Rest in peace Goat. Thank you for everything you did for me. EDIT: So many amazing stories, its amazing to see how AT touched so many people, forever loved ALSO sorry if my audio is a bit choppy, i wasnt talking too loud so it was getting caught in the noise gate.
I'm at lost right now I don't even know what to say this was the worst way to wake this morning dragon ball ball changed my life completely it literally made want to become a better person everyday it kept me going in dark times I'm really devastated we lost such an amazing creator please rest peacefully akira Toriyama
My favorite moment from the entire Dragon Ball franchise was when goku went super saiyan 3 against Fat Buu. When I tell I was motivated to work out after watching that moment. Rest In Paradise to one of the GOATS, he was an important part of our childhoods 🙏🏾🐐🕊
To people confused about their grief. The passing of someone like Toriyama is a unique kind of grief. 99% of us never met him and yet he changed our lives. I’ve already seen people saying don’t be sad Dragon ball will keep going. But it’s not the franchise itself that changes our lives it’s the vision of this one man. It will be hard for anyone outside the fandom to understand what it’s like but don’t be afraid to grieve, don’t think you shouldn’t because you didn’t know him. Dragon ball helped me have so many experiences and meet people and have hype community reactions but it was also there in moments with just me. Those are the moments coming to mind right now, quiet moments alone with this series. For me is was watching Goku go super Saiyan 3 before all my sport matches to hype me up. And it was playing kakarot after a bad breakup, small moments that no one will know about that’s what’s hitting me the hardest. This kind of grief also gives us a community to help each other out through this process, if you’re a new or old dragon ball fan we are all feeling the same thing and we can all be there for each other through this ❤️
It is😭 and the DBS manga was getting pretty good too. I really hope someone could finish it, but maybe it would be best unfinished cause it is his work, but I was getting so excited for the new chapters lately
For those who is asking what is Acute Subdural Hematoma, basically it is a servre head injury that rupture a blood vessel within his head, causing suffocation to the brain
@@jaydeesc2812i have seen IT live i dont know if the Person knows what is going on but IT was very terrifying and sad you cant do anything he did earn a very old age Made the lives of people so much better.😢
So i am German and my memories with Dragonball are coming home from the Kindergarten and later School was excitement to watch Dragonball like Goku is my Hero and always will be Toriyama created with Dragonball soemthing that helped me growing up as a Person and influenced my Childhood and even my adulthood so much i cant even express how much. All i can say is Thank you Toriyama Sensei for making my Childhood so special and i will always love dragonball. R.I.P Legend until we meet in the otherlife
Man, my mom died when I was 8 as well. I don’t have a good relationship with my dad and dragonball is a place where I could feel I could by myself. We have so much in common, it tells you that the world is small. RIP Toriyama. (I also play yu-gi-oh, you’re basically the older version of me I feel like)
Akira Toriyama was a fucking legend. His stories touched millions, myself included. I was first introduced to the series by playing battle of Z I think it was on the 360 and the rest was history. His work introduced me to a whole new medium of entertainment and I don’t think I can ever recapture the joy I get from watching something dragon ball related. I met my best friend today due to our shared interest in dragon ball and I would give my left arm in a heartbeat for that guy. Dragon ball as a franchise shows that works of fiction go beyond just the words on the paper and change the lives of millions. An inspiration, A legend, An Icon. His name was Akira Toriyama. Rest in peace.
I mean all I can really think to say is Rest In Peace, Akira Toriyama. He created one of the most impactful mangas that inspired so many others, not just writers, but people in general. If not for his creativity, my childhood wouldn’t have been as good as it was. I met so many great people through Dragon Ball, and to this day many of them are close friends. It’s so shocking he was only 68, too. Inspired generation of children to try their best to shoot Kamehamehas and trying to go Super Saiyan. Rest well, Mr. Toriyama. You will be missed. My regards to his friends and family. ❤
Celebrity deaths never really impact me, But dragon ball was my whole childhood I played the games, read the mangas, and of course watched the anime Akira brought me so much joy when I felt like my world was falling apart may he rest in peace
dfree your a real one for sharing that personal story. for me, dragonball like many was the gateway to anime. my mom didnt let me watch tv on school days cause i was a shitty student but i begged her to let me watch dbz on toonami after school. the overall message of dragonball in my opinion is that you can always break your limits, no matter what you are doing in life. whether it be a sport or even what you do for work, if you are dedicated enough you can always improve. that message still lives on in me today in the way i live. the dragonball franchise will always be the GOAT anime to me. the influence Mr Toriyama had in not just anime but also gaming is so big you cant even put it into words. rest in Peace Mr. Toriyama
Now Dragon Balls creator will join the creator of Berserk, Golgo 13 and Yugioh amongst the other Legends....sad to see him go, but he's in great hands.
Your story is incredibly poignant and really hits home to my own experiences growing up. Dragon ball to me wasn't just a show, but a medium for me to feel comfortable and escape from the difficulties of reality. I remember waking up during cold winter mornings when the sky was still dark and rushing to wake up my siblings so we can find out what adventures goku was up to, all without a single worry about the world. Such simple times, such beautiful simple times I wish I could relive for the first time again. I never was a very social kid in school, I was very shy, awkward, and just a general geek, so fitting in was something I struggled with for some time. Dragon ball helped find others who were like me and helped me make my very first friendships, some of which I cherish to this day. Even now as an adult where I have so many more responsibilities and stress in my life, I still look back on this series and the motivational lessons taught from time to time to help find the drive to continue to try my best, as corny as that may sound. If not for this series, my life would be very different than it is now and I can't imagine it any other way. Thank you for the memories and inspiration you've given not just myself, but millions of others through your work, Toriyama. It was genuinely an adventure like no other and I wouldn't trade a moment of it. Goodbye, my friend.
My earliest memory of dragon ball was staying up late to watch toonami when I was a kid. I tuned into trunks' first appearance and I remember thinking "this is the coolest character ever", and the show was so damn cool and so different from anything I had seen prior. From that I got into the rest of the show, all the games, everything all meant so much to me then and even more to me now. Toriyama is a legend who touched the lives of countless people, he helped shape a huge part pop culture and is a large reason why anime and japanese media is so huge in the west now. RIP to the greatest to ever do it
I'm 18 years old, and for the past 3 years I have never even cried a single tear, but this news... it devastated me.. I cried like my own family died. I used to come back from school, running to the TV to watch Dragon Ball. It helped me endure all the bullying and trauma... just watching Goku's light-hearted smile and the engaging fights gave me courage to go on... I think the one that cried was the little kid in me, that part of me that is so fucking grateful for the help he gave, not only to me, but an entire community. Rest in Power, Toriyama-sensei...
His influence on the world is incalculable So many people flat out wouldn't know each other, entire childhoods and industries were made off of his work RIP To the Greatest to Ever Do it. Thank you for everything Akira Toriyama.
GT was my first introduction to Dragon Ball. At first, I didn’t understand it, since I was just a little kid. All I saw was a little kid was getting beat down by some adult with white hair (Goku vs Baby Vegeta), and I knew that an adult shouldn’t do that. Well, as I grew older, I understood the context and grew to absolutely love this series, as well as most of the other anime that were inspired by Dragon Ball. Man, this still doesn’t feel real…
Dbgt had the most beautiful ending too along with the most beautiful song in dragon ball franchise history "Hold my hand" Dragon ball, dbz, and dbgt was my childhood. It's like Goku died with Akira when he passed away...it's not the same anymore man 💔
Dragon Ball was literally a huge part of my childhood. Goku was a big motivating factor that helped me push through my trials. Hearing Akira Goatiyama's passing is a punch to the gut. Rest easy you magnificent bastard
I may have hated on him for coming up with Super, but he still created the legendary show that was my childhood Dragonball was part of my life since i was 4, coming up with Super won't make me forget that, it was the reason both my mind and body are healthier. He was an amazing artist, despite him joking about being lazy all the times. A lot of the plot in the manga happened because he kept trying to find ways to save on linework, just for his art to become more and more detailed every arc. Drawing Dragon Ball in middle school was the start of my decision in becoming an art student in college, and Its also the reason i work out to stay healthy. If it wasn't for him, I would probably never grew an interest for drawing and art as a whole. He, and his work, introduced me to this field; it saved me from a rough place back in middle school... now I've built my whole life around studio arts because of him. Even if i don't make it in the field with how brutal the industry is, i don't regret my choice. I learned so many wonderful things in college, and finally found a direction for the future. This man literally changed my life with his one work. I feel devastated, i slandered him so much for making Super, but I wouldn't be here if my younger self didn't just randomly decided to sketch Goku that one day in middle school. I know know how to make art in multiple mediums, from painting to sculpting. Even if i don't make it in the field i don't regret learning all these wonderful things. Rest in peace king, and thank you for everything. Akira Toriyama, you were the champion. You were number one.
The tears won’t stop flooding out. The hardest death I’ve ever experienced. Rip to the greatest to ever do it. Changed the lives of so many. Thank you, Akira Toriyama.
I'm 46 so my most vivid memory is the first time I saw the first episode OG Dragon Ball. I saw all the episodes multiple time and I even recorded the episodes on VHS and because I had 2 VHS devices I even did a Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z "Personal Cut"... My son is 12 and when he will wake up today I will give him this new... He will be very sad as Dragon Ball is also a big part of his life. We have so many things that serves as tools of bonding. Dragon Ball is among the most important ones...
This is absolutely heartbreaking. I'm 28 years old, and some of my earliest memories were of watching Dragon Ball Z on Toonami with my cousins. Even though I'm an adult, I still beg my sister to play Dragon Ball Z games with me. DBZ had such an incredible impact, and brought a special piece of Japanese culture to the west. To say that it inspired a generation, is a tragic understatement. Dragon Ball Z represented perseverance, Inner Strength, and motivation. Qualities that only make us better people. He left an incredible legacy behind, and he'll never be forgotten.
Rest in peace to the goat man, he carried a lot of our childhoods. This one really hurts as Dragon Ball carried me through a lot of my life, I can’t thank him enough for everything he’s not only done for me but people worldwide. There will never be another like him and I hope he rests easy, he deserves after creating and carrying some many childhoods
I still remember the first dbz episode i watch was at my cousin house it was android 17 vs piccolo an 7 year old me fell in love ever since then like this show has been my whole childhood my teenager self and adulthood. DBZ will live forever and so will Akira
Bro in my neighborhood growing up, we had one channel to watch after punishment and it wasn’t the news, it was DBZ When that shit came on, you was there and nothin else mattered. Rest in Power OG, Otherworld treatin you like the King you are 💪🏾
I always ran home at the end of school just to not miss the latest dragon ball episode. I Even started to draw Dragon Ball just to cover My notebooks in My Childhood. Made me feel powerful, strong, like I was able to fly high and power up my self to get through difficult times and I was able to make the next day inspired by the greatest work the legend, Akira Toriyama, did. Thank You Master, legend. Rest in peace. 🙏
Man... This man impacted my life so much with the Dragon Ball franchise. I started watching Dragon Ball Z in the summer of 1996. On one Saturday morning after watching TMNT and other cartoons. My Brother and I came across watching Vegeta vs Zarbon during the Frieza saga. We were so amazed at the fight, we had to watch more. I've fallen in love with Dragon Ball Z since then. I would go to the library after school to watch Dragon Ball, DBZ, even GT. He's the reason why I wanted to become an artist, people ask me what I wanted to do and I said I wanted to be the next Akira Toriyama, no joke. I watched Dragon Ball in so many languages before English. That how much of a fan I am. So many moments that man has given us. I got nothing but love and respect for him. It's a sad time for this man to be gone. My condolences to his family and friends. This man's legacy will go on. Again, thank you Akira Toriyama, God bless.
It's hard to believe that the same man who created so many things that molded my childhood is gone now. I never thought I'd wake up, scroll on twitter, and the first thing I see is news about my childhood hero passing. His works was the foundation of my childhood, not to mention Dragonball reached many people that made them try out anime. the impact his works have done is beyond amazing. he is a legend, and a hero to many. Rest in Peace, Akira Toriyama. Your works always inspire me.
Dragon Ball Z was my introduction to anime when I was in 1st grade… I remember instantly falling in love with it, always rushing home from school at 2pm, to watch the 3-4pm power hour of DBZ… Then went on to watch and read his other works, loving all of them. It is because of him that I love manga and anime as much as I do, his work helped shape me into who I am… and I’m sure this could be said for millions of people across the world… He was far more than a normal legend… thank you for all the incredible memories, rest in peace, Toriyama-San…
Since i was 4 I watched Dragon ball. Im 28. When I was a kid i moved a lot, had no friends, was depressed, my parents always fought etc., but I always had Dragon Ball. I trained in martial arts, got into anime and fantasy and sci fi, got into creative endeavors and even some philosophyies i hold to this day were all an influence that he had a major part in and for many people from multiple generations around the world and he holds a lot of responsibility for why anime and japanese media and culture is appreciated world wide. Shonen Jump and shueisha became the undisputed king of manga because of him. He's one of a kind.
I had the worst childhood possible and the only thing I remember making me happy was Dragon Ball. So this News literally stripped apart a part of my childhood and probably the only good thing that made me happy. It’s not just a person dying. We talking about the most influential Mangaka and creator of the most influential Anime and yet words can’t describe how hard this news hit. Rest Easy Akira Toriyama…. We may see you in the Otherworld. Thank you for Everything.
Hiya Donnie. Long time no see. Glad that you're still around broski. My first exposure to Dragon Ball was on the korean channel 53 in the early 90's way before Toonami or WB brought it over to the states. I was already a fan of anime but seeing the scrappy little monkey boy flying around on a cloud looking for a good fight left an imprint. I was enamored and spread the gospel any way I could. When it progressed to DBZ , The floodgates were opened. I bought the games on the super famicom, the ova movies bootleg with no subs, the super battle collection action figures from Bandai...I was a branch on the tree of all things DBZ. And eventually you meet others who like and love the same things. Yet here we are. Mourning the loss of one of the Giants of both manga & anime. Word to Shenron...R.I.P. Toriyama. Thanks a million for making our childhood richer.
Dragon ball got me through so much. In foster care the only time I ever got to watch it was when I had weekend visits with my GMA. I remember playing outside for hours to come back in to a homemade meal, a tall glass of soda, and the buu arc was playing. This entire series got me through so much depression and saved me. Thank you Mr. Toriyama, rest easy and eat lots of food with everyone in DB as you should be.
I got into dragon ball from my dad, he was always deployed and one time when I was 4 or 5 a he came home from Japan and he had gotten me the entire OG dragon ball. That started my love of anime and manga. Later on In middle school I didn’t have a lot of friends, moving around so much makes it kinda pointless, but I started talking with my soon to be lifelong friend over Dragon ball Z, at the time Ive never watched it but he lent me his DVD boxsets and my little brother and I watched all of DBZ after school, bonding over the story and losing our minds over the fights. Thank you Akira Toriyama for the memories and the friendships your creations brought to my life and the ones around me.
I remember when I was a kid, my most vivid memory is that there would be a dragon ball z marathon on direct TV every weekend. It went from the saiyan saga all the way to the end of the namek saga, it would play like this over the course of the weekend and would repeat every few weeks. I fell in love with it day one and have loved it ever since, going on to watch the cell saga and buu saga a few years later. He was such an influential person, on me and on everybody. RIP Akira Toriyama, you will be missed and your works will never be forgotten
My dad and cousin were the ones who got me into dragon ball with bojack unbound in 2017 so once they both passed away dragon ball helped me get through those hard times
He is the real legend of anime and creation. We all must remember the great times and impacts he had for us. Let us continue dragon ball in his honor. Stick together friends, for him ❤❤
Toriyama was the goat. Dragon ball changed my life man, I remember my first time seeing dragon ball was a clip on youtube of goku saying that gohan and vegeta were dead, so I looked up their death scenes not knowing any better, which led to me watching Majin Vegeta giving buu the smackdown, and after that I was in love. I binged all of og db, dbz, kai, gt, super and all the movies. Rest in peace toriyama, thank you for changing our lives
He will be dearly missed. I’m 22 and I remember coming home from school and waiting for DBZ Kai to come on thursdays at 8 back when I was a kid. My parents let me sit in the living room and watch in on our big TV. It really captivated me, and shaped my interest and love for anime and manga. And it helped me through some tough times in my life. Akira Toriyama you will be missed dearly, and your impact on my life and the lives of many other will never be forgotten.
Man, stay strong bro. You are gonna be okay and we are all gonna get through it. I'm' sorry your life has been hard, but you've built a community and you have so much heart. Keep pushing forward and let's all share and celebrate DB and everything we love. Hope you stay well, bro.
I don't know what it was about dragon ball, but something just clicked with me. I loved dragon ball and still do to this day, I remember fondly when I had my DS and played Dragon Ball Z Super Sonic Warriors 2, it was my favorite game on the DS, and Akira gave us so much more. I hope he's in a better place. He will never be forgotten.
a man who has welded a generation through his passion of creating a story of adventure, heart-pounding action, monumental moments of transformations, iconic music, a true message of friendship, overcoming one’s limits showing that nothing is impossible and single handily making his young little saiyan boy into the most iconic and inspiring character in all of fiction (Son Goku) Your legacy is one that shall never be forgotten and your ambition that started your series will continue through the minds and hearts of the people you’ve bestowed your series to in order to continue telling the tale of the world that contains the seven mystical dragon balls. Your work has affected the lives of millions upon millions of childhood’s and your series continues to inspire the newer generation. Dragon Ball is something special that shall always be cherished. Rest In Heaven Peacefully Akira Toryiama Sensei.
Rest in peace, Akira Toriyama. i really cant believe it, i dont even know how to feel right now. His world and creations made me into the artist i am today. Dbz has been such a huge inspiration in my life. I remember when my older brothers introduced me to it back in the late 2000s when i was in elementary. We would gather around our tiny tv on the floor and would wait for toonami to come on. And then afterwards i would just sit and draw so much dbz for hours and it became a passion of mine to one day create my own world and characters just like dbz. Thank you so much Akira Toriyama,for creating some of the most memorable parts of my life.
My friendships, moments, afternoons, school, and everything were bonded together by Dragon Ball. It was the thing that started a conversation and friendships, and It was my life , my parents were never there for me, nor my younger sisters, but growing up in México, I would do my homework watching for the 100th time the Cell Saga or Buu Saga, wish to meet the creator and of course pretend I was part of that universe, He will forever live in our hearts, minds and THE HUGE LEGACY he has created. Thank you, Sir.... for the amazing world you created..... R.I.P
Dragon ball was easily my escape because i grew up with a abusive dad and it helped me get through it. Absolutely wild that toryiyama is gone he helped me throughout that hard time....
Such a legend in many of us, he will forever remain in our hearts as he has inspired millions upon millions. His work in manga and anime has truly made my childhood like many others, and I am happy to see and hear about others' experience with Akira Toriyama being apart of their lives as he has mine. This man will forever remain a legend and continue to inspire millions even after his passing. Rest in peace Legend Akira Toriyama the GOAT. As we pay tribute, let us all continue to be happy and loving the content and appreciation of Akira Toriyama's existence and what he has done to inspire us all. May he live on in all of us as he impacted many of our childhoods.
Yo Free from the videos ive seen i can tell youre a good father so whatever youve been thru its all came together and created a good solid man. Keep your head high brother
Np g sometimes kind words dont mean much but i mean it when i say i can tell you've got a great soul. Keep up the good work brudda we are all here for you! we a family 🧡
I remember being 6 or 7 and going on a flight to Mexico with my mom to see family. My cousin at the time showed a show I had never seen before. of dragon ball. I thought it was the coolest shit I had ever seen before. When I flew back to the states, I couldn’t find it for the life of me until I was 11 or 12. Watching dbz on toonami every day after school was peak for me until it ended. Later when I was 17, I decided to rewatch it again and I found a new love for it all over again. db shaped my childhood. Toriyama will forever live in all of our hearts. Rest in peace goat 💔
I'm 25 years old and Dragon Ball has been so much more to me than simply a show. Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Trunks, Piccolo, so many characters in Dragon Ball were more than characters in a show for me. They were role models. They pushed me to be the best that i can be and continue to do so. I have an interesting and very wonderful relationship with Dragon Ball. My dad found Dragon Ball when he was in high school (yeah my dad is young lol he's 47 now) and insantly became a fan and when i was born ever since i could remember Dragon Ball was a part of my life. It was a way that i could bond with my dad. I felt like my dad was Goku and I was Gohan. My cousins all loved Dragon Ball too and we would always fight each other as kids as different Dragon Ball characters. I'm honestly just rambling right now with what im saying and could say so much more about what Dragon Ball means to me and others. D-Free I'm glad that Dragon Ball was able to get you through tough periods in your life man and I'm glad that it has brought so many people together. This is a heartbreaking day but we'll get through this brothers and honor Akira Toriyama by loving his creation for many years to come.
Akira Toriyama was ever one's favorite and he will NEVER BE FORGOT BY US, AND WE WILL LEAD THE DRAGONBALL FRANCHISE AS A COMUNITY INTO THE NEW GENARATION AND MAKE HIS LEGACY NEVER FORGOT... Akira Toriyama, may you Rest In Peace and you will never be forgotten -Temu Cenat/Anonymous User
My favorite memory of Dragon Ball is watching Gohan turn super saiyan 2 for the first time, i still get goosebumps from it to this day. I also have so many memories of playing Budokai Tenkaichi 3 with my brothers and friends. this hurts me so much i owe so much to that man, if only he knew the amount of love and respect everyone in this world had for him. As Oda said, I hope heaven is a beautiful as he drew it.
Broken childhood. 1998. 5 years old. Frieza saga overnight marathon. Changed my life. Helped me find inner strength. People places and things have always failed me, but the world of Dragon Ball never left me in all its wonderous over the top glory. Rip Toriyama Sensei. Love Coty.
My favorite memory was when I would watch Dragonball with my brother and it made me feel like life was what you made it, soon after I would watch it more as a teen and now as an adult it impacted my life with my relationship with my brother. Toriyamas work will always forever be with us.
The first time I got into Dragon Ball was when the Resurrection of Frieza movie came out one DVD. I had never seen Dragon Ball beforehand and my uncle recommended me to get the movie. From that momemt my life literally changed forever, and I couldn't of been more happy. Although I wasn't there from the start, the impact that master Akira Toriyama has had on my life puts a smile on my face. May he rest in peace.
Dragon Ball gave us an escape to a world that we all wanted to be a part of and looked forward to growing up, it’s impacted our lives in our own ways from kids and even until now as adults, so many great memories, Toriyama’s art, story telling and work will be missed his legacy will live on forever RIP
I woke up to this noise. I've never cried over a celebrity death, but this man has formed my childhood with my absolute favorite anime. It's so unreal that he just passed so suddenly, and without much of a word before. May he rest in peace, and may his family mourn.
I got into Dragon Ball by watching Dragon Ball Kai when it aired on 4Kids as a kid. Akira Toriyama works mean a lot to me and even plays a role in identity. This heartbreaking and shocking after learning about this tragic incident. Thank you for everything Toriyama! Dragon Ball served as a catalyst and played a big role in defining people's childhood and lives. You're perpetual legacy, impact, inspiration, and influence that you bestowed and contributed to reality, society, and the world will never be forgotten. Fly High Toriyama Sensei.
Dragon ball has seen me through some of the toughest in my life I remember seeing it for the first time on toonami when I was little with my brother we watched both z and super waiting for every new episode we had arguments about who was stronger goku or vegeta I remember buying a bundle of old dragon ball movies from Walmart and binged it the moment we got back home and such an amazing time I’m just so heart broken to see the news :(
Rip Toriyama you've brought me so much joy throughout my lifetime and I'm only 17 I remember I used to struggle going to school because of the struggles I had with the students and teachers but I remember my father and mother always telling me look at goku do you think he would give up or would he keep pushing just because of how much they knew I loved the anime and that really carried me through school and life and made me the strong person I am today thank you toriyama we love you dearly and your legacy will not die rest in peace ❤️
I remember working in a comic bookstore in the 90's when I first heard of Dragonball. started watching from there on out. I love all of it and I take inspiration from quotes and story lines that helped me throughout the years! I'm saddened to hear this news! I hope the community as a whole can come together and appreciate the wonderful piece of history he has left behind for us all! be well!
I just got done binge watching the DBZ kai series last year. The best moment was watching Super Saiyan Goku brawling it out with Frieza. While I didn't grow up watching his work, I understand just how influential it was for ALOT of people. Rest in Peace, Akira. 🙏
I’m sorry your mother made the decision she made and I hope you are healing well. This is tough for all of us but we will bounce back stronger as a community. He brought us together and we need to stay with each other
It’s heartbreaking to see so many things left unfinished. So many projects and plans that we’ll never get to see in their true light. With Toriyama gone it just feels like there is a hole that can’t be filled. The impact he had on so much media was incredible and it’s hard to imagine that he’d leave so abruptly.
My first experience was watching Goku and Krillin train under Master Roshi back in og ball when I was like 4 or 5 that stretch of episodes locked me in for life. This was the Wild Wild West days of UA-cam back mfs were uploading and archiving whole seasons of anime in 720p. Akira Toriyama's works helped me getting through so tuff times and helped my grow into the person I am today. May he rest happily in peace💔🙏🕊️
My older brother got me into DBZ. I loved it. My brother had some of VHS of history of trunks, cooler's revenge, and the tree of might, etc. My brother went to chicago and he got me an autograph of Kid Gohan's voice actor. I still have it and I cherish it every day. As I got older I watched all the fights on UA-cam, watched the AMVs (lol), and started my own little collection. I even got my newborn a Vegeta Armor Onesie.. RIP Toryiama. 🙏
Damn, waking up in the morning only to find this.. Earliest memory is when in Lithuania, there was a channel that would always show 2 Dragon ball Z episodes, right after school, watching it from 7-8 years old, Toriyama was as start of my anime series, going to naruto, bleach and others. Now 23 years old, played all the games, watched all fan animations, all episodes, watching old fights on repeat. Started making DBZ AMV at 13y old, started to try drawing, first fanart was Goku. Just damn, you never expect these days to come...
The author who created transformations, the author who made the most iconic Anime scene of all. I don’t care what y’all say but do you. THANK YOU SO MUCH AKIRA TORIYAMA edited: Anime* fixed the error
Dude... This hurts man... I remember getting into Dragon Ball through my Uncle. We would watch up through Frieza Saga and honestly? That's probably the reason I'm a Dragon Ball fan to this day... All i can say is Rest In Peace Akira Toriyama... Legendary Saiyan, Earthling, Namekian, Author, Artist, and Man.
I really appreciate Akira as a person for making are childhoods as great as they were and we enjoyed it. Me and my brothers grew up on dragon ball z and we loved it, we still do to this day and its hard to let this sink in, We'll never forget him for his amazing work he put his heart into.❤
Im 26. I lived in dominican Republic with my grandma back around when i was in pre-k. I used to be super afraid of the dark. My grandma would always let me stay up late to watch the two episodes of dragonball that they would show every night as long as i turned off all the lights before bed. When it would finish id turn off the light and the tv and sprint to bed. Id do this every night despite being terrified of the dark because i loved dragon ball. My grandma has also passed on as well and idk im just so grateful to him for making dragon ball. Made my childhood so fun.
I am saddened with the passing, but I am thankful for his existence and the fact that he dedicated his life to bringing us new stories, even though we didn't always deserve it, he still made it his life's work. He changed the world with his art. We will forever be in his debt. Rest In Peace 🕊️
Man, I remember the first time I was introduced Dragonball z or anime in general. I was at my cousin’s house and he was watching goku vs vegeta from the saiyan saga. I remember just standing there watching the whole thing. It really hurts to know that the person whose story introduced me to the world of anime is gone. Rest in peace Akira Toriyama and thank you for the good memories.
Rest in peace Akira Toriyama. Thank you for bringing me a lot of joy and happiness growing up. Your creations helped me to keep going through rough times, still do, and forever will. Thank you for all the wonderful memories, thank you for all the beautiful moments and funny moments. You’ve captivated entire generations with your amazing work and it will forever be cherished with us. Thank you, rest in peace and fire a Kamehameha for us on King Kai’s world. 💔🙏🏼🕊️
I remember when I was little me and my cousins would run home to my grandmas to watch dragon ball every day we would recreate the fights our selves and this this just hits hard like hella hard. The world of anime will miss this man none of this would be possible without him. May this legend rest in peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Rest in peace Goat. Thank you for everything you did for me.
EDIT: So many amazing stories, its amazing to see how AT touched so many people, forever loved
ALSO sorry if my audio is a bit choppy, i wasnt talking too loud so it was getting caught in the noise gate.
"Vegeta, thanks."
"For what? I should be thanking you, Kakarot."
"Nah, what do you mean? I loved every minute."
"Goodbye my friend."
I'm at lost right now I don't even know what to say this was the worst way to wake this morning dragon ball ball changed my life completely it literally made want to become a better person everyday it kept me going in dark times I'm really devastated we lost such an amazing creator please rest peacefully akira Toriyama
Worst year evee
My favorite moment from the entire Dragon Ball franchise was when goku went super saiyan 3 against Fat Buu. When I tell I was motivated to work out after watching that moment. Rest In Paradise to one of the GOATS, he was an important part of our childhoods 🙏🏾🐐🕊
He left a beautiful mark.
He’s just training with King Kai, rest easy goat.
Yeah but there are no dragon balls this time🙁
Ok this comment cheered me up.
@@M._mkid sorry to dampen it
In Other world Right now
him and king kai are telling jokes back and forth and goku is chilling up there with them
This sucks, I'm literally in tears right now...
I was too bro. Like I’m in shock still right now
Same
I'm crying until now R.I.P 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
@xianlingR34 yeah akira is the best creator "until we meet again" - the voice at the start and the end of any db show
To people confused about their grief. The passing of someone like Toriyama is a unique kind of grief. 99% of us never met him and yet he changed our lives. I’ve already seen people saying don’t be sad Dragon ball will keep going. But it’s not the franchise itself that changes our lives it’s the vision of this one man. It will be hard for anyone outside the fandom to understand what it’s like but don’t be afraid to grieve, don’t think you shouldn’t because you didn’t know him. Dragon ball helped me have so many experiences and meet people and have hype community reactions but it was also there in moments with just me. Those are the moments coming to mind right now, quiet moments alone with this series. For me is was watching Goku go super Saiyan 3 before all my sport matches to hype me up. And it was playing kakarot after a bad breakup, small moments that no one will know about that’s what’s hitting me the hardest. This kind of grief also gives us a community to help each other out through this process, if you’re a new or old dragon ball fan we are all feeling the same thing and we can all be there for each other through this ❤️
This is a devastating loss to the entire anime and manga community 😞
It is😭 and the DBS manga was getting pretty good too. I really hope someone could finish it, but maybe it would be best unfinished cause it is his work, but I was getting so excited for the new chapters lately
For those who is asking what is Acute Subdural Hematoma, basically it is a servre head injury that rupture a blood vessel within his head, causing suffocation to the brain
heartbreaking
What a terrible, no doubt painful way to die... At the very least he is no longer suffering.
Covid shot the reason?
@@jaydeesc2812i have seen IT live i dont know if the Person knows what is going on but IT was very terrifying and sad you cant do anything he did earn a very old age Made the lives of people so much better.😢
So i am German and my memories with Dragonball are coming home from the Kindergarten and later School was excitement to watch Dragonball like Goku is my Hero and always will be Toriyama created with Dragonball soemthing that helped me growing up as a Person and influenced my Childhood and even my adulthood so much i cant even express how much.
All i can say is Thank you Toriyama Sensei for making my Childhood so special and i will always love dragonball.
R.I.P Legend until we meet in the otherlife
Just seen this on insta. So sad man he made my childhood 😢
When I saw the notification I thought it was a joke
I remember how Jiren vs Goku broke the internet. This news is devastating for millions, and is breaking our heart right now.
Man, my mom died when I was 8 as well. I don’t have a good relationship with my dad and dragonball is a place where I could feel I could by myself. We have so much in common, it tells you that the world is small. RIP Toriyama. (I also play yu-gi-oh, you’re basically the older version of me I feel like)
Can relate a lot. You’re not alone.
Takahashi just a few years ago too.
Akira Toriyama was a fucking legend. His stories touched millions, myself included. I was first introduced to the series by playing battle of Z I think it was on the 360 and the rest was history. His work introduced me to a whole new medium of entertainment and I don’t think I can ever recapture the joy I get from watching something dragon ball related. I met my best friend today due to our shared interest in dragon ball and I would give my left arm in a heartbeat for that guy. Dragon ball as a franchise shows that works of fiction go beyond just the words on the paper and change the lives of millions. An inspiration, A legend, An Icon. His name was Akira Toriyama. Rest in peace.
I mean all I can really think to say is Rest In Peace, Akira Toriyama.
He created one of the most impactful mangas that inspired so many others, not just writers, but people in general.
If not for his creativity, my childhood wouldn’t have been as good as it was.
I met so many great people through Dragon Ball, and to this day many of them are close friends. It’s so shocking he was only 68, too.
Inspired generation of children to try their best to shoot Kamehamehas and trying to go Super Saiyan.
Rest well, Mr. Toriyama. You will be missed. My regards to his friends and family. ❤
Celebrity deaths never really impact me, But dragon ball was my whole childhood I played the games, read the mangas, and of course watched the anime Akira brought me so much joy when I felt like my world was falling apart may he rest in peace
dfree your a real one for sharing that personal story.
for me, dragonball like many was the gateway to anime. my mom didnt let me watch tv on school days cause i was a shitty student but i begged her to let me watch dbz on toonami after school. the overall message of dragonball in my opinion is that you can always break your limits, no matter what you are doing in life. whether it be a sport or even what you do for work, if you are dedicated enough you can always improve. that message still lives on in me today in the way i live. the dragonball franchise will always be the GOAT anime to me. the influence Mr Toriyama had in not just anime but also gaming is so big you cant even put it into words.
rest in Peace Mr. Toriyama
Now Dragon Balls creator will join the creator of Berserk, Golgo 13 and Yugioh amongst the other Legends....sad to see him go, but he's in great hands.
Indeed. King kais world
Your story is incredibly poignant and really hits home to my own experiences growing up. Dragon ball to me wasn't just a show, but a medium for me to feel comfortable and escape from the difficulties of reality. I remember waking up during cold winter mornings when the sky was still dark and rushing to wake up my siblings so we can find out what adventures goku was up to, all without a single worry about the world. Such simple times, such beautiful simple times I wish I could relive for the first time again. I never was a very social kid in school, I was very shy, awkward, and just a general geek, so fitting in was something I struggled with for some time. Dragon ball helped find others who were like me and helped me make my very first friendships, some of which I cherish to this day. Even now as an adult where I have so many more responsibilities and stress in my life, I still look back on this series and the motivational lessons taught from time to time to help find the drive to continue to try my best, as corny as that may sound. If not for this series, my life would be very different than it is now and I can't imagine it any other way. Thank you for the memories and inspiration you've given not just myself, but millions of others through your work, Toriyama. It was genuinely an adventure like no other and I wouldn't trade a moment of it. Goodbye, my friend.
My earliest memory of dragon ball was staying up late to watch toonami when I was a kid. I tuned into trunks' first appearance and I remember thinking "this is the coolest character ever", and the show was so damn cool and so different from anything I had seen prior. From that I got into the rest of the show, all the games, everything all meant so much to me then and even more to me now. Toriyama is a legend who touched the lives of countless people, he helped shape a huge part pop culture and is a large reason why anime and japanese media is so huge in the west now.
RIP to the greatest to ever do it
I'm 18 years old, and for the past 3 years I have never even cried a single tear, but this news... it devastated me.. I cried like my own family died. I used to come back from school, running to the TV to watch Dragon Ball. It helped me endure all the bullying and trauma... just watching Goku's light-hearted smile and the engaging fights gave me courage to go on... I think the one that cried was the little kid in me, that part of me that is so fucking grateful for the help he gave, not only to me, but an entire community.
Rest in Power, Toriyama-sensei...
His influence on the world is incalculable
So many people flat out wouldn't know each other, entire childhoods and industries were made off of his work
RIP To the Greatest to Ever Do it. Thank you for everything Akira Toriyama.
GT was my first introduction to Dragon Ball. At first, I didn’t understand it, since I was just a little kid. All I saw was a little kid was getting beat down by some adult with white hair (Goku vs Baby Vegeta), and I knew that an adult shouldn’t do that. Well, as I grew older, I understood the context and grew to absolutely love this series, as well as most of the other anime that were inspired by Dragon Ball. Man, this still doesn’t feel real…
Dbgt had the most beautiful ending too along with the most beautiful song in dragon ball franchise history "Hold my hand" Dragon ball, dbz, and dbgt was my childhood. It's like Goku died with Akira when he passed away...it's not the same anymore man 💔
He made the world a better Place to make People good instead of evil R.I.P. Akira Toriyama
Dragon Ball was literally a huge part of my childhood. Goku was a big motivating factor that helped me push through my trials. Hearing Akira Goatiyama's passing is a punch to the gut. Rest easy you magnificent bastard
I may have hated on him for coming up with Super, but he still created the legendary show that was my childhood
Dragonball was part of my life since i was 4, coming up with Super won't make me forget that, it was the reason both my mind and body are healthier. He was an amazing artist, despite him joking about being lazy all the times. A lot of the plot in the manga happened because he kept trying to find ways to save on linework, just for his art to become more and more detailed every arc. Drawing Dragon Ball in middle school was the start of my decision in becoming an art student in college, and Its also the reason i work out to stay healthy. If it wasn't for him, I would probably never grew an interest for drawing and art as a whole. He, and his work, introduced me to this field; it saved me from a rough place back in middle school... now I've built my whole life around studio arts because of him. Even if i don't make it in the field with how brutal the industry is, i don't regret my choice. I learned so many wonderful things in college, and finally found a direction for the future. This man literally changed my life with his one work. I feel devastated, i slandered him so much for making Super, but I wouldn't be here if my younger self didn't just randomly decided to sketch Goku that one day in middle school. I know know how to make art in multiple mediums, from painting to sculpting. Even if i don't make it in the field i don't regret learning all these wonderful things. Rest in peace king, and thank you for everything. Akira Toriyama, you were the champion. You were number one.
The tears won’t stop flooding out. The hardest death I’ve ever experienced. Rip to the greatest to ever do it. Changed the lives of so many. Thank you, Akira Toriyama.
Why ? You didn't even know him lol
I'm 46 so my most vivid memory is the first time I saw the first episode OG Dragon Ball. I saw all the episodes multiple time and I even recorded the episodes on VHS and because I had 2 VHS devices I even did a Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z "Personal Cut"... My son is 12 and when he will wake up today I will give him this new... He will be very sad as Dragon Ball is also a big part of his life. We have so many things that serves as tools of bonding. Dragon Ball is among the most important ones...
This one hurts like hell 💔

This is absolutely heartbreaking. I'm 28 years old, and some of my earliest memories were of watching Dragon Ball Z on Toonami with my cousins.
Even though I'm an adult, I still beg my sister to play Dragon Ball Z games with me.
DBZ had such an incredible impact, and brought a special piece of Japanese culture to the west. To say that it inspired a generation, is a tragic understatement. Dragon Ball Z represented perseverance, Inner Strength, and motivation. Qualities that only make us better people. He left an incredible legacy behind, and he'll never be forgotten.
Rest in peace to the goat man, he carried a lot of our childhoods. This one really hurts as Dragon Ball carried me through a lot of my life, I can’t thank him enough for everything he’s not only done for me but people worldwide. There will never be another like him and I hope he rests easy, he deserves after creating and carrying some many childhoods
I still remember the first dbz episode i watch was at my cousin house it was android 17 vs piccolo an 7 year old me fell in love ever since then like this show has been my whole childhood my teenager self and adulthood. DBZ will live forever and so will Akira
Bro in my neighborhood growing up, we had one channel to watch after punishment and it wasn’t the news, it was DBZ
When that shit came on, you was there and nothin else mattered. Rest in Power OG, Otherworld treatin you like the King you are 💪🏾
Dragon Ball was the first anime I've watched growing up, helped me go through the hard times. It's hard to accept rn but may he rest in peace
Live it up, up there big man you deserve thanks for all the memories dude…
I always ran home at the end of school just to not miss the latest dragon ball episode. I Even started to draw Dragon Ball just to cover My notebooks in My Childhood. Made me feel powerful, strong, like I was able to fly high and power up my self to get through difficult times and I was able to make the next day inspired by the greatest work the legend, Akira Toriyama, did.
Thank You Master, legend. Rest in peace. 🙏
Man... This man impacted my life so much with the Dragon Ball franchise. I started watching Dragon Ball Z in the summer of 1996. On one Saturday morning after watching TMNT and other cartoons. My Brother and I came across watching Vegeta vs Zarbon during the Frieza saga. We were so amazed at the fight, we had to watch more. I've fallen in love with Dragon Ball Z since then. I would go to the library after school to watch Dragon Ball, DBZ, even GT. He's the reason why I wanted to become an artist, people ask me what I wanted to do and I said I wanted to be the next Akira Toriyama, no joke. I watched Dragon Ball in so many languages before English. That how much of a fan I am. So many moments that man has given us. I got nothing but love and respect for him. It's a sad time for this man to be gone. My condolences to his family and friends. This man's legacy will go on. Again, thank you Akira Toriyama, God bless.
It's hard to believe that the same man who created so many things that molded my childhood is gone now. I never thought I'd wake up, scroll on twitter, and the first thing I see is news about my childhood hero passing. His works was the foundation of my childhood, not to mention Dragonball reached many people that made them try out anime. the impact his works have done is beyond amazing. he is a legend, and a hero to many. Rest in Peace, Akira Toriyama. Your works always inspire me.
Dragon Ball Z was my introduction to anime when I was in 1st grade… I remember instantly falling in love with it, always rushing home from school at 2pm, to watch the 3-4pm power hour of DBZ…
Then went on to watch and read his other works, loving all of them.
It is because of him that I love manga and anime as much as I do, his work helped shape me into who I am… and I’m sure this could be said for millions of people across the world…
He was far more than a normal legend… thank you for all the incredible memories, rest in peace, Toriyama-San…
This franchise has completely changed my life and I hope he rests the way he deserves with shenron

Since i was 4 I watched Dragon ball. Im 28. When I was a kid i moved a lot, had no friends, was depressed, my parents always fought etc., but I always had Dragon Ball. I trained in martial arts, got into anime and fantasy and sci fi, got into creative endeavors and even some philosophyies i hold to this day were all an influence that he had a major part in and for many people from multiple generations around the world and he holds a lot of responsibility for why anime and japanese media and culture is appreciated world wide. Shonen Jump and shueisha became the undisputed king of manga because of him. He's one of a kind.
I had the worst childhood possible and the only thing I remember making me happy was Dragon Ball.
So this News literally stripped apart a part of my childhood and probably the only good thing that made me happy.
It’s not just a person dying.
We talking about the most influential Mangaka and creator of the most influential Anime and yet words can’t describe how hard this news hit.
Rest Easy Akira Toriyama….
We may see you in the Otherworld.
Thank you for Everything.
Hiya Donnie. Long time no see. Glad that you're still around broski. My first exposure to Dragon Ball was on the korean channel 53 in the early 90's way before Toonami or WB brought it over to the states. I was already a fan of anime but seeing the scrappy little monkey boy flying around on a cloud looking for a good fight left an imprint. I was enamored and spread the gospel any way I could. When it progressed to DBZ , The floodgates were opened. I bought the games on the super famicom, the ova movies bootleg with no subs, the super battle collection action figures from Bandai...I was a branch on the tree of all things DBZ. And eventually you meet others who like and love the same things. Yet here we are. Mourning the loss of one of the Giants of both manga & anime. Word to Shenron...R.I.P. Toriyama. Thanks a million for making our childhood richer.
He’s just in the Otherworld rn
May he rest easy man
Dragon ball got me through so much. In foster care the only time I ever got to watch it was when I had weekend visits with my GMA. I remember playing outside for hours to come back in to a homemade meal, a tall glass of soda, and the buu arc was playing. This entire series got me through so much depression and saved me. Thank you Mr. Toriyama, rest easy and eat lots of food with everyone in DB as you should be.
This is truly depressing. The undeniable GOAT of the community.
Which goat? Dragon Ball is absolute trash, one of the worst mangaka ever

I got into dragon ball from my dad, he was always deployed and one time when I was 4 or 5 a he came home from Japan and he had gotten me the entire OG dragon ball. That started my love of anime and manga. Later on In middle school I didn’t have a lot of friends, moving around so much makes it kinda pointless, but I started talking with my soon to be lifelong friend over Dragon ball Z, at the time Ive never watched it but he lent me his DVD boxsets and my little brother and I watched all of DBZ after school, bonding over the story and losing our minds over the fights. Thank you Akira Toriyama for the memories and the friendships your creations brought to my life and the ones around me.

Rip Thank you for everything... you will be missed
He Was A Legend Gonna Miss Him
I remember when I was a kid, my most vivid memory is that there would be a dragon ball z marathon on direct TV every weekend. It went from the saiyan saga all the way to the end of the namek saga, it would play like this over the course of the weekend and would repeat every few weeks. I fell in love with it day one and have loved it ever since, going on to watch the cell saga and buu saga a few years later. He was such an influential person, on me and on everybody. RIP Akira Toriyama, you will be missed and your works will never be forgotten
Rip akira toriyama. You gave so many children their childhoods
My dad and cousin were the ones who got me into dragon ball with bojack unbound in 2017 so once they both passed away dragon ball helped me get through those hard times
Bro i was trying to sleep but i felt that something was wrong and i hop on to UA-cam and see the tragic news.Rest In Peace Akira Toriyama
This is very heartbreaking condolences to his family
Akira hasnt just touched us as dragon ball fans,but he also encouraged the creator of one piece to continue. Damn I've known him my whole life
The world lost a legend today.
He is the real legend of anime and creation. We all must remember the great times and impacts he had for us. Let us continue dragon ball in his honor. Stick together friends, for him ❤❤
I agree. If anyone see this post . Please like and share with friends.
Toriyama was the goat. Dragon ball changed my life man, I remember my first time seeing dragon ball was a clip on youtube of goku saying that gohan and vegeta were dead, so I looked up their death scenes not knowing any better, which led to me watching Majin Vegeta giving buu the smackdown, and after that I was in love. I binged all of og db, dbz, kai, gt, super and all the movies. Rest in peace toriyama, thank you for changing our lives
He will be dearly missed. I’m 22 and I remember coming home from school and waiting for DBZ Kai to come on thursdays at 8 back when I was a kid. My parents let me sit in the living room and watch in on our big TV. It really captivated me, and shaped my interest and love for anime and manga. And it helped me through some tough times in my life. Akira Toriyama you will be missed dearly, and your impact on my life and the lives of many other will never be forgotten.
I used to watch kai on Saturday mornings 😢😢 first anime I've ever watched
Man, stay strong bro. You are gonna be okay and we are all gonna get through it. I'm' sorry your life has been hard, but you've built a community and you have so much heart. Keep pushing forward and let's all share and celebrate DB and everything we love. Hope you stay well, bro.
I don't know what it was about dragon ball, but something just clicked with me. I loved dragon ball and still do to this day, I remember fondly when I had my DS and played Dragon Ball Z Super Sonic Warriors 2, it was my favorite game on the DS, and Akira gave us so much more. I hope he's in a better place. He will never be forgotten.
a man who has welded a generation through his passion of creating a story of adventure, heart-pounding action, monumental moments of transformations, iconic music, a true message of friendship, overcoming one’s limits showing that nothing is impossible and single handily making his young little saiyan boy into the most iconic and inspiring character in all of fiction (Son Goku)
Your legacy is one that shall never be forgotten and your ambition that started your series will continue through the minds and hearts of the people you’ve bestowed your series to in order to continue telling the tale of the world that contains the seven mystical dragon balls. Your work has affected the lives of millions upon millions of childhood’s and your series continues to inspire the newer generation. Dragon Ball is something special that shall always be cherished.
Rest In Heaven Peacefully Akira Toryiama Sensei.
Rest in peace, Akira Toriyama. i really cant believe it, i dont even know how to feel right now. His world and creations made me into the artist i am today. Dbz has been such a huge inspiration in my life. I remember when my older brothers introduced me to it back in the late 2000s when i was in elementary. We would gather around our tiny tv on the floor and would wait for toonami to come on. And then afterwards i would just sit and draw so much dbz for hours and it became a passion of mine to one day create my own world and characters just like dbz. Thank you so much Akira Toriyama,for creating some of the most memorable parts of my life.
Legit made me tear. Feels like a big part of my childhood just died as well.
My friendships, moments, afternoons, school, and everything were bonded together by Dragon Ball. It was the thing that started a conversation and friendships, and It was my life , my parents were never there for me, nor my younger sisters, but growing up in México, I would do my homework watching for the 100th time the Cell Saga or Buu Saga, wish to meet the creator and of course pretend I was part of that universe, He will forever live in our hearts, minds and THE HUGE LEGACY he has created.
Thank you, Sir.... for the amazing world you created..... R.I.P
Dragon ball was easily my escape because i grew up with a abusive dad and it helped me get through it. Absolutely wild that toryiyama is gone he helped me throughout that hard time....
Rest in Peace Absolute Legend.
Such a legend in many of us, he will forever remain in our hearts as he has inspired millions upon millions. His work in manga and anime has truly made my childhood like many others, and I am happy to see and hear about others' experience with Akira Toriyama being apart of their lives as he has mine. This man will forever remain a legend and continue to inspire millions even after his passing. Rest in peace Legend Akira Toriyama the GOAT. As we pay tribute, let us all continue to be happy and loving the content and appreciation of Akira Toriyama's existence and what he has done to inspire us all. May he live on in all of us as he impacted many of our childhoods.

Yo Free from the videos ive seen i can tell youre a good father so whatever youve been thru its all came together and created a good solid man. Keep your head high brother
I appreciate your saying that bro
Np g sometimes kind words dont mean much but i mean it when i say i can tell you've got a great soul. Keep up the good work brudda we are all here for you! we a family 🧡
I remember being 6 or 7 and going on a flight to Mexico with my mom to see family. My cousin at the time showed a show I had never seen before. of dragon ball. I thought it was the coolest shit I had ever seen before. When I flew back to the states, I couldn’t find it for the life of me until I was 11 or 12. Watching dbz on toonami every day after school was peak for me until it ended. Later when I was 17, I decided to rewatch it again and I found a new love for it all over again. db shaped my childhood. Toriyama will forever live in all of our hearts. Rest in peace goat 💔
He's going to be missed and remembered til the end of time.❤
I'm 25 years old and Dragon Ball has been so much more to me than simply a show. Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Trunks, Piccolo, so many characters in Dragon Ball were more than characters in a show for me. They were role models. They pushed me to be the best that i can be and continue to do so.
I have an interesting and very wonderful relationship with Dragon Ball. My dad found Dragon Ball when he was in high school (yeah my dad is young lol he's 47 now) and insantly became a fan and when i was born ever since i could remember Dragon Ball was a part of my life. It was a way that i could bond with my dad.
I felt like my dad was Goku and I was Gohan. My cousins all loved Dragon Ball too and we would always fight each other as kids as different Dragon Ball characters.
I'm honestly just rambling right now with what im saying and could say so much more about what Dragon Ball means to me and others.
D-Free I'm glad that Dragon Ball was able to get you through tough periods in your life man and I'm glad that it has brought so many people together. This is a heartbreaking day but we'll get through this brothers and honor Akira Toriyama by loving his creation for many years to come.
Bro... this is the saddest shit I've ever seen, RIP my goat
Akira Toriyama was ever one's favorite and he will NEVER BE FORGOT BY US, AND WE WILL LEAD THE DRAGONBALL FRANCHISE AS A COMUNITY INTO THE NEW GENARATION AND MAKE HIS LEGACY NEVER FORGOT...
Akira Toriyama, may you Rest In Peace and you will never be forgotten

My favorite memory of Dragon Ball is watching Gohan turn super saiyan 2 for the first time, i still get goosebumps from it to this day. I also have so many memories of playing Budokai Tenkaichi 3 with my brothers and friends. this hurts me so much i owe so much to that man, if only he knew the amount of love and respect everyone in this world had for him. As Oda said, I hope heaven is a beautiful as he drew it.
Broken childhood. 1998. 5 years old. Frieza saga overnight marathon. Changed my life. Helped me find inner strength. People places and things have always failed me, but the world of Dragon Ball never left me in all its wonderous over the top glory.
Rip Toriyama Sensei.
Love Coty.
My favorite memory was when I would watch Dragonball with my brother and it made me feel like life was what you made it, soon after I would watch it more as a teen and now as an adult it impacted my life with my relationship with my brother. Toriyamas work will always forever be with us.
This is so unreal...
The first time I got into Dragon Ball was when the Resurrection of Frieza movie came out one DVD. I had never seen Dragon Ball beforehand and my uncle recommended me to get the movie. From that momemt my life literally changed forever, and I couldn't of been more happy. Although I wasn't there from the start, the impact that master Akira Toriyama has had on my life puts a smile on my face. May he rest in peace.
Dragon Ball gave us an escape to a world that we all wanted to be a part of and looked forward to growing up, it’s impacted our lives in our own ways from kids and even until now as adults, so many great memories, Toriyama’s art, story telling and work will be missed his legacy will live on forever RIP
I woke up to this noise. I've never cried over a celebrity death, but this man has formed my childhood with my absolute favorite anime. It's so unreal that he just passed so suddenly, and without much of a word before. May he rest in peace, and may his family mourn.
I got into Dragon Ball by watching Dragon Ball Kai when it aired on 4Kids as a kid. Akira Toriyama works mean a lot to me and even plays a role in identity. This heartbreaking and shocking after learning about this tragic incident. Thank you for everything Toriyama! Dragon Ball served as a catalyst and played a big role in defining people's childhood and lives. You're perpetual legacy, impact, inspiration, and influence that you bestowed and contributed to reality, society, and the world will never be forgotten. Fly High Toriyama Sensei.
Thank you for expanding the shared experience.
He made and did something special for the world.
Arigato, Toriyama-sensei.
Dragon ball has seen me through some of the toughest in my life I remember seeing it for the first time on toonami when I was little with my brother we watched both z and super waiting for every new episode we had arguments about who was stronger goku or vegeta I remember buying a bundle of old dragon ball movies from Walmart and binged it the moment we got back home and such an amazing time I’m just so heart broken to see the news :(
Rip Toriyama you've brought me so much joy throughout my lifetime and I'm only 17 I remember I used to struggle going to school because of the struggles I had with the students and teachers but I remember my father and mother always telling me look at goku do you think he would give up or would he keep pushing just because of how much they knew I loved the anime and that really carried me through school and life and made me the strong person I am today thank you toriyama we love you dearly and your legacy will not die rest in peace ❤️
I remember working in a comic bookstore in the 90's when I first heard of Dragonball. started watching from there on out. I love all of it and I take inspiration from quotes and story lines that helped me throughout the years! I'm saddened to hear this news! I hope the community as a whole can come together and appreciate the wonderful piece of history he has left behind for us all! be well!
I just got done binge watching the DBZ kai series last year. The best moment was watching Super Saiyan Goku brawling it out with Frieza. While I didn't grow up watching his work, I understand just how influential it was for ALOT of people. Rest in Peace, Akira. 🙏
I’m sorry your mother made the decision she made and I hope you are healing well. This is tough for all of us but we will bounce back stronger as a community. He brought us together and we need to stay with each other
It’s heartbreaking to see so many things left unfinished. So many projects and plans that we’ll never get to see in their true light. With Toriyama gone it just feels like there is a hole that can’t be filled. The impact he had on so much media was incredible and it’s hard to imagine that he’d leave so abruptly.
My first experience was watching Goku and Krillin train under Master Roshi back in og ball when I was like 4 or 5 that stretch of episodes locked me in for life. This was the Wild Wild West days of UA-cam back mfs were uploading and archiving whole seasons of anime in 720p. Akira Toriyama's works helped me getting through so tuff times and helped my grow into the person I am today. May he rest happily in peace💔🙏🕊️
My older brother got me into DBZ. I loved it. My brother had some of VHS of history of trunks, cooler's revenge, and the tree of might, etc. My brother went to chicago and he got me an autograph of Kid Gohan's voice actor. I still have it and I cherish it every day. As I got older I watched all the fights on UA-cam, watched the AMVs (lol), and started my own little collection. I even got my newborn a Vegeta Armor Onesie.. RIP Toryiama. 🙏
Damn, waking up in the morning only to find this.. Earliest memory is when in Lithuania, there was a channel that would always show 2 Dragon ball Z episodes, right after school, watching it from 7-8 years old, Toriyama was as start of my anime series, going to naruto, bleach and others. Now 23 years old, played all the games, watched all fan animations, all episodes, watching old fights on repeat. Started making DBZ AMV at 13y old, started to try drawing, first fanart was Goku. Just damn, you never expect these days to come...
The author who created transformations, the author who made the most iconic Anime scene of all. I don’t care what y’all say but do you. THANK YOU SO MUCH AKIRA TORIYAMA

And if there's no dragon ball, Shonen anime wouldn't be popular
@@FiRsTofALL0132 yes
Dude... This hurts man... I remember getting into Dragon Ball through my Uncle. We would watch up through Frieza Saga and honestly? That's probably the reason I'm a Dragon Ball fan to this day... All i can say is Rest In Peace Akira Toriyama... Legendary Saiyan, Earthling, Namekian, Author, Artist, and Man.
I really appreciate Akira as a person for making are childhoods as great as they were and we enjoyed it. Me and my brothers grew up on dragon ball z and we loved it, we still do to this day and its hard to let this sink in, We'll never forget him for his amazing work he put his heart into.❤
Im 26. I lived in dominican Republic with my grandma back around when i was in pre-k. I used to be super afraid of the dark. My grandma would always let me stay up late to watch the two episodes of dragonball that they would show every night as long as i turned off all the lights before bed. When it would finish id turn off the light and the tv and sprint to bed. Id do this every night despite being terrified of the dark because i loved dragon ball. My grandma has also passed on as well and idk im just so grateful to him for making dragon ball. Made my childhood so fun.
I am saddened with the passing, but I am thankful for his existence and the fact that he dedicated his life to bringing us new stories, even though we didn't always deserve it, he still made it his life's work. He changed the world with his art. We will forever be in his debt. Rest In Peace 🕊️
Man, I remember the first time I was introduced Dragonball z or anime in general. I was at my cousin’s house and he was watching goku vs vegeta from the saiyan saga. I remember just standing there watching the whole thing. It really hurts to know that the person whose story introduced me to the world of anime is gone. Rest in peace Akira Toriyama and thank you for the good memories.
Rest in peace Akira Toriyama. Thank you for bringing me a lot of joy and happiness growing up. Your creations helped me to keep going through rough times, still do, and forever will. Thank you for all the wonderful memories, thank you for all the beautiful moments and funny moments. You’ve captivated entire generations with your amazing work and it will forever be cherished with us. Thank you, rest in peace and fire a Kamehameha for us on King Kai’s world. 💔🙏🏼🕊️
I remember when I was little me and my cousins would run home to my grandmas to watch dragon ball every day we would recreate the fights our selves and this this just hits hard like hella hard. The world of anime will miss this man none of this would be possible without him. May this legend rest in peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Watching Goku and Vageta train, always gave me motivation when I was in sports and had to push through a tough moment. Gone but never forgotten.
