I'm posting it here, since he was the character designer for Chrono Trigger and the Dragon Quest series (and the creator of Dragon Ball, of course)

[Auto_aim1]

Thank you for all the memories, sir.

 

[R6Rider]

RIP

 

[Buggy Loop]

I basically grew up with Dragon Ball playing on TV every day and Chrono Trigger is one of my favourite game of all time.

RIP amazing artist. Such a specific style he had.

[Mister Wolf]

End of an era. RIP

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Already commented in OT, but RIP, major part of my life. Watching Super right now as I learned this, literally paused. Shit comes at you fast.

 

[graywolf323]

R.I.P.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

A legend at his craft.

 

[Elbereth]

 

[tusharngf]

RIP .. i still remember watching dbz on toonami. Later I came to know there is MANGA for this masterpiece.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Wow... the word legend is used too loosely nowadays, this man truly was one. Your legacy will endure for generations, Rest in Power.

 

[ShirAhava]

RIP

 

[DonF]

68, young still. RIP. I hope they can continue the projects he was involved in. I love his style in dragon quest games

 

[Kumomeme]

the experience we grew up today might be difference without his influences

his work inspire tons of people across the world and things might not be same today without him.

dragon ball is everything to me as kid before i get into videogame.

 

[AutumnLeaves]

Rest in piece...amazing memories with DBZ.

 

[diffusionx]

damn

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

This just wrecked my night kinda hard NGL. Pure legend; DBZ's what got me into anime, I've always had admiration for it and Toriyama himself.

Kinda can't believe it's happened but...damn, it did. Condolences to his family, friends & other loved ones. Hope the fandom stays strong. Might need to reflect on it all tonight, this one hurts massively for me.

 

[VAVA Mk2]

Wow hard to believe he is gone

 

[Arsic]

Depressed as shit.

Man has top 5 art ever made. Childhood of fun memories.

RIP.

 

[killatopak]

it hurts.

 

[Solidus_T]

The influence this man had on world culture is immense. Hard to believe he is gone.
RIP to an actual legend.

 

[Vyse]

That sucks. RIP!

 

[TheInfamousKira]

The influence this man had on world culture is immense. Hard to believe he is gone.
RIP to an actual legend.

It really is like if the West woke up and we lost someone like Lucas or Spielberg.

 

[ManaByte]

 

[BossLackey]

Wow. A legend gone.

 

[Arsic]

 

[NanaMiku]

Rest in Peace

 

[ranmafan]

The influence this man had on world culture is immense. Hard to believe he is gone.
RIP to an actual legend.

Indeed, it’s thanks to much of his work, from dragon ball to dragon quest, Chrono trigger etc that so many westerners got into Japanese pop culture. And of course his impact on Japan is even greater. Many people I’ve talked to about it here at my school I work at in Japan are in shock. A sad loss for sure.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

RIP to a legend. Fuck this sucks.

 

[Pelao]

This man's work defined my childhood. I am beyond devastated. Thank you for everything and rest in peace, Toriyama.

 

[daclynk]

RIP. SAD DAY COMING UP

 

[Represent.]

Fucking hell. Wow. No. RIP. This one hurts. Responsible for the GOAT anime, and my entire childhood.

 

[SpiceRacz]

Damn. I don't follow it anymore, but my friends and I would all gather at our one buddy's house after school every day to catch DBZ in time. His parents had illegal satellite so it would air at like 3 or 3:30, I think. I was so obsessed at the time that I imported all the Japanese movies up to that point with english subs. It was my entry point into anime.

Also, Chrono Trigger is still the GOAT RPG.

 

[Danjin44]

You kidding me!?

 

[TransTrender]

Damn

 

[El Muerto]

It was his work that got a lot of us into anime. This will be felt in every country, around the world, by kids and adults that grew up watching Dragonball and playing Dragon Quest.

 

[KXVXII9X]

This man's work was basically my childhood and the reason for getting into drawing, anime, and gaming... damn... R.I.P.

 

[Yoboman]

Oh no what a legend this genuinely makes me sad. Wasn't he just about to start drawing again?

 

[Yoboman]

Are you stupid? It literally says in the OP

 

[DeathGuise]

Christ that one hurts

 

[Danjin44]

 

[Kacho]

This one hurts. RIP to an absolute legend.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

 

[StreetsofBeige]

A mod might want to combine threads and put it in gaming or OT.

[Sojiro]

Damn what a loss, the man is leaving behind a hell of a legacy though. We need real life Dragon balls to wish this legend back

 

[Aenima]

RIP. He might be gone but his work and art style will remain forever. The fact you can use A.I. and ask for a character in Akira Toriyama style is proof his legacy will be around for generations.
