Akira Toriyama didn't just create a few Mangas and Games. He paved the way for future generations.

Man it’s like losing a piece of our childhood 😞 He was a genius and way ahead of his time! He will forever be a LEGEND! The true OMNI KING 👑

This really broke my heart, DBZ WAS my childhood.

Toyotaro will surely keep Dragon Ball alive! Every DB fan just knows because HE is one of us and actually Akira Toriyama's pupil.

Akira is chilling like a villian with the Zeno Twins

Daima will be the last animation that toriyama will have worked on. Ik it’s art style doesn’t look flashy but please all of us should watch it as a memorium for what he has done in his life. Rip

He will be missed, rest easy Akira Toriyama. Ive known your work since childhood. Your work had a huge impact on my life. Thank you for bringing this to us because without you, there would be NO Dragonball.

I may not be a huge fun of the Dragon Ball franchise but I have huge respect for Akira Toriyama. If it wasn’t for him, anime and manga wouldn’t be popular here in the west. It’s pretty heartbreaking he died so young. May he Rest in Peace.

If it’s to make sure dragon ball super manga will get a proper end, then I’ll put my trust in toyotarou. This was Toriyama last work and needs to do right

The future for dragon ball remains relatively the same. Toyotarou has been basically writting dragon ball super.

No anime has ever had the impact that DragonBall had upon the world, and I don't believe another ever will. Toriyama was unique and a once in eternity type of person, just like Robin Williams. Rest in Peace.

farewell toriyama, you are truly number 1

I have faith Tayotaro will continue toriyama's legacy well and since he's not held beck by the same memory issues as toriyama like forgetting launch and ssj3 i think the series is in good hands besides i personally love the moro and granolah ark despite the haters so i support his work rest easy Toriyama 🙏

Now Akira rides with Shenron to the far future to see his great great grandchildren.

No idea if DBS manga will continue but I would like to see the rest of it being animated but apart from that rest in peace Akira Toriyama

RIP Akira Toriyama - sensei. You will be greatly missed o7. The kids to adults you've inspired are many and will remember you for your work always. As Goku told Goku jr. at the end of GT: It wasn't the dragon ball, It was your love and courage that opened the right doors. Stay Pure, THAT's your order. It's all in Toyotaro - san's hands now to carry on and make Toriyama - sensei proud or close the door on Dragonball as a whole and make something new. I for one will respect whatever he decides.

Toriyama saw something in Toyotarou, enough to make him his successor. If he had faith then I believe we all should. It wont be the same, but it's faith from the creator to live up to be what it should be.

rip Akira Toriyama

For Dragon Ball GT, Toriyama provided original character designs for the main characters, made some illustrations to show the tone of the series, and also designed the spaceship and the logo. Yes, he wasn't involved beyond that but his contribution to GT is something.

I was born in 1990 and grew up watching Dragon Ball when I was in elementary school. Toriyama's death makes me very sad because it feels like my childhood memories are being erased. I think that men from all contemporary countries would feel the same way as me.

I really really hope with all my being that the manga continues/finishes with it getting animated in the near future

2024 IS THE YEAR OF THE DRAGON SHENRON NEEDS HIM RIP TORIYAMA-SENSEI

Rip Akira Toriyama

Rest in peace Akira Toriyama 🕊️🙏🏿

I hope Toyotarou will continue Akira Toriyama’s legacy by continuing the Dragon Ball Franchise with him doing both the Writing and art work of the manga and anime

This happened the day I left for vacation, heart was broken. Rest in peace sensei. You brought joy to my life for so many years. Tell King Yemma I say hello

Rest in Peace Akira Toriyama Sensei and thank you for everything.

He taught us all to believe in ourselves stand up to bullies and to defend the weak. Im simply out of tears the world will miss him

Toyotaro was also a fan mangaka prior to working with Toriyama, he made the entire AF fan manga

Rest in Peace Akira Toriyama. Hopeful Toyotarou continues your legacy.

Tbh I don't think they would let him down. His passing will make dbz even bigger. And I think the future of dbz will be successful

I wonder how many notes and ideas were jotted down before he passed. He said in an interview he had renewed interest in creating more stories with Dragon Ball. It’s not going to be the same without him. I can only imagine what ideas and stories he may have entertained his family and friends and close associates both in his work and normal everyday conversations. His interviews showed him to be a likable unique man.

Rip ultimate anime legend

Hopefully we’ll get a more mature dragon ball where characters actually grow and the stories aren’t recycled versions of the Z era.

It still hurts deeply. It hurt deep when Kazuki Takahashi passed away, but Akira was my all time favorite Manga author of all time. I'm sure Toyotaro will do the series justice. His artwork has been amazing so far. I'm not sure how much of the story actually was his doing and how much was Akira's, but I have faith DB will continue on and we'll get to see plenty of new villains, transformations and amazing renditions of the Manga in Anime form. I'm absolutely certain that Super Hero won't be the final big screen movie. I couldn't even begin to predict what comes next, although it's obvious it will be involving Black Frieza. Either ways I'm looking forward to it all and will without a doubt check both Sand Land out as well as Daima. I could care less if Daima looks childish or what some non fans call babyish. Toryiama worked hard on it and deserves the utmost respect and I plan to give it to him. R.I.P. Toryiama. You'll forever be missed, but NEVER forgotten.

You gudied so many young souls to be hero's thank you for everything Akira Toriyama. You are part of the holy trinity, Bob Ross, Fred Rogers, Steve Irwin, Levar Burton, Akira Toriyama and Jim Henson.

Rest in Peace Akira Toriyama... i hope they will do the Moro Arc and give a finish touch at the end of the series....

Him dying is only gonna stop things momentarily. There's too much money on the brand and they won't let that go.

it will now be fan manga we will see now. ARJ is doing amazing with his ultra vegito story

There are many people that creates stories of their own to go into the franchise they are fan based and I'm sure they would love to work for that company if they were given a chance.

You're wrong about Toriyama not being involved with GT. He was actually pretty hands on at the very beginning, and did characyer designs as well as location designs. I believe he also came up with the name GT (Grand tour) as well as the concept of the first arc This information is out there if you do your research

im still waiting for dragon ball super season 2

I hope toyotora step up his game carry the legacy of toriyama make him proud toyotora ❤

with all my heart i hope Dragon ball super will continue with Toyotaru as a tribute to Toriyama

Toriyama thank you for the inspiration you gave me and everyone we hope you are in a better place now ❤❤❤

I miss him so much! He was an inspiration to us all!

Tezuka may be the god of manga but Toriyama was the KING of manga.

Rip Akira sensie 😢😢😢u will be never forgotten until we die

R.I.P dragon ball

I was hoping to see the other universes and the enemy that killed jirens family

I think they should wrap up the current arc and call it quits. If they do anything more change the focus to Gohan and Goten.

I don't wanna believe it's true. Why didn't he have to die? He was such a great man. I loved Him and His work so much. Fucking damn it, why the fuck did he have to die?

Dragon Ball is going to live on, DUH!!!! Im suffering hard but we as a community, with everyone doing what ifs and fan animation he united the world. I think he would be proud of all the fan stuff. He changed our life's and gave us strength. We all have gone super sayain. Thank you Toriyama. 30 years ago you changed my life.

I got a feeling lots of vegeta fans will be super happy soon as vegeta will start getting alot of wins after this. Being a goku fans, we can only be sad akira is no more there to stop it.

"Shocking demise" ????????

Super is in good hands with Toyotaro, I’m sure his first few chapters working alone will be an adjustment period, since he’s used to having Toriyama as his mentor, but I think he’ll still knock it out of the park

Being that it's his Idol he may actually continue it out of respect for him to keep his legacy going.

With his master gone, toya taru should have an insatiable motivation to carry out his LEGACY!

Lets not forget the 1986 dragon quest monsters looking a lot similar to pokemon gen 1

*super needs to wrap itself up out of respect for him*

Well it died with him tbh. The direction it goes won't go the way it is truly meant to go.

I don't think that Dragon Ball will disappear but I think Toyotarou needs to expand the writer and artist group.

i hope they don't destroy the franchise now

Heart broken as a fan I always said it wasn't over there is more to come after GT So may thoughts cross my mind what could happen the possibilities. Now that he passed away my heart loses that hope for more to the story

Toyotaro was not the only artist that could replicate it was also young jiijii and dragongaro Lee so ya they were also able to do them same.

Sensei the reason i start drawing. Rest now Sensei.

Good question since the Super anime hasn't continued since 2018 (2019) in the USA anime wise but DQ3's 2D/HD remake doesn't have a release date and he helped design the party members/monsters in those games same with Chrono Trigger which still doesn't have a PS4 PS5 Switch port at all.

vegeta finally will get the respect and recognition it deserves

We are losing so many legends it's really devastating we lost technoblade matpat is retiring now Toriyama is dead now I'm even bracking down as I'm writing this but I hope Toriyama's family are ok R.I.P AKIRA TORIYAMA 💔✝️🙏

they can end it BUT... they would have to really consider Toriyama would have wanted this generation to enjoy Dragonball as well.. I mean that's why he was allowing it and toyotarou was basically his protege and I'm sure he told him some of his goals for the direction of the show.. but that's not so easy when you actually are around someone who was pretty much your family has passed

I really hope that he had some kind of outline of where the wanted to take the series going forward, like a "series bible" or some such, with broad strokes, or specifics... And wasn't just completely winging it? If not, I hope that whoever picks it up next, if anyone [and I doubt anyone will let such a profitable and well-known franchise rest or go to seed], will continue to do it justice and carry forward existing storylines / character & power progressions in a sensible way...

I personally hope that Toyotarou wraps it up to "end of Z" with one or two more arcs. If he continues I hope there's Toribot cameos to pay homage.

Toyotarou may have to finish the story left off by Toriyama. We're only missing a writer, but everything else they can always adapt. Considering the plot holes already expanded between Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball GT, don't know if Uub will ever introduce at the end.

Good thing i was already heartbroken

I wish we can somehow preserve his consciousness or brain so that he be with us just even if a while longer

I'm sure they will do more but it might be the last of what they have worked on. There might be a way to end what is currently happening will end. Then after they may keep things close to what it was like yet put to rest some of the story so they can keep something going.

I think the answer has been pretty obvious. It's going to continue under Toyotarou's direction.

I think Toriyama would have wanted Goku and the gang to keep on fighting! So I hope Super and Dragonball return.

The animation are really great and details No other like. The mags I belive are just pictures no writing pic The story xxx

Toyotaro your our grand master now🙏 please lead us to great battles

They need to make movie about him

Fun Fact: Oda-Sensei has called Toriyama a god, and has drawn inspiration from Toriyama. That's how influential this man is.

Rest In Peace, god creator sensei

With toriyama's untimely passing, the authenticity of the dragonball story following Goku and his friends has officially concluded. I'm glad toriyama finished his story of dragonball the way he wanted and gave us new stories through the story arcs of super and diama. I'll continue to read the super manga, since it already has an established end through Toriyama's vision. What comes after super, will be something very artificial without Toriyama being around to oversee it. How I see it, after toriyama's untimely passing, the dragon ball franchise should just retire the character Goku and company, and start fresh with new characters within the same universe of dragon ball in order to preserve Goku's true legacy. Have Goku appear every now and again but not be a main character. I think with a cast of new characters, it would make things much easier for Toyotaru to incorporate his own ideas which will not be contrary to how toriyama had written his own created characters, which he knows better than anybody. Also, this could mitigate fans from feeling too judgemental since the new characters will not be the ones they are familiar with. But in honestly, having seen how the dragon ball franchise has handled different stories without toriyama overseeing it over the years, does not set well with me of how well the franchise would continue over the years.

Rest in paradise to the real legendary super saiyin Akira Toriyama

As long as there are colors to pick up for the hair...

Not gunna lie they're probably gonna make somebody do the episodes B.

As long as they don't license it to Disney or make Dragon Ball GT cannon and leave it as a separate cotinuity then I'm okay with anything they do with Dragon Ball as long as they respect the source material and the Creator.

It should end now before someone will ruin it. And trust me, they will ruin it. 😊

So much GT misinformation it’s baffling

RIP legand

RIP Legend

I’m sure Toriyama’s successor able to continue the Super series, good or bad don’t matter. There so much Goku, Vegeta and all the characters to grow more powerful and new characters friends, rivals for Goku to challenge. More Xenoverse episode continue.

sorry to say this but the original Dragon Ball Manga is were the story ends. super doesn't look and feel that serious it's more like a cartoon than an anime😢

it's over. and let it be over. we've seen what happens when corporate pulls the strings.

Why does it sound like ai is reading this. His announciations for certain words like wiz sounds like its an ai script

Sad day in the dragon ball community this is a sad day Akira toriyama got people into anime and got inti dragon ball fandom This is upsetting and shocking wsdnt expected this Again why both David Attenborough and Ruth langsford mother both late 90s are still alive which is shocking what's keeping these old people alive really shocking and numb and really cant get ovrr this as never knew he dided 68 is not young 68 old is old look at people in 60s both die away Really upsetting never happened unexpected wow this is really upsetting ans cabt process this Dragon ball got me into anime if it wsdnt for dragon ball i would never got into smime so i thank akira san for all his work snd condolences to his family and friends thos difficult timr So now no more whats the future of dragon ball daima or dragon ball super manga who knowdThis is shocking dudnt expect thst wow this is latterly shocking and upsetting abd rip toriyama sensei Manay condolence to his family and friends through this difficult time The community must be in shock Am in shock This is sad day in the anime world So no dragon ball daima or future works This is deeply sad day in the dragon ball community

Even if the show continues, I can't with good conscience watch it anymore. Without him here we will NEVER finish the show the way we were supposed to. Out of respect, they should end the show and leave it at that as they already have with so many other shows but DBZ being the cashcow it is, I doubt they will respect his passing.

A legend has fallen 😭😭

Cant we use dragon balls to revive him?
