Dragonball Z is a Christian Cartoon about Jesus Christ and the 1611 King James Bible: Dragonball z Characters never grow older than roughly 33 years old: And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli.

Toriyama almost single-handedly introduced the western world to manga/anime. There were plenty of "action packed cartoons" in that era, but Dragonball was the only one that made people actually question "what is this, its too good to just be a cartoon". Toriyama's creation was not just an amazing manga/anime because of its art style and action. It was a story displaying the importance of loyality, discipline, family, and that a positive outlook on life can trump any tragedy. RIP

There was a man who, to distract himself from hunger due to poverty, drew his favorite pictures. In pursuit of some extra cash, he drew manga for manga awards. Several years later, he became the wealthiest man in Japan. Despite the challenges of manga creation, he managed to complete "Dragon Ball" without compromising quality. The speed and quality of his work were so unbelievable that he became a legendary figure, revered as a god by all manga artists. Akira Toriyama changed the world from a small room in rural Japan, with just paper and pen. Moreover, he didn't set out to change the world; he simply did what he loved. Even if credited with changing the world, he would likely modestly say, "I could only draw," and shyly smile. He might even think of his death as merely the passing of one rural person. Still, we are saddened by your passing. R.I.P, Toriyama. May you continue doing what you love, even in heaven.

Lamentations 4:2 The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold. Psalm 45:13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold. 1 Kings 10:14 666 = Number of a Man Dragonball z Characters are Strong af: ‭‭And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses. 2 Kings‬ ‭19:35‬ Goku who is a type of Jesus Christs ressurects from the dead: For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.

Luke‬ ‭24:51‬ ‭‭And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went. John 6:19-21 ‭‭And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. Luke‬ ‭24:31‬ Dragonball z Characters Shine Brilliantly: And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: Matthew 28:2-3 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. Matthew 17:1-2 ‭‭And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering. Luke‬ ‭9:29‬ And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. Luke‬ ‭24:4‬ Saiyans were cast out of Space on to earth due to war: ‭‭And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

R.I.P. Mr. Toriyama. Thank you for all your works. Especially Dragon Ball. That was part of my childhood. You will be missed. Yasuraka ni nemute kudasai.

[@rhin0beatz]

I’m glad they talked to someone who seemed as though they respected an revered Akira San. My life was forever changed when I first encountered DBZ with some friends in 6th grade. Hard to believe I’ve love this man’s manga for 20+ yrs now

[@0doublezero0]

The fact that Toriyama has got the biggest media companies talking about this passing shows how much of an impact he had not only in Japan but the entire world. We will all miss you and never forget your legacy. RIP

He was huge. there's no way they wouldn't cover this. :D

The man who helped to make it okay for a lot of us internationally to be anime fans. Nothing will be able to capture the impact he left more than seeing stadiums of people across multiple countries there to watch the series finale of Dragon Ball Super.

Dragonball Z weekdays on toonami was my introduction to anime. Toriyama’s influence on the culture cannot be overstated. A huge loss. RIP.😢

[@Ghostvertigo]

Yep Toonami was the shit, just like The man who made dragon ball

[@ninjascryptfurey5721]

this guy and dragonball z taught me as a child about morals, being strong, that its never too late to change and do good even if you have a bad past, a message given through vegeta and that being a bully because ur big or strong is true weakness. RIP Akia Toriyama.

This is a sad day to be a dbz fan. He was a legend

​@DanielKyreMcNuttWhat's wrong with you?

[@bjremix456]

@DanielKyreMcNutt you are celebrating the death of another human being ? really? I mean is painfully obvious that you are trolling but still only a trash person would do something like that

[@TheRealDarth_Vader]

He a troll dont pay him no mind

[@SSG_Ronnie42]

@AuranCrash this topic has nothing to do with Isreal or Ukraine. Daniel is simply trolling. Just because 'some' people do 1 thing does not justify the actions of another. Generalising people is not ok either. People are allowed different opinions even if we disagree with them. Try to be a better human being...war isn't good for anyone.

[@SonicWolfhard]

R.i.p. Akira Dragon ball, Sonic The hedgehog and Tekken was a big part of my childhood. Thank you Akira!

The whole of Mexico is in a state of mourning. As a Mexican who grew up watching DB on t.v in both Mexico and the U.S it's been so influential with my own art along with my friends and family. My cousin Angel became a fitness trainer cause Golu is his role model. I still can't believe he's gone.

[@Animodeus]

He is the reason why anime is famous His influence on other Manga artist is the reason why anime is still relevant today His legacy is not just dragon Ball It's inspiring other mangakas

[@stevenstone7101]

Dragon Ball has been with me ever since I was 7. I'll never forget how my eyes were glimmering the first time I saw Goku, Gohan, Goten, Vegeta, and Trunks on the cover of a game that would go on to be one of my best games ever, if not the best. Dragon Ball helped me not to fall into depression and gave me the motivation and inspiration to work out. Dragon Ball also showed me not to give up on my dreams and to enjoy the grind. It has also done the same for millions around the world. What a legend we lost. Until we meet again, Master Akira Toriyama. Rest in eternal peace. ❤
