Damn I can’t even right now. Dragonball Z was my main entry into Anime in the mid 90’s before Toonami/CN picked it up. Fuck…
I didn't look at BG or much news yesterday and now I look and suddenly this comes out of left field.
This is a big one.

The DBZA boys will do something for this, count on it. RIP.
My buddies literally woke me up a short bit ago go tell me this. Out of all the bs deaths old grim pulls out its ass this one is by far the most bs.
Hematoma is brain bleeding as well; dont think he was even sick, he probably had a nasty head injury and just didn't survive
This was way too sudden. Everyone knows a main character death scene is good for 10 episodes.
The sad thing is they already wished him back once for Super, you can't wish him back again.
Damn RIP. This one really came out of left field.
It’s not an exaggeration to say Toriyama probably had the single biggest influence with the popularity of anime today in the US.
Thinking about how, as a little 9 year old watching random dragon Ball z episodes on Sundays cause I could never figure out the air schedule, this man influenced my tastes in art.
RIP, you're the first one we're bringing back with the dragon balls

We need the super dragon balls on this one. They break the resurrection limit rules. On a more serious note though it's possible his brain bleed could of stemmed from brain surgery last month and went unnoticed
It's not as likely as straight up knocking his head. That's also why they called it acute.
the Bob Saget death
That just sucks, and he wasn't juust dragonball y'know. He did the character designs for Chrono Trigger and Dragon Quest, which makes this a loss for RPG Gamers everywhere too.
A slime draws near. Command?
Rest in peace Akria Toriyama.

straight sobbing rn. my rpg career began with dragon warrior. chrono trigger changed my life. rip akira and thank you so much for everything
Still alive but apparently not long for this world. TMZ interviewed her step-father (make your own joke) and said she was NOT a victim of OD as originally thought but she had a cardiac arrest. He said she had only weighed 80 pounds when she checked in to rehab facility 8 days prior to hospitalization. She has been on a ventilator and in coma for several days.
Jesus, if not an OD, cardiac arrest at that weight says what, anorexia?

Anorexia.
A day later and my timeline is still bursting with Toriyama send offs. Even the Chinese Government officially mourned him. ngl, reading and seeing some of that stuff was getting me misty eyed.
The amount of influence his works have had is unreal. Been seeing posts on random subreddits like Godzilla and FF16 and much more
