In case you weren't aware of just how monumental of a figure Toriyama Akira is throughout Asia, the Chinese government just officially mourned his passing.
Imagine creating a work so powerful that it lasts at LEAST four decades and had cultural impact WORLD WIDE in a multitude of languages and nations.
Very very few HUMAN BEINGS ever achieve something like this.
You changed the world the day you placed your pen onto a piece of paper. You changed the lives of millions the day you introduced us to the world of Dragon Ball. You gave billions of kids an idol to look up to the day you introduced us to the one and only; Son Goku.
I owe you so much. WE owe you so much. You were a generational inspiration to thousands and thousands of others who would follow in your footsteps and gave us all their own stories to tell. Without you a medium I've loved since I was a little, little boy would absolutely never have grown as huge as it has. You...you were, you are, THE Legend...and now you're gone.
Akira Toriyama, thank you. For everything.
Looking at the sheer number of people grieving over Akira Toriyama's passing shows the impact he's had on this world.
And his creations will continue to impact future generations, even after all of us are long gone.
Akira Toriyama, truly the legend among all legends.
I don’t know a single man that is asking a woman to do this. It’s time for women to start taking accountability and admit that a lot of women are doing this because of their own insecurities or to compete with other women.
