Not sure what this means for the future of the manga or the upcoming series but he created something that millions of people watched all over the globe and was a giant success. Hope he passed peacefully.

We just need to collect all seven Dragonballs and wish him back, right?

His name should be on the same level as Stan Lee as far as impact on comics/superheroes genre

I’m not a big DB or DBZ guy anymore but hard to deny the dude was a legend. He created something that had such a huge impact on a lot of different generations. What a legacy

Oh shite man. Damn. This sucks. His work on the DBS movies showed the dude still has it.

He did train a successor so we have someone to carry his torch going forward, but man no one was better at page layouts than Toriyama. The dude was seriously the goat at displaying action despite the restrictions the medium had.

I know nothing of Dragonball, but X sure has it trending.

Anyone know the how he passed? Seems to have caught most folks off guard.

RIP legend

The guy definitely went on to live amongst the Kais with the rest of the great heroes from history.


Guess now without him to protect it we’ll get another shitty live adaptation of DB.

Damn. RIP.

Watching Gohan turn Super Saiyan 2 for the first time is probably my favorite moment in tv history.
