I've been a fan of DBZ and the Dragon Ball franchise since I was a kid. The franchise has had a huge impact on me. For those that don't know my online name TrunksWD comes from Future Trunks.

Rest in peace Akira Toriyama!

I am shocked by this news. 68 is so young.

Rest in peace to a legend.

Dragon Ball has been such a massive part of my life for nearly 30 years.

Man, that's really sad.

They should add a tribute to him in Sandland.

Surreal.
His work had a huge impact on me, and continues to do so to this day.

I don't even know what to say.
But thank you for sharing your amazing work with the world.

Cause of death is due to acute subdural hematoma.
So from something like a fall... Wasn't even poor health that took him.
