truly connected people on a staggering level. If you engage with anime, even if you dont like dbz, chances are the anime you like got to you because of dbz's popularity. If you like jrpgs, even if you've never played dragon quest, the games you do love almost certainly became a thing because someone in the 80s loved dragon quest. 68 is way too young but genuinely what a towering legacy.
#akira toriyama#i watched like. 2 episodes of dbz as a kid maybe but its still dizzying to think how toriyama changed the course of my life forever.

I had a dream the Devilman manga got censored which pissed a lot of people off because it also censored the gay stuff and this was one of the "edits" in the censored edition

one thing i've always understood as Akira Toriyama's influence on manga, even if just assumption on my part, was how his cartooning came to bear when he started writing pure action manga. when I think of his contemporaries I think of overblown special moves like Saint Seiya or the gory fist clusters of FotNS
to me it seemed what Toriyama brought to the table was the satisfaction of clarity in martial arts
when you read his fight scenes, which may have become notorious when animated for dragging on, there's no question about what's happening in the action
a clear kick to the jaw
a clean line of action on Yajirobe's slice
I first noticed this clarity pretty quickly early on in the General Tao fights during the red ribbon arc, where entire fight scenes playing out with these clear motions on the pages
Even as it got more detailed later on, the clarity stayed
clear hits on clear fight scenes
and dirtier but still completely legible lines of action
And when he started introducing the big over the top special moves we got the same thing quite often in DB: that simple visual clarity amplifying the excitement
i'm not super coherent on it right now, i'm not the biggest shonen action fan all the time and maybe Toriyama didn't introduce the world to visually clear and interesting fights in manga.
but when I see any action manga showing off clean fight choreography or sick ass lazer beams that show off clear shockwaves of destruction, i'll always be thinking of the GOAT
RIP Akira Toriyama

Oda's message about Akira Toriyama passing away.
"It is too early. The hole is too big. Sadness washes over me when I think that I will never see him again. I have admired him so much since I was a child.
I remember the day he called me by name for the first time, the day you used the word "friend" for me and Kishimoto, I remember being overjoyed with Kishimoto on the way back home. I also remember the last conversation we had.
He was one of those who took the baton from the days when reading manga made you a fool, and created an era when both adults and children could enjoy reading manga. He showed us the dream that manga can go global. It was like watching a hero going forward. For not only manga artists but also the creators in various industries, the excitement and emotion of the time of Dragon Ball serialization must have taken root in their childhood. His existence is like a big tree.
For the manga artists of our generation who stood on the same stage, the closer I got to Toriyama's works, the more I realised that they had a greater presence. Scary. But I am just happy to see the easy-going man himself again. Because we love Toriyama-sensei on a blood level. With respect and gratitude for the creative world he has left behind, I pray for his soulful rest in peace.
May heaven be the joyous world just as you envisioned it." (X)

and the world is ending, the world is ending, all i can do is stare into his eyes, his beautiful golden eyelashes fluttering, as if he were a faerie, a fae, a faun boy that fancied himself a little nymph - nymphita! only the dead leaf echo of the nymphette i once knew. faunlets. faunlets. not nypphettes. I can't read, they have my eyes fucked up again. i like white and fluffy things, with red blood stains, like my panties when oniichan raped me, and then said he was a girl and that it never happened, and mommy thought I'd gotten my period, and later, when ha-kun killed me. he murdered me! i couldn’t believe it, but, it's true! i... i miss oniichan and ha-kun. and shio-tan!!
