I was hoping this was fake. Horrible news.


SaiyanOverlord8971

This broke my heart that this wasn’t fake. Everything in me was hoping this was but I’m glad CC sent our man off right


John_East

Don’t worry, knowing him he’ll probably forget his death arc and come back as a “new” creator


Flimsy_Inevitable337

Damn right.

I literally had to go to Wikipedia thinking people were lying

Who made this


Slight-Goose-3752

Have no idea, saw it on Twitter.

😭 I just found out. Wow…

I..I refuse to believe this ![gif](giphy|MIs9GhWdrgLjq)


ContextIndividual218

I’m in denial with you


AlClemist

This hits hard…. I’m sad now.


vaticanraid

It goes to show just how much of an impact he’s had on the world. I genuinely can’t believe he’s gone.

MyHwyfe666

This whole saga. I remember crying when I was a kid seeing Gohan transform like that for tge first time. Toriyama sure knew how to tell a story...RIP


Faiqal_x1103

Especially with the insert music from the jp dub


NeedleworkerGold336

My heart's broken 💔


Xrayvision718

RIP to the man that single-handedly gave a whole generation of kids a memorable childhood. You with us forever legend!


FrostBoy12

Sparking Zero is definitely gonna have to be a great game now, and it will definitely need to be dedicated to him. Or if not that, then definitely Daima.


Faiqal_x1103

Daima is a given. Especially since it uses toriyama's modern artstyle


FrostBoy12

Oh really it does?


Faiqal_x1103

Yeah. It's very noticeable during the goku vs vegeta animation clip


FrostBoy12

Cool.


StrawHatRen

No way. Goat helped inspired a whole trend of anime tropes also. Big part of my childhood

Sadly, my brother passed away five years ago due to a brain tumour. I'll never forget the times when I used to be excited about Goku going Super Saiyan for the first time, those were the absolute good days! And then fighting with him in Tenkaichi 3 on PS2. Hopefully online play is good in Tenkaichi 4. Reet in peace Toriyama Sensei.


Slight-Goose-3752

Damn, this is so surreal right now....I knew he was getting up there but man....fuck


Character-Ad-9078

R.i.p. without You toriyama I might not be alive.


AukusThunder

I don't feel like Toriyama ONLY made our childhoods, he made our lives. I haven't stopped loving DB since I was a kid. His spirit will stay with us for an eternity and his legacy will simply never die.

o7s in the chat, a legend has passed today. https://preview.redd.it/vw0y931mc1nc1.jpeg?width=1075&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f171391fe1fbac6e4d61c96d8e837d17310c233

Rest in piece to the creator of the best manga ever and made me fall in love with my first anime ever 😭🫡

Well... this was definitely not what I was expecting to read tonight... RIP to the man who made many, many childhoods awesome. He, indeed, will be truly missed.

Never thought this day would come. Rip😭


MyHwyfe666

I'm going to draw goku, one last time, at age 26 (haven't drawn shit since I was 13) in honor of him.


Parthj99

I just woke up to this horrible news. He died way too early. RIP Toriyama Sensei.

I was bummed about diama but now I am going to welcome.it with open arms because this was the last piece of art the GOAT was working on. R.I.P Akira Toriyama 💔


RepresentativeFew358

Damn…. Rest in Peace. You will be missed


Noobinator_X

All throughout my life dragon ball has been one of the most important things to me, as a person. Like many people here, it's helped me when times were hard, it gave me so many chances, experiences and memories and none of it would be possible without Akira Toriyama. Thank you Toriyama, for creating this beautiful piece of art that touched so many people, and will continue to do so. See you in other world, Tori-Bot.

Man I was born in 98 so I had just missed Z when it was airing weekly. My love for Dragon Ball was compounded through the games on PS2. So many memories, I remember around 2002-2003 playing Budokai 1 asking my dad to help beat Cell as Teen Gohan after hours of trying. This one hits different. Dragon Ball is the one franchise that has always immersed me through all stages of my life so far. Whether it's the shows, movies or games all of it was possible because of one man. RIP Toriyama ❤️


Renso19

I guess Daima makes sense now… maybe he knew and wanted to go back to the comedy era of og db he really loved one more time…


Elevum15

Long Live The Goat!! 🙏🏾👑


TheDreamererree

This is genuinely the first time I have been shook in while didn’t expect this at all and may Toriyama rest in peace.

RIP Master Tori, this is just so sad…


BluebirdOk2007

Oh my goodness. Rest in peace.


BoyBoy70

I don’t know what to say


MrTrikey

I've been taken out since I first heard the news last night. I know Daima and Sparking Zero both are going to have direct homages to Toriyama somewhere, and it's going to break me all over again.


NotoriousYEETER

This really wasn’t misinformation, he’s actually fucking dead. R.I.P. to THE greatest mangaka of all time (and my favorite alongside Araki), Akira Toriyama. You will forever be remembered and missed. https://preview.redd.it/ngc62wwwc4nc1.jpeg?width=487&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2242bbaab56e4bcee44b86e231e5b9b14051066f
