Dragon Ball/DBZ was the first thing I ever became hyper-fixated with. It inspired me to do so many things, and it lasted until I was an adult. This one hurts. Rest in peace, Akira Toriyama, and thank you so much for all the magic you gave us. β₯οΈπ

What a legend. He introduced so many people to anime. DBZ and Toonami defined a lot of childhoods.

Grew up with DBZ, and even watched DBS, DBGT, and the original Dragon Ball. I absolutely loved it, he won't be forgotten as legends never die

Shiiiiiiiiit. I'm actually stunlocked irl rn reading this tragic news
This man, this LEGEND, created one of if not the most defining series you couldn't find anywhere else buy in Japan.
Dragonball was a pivotal anime in my childhood that was irreplaceable in my heart. RIP Akira.

Oh no... Rest in peace, Toriyama-sensei. He was a mangaka icon who created a culture defining sensation, and will be dearly missed.

Words can not express how much this man has done for an uncountable number of people, how many he has brought together in passion and awe. He leaves as a legend and will be remembered as such. May the light of a thousand Kamehamehas guide your way oh great one.

We lost a true legend... Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z were some of my anime that I ever watched and gave me so much wonder and imagination when I was a child up to even now it's so hard to believe he's gone now... π π’

DBZ is the single largest catalyst for normalizing anime/manga in the west. Almost everyone's first weeb moment was pretending to do a Kamehameha. Without him, so much modern pop culture would vanish and its not a stretch to say we wouldn't have a western vtubing scene rn.

I know the feeling. Dragon Ball and DBZ were my introduction to anime growing up in the 90s, and I have been a fan since then. It is still one of my favorite franchises to this day. He was an absolute legend, and his work will always be treasured!
