Super sad to hear of Akira Toriyama&
#039;s passing.
I was a shy youngster, with hardly any friends. I remember the first time I watched Dragon Ball: a re-run of the Buu fight playing in the TV in the cafeteria. A girl demanded me to raise my arms in order to help Goku. Confused, I stood there with her with my arms raised, watching that Genki Dama get formed.
I still talk to my very first weeb friend to this day.
Thank you, Mr Toriyama. You created modern Shounen, and helped forge many friendships (and destroy some thanks to Budokai Tenkaichi 3).
The flutter of your pen changed multiple lives.
May you rest in peace!
