Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
Fucking hell, man. My father passed away a little over a month ago and this almost hit me just as hard. Rest In Peace, your work changed more lives than you can count
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
What the hell? This must have been a sudden thing. RIP Toriyama. Really didn't expect to lose the main man himself so soon.

Damn this is sad
Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
Without Toriyama I would not be making AMVs. Without Toriyama a lot of my favorite shows wouldn't exist. I'm sad

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
I am in shock.
Toriyama was one of the most influential mangakas in history and it is thanks to his work that I got to know the wonderful world of anime and manga.
Rest in peace and thank you for bringing so much joy to millions.

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
My Dad died a year ago and he was a huge fan of Dragon Ball too. He was in his 80s but he loved it as much as me and watching the series again was one of the last things we got to do together... This news sucks and it's really sinking in...jjgp1112 wrote: Thu Mar 07, 2024 11:08 pm Fucking hell, man. My father passed away a little over a month ago and this almost hit me just as hard.

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
My heart legit stopped for a moment upon seeing this on Twitter.
May he rest in peace. If nothing else, I owe a lot to him and Naoko Takeuchi (Sailor Moon) for getting me into anime/manga as early as my toddler years.

Anime fans are gonna have a lot to talk about for a while.
RIP. It seems like he lived out his post-DBZ life very comfortably.

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
Holy. Shit. This is almost unbelievable. The instant I saw it on Reddit, I knew I had to rush over here.
Rest in peace, Toriyama-sensei. No matter how any of us may feel about his work, he poured his heart and soul into his stories for decades, and that level of sheer passion is worthy of respect. He will be greatly missed.

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
Heard the news and wanted to re-log in to pay my respects.
Rest in Peace Toriyama-san, you truly are irreplaceable.

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
I honestly don’t know how to take this right now. Right before I heard this news, right at this moment, I was watching a street work out video and one of the guys in the video is named Broly. He does DBZ screams in between sets. THAT is how influential Toriyama-sensei’s impact is. Oh my God.

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
The future of Dragon Ball is going to be up in the air. Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is the last film that he wrote and Daima will be his piece of DB work ever.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I JUST SAW IT IN MY TWITTER I CAME STRAIGHT HERE
OH NOOOOO
This can't be
Nooooo......
Oh no... dear Lord.... I am speech less.... please
They waited so many days to announce it. I think those were his last wishes. I hope he rests in peace and he is in a better place, he deserves it, after all he did for us. He saved my life more than once. He gave us a reason to fight, to dream, to be better. We must honor his legacy. This great man shall never been forgotten.
