[Omniboy]

C'mon man no... Shit

RIP

[FoolsGil]

Rest in Dragon Power.

[Super Saiyan Turlast x4]

I really was hoping this was a hoax, but unfortunately it's not.

RIP Mr. Toriyama. Thank you for everything.

[Raki]

This is beyond awful. 68 is fairly young these days.

[The Monkey King]

Jesus Christ man, RIP to an absolute legend.

Genuinely thought he had another decade or 2 left in him.

[PowerPhantom245]

What a shocking news.

R.I.P.

[DefinitiveDubs]

I have no words.

I wanted to think this was the same cruel and insensitive hoax we've got every year...

But now it truly happened. The man behind this big world of adventures, battles and stories we know as Dragon Ball has left us...

Thanks for everything, Toriyama-sensei.

Yeah, I just found out thru TVB News. This is so sudden. Kind of in a loss for words right now. If it had not been for him, I'd still be illiterate. Dragon Ball had been so influential for me to the point that I learned how to read Chinese in a country that doesn't teach Chinese literacy that effectively (Canada). This is such a downer.

My heart sank when I saw the headline on another website and I'm unexpectedly inconsolable about this.


Rest in Peace.

Had to pay respects. If there's a Valhalla for authors, Toriyama's more than earned his place. Thanks for all the fun times.

Hey, welcome back! Sad it had to be under these circumstances.

But yeah, if there's an afterlife, I hope Toriyama fiddling with his model kits right now.

This is very shocking news, especially since it happened a week ago. Damn.

You know... this January, I finally took the time to read Neko Majin, and I can't even begin to describe how hilarious it was. Like, you could tell the man really was a gag manga writer at heart. I feel like Toriyama's non-DB works don't get enough credit.

[TheRed259]

Such awful and unexpected news. Rest in peace legend, thank you for everything.

[Kunzait_83]

I don't think its at all an exaggeration at this point to cite Toriyama as one of the single most influential and globally impactful Japanese Manga artists of all time. Top 5 without question, alongside Osamu Tezuka, Go Nagai, and Leiji Matsumoto.

[Mr Baggins]

Absolutely devastating. I'm at a complete loss for words.

For me, Dragon Ball is over now. Rest in peace (and in power) to one of the greatest creatives to ever do it.

[Valerius Dover]

I'm still having trouble processing this. This came completely out of left field. It's the first I've heard of him even suffering from an ailment.

Rest in Peace.

This is a truly sad day for the fandom.

Of course my selfish brain goes to what does this mean for a series I have loved since childhood made possible by Toriyama, but thats more than I can say about others who have died I never met in person.

RIP one of the greatest authors in history.

May his souls rest In peace

I just can't believe this, is so sudden, is thanks to DB that I respect art and the medium of anime/manga and I met so many peeps because of this series man I will never ever forget about this wonderful franchise
