[@user-sc3yo3gh2h]

I'm Japanese, and I can see the whole nation experiencing the overflowing grieving over the death of the greatest creator in manga/anime history

[@Biodegradable-Trash9005]

Its only right to be, I've never really watched dragon ball z but I've always seen the characters when I was small. I saw how this anime made people happy and inspired many creators. Im not from Japan and I was planning to read watch the whole anime but I cant because I'm always busy :( I loved the memes surrounding around dragon ball z, but now I don't really feel like reading it now because of the goated mans death. Maybe later, but I'm glad your Nation people inspired other Japanese creators and foreigners across the world :D Rest in peace Akira Toriyama, you will be greatly missed, he didn't have to go this way

[@777gers]

I would never forget the 1996 my childhood my second anime I watch Dragon ball, back then people here call it cartoon not anime 😅

[@user-sc3yo3gh2h]

I'm glad to realise that we grew up watching the same anime beyond the differences in times and places we were born and raised. We made treasured memories through his works together. I wholeheartedly miss him.

I haven't spoken to my 2 childhood friends in years, but we always bonded over Dragonball z as kids. Today while I was at work one of them made a group chat for the 3 of us and made me aware of toriyama's passing. We haven't stopped texting each other about our favorite memories since this morning

[@edenshorthousesthouse1925]

Your lucky I had my brother's whilst I was watching this and I was 23 the amount of things said before they were seen actually made a difference in the perception there's a way I can tell it was reaching me in a similar way. Shaping conscious perception regardless of your age. Very professional writing in everything even Airale was awesome.

Idk about the "not wish him back" part because he was in the middle of working on more projects and he was enthusiastic about it meaning he had a vision and wanted to see it through to the end before passing. But he died before he could.

[@manuvratkalamkar2219]

He couldn't even be wished back as he passed away naturally. But we shall honour and continue his work and I assure he will be happy.

[@arnoldrivera4504]

I’m from the Philippines and when I was in college I witnessed Filipinos up to the age of 70 watching Dragon Ball on TV. And at the mall in front of an electronic shop watching out from the glass wall, people are crowding the mall’s hallways because they were watching Dragon Ball, young kids, teenagers, adults like carpenters, office workers, service crews from different restaurants, managers and so on. Even if we can’t hear the sound we stayed there watching because we didn’t want to miss the episode. That’s what anime’s like in the Philippines, it’s part of our life and Dragon Ball is one of the first and one of the best. I there are a lot of new anime’s and new characters now but first, Salute to Akira Toriyama. almost all the people in the world knows that you made us do and say. Kaaaaaaaaa………. Meeeeeeee………. Haaaaaaaaa……… Meeeeeeee………. Haaaaaaaaa……… Sayo nara AKIRA TORIYAMA You will be missed.
