Damn, probably one of the first times I've really felt a celebrity death hit me. Sucks when someone goes when they're not even that old.

This is not what I expected and is tragic.

What i do wonder is what happens to his other ongoing projects like Dragon Ball Super and the upcoming Dragon Quest games. If it is like Berserk, either someone has a script for if something happened to him or he has someone who can take his place easily. Dragon Quest may be a bit difficult depending how far along 12 is in.

We wouldn't have a lot of anime or even games without his work influencing others.

isn't super manga already made by his understudy anyways?

I'm surprised he was only 68. The guy had been a major player/influence for decades. RIP to him.

Dragon Quest was pretty much the biggest RPG influence in my life and his characters and designs will always be special to me.
RIP :(

I figured that Toriyama has creative control and oversees it. But maybe that's why he has someone else making Super in the first place. To prepare them.

I wonder how they're going to work with the Dragon Quest games though..

It has been a split effort in a lot of areas, but Toyo has taken on more creative stuff over time.

Toriyama worked closely with him, and the story was also likely based on an outline provided by Toriyama.

There's also the fact that Toriyama was heavily involved with the upcoming DAIMA.That's probably mostly done already, but I wonder if his absence in the final stages of production will affect the final product?

As far as Super goes, Toyotaro will probably continue the manga.

Usually celebrity deaths don't hit that hard, but this one is a gut punch.

Dragon Ball Z was the first anime I ever watched, and Chrono Trigger is a top 3 game for me.

RIP to an absolute legend.

That's sad. I didn't know he was in poor health. I know he had issues remembering things as years grew by, it even became a meme with him forgetting Launch in DBZ, but I hope he rests in peace.

Also, Toriyama's art style is the reason I got into anime. It looked really cool and I remember the first episode of Dragon Ball Z I watched. Goku just come onto Namek and he was real badass and just outright destroyed most of the Ginyu Force and I thought "Wow, this is awesome" and I've been hooked on anime ever since. I'm pretty sure that was how most people felt when watching and why shonen is the way it is now!

Over time I complained about how plain Dragon Ball Z was compared to series but I should have given it more credit and Dragon Ball is still funny and the dude molded a lot around his art and his writing. I feel like I should play Xenoverse 2....I just bought it on my PC...>_<

Yup, subdural hematoma. Banged his head on something, thought nothing of it, and then he went to bed, and never woke up.

Damn. I may not always have agreed with some of the creative decisions he took, specifically in regards to Dragon Ball, but you can't deny he hasn't been one of the most influential creators in the anime/manga industry. RIP

IDK what the future holds as far as the Dragon Ball anime and movies go, but I would assume he set it up so that the guy who has been doing the manga can keep doing it given their close ties with each other.

I grew up watching Dragon Ball in Mexico and DBZ in the States so I owe a huge chunk of my childhood to this man.

Dragon Ball and Dragon Quest are literally why I learned Japanese. I wanted to play Dragon Quest V (not released in the US at the time) and watch Dragon Ball (the American dub didn't continue past the middle of the Freeza Saga until I was in high school).

Huh. I was fine, but the grief is growing just remembering how much influence it's had on me. I wanted to be strong because they were strong, I wanted to learn martial arts because they did martial arts. It's weeb as hell, but even just the idea of kaioken helped me with muscle control issues I had as a kid.
