be CHRONO TRIGGER! DragonBallZ was 2nd & I used to be up @2am to watch it on some Canadian broadcast. Then moving to the US, Cartoon Networks TOONAMI, everyday @5pm!
In 1994, my friends popped in a subtitled DBZ VHS movie and since then, it became a weekly watch as a group (we had a Japanese video rental shop in downtown Honolulu so we rented every series). Eventually, it started coming up on Cartoon Network dubbed…. But I couldn’t watch it as I was so used to the original voice acting…. And to this day, I can’t watch DB/DBZ/DBGT/DBZS dubbed …. Anyway, RIP Toriyama Akira 🙏
My first anime was Dragon Ball. I saw it on TV at 6 o’clock Saturday morning. I do not remember what channel but it was in LA. I want to say it was on UPN but I really cannot remember. It was in the 90s.
In Canada I would come home from school and watch DBZ on YTV. All my friends would do that, then we would go out and play.
I got Started into DBZ when Goku was fighting again full power Frieza I watched on cartoon Network and after watching that fight I've loved it
I'm 46 and I've been hooked on DBZ since I was 19. RIP😢
Dbz was my introduction on ytv i think in canada, but his influence on other big anime, gotta appreciate all he’s influenced and done that ive enjoyed
No way you never seen 1 episode in the 90's
Oh you have seen dragonball... Its forgiven.
Even some diehards western dbz fans never watched DB, and that suprises me.
I got into Dragon Ball through DBZ. My first time was watching on Cartoon Network on the Toonami block. It was also the Ocean dub when I started.
I liked draon ball z, and dragon ball my friend in school got me into dragon ball. Recently I have been into My hero academia.
In 10-15 years literally at least 99% of the old school are gonna be gone.
We’re headed to a new world.
I got into Dragon Ball with the original Dragon Ball and of cause Dragon Ball Z. They were shown on the public service channel in my country, but they seemed very inconsistent and would repeat a lot. I remember recording the Frieza battle on VHS. Sadly I don't have a working VCR anymore... F.
All of Dragon Ball has been a huge part of my life and I'm really sad to see such a legendary man leave. May he rest in peace.
