Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball Creator) has passed away at age 68

[PAOerfulone]

The Father of Modern Shonen Manga and Anime.

I don't think he ever truly realized just how important and impactful his work was to multiple generations across the entire world.
Every person in every corner of the globe has heard of Dragon Ball. Goku is on that same tier as Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Mario, and Pikachu of recognizable and iconic characters. The Goku/Vegeta rivalry is the measuring stick for EVERY rivalry in ALL forms of media and entertainment. The manga, anime, and all things Dragon Ball holds a special place in the hearts of millions of people who were able to learn values such as working hard and busting your ass night in and night out in order to achieve the results you dream of - Teaching the lesson of how the journey is every bit as important as the destination. For both the work you put in and the unforgettable bonds and friends you make along the way.

Rest in Peace, Akira Toriyama.
May the Other World be as adventurous and exciting as you envisioned it.
