Rest In Peace Akira Toriyama | Dragon Ball Creator Passes Away Age 68

[@Justobiey55]

If it wasn't for Toriyama, Bleach wouldn't even be a series... You see, before Bleach became a series, Kubo got rejected by Shonen Jump when he put through his first draft of Bleach's concept. Toriyama then wrote Kubo a letter of encouragement and essentially got him to try again, stating he felt the series had potential. So thanks to Toriyama, my favorite anime became an actual series and us Bleach fans owe him a lot... RIP Akira Toriyama, you will be missed 🙏🏼😢🕊️

[@juicechan2343]

Legend changed the game completely on his own.

[@AppStateBuffaloBillsWaifu]

Thank you Toriyama. Bleach has been a huge staple of my life for almost 20 years. Your contribution to Kubo’s eventual success for Bleach means so much 💐

[@Chainsawguy83]

Bleach was one of my first favourites along with dragon ball

We anime fans salute toriyama for his hard work into shaping the new anime world

[@aninfinitemindofmusicandreams]

So Toriyama's the reason for two of my favorite shonen anime? Rest in peace. Genuinely heartbroken by this news. DBZ was my childhood obsession and I still love it

Era's my friend. In 100 years our historian will call this era of manga the Toriyama era.

[@Red.Decimo]

Akira Toriyama created something that would transcend life, and it truly did Akira Toriyama wasn't just a good man, nor was he a hero for the manga industry. He is, in Goku's words, the hope of the universe. Rest in Peace, to the God of Shonen

[@robertrainford6754]

He also butchered it in combination with the animation company. He never decided to improve as a writer ether which is what the series needed. Was he creative yes. Would dragonball be better without him more than likely yes.

[@ivanrivera6998]

How would Dragon Ball be "better" without the original creator influencing the series anymore? Do you always talk out of your ass? Lol...the sheer disrespect is stunning.

[@ChadKakashi]

@@robertrainford6754never improved as a writer? Did he need to? The writing of DB is top notch (given the style of the manga) and Super’s quite decent (even though he’s isn’t directly writing it).

[@robertrainford6754]

@@ChadKakashi now that’s laughable the writers is awful and formulaic. Same with the fights. You know it’s sad when you have only 2 good fights in the entire portion of the show. That was 17 vs piccolo and 16 vs cell. If he was a such a good writer than why could he not come up with situations were the characters actually won with there fighting skills alone. I mean for a show about fighting I never got the indication that any of the main characters or even goku could actually fight. Why could he come up with the humans and piccolo catching up to goku and vegeta instead of you know being left out of the show because they are sayins. Let’s not forget that for every new concept he creates he fails to explore it or expand upon it. Let’s not forget about the ridiculous power scaling with frieza and of course all the plot holes. I like dragonball z when I was a kid, but as the years gone by I don’t like it anymore. If toryama solution was not to make every fight a one sided mess, and stopped with the stupid hair styles I would feel differently. Despite the rant the man could draw and was a amazing artist, but that’s all I will give him. I admire is art, but hate his storytelling.

[@robertrainford6754]

@@ivanrivera6998 because he wasn’t a good writer and there were a huge amount of problems with the anima which only got worse. Here is one good one. The show is supposed to be about martial artist right? Well I never get the indication that anybody can fight in the show because there has never been a point we’re sombody one by fighting skills. Every time it was always getting some stupid hair color and winning that way. It turned into a show all about power. At least in the original dragonball the fights felt interesting than just powering up and one shorting people. That isn’t exciting one bit. This is a great time to fix all the problems the show. Making everybody a sayian useless can finally end. Actually having character win through cleaver writing than get some stupid hair color and win. Less reliant on transformations if you can even call them that. I don’t consider glowing hair. Transformation. A transformation is a actual drastic change like frieza or cell.

[@mandalorianhunter1]

This is Devastating. I like Dragonball but it wasn't really my favorite anime/manga, but the impact it has is everlasting.

[@scarylilstarassassin5492]

For me, I was actually about 16 when I discovered dragon ball, I had seen some anime and was a low key fan. But dbz blew me away, my friend had the entire thing recorded on tape, yea, tape, I'm 36 so that wasn't too rare back then, I binge watched the hell out of it, I never actually gave those tapes back as my friend, that he was a massive fan...... He turned me into a bigger one. The manga, it was the first manga I read, and the games, that's what got the rest of my friends into dbz and then manga in general, I don't think any of us would of heard of bleach or naruto if we hadn't of played those games together. The fun we had. And the excitement about anything db related, Akira truely was a legend. The only reason why I played dragon quest was because he did the art. It was amazing. I'm very shocked and saddened over this as I'm sure you all are. R.I.P Akira, thank you for so many amazing memories that quite literally changed not just my life but the lives of so many...

I've been a lapsed Dragon Ball fan, after I finished Z and GT I was satisfied with DB, but even then it was special, and my favorite aspect of Toriyama when I learned of him was how in every interview and public appearance and photos he was always smiling, and then it hit me how he meant every word in Dragon Ball and all his works, he told stories about hope and perserverance even in the darkest times. He really was one of a kind, and anime and manga as we know it wouldn't exist if not for him. So, thank you, Toriyama sensei, for everything.

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.

Without DBZ, I too wouldn’t be the person I am now it was my first introduction to anime/manga and I used to draw the characters just like you when I was in secondary school to the point where I was known as the “manga kid” even till this day. It opened the doors of anime to me and my appreciation of manga as a whole and other art mediums. I can’t describe how upset I am about this news it feels like a part my childhood has been ripped out but all of us just like goku and Z squad, should persevere and continue with life and keep the memories with us.

[@Mono_303]

I was around 7 years old when my older cousins introduced me to dbz. From the games, to the figures, I was introduced to it really early on. Even though I didn’t watch dbz until later on in my teens growing up I still knew a lot about dbz because it was just that iconic. I’m grateful for everything Toriyama has done for the world, being apart of my childhood and also inspiring many of my favorite shows to this day.

[@BreadApologist]

The man was an icon, a beacon, a ray of hope. At first way way long ago I dismissed dbz as some silly show with stupid flashy light effects. Then one day I had nothin else to watch so I started watching dbz. Fell in love with the show in 1 episode, was in saiyan saga at the time. DBZ and the things that have spawned from it, parodies, series etc all that has helped me make friends, learn things, inspired me to write sci fi when I was in school and sometime after. Its had such a huge impact on my life. I can 100% in all honesty say my life would be unimaginably different if not for dbz. The thing is though, its not just the show. Its everything that Akira Toriyama had birthed via the series. All the parodies, the similar shows taking inspiration from it. He was such a wonderful talented amazing person.

[@Xaforn]

I couldn’t believe this when I saw it, so heartbreaking 💔. DBZ was so life changing, it was like nothing else on tv then. I struggled with my health growing up so it was so easy to be drawn into a world where there was such strong characters, with morals, redemption arcs like you said etc. Toriyama really did change the world for all of anime and manga for which I will forever be thankful. It also ignited interest in Japan and its culture for the entire world. 💜

Akira made a big difference in the black community especially. Black people resonated with Vegeta and frieza, because black people see Frieza as a proverbial racist slave owner and Vegeta proving that he is more than just a toy and can overcome his limitations and surpass his former owner. This is why you see so many black fans appreciating Vegeta over other characters.

I first discovered Dragon Ball through Toonami during childhood in late 1998! I've also watched OG Dragon Ball, GT, Kai, and Super! I also like some DB games such as Advanced Adventure and FightersZ! His iconic art style made me try out Dragon Warrior III on the Game Boy Color in 1999 (I first thought it was a spin-off!). Since then, I adored the Dragon Quest series! Additionally, I've played and finished Chrono Trigger in 2020 and still play it often! I also read Dr. Slump in 2012.

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.
