I never watched any other anime, but I've seen every episode of DB, even Super.

He created something that transcended the genre and became a part of mainstream culture. I'd say that he's responsible for a lot of people becoming anime fans, as DB was the first thing they watched.

Even putting aside his influence on Anime, Toriyama influenced a lot of what we have artistically for JRPGs too, working as an artist for Dragon Quest from start to current times, and Crono Trigger which is one of the big classics.

I remember when I was growing up, I tried to draw Goku a lot as a kid, and Piccolo, and was generally good enough at it. But it always felt like I was missing something. The man had a way with the pen, and he will never be forgotten.
