To those who have not yet heard, Akira Toriyama has passed away at 68 due to a subdural hematoma.

It's an UNDERSTATEMENT to say this is the greatest lost we've had in a while. The impact he has had in the art world as a whole is gigantic and something I will not see achieved by anyone else in a while.

He was THE reason I ever even picked up a pencil as a kid when I saw dragon ball for the first time, and when my mom bought me a manga of DBZ as a kid.

I owe all my talent to him.

He will be missed, but never EVER forgotten.

Rest in peace, Akira Toriyama 1955-2024
