[The Clinch]

Not a fan of Dragon Ball, but can’t deny his influence on other artists and works that I do like.

Not to mention Chrono Trigger being one of the best games I’ve played and his character designs are a big part of that.

RIP

[Big Nasty Edison]

This one hits hard for me as far as celebrity passings go. Dragon ball was an major part of my life in my teens and early 20s, as I played the card game competitively. Which means most of the friends I have from those years are thanks to Toriyama.

 

[BAKM]

Watching goku turn super saiyan for the first time will forever be burned into my memory. It’s all we talked about the next day at school.

RIP. He’s training with King Kai now.

 

[Substance Abuse]

I never really got into DBZ, but watched it often with my younger brother as he's a decade younger than I. I did play and beat Chrono Trigger, however. RIP. He was incredibly creative.

 

[Dizzy]

Awful news, grew up with Z on Toonami like I’m sure a lot of us did.

Used to draw my brother characters from the show when I was a kid. I got back into drawing last year and decided to try my hand at it again. Was still fun.

RIP

 

[Michaelangelo]

RIP to the Japanese Stan Ree

[Big Al's Texas BBQ]

He has ascended to the next level. RIP..

You mean he's phased to another dimension.

 

[My Spot]

Not just DB but he designed all the characters for Chrono Trigger and the Dragon Quest series.

 

[Heelhook71]

Gone too soon.

DB was such a big part of my childhood
