Dragon Ball Super Discussion Thread 100

[Omegabronic]

i.......don't even feel sad, it sunk in, i......feel empty, i feel a void, i...........the guy who helped me be the "me" of today, who made me see manga and anime for the first time, that made me play my first game, that made me come here in VSBW for the first time and meet a lot of people who are my friends.....gone, just like that

i am feeling uncertainty for his work going foward, i feel sad that we will never see what left he had planned, even never meeting him, i will feel it, he was important to me, even if he never knew my name, i had so much hard moments that i was able to pass through because of him, even if Dragon Ball is not my favorite series, it still was one of, if not THE most important, so much of what i like today is tied to him in some way, it doesn't feel real, it doesn't feel right, it doesn't feel like reality

i want him to be at peace, i want him to forever rest, knowing that his legacy will never be forgotten, just like with the old classics like Shakespeare, his works will forever be in the imaginative, forever be referenced, and luckily, be considered in the studies of literature as well, i dunno how to end this, the emptiness will go away eventually, but i will forever remember this moment, where someone who helped me so dearly went away......and God, i will miss him

How do you make Dr. Slump, making millions of dollars off of its massive success, then do Dragon Quest, do Dragon Ball, do ****** Chrono Trigger, all in one lifetime?

This man truly was the goat.

 

[RedReaper616]

In response to the news I’ve sat thinking, I’ve cried, and I’ve reflected. And I still can’t believe it. The man was a pillar to my life. My childhood and onward, and so even though I know it’s true, I can’t believe the information. It hasn’t truly sunk in.

But I do know this. Despite what many will say, Toriyama wasn’t just ONE of the Greatest Mangaka of all time. No, he was the absolute BEST—Number One. And no one can take that title from him.

We’ll see you in Other World, and may your trip to King Kai’s be swift, Toriyama.

....... This can't be real

 

[SirAlex09]

Apparently it was a subdural hematoma which is usually caused by physical trauma...

RIP legend. You changed the lifes of millions of people

 

[LNZO19]

Rest in peace GOAT. Legit haven't cried in years till I heard this.

 

[Dark_Soul20189]

Rest in peace Akira Toriyama, You were my childhood.

 

[RinneItachi]

Tragedy strikes quickly. An unprecedented loss that will ache the hearts of millions no doubt. He was an icon, dare I say a legend. A pioneer of an entire genre of fictional media, whose legacy is one that almost anyone would dream of. It's hard to believe and still feels surreal. Dragon Ball was a pivotal part of my own childhood. It brought anime into the Western scene and was a true life-changer. Wouldn't be who I am today without it.

Nonetheless, it is better to be happy that we had him and his works in our lives rather than to be sad that he is now gone, as all things leave eventually. Positive memories of what he gave to the world are what he would want.

Truly a legacy that will live on eternally.

 

[NishizumiShiho]

I can't say anything, he's my childhood and for the rest of my life, I'll remember his name.

Rest In Peace, Akira Toriyama. We will miss you, sensei. Have fun training with Kaio-sama and Dai-Kai-sama up there!

 

[LuffyRuffy46307]

I think a profile like Tori-Bot would be a beautiful tribute to our dear Akira

Sincerely, there is no way to continue without him in Dragon Ball, he is the smile of Dragon Ball, now the only thing left to miss is the father of fiction

 

[Quantu]

Wow. I still can't comprehend
it. RIP to an absolute legend.

What was the cause of death?

 

[Phsccarvalho]

What was the cause of death?

Acute Subdural Hematoma

 

[The_Unknown_Warrior1]

What was the cause of death?

Subdural Hematoma was what the official cause was. Basically as a result of head trauma, the blood vessels in Toriyama's brain bursted open and begin to pool between his skull and the surface of his brain, which damages tissue as its being pushed against the brain.

Meaning that not only did Toriyama die, he didn't really die peacefully or painlessly

But we have no info on the cause of that? Just speculations for known causes to this issue?

Thanks for everything Toriyama, may you rest in peace. You may be gone but as long as everything you made continues to be loved worldwide, we'll have a part of you that will never die. I can't describe how much dragon ball has meant for me since the time I became a fan not so long ago and I know there are many others who share this sentiment and I hope he knows the impact he has had on millions.

 

[BlastX]

May he rest in peace and be in a better place now

I wonder what caused said head trauma... This is so ******* sad man

 

[Ednaxel2]

I hope all is well for his family and people he has been friends with

Dont give them attention, they want a reaction and if you give it, it's gonna continue

I know, that's why i want the channel to be taken down.

This is depressing man, I spoke on the news and announcement thread but I can't man. Dragon Ball was the first anime I watched and it still remains at my top list. Going into gaming, the hours me and my brother played Budokai 2 and 3 then the Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and 3 games is freaking outrageous. Akira's work touched the hearts of many and it brings tears to my eyes, I can't believe he's gone. I woke up today feeling ok but after hearing this news, it leaves a hole in my heart.

Respect to the man that made countless childhoods great, RIP Akira Toriyama, the OG.

Akira is the father of fiction, he will always live in our hearts.

Dragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is very good, 3 too, 1 was the one I found least attractive, but it was good too

I know we're supposed to live in the here and now while not taking each passing day for granted but after such a tragic passing of another pop culture maestro, I completely empathise with those who just wish to go back in time and embrace full on childhood nostalgia once more.

I dunno the world just feels like it keeps going to shit and I'm still trying to process a reality where things have changed yet part of me refuses to accept it (I don't think I nor many others will be able fully accept Akira Toriyama's passing).

We should revamp all our profiles that are outdated with better formating and reference's and notes & explanations

 

[LuffyRuffy46307]

I agree with this, leave several things to state such a thing, that looks good to me

 

[RedReaper616]

I’m concerned about Toyotaro. He was a fan, like all of us, before he became the Successor to Toriyama’s vision. The shoes he has to fill, the hole in his life that’s been created, the impact on his soul—It has to be unimaginable. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Jump still forced him to churn out a Chapter this month. Or, vice versa, he took a break this month.

Looking at those pages, those characters, knowing who made them, and who put you in that position to BE his Successor is GONE? I couldn’t work on it, even if I wanted to.

I too agree with this, we should also replace the renders with actual manga appearances of the characters instead of just recolors to make it look like that. There's plenty to find

As his successor it's probably time for him to fully take the mantle once he's mentally well enough. Hope if there is a chapter in the upcoming months it's out of his volition and or that he takes a break if needed.

 

[Magicomethkuon]

why did you do this to me

 

[Ednaxel2]

What was that wiki with the weird scaling for db and manga renders for the characters? Codex wiki?
