you know it's impactful when someone who doesn't know his name goes from just utterly confused to absolutely devastated in a single sentence

Toriyama was a very private person, and I personally haven't even heard his voice and I've been watching Dragon Ball for over a decade. It's understandable that you wouldn't recognize his name, but when you find out who he was everything changes. Rest in peace Akira Toriyama, you were the legend that forged legends.

RIP to the father of anime, when I woke up in the morning and found this out, it was a sad day

Dragon Ball broken the international barrier, and impacted loads of ppl RIP the Legend ...

Brian is not even that into anime but even he grew up on Dragon Ball

The fact he felt bad for not knowing his name, legend

Everybody loves Akira Toriyama for DB and DBZ but don't forget his other creations, Dragon Quest / Dragon Warrior (for the Nes), and the XB 360 Exclusive game "Blue Dragon". and "Sand Land" (manga) He gave up drawing Manga after he lost his favourite pen after finishing up Sand Land and the new one didn't feel the same way. So he used that as an excuse to for hardly drawing any manga (A Very Toriyama thing to say xD) He revealed this while giving his thoughts about the Sand Land manga getting an anime film adaptation.

You guys will never understand how big Dragon Ball is on Latin America. Everyone here is heartbroken. Rip to a true king, the grandfather of anime. Without him there would be no One Piece, no MHA, no JuJutsu Kaisen, no Demon Slayer, nothing. Its all thanks to him.

He was a good man I imagine may he rest in piece and very passionate about his work and I will admit I didn’t really knew about him too much but I imagine he loved what he was making R.I.P Akira💔

The background music went perfect here. RIP Akira Toriyama.

Shonen Jump Animes should do a crossover episode where all Shonen Characters meet for a funeral or something. (Would be hard to pull off but would be a good tribute)

RIP Akira Toriyama. Me and my brother use to watch DBZ all the time when were young.

If it wasn’t for Akira Toriyama Anime wouldn’t be as popular as it’s been nowadays, a true legend in the anime industry, and a pioneer of anime as a whole. RIP

So many creators from our childhood are passing and my heart just goes out to the families 🥺💛

He definitely got his recognition in Japan and Mexico, that's for sure.

When I read the news about Akira Toriyama's death, I was very surprised. Dragon Ball was a part of my childhood and it's thanks to this man who now rests in peace. Thank you Toriyama-sama

Dragon ball was one of the shows me and my dad bonded over, to hear the original creator himself pass actually broke my heart dispite not being all into dragon ball sometimes. May he rest in peace and bring even more adventures in his new life!

Seeing someone go who's that? To immediately being devastated after knowing who Toriyama is just shows how impactful he was on everyone's lives. Rip Akira Toriyama.

This man quite literally permanently altered pop culture in ways few have.

RIP Akira the lives you touched are in the millions!! The creator of One piece said that he's floating up there with his own Nimbus cloud

Rest in Peace to the Anime/Manga legend Akira Toriyama.

The news hit me like a train then the train hit me going in reverse 😔😭🙏🐉🕊 rip akira toriyama may you rest on king kais planet

R.I.p to Akira Toriyama 😢 Thanks man for sharing You are a real man 😭🙏

The Persona Music is perfect

Rest in piece Toriyama-sama. You inspired so many with your work both viewers and manga authors alike

From the bottom of my heart thank you for creating dragon ball and you deserve the rest 😢😭

OGDB will forever be the best story i had ever seen before getting into One Piece. OGDB was my first ever anime knowing it was a anime and i wouldn't have gotten into One Piece without db cause i only tried one piece cause Chris who plays Vegeta plays Zoro in One Piece. i fell off hard in the Cell saga but GT, DBZK and Super brought back my love of DB years later. Thank You Akira Toriyama for what you created and who you inspired R.I.P i hope you can make it to the end of Snake Way without any trouble ❤

Dragon ball was the only anime i watched but i never considered it anime it was always a cartoon in my eyes and the best damn one at that

RIP Akira toriyama 😢 The creator of Dragonball Z

I remember I woke up the minute they posted it it was 9pm for me I was waking up for work and it came as a shock my childhood 😢

petition to have a gmod video themed of dragon ball in honor of akira

It was a really sad lost to all of us since he was the main one creating the dragon ball franchise

You are so patient, keep being you

It feels unreal whenever it's bought up, gosh 😢

The persons 5 ost fits any sad moment.

Seeing on Twitter all the of other manga creators and games posting about how their anime or game wouldn’t be the same without it from the inspiration of dragon ball

R.I.P the G.o.a.t if it wasn't for Dragon ball alot of the popular manga/anime today most likely wouldn't have been made because he inspired so many creators

He made a huge impact in my life🕊️❤️

I cant believe i went this long without knowing he passed bro R.I.P Akira Toriyama an absolute legend and created one of the best anime ever

if it wasn’t for akira i wouldn’t be so in love with anime dragon ball z was my first anime i have ever watched

I was in massive shock also when I heard about this. Much love ma dood. ❤️

I remember my first exposure to Dragonball; Nintendo Official Magazine was doing a spread on Japanese-only fighting games and there were a couple of Dragonball for the SNES. So they did a background on each of the characters and my first sight of Son Goku was in the centre pages. I now own the entire Dragonball and Dragonball Z series (Manga dub editions).

Farewell Toriyama, you are number 1

He was a living legend, he will be missed and never forgotten.

RIP Akira Toriyama Thank you for everything 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

Akira Toriyama created so many things in his lifetime that were enjoyed by people all over the planet. You can throw a pebble into a crowd of people, and have a somewhat decent chance of that person having experienced SOMETHING he was a part of, either directly or indirectly.

May he rest in peace 🪦 in the spirit realm 🙏🏾🕊️

He was a legend the absolute GOAT

Akira Toriyama's departure leaves a void felt by millions. We extend our gratitude for the enduring inspiration and unparalleled storytelling over the years. He remains a true luminary, celebrated for his remarkable artistry, captivating narratives, and profound influence.

Remember when he was so appalled by the live action dragonball movie that he created Dragon Ball Super and gave us Ultra Instinct.

So sad he will always be in our hearts.

Brings a tear to my eye every time I see something related to Toriyamas passing, a true legend 😢

When you see your childhood slowly pass away, you feel like you're really aging. Little by little, things become unrecognizable from what you remember. It's a melancholic feeling.

RIP to the absolute goat of all anime, the man that set the standards for so many anime titles we love today, you will be loved and missed akira toryamma😢

At first, I couldn't believe it. It was exactly the day his death was announced. I was doing a quick check on KZfaq, and then, a comment notification saying "RIP Akira Toriyama" appeared from nowhere. I thought "Akira Toriyama WHAT?!?", so I headed to Google News, which unfortunately proved my suspicions, that he had been dead for almost a week (however the fact that there was so much silence about the Dragon Ball franchise except for theories, recaps, etc. gave that stinky sensation), but the way Japan's privacy laws are... Anyway, Dragon Ball was one of the first animes I watched and loved since I was a child. Toriyama did an extremely excellent job by making such a masterpiece series. I miss him already.

Forever remember, the goat

I was also disappointed to have not known the Legend's name, and to have only found out about his death 9 days later. Rest In Peace Akira Toriyama.🙏

Rest in peace you absolute legend.

RIP father of manga. We'll never forget you.

He will be miss for the best show in my life time for a while

At least he put his picture at the end😢

And it happened on the first day of March. Literally at the changing of the seasons. I couldn't believe it.

May he Rest In Peace

Love your video and RIP in him

A true king indeed, millions and millions of children were raised and inspired by his work.

That’s how I was. I have hella chapters hella movies and seasons but I never remembered his name till it happened 😢

I never watched Dragon Ball but when I heard about his passing I was just as devastated as everyone else because I know that without him I wouldn’t have a lot of my favourite anime So I’m honour of him I’m finally going to start watching Dragon Ball

Toriyama is one of the greatest to ever do it. Yk how crazy it is when the creator of Astro Boy calls you an “heir apparent”. It’s amazing that not only the anime community but the whole world came together to mourn the death of one Japanese man. One series alone impacting the whole world like that speaks volumes. RIP🕊️🙏

RIP to a legend

I wished he lived another year or even another month 😭

It's not totally your fault if you didn't recognize his name Akira was very private for someone who had such a huge impact there's like a handful of footage and pics of him RIP to the goat

Akira toriyama is a personal person. He is not very open to the public so makes sense why not much people knew him. But he is the creator, he wrote the stories.

R.I.P legend

He will be missed R.I.P King

The persona music just makes it all real.

It's a very, VERY strange situation we find ourselves in. Many of us have never seen the man. Some of us might not even know his name. But the moment it's announced he passed away and that he created our favourite story, it's like reverse amnesia, suddenly everything connects and we realise how important this man was and because of his private nature, it seemed so understated. I've always been aware of him, seem a couple of pictures, but it was only after he passed away I looked at an interview of him from 1983 and I realised I'd never heard him speak or even seen him in motion. He seemed like such a cool guy. Didn't want the fame, just wanted to create.

I didn't know who Akira Toriyama was until I watched TeamFourStar's 2nd DBCember back in 2015, and started to learn more about how manga and mangakas work

I’m still sad about it 🤧

Oh neat, I never thought I’d hear Persona music in a Terroriser livestream.

😢

Brian's reaction at first was who who who who wait a minute nooooooo

Rip to a legend for make are childhood and even know the best with the creation of dragon ball!!

If were you . ...i could have stoped everything and pay a minute Homage to the Legend....cuz that Guy Truely deserve all the Positive Energy ,Prayers and love ...for creating such a Remarkable greatest Anime of all Time ....❤ RIP Tsen Sei ❤🎉🙏🙏

The Persona 5 music is kinda fitting.

If it weren't for him We wouldnt have the "Meet my Boy". Rest in Peace Akira Toriyama, Thank you for making our Childhood❤

Even hes the creater of Dragon ball he was one of the greatest and created beerus

I need to watch Terroriser's MC streams

I found out 30 minutes before bed the night they announced it....

I’m 35 and first started watching Dragon Ball at 6, and always knew his name then. 😊. He and Shigeru Miyamoto were the 2 Japanese names that I could never forget growing up and then later as I grew up it was Hideo Kojima was the next one. Oh God I love Japan.

RIP my goat

i'm scared about the voice actors for years but damn his dead hits hard

I won't never forget march 07... It' feels like "May the 4th", for me...😔

David ain’t gonna let you live that one down Brian…

Wow, how do you not know. It's in the credits

Rip goat

Rip to the father of our anime childhood 🙏

this hurt to find out

You know he was a big guy when someone who talks about his distasted/disinterest in japanese animation culture, is also deeply mournful of his passing

RIP to the G.O.A.T

Man had the same reaction that I had.
