I am absolutely guttered about the news of Toriyama's passing. I've never cried for the death of someone famous, as I don't feel that anyone has ever meant that much to me outside of my friends and family. But when I found out about this, I was traveling and didn't believe it at first. I sat on the plane with the Dragon Ball music playing in my ears and I was completely overwhelmed with emotion. I couldn't believe my own feelings, but as the days have gone by it has made more and more sense. Dragon Ball- its story and its characters; they have been living inside me since I was a child. I didn't know the man himself, but his work helped me grow into who I am today. Knowing he's gone, I feel my eyes well up and my heart break. I don't know what else to say for now. I already made this remake as part of my next batch of covers, and wanted to share it with all of you in celebration of Akira Toriyama and the tale that he told. I wish to make something special to commemorate him, but I want to take my time with it. I hope we all see him in other world one day so we can thank him for everything.

Who says it has to be the final one

Dragon Ball has touched so many lives. I'm truly grateful for Akira Toriyama.

It’s both heartbreaking and heartwarming to see Goku with little Gohan on the Nimbus. It reminds me of when these two had no true worries; Goku would just train, and Gohan was just a pure hearted little boy. Rest in peace, Akira Toriyama. Thank you for all those awesome moments with Goku and Gohan, and the rest of the Dragon Team 🙏

I'm grateful to have been born in time to witness the Dragon Ball franchise. RIP Akira Toriyama.

R.I.P Toriyama-sensei, the absolute G.O.A.T of anime. You helped a lot of great people thrive, raised a whole generation, and single-handedly saving a bunch of lives with your amazing work of art.❤️

All the other “all time” mangaka’s fully and willingly say all the time he was their inspiration, and that without him FMA, OP, Naruto, Bleach, YGO, and all of them in between wouldn’t exist as they do.

RIP Akira Toriyama, glad to see this music perfectly fits his outstanding legacy!

It hurts even more because Toriyama clearly loved his work like it was another child to him. Granted he forgot a lot of things, but the way he spoke about his work, his involvement in animated projects, and the fact he started it with the inspiration from his wife’s love of Chinese mythology. He was THE pioneer of anime and made it such an acceptable medium in television, paving the way for other artists and manga writers to make other amazing works of art. All I can say is he will be missed. You go to heaven Toriyama and teach them dinosaurs how to ride a ball.

He actually said he didn’t like dragon ball approaching the end of Z. He would have ended the series after frieza, because like as a manga artist is brutal as he need to create weekly content, but sooooo many people and companies depend on dragon ball content that he had to keep extending the manga, finally stopping at Buu. PS: dragon ball Z is half the revenue of the company making the anime, ending dragon ball would be terrible for business

However, if Toriyama sensei actually did end DB at Piccolo's defeat, or Frieza's defeat, or Cell's, then we would never have had iconic scenes and characters such as Super Saiyan, SS2 Gohan, the Fusion Dance or Vegito. Sometimes serendipity has its way of doing things. If DB never had those iconic moments and characters, because the publisher egged Toriyama sensei to continue, then Dragonball would never have reach its current legendary status. One could say that not only do we have Toriyama sensei to thank for our childhood, but his supervisors and his publishers too, for getting Toriyama sensei go that extra mile, even when he didn't want to. If we remember his life before his debut, Toriyama sensei originally did manga just for money, but because of the way other people around him pushed him, or encouraged him to go further, the world got a great childhood and memories, even when everything else in life sucked.

amazing brother!

Goodbye Toriyama Sensei🕊️

Farewell Toriyama sensei. Thank you for making all of our childhoods that much better. we can't wait to see you again..... on the next episode of Dragon. Ball. Z!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goodbye Akira Toriyama. You gave us some of the most memorable characters. The gentle, yet strong Gohan, the serious family man, Piccolo, The prideful Prince of the Saiyans, Vegeta, and most importantly, the Saiyan raised on Earth, Son Goku. Thank you for the memories Mr. Toriyama. Your legacy will be remembered as one of the best manga artists and the creator of the one and only..... Dragon Ball.

RIP Akira Toriyama. You're a legend for uniting us all with DBZ.

No matter what side of the world you were on, what sort of interpretation you had, or what entry point into the franchise that you came from, we can all agree that the legacy of the man who made it all was massive, unique, and far-reaching, even beyond his main field. Here's hoping we can all look past our disparate points of view to respect that. As even the world is looking past their own usual barriers at this time. The outpouring we've seen so far across the internet and other media around the world is more than proof enough of this. This was truly a magnificent remake, and I have a lot to say about what went into it, but for now, it's time to remember what Toriyama's work meant to each of us who experienced and were enthralled by it at some point in our lives.

It sends so much hope vibes at the start, MAAAAN WHAT AN ART, Rest in Peace AKIRA TORIYAMA, May we Meet AGAIN

I went and looked this up when I saw a news article about how toonami reserved an entire block for just dbz kai in tribute of toriyama, godspeed to that beautiful bastard, he made so much more of an impact than most of us could ever hope to

That intro gave me chills

Thank you Akira Toriyama ❤

Toriyama gave us belief that where we come from doesn't define who we are. That every one of us has this strength to keep on fighting no matter the challenge. And he started it all with a story of a little boy with a tail. May his time in otherworld be only the start of a new great adventure. Beautiful piece of homage also, like, DAM.

R.I.P my savior from the world made dragon ball and motivated me so much to work harder and push through my limits and showing me how to go even further beyond.🙏🏾😢We love you Toriyama

It's such a Tragedy that he's gone he was a private who didn't like the outside world like that but that private man still had a heart so much creativity and was passionate about his work we will all morn for awhile but instead of thinking about the bad things that have happened including Toriyama death we should the good memories that he gave all of us with his creations and even though he may be gone his legacy will live through dragonball we thank you Toriyama for all that you gave the earth will miss😢🙏🐉. And thank you gladius for the remakes we really appreciate the time effort you in to these I'm only a 15 year old kid I still see when people have passion for something and every time I listen to your music I can feel it please keep up the OVER 9000 work that you've been putting in we all appreciate what you have done thank you.

Tears are falling. It's a Saijan's feeling

Why is the intro to this so fucking wholesome

Dragon Ball was one of the gateway animes for me. It's funny to look back at the fact that as a pretty young Gen Z teenager I first watched the OG Dragon Ball instead of skipping to a later point (it's probably because of the fact I always liked watching things chronologically). I'm honestly grateful because I got to see Goku's original journey firsthand. Rest in peace, Akira Toriyama. Thank you for creating a franchise that I and many others love and can be inspired by.

This has touched so many peoples hearts, and this is a really good send off for the passing of the The Legend Akira Toriyama. He has brought us the best of everything that shows everyone the spectacular things. Even the music is really nice. ❤❤❤❤

Rest in peace toriyama let your characters and stories live on forever
