Tribute to Akira Toriyama 

Rest in peace Akira Toriyama 1955-2024

Rest in peace, Akira Toriyama.

“I’ll give you strength, you give me love, that’s how we’ll win”

Im going to skip my “Day ___” for today, it just feels like the right thing to do. Rest in peace to a legend.

R.I.P Akira Toriyama, best childhood ever

Though he has passed physically, Shenron granted him immortality. His work and influence will live on forever

Back at 1984, and even though I wasnt even alive by the time, millions of kids met for the first time to this funny and rustic kid, one kid with a tail. They still didnt know by the time, but that kid named Goku was going to come along with them, to a world full of fights, friends, and uncommonly strong opponents. During so many times, it was Goku the one who made us laugh the hardest, cry the loudest, and fight the toughest, but overall, he taught all of us to not give up on anything, he gave us the hope, he gave us the inspiration, even when more hopeless it seemed, even in the darkest times, he was always there for us. Back on the day, it didnt matter how bad was the week of each reader being, Goku always knew how to put the smile back on their faces with each new chapter, and it was all thanks to you, Akira Toriyama, wherever you are now. You were always the hero under the mask, it was thanks to you that Goku could cheer us every week, and give us back the strength to fight for one more day. The universe that you created, the jokes you used to write, the fights you used to draw, none of that will ever go forgotten, or at least, I wont ever forget it (unless alzheimer hits me when I achieve the third age, then, there will be nothing I can do). A person who sacrifices their time in order to make something that will put back the smiles on so many readers, with the will to do it for more than 500 times, day after day, without hessitation or any other intentions than to make others feel the power you give them. Someone who stands for so much people, a sign of hope and dreams, thats what everyone calls a Hero. Rest In Peace, Akira Toriyama. I hope that you learn the Kaio-Ken and a lot of new techniques up with Kaio-Sama. PD: day 22 of requesting for Pokey Means Business (im sorry, a compromise is a compromise)

"Dragon Ball is part of our shared culture" that is absolutely undeniable. Toriyama's work is by all means transcendent

"don't be sad because their gone, be happy they were here"- Dr Seuss

RIP Akira Toriyama. Father of the greatest anime series ever. Thank you SMB!

I didn’t even like Dragonball, but it was an iconic series for sure. A global phenomenon.

It's so hard to believe he's no longer with us. He will be forever missed.

May he rest in peace, the man who was part of the childhood and adulthood of many... the man who carried an entire generation and the inspiration of many others. Thank you so much Toriyama, thank you for your great work and dedication...

Akira will always have a special place in my memories. Thank you for everything you've done, the hundreds of thousands of hours you poured into all of your creations, and goodbye 😔 And thank you for this, SMB.

RIP Akira Toriyama, you made a legacy. 1955 - 2024

Akira toriyama thank you for the best childhood I have and had in my life

Even though I never watched Dragon Ball, I still know he’s an absolute legend for giving people a show they’ll never forget, giving them happy memories of watching, memories of sadness, memories to never be forgotten. Rest in peace, Akira Toriyama. We’ll miss you deeply.

RIP Akira Toriyama, thank you for making one of the best animes of all time

o7 Akira. You will be forever remembered. Rest in peace legend.

I watched Dragon Ball and DBZ every single day after school, which then obviously led into the hilarious references and legacy it has now. Absolutely enormous part of my life, even thought it's just a cartoon. This hits in a weirdly sadder way than I thought it would.

He will be forever remembered in our hearts for all the greatness ever achieved in the life of a common man. Rest in Peace with honor, Akira Toriyama.

"Remember these words: work hard, study well, and eat and sleep plenty. We must master the art of peace in addition to the art of war." RIP Toriyama-sensei

He made so many core memories in my childhood. Thanks for making my childhood awesome, Toriyama. Rest in peace, legend.

RIP Toriyama 🐉 Thank you SMB for the wonderful tribute 🙏

I remember years ago on cable television that my older brother, my younger sister and I would huddle around the TV and watch Dragon Ball Z. The best moment was when we watched Gohan and Cell fight. Good times.

i was unable to properly mourn the loss of such a legend until now.... Thank you Toriyama-dono for everything, and you, SMB for such a wonderful and heartfelt rendition of Cha-La-Head-Cha-La in his honor.

RIP LEGEND! Your passion and work of art will never be forgoten!!!

I grew up at the peak of Dragon Ball in Spain, myself from the year of the Dragon 1988. My infancy, and life wouldn't be the same without the genius and contribution of Akira Toriyama. I am deeply saddened for him passing away, and I will always dutifully carry the fire of joy, love, and adventure of limitless possibilities that this unexplainably amusing story has brought to my life, for the rest of my life.

Beautiful tribute, thank you Akira Toriyama for all the happiness you brought to this world. RIP.❤

RIP, Toriyama-sensei. You'll survive in our memories for years to come. Will never forget how much I loved DBZ when I was a kid, or how I discovered DB later on, when I was a teenager. Words cannot describe how much the DB universe has has influenced me for almost 3 decades, you will be sorely missed. Thank you for everything! ❤❤❤❤

He's imagination made a character that inspired generations. The power of the mind is incredible when used to build beautiful things. Thank you sensei Akira❤

When I was around 13/14, Dragonball had a huge impact on me. I used to watch it with my dad, and we bonded over it. I would draw Dragonball characters over and over, learning his style and really kickstarting my art journey. I loved the characters and the world he created, and the stories he told. Rest in Peace, Mr. Toriyama, you've brought more joy and inspiration to this world than you could ever know.

Thank you Akira, for your amazing and legendary legacy. May he rest in peace. ❤

God bless you Sheet Music Boss for this tribute to the master who craddled our childhood you really are amazing 🫡😔✨️

Here in Mexico I can say that 10 years ago, when I was a 4 years old kid, I knowed for first time Dragon Ball and when I knew that serie, was so epic for me If i can have only 10 and below words to describe how was Akira Toriyama, They wouldn't be enough but I would say the following: Dragon Ball and Akira Toriyama, an epic and magic combination

Merci Toriyama pour tout ce que tu as apporté merci d'avoir été une porte d'entrée pour ce monde fantastique Bonne nuit

Whoa, this hurts, Akira Toriyama brought me so much joy as a kid with DBZ. He is a dreamer that will be missed.💗

Rest in peace Toriyama, may you rest in peace with the other legends that have brought joy to millions and have made us laugh and cry, through thick and thin, you will be gravely missed by the fandom you've created and to others who have loved your work ❤

This is really well made, a solemn song for the passing of a legend who made people smile, get out of bed, and maybe even believe in themselves a little more....

His creativity was over 9000, Rest In Peace, Akira Toriyama, you will be missed in our hearts.

Rest in peace🌹

His work had inspired millions of kids around the world especially those who grew up in the 90s and the 2000s. Many got introduced to anime via Dragon Ball and this eventually led to the creation of classic shonen series like One Piece and Naruto. Without Dragon Ball none of these shows would have existed. His legacy will continue to inspire future generations to come. R.I.P legend
