    I’m more sad than I expected. He influenced a lot of my younger years more than I realized. To think some nobody in the Midwest can feel sadness for a great man in the other side of the world.

    You will be mised Toriyama. Thank you for.the beautiful stories.

    I was not expecting to be so upset hearing this news. I grew up watching dbz in some of the most turbulent times of my life. I watched his TV shows and saw how the characters in the show always prevailed time and time again over those who tried to harm them. It very much did not mirror my childhood, but it gave me a much needed distraction from real life, and made me believe that there were actually good things in the world, and not just pain and suffering.

    RIP Mr. Toriyama, you saved me even though you never knew me.

    Chrono Trigger got me through some hard times. I maxxed every characters’ levels and stats that I could with tabs. Didn’t dupe or hack, only stole them. That’s how many times I played, over and over. I’m going to start another playthrough now… (ू˃̣̣̣̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣̣̣̣ ू)

    I have lots of great memories of watching Dragonball with my brother. I don’t watch anime anymore, but no doubt it had a great influence on both of us, and I’ll cherish it forever. His work will always have a special place in my heart.
    Rest in peace, and thanks for everything.

    Dragonball will always have a very special place in my heart. You’ll be remembered for as long as I’m alive at least, Toriyama. Rest in peace.
