This one is rough. Mr Toriyama was so many of our childhoods and arguably is the father of modern anime. Without Dragonball the industry just would not be the same.

RIP and God bless. I think I am going to have to watch some episodes out of respect.
We used to argue whether Star Trek or Star Wars was better. Now we argue which one is worse.

He wasn't exactly young, but he was still taken from us too early. :(

I vaguely remember something someone said on a YouTube channel that he was not well.

This came out of left field.
I got nothing to say here.
