Akira Toriyama has passed away... May he rest in peace. Thank you so much, sir. For everything.

So Shueisha just announced that Toriyama passed away last week on March 1st from a subdural hematoma (head injury)

The site has crashed, but it's from both official DB twitter accounts

This month marks the one year anniversary of the untimely passing of Akira Toriyama, creator of most popular and arguably the most influential manga series of all time, Dragon Ball/Z. He’s also worked on other projects besides the manga, such as the popular JRPG games Dragon Quest and Chrono Trigger (its respective protagonists at the bottom center and left you see mourning their creator). This piece took me almost 20 hours (spread over three weeks of two 2.5+ hours of live streams on my Twitch) and normally wouldn’t have gotten that long, for originally I intended to paint with light watercolor, but I made a critical error of ‘amputating’ the dragon’s limbs (ROFL) and since I didn’t want to have to redraw the whole thing, I decided it can be fixed with gouache which I could just paint the missing limbs into the dragon, so it took even longer. But I did finish it tonight, and am pleased with how it’s turned out. Now I can relax and move on to the next masterpiece in the works…

This drawing is based on a Game Boy mom meme, but except of a mother beating a Super Mario Land level for her kids, it's a retired, legendary-military-general-turned-a-local-sheriff helping a fiend prince beat a level of a scaveneged, gameboy advance game, the teen struggled with for a while now.

Finally feel like I can say something coherent, so here goes... I say this without a shred of exaggeration: Akira Toriyama was legitimately one of the most important creative figures of the last 50 years. His work, especially Dragon Ball, has influenced SO much even outside its own medium. Movies, TV, cartoons, comic books, video games, MUSIC... all of it. You can see his fingerprints in so many other works. Even now, artists and writers, voice actors and animators, musicians and game devs are all mourning him and reflecting on the impact he had on their own work. Titans of anime and manga are sharing in this pain. The craziest thing about this though? The humility he had in spite of it. He was always reluctant to be in the spotlight, preferred to keep his head down and just work, never really worried that much about public perception of himself. Part of what makes him such an icon, man. Losing him is losing a piece of our shared history. It's something that resonates deep in the hearts of everyone his work touched. This is just... such a loss. And I can't even begin to imagine what his family is going through right now. Praying for them all. Rest in Peace to a literal Legend, an absolute Icon, and a personal inspiration in more ways than I could ever express properly.

Is anyone gonna ship these 2 or do I gotta do it myself?

Looks like I gotta do it myself!

There's also Rao holding onto Thief off screen at least twice!

They literally held hands too!

Look, even the toys on Amazon have them together, like c'mon now!
