There’s at least 5 threads on the coli dedicated to his death. If that doesn’t tell you how much influence he had on young brehs in 90s …..:wow:

Real talk I grew up drawing DBZ pics I found on Lycos fansites that ultimately led me to art school where when I applied for my first grant I mentioned him and Matt Groening as influences in my application. I remember the first time I went to Japan, standing in line at customs with the rep asking me where I planned on staying. Before I could say anything my friend blurts out, “What you’re gonna say Goku’s house”

I say all that to say, Toriyama birthed the Shounen battle genre and created something that not only impacted anime as a whole but a whole ass generation of young males globally. :mjcry:


Enjoy your time with the Kaioshins, Tori-Yams.
