I did not grow up with Dragon Ball or Z, I only got into the series in 2018 thanks to All System Goku. But even as a latecomer, I lost my shit when Goku blocks King Piccolo's attack for the first time. Toriyama was a messy storyteller but he always delivered on these big moments, truly a monumental talent. The world is richer because of his work and emptier after his passing.
