5 April 1955 - 5 April 2015
Happy 60th Anniversary, Toriyama!

We can have Kami, Super Saiyan God, God of Destruction an other Gods in the series. Here in real life, there's only our Toriyama.
Wish him a Happy Birthday. Today is his day!

A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

Though I'm not happy with what he has been doing recently (except for Jaco and Movie 14), happy birthday, Legendary Super Human! :clap:

<3 Toriyama.

This makes it sound like he died...
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

Happy birthday to one of my favorite manga authors. Whatever you're doing right now (either just waking up do the the time difference...or still asleep...not 100% sure on exactly what the time difference is actually...), I hope your birthday's a good one!

Not to wax poetic too much, but I definitely still (and always will probably) feel pretty indebted to him and his work for getting me to where I am in life now.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Happy 60th Birthday, Toriyama. You created one of the most important things in my life, so here's my tribute:
Spoiler:
Frustratingly, I do not have my tablet at home with me during Easter break, so the pen tool and some trickery will have to do. Wish I'd had the means to do better.

Here's to many more years!
