Toriyama will always be near and dear to my heart. His work isn’t the most sophisticated, but it had a charm to it that only he could ever manage to create, and that resonated with millions across the globe.
Nunca te olvidaremos, Toriyama. Te mereces un respeto infinito. 🫡🇲🇽

Yeah I'm rereading Dragonball right now and it's just solid fun. No underlying message or cynical take on humanity, just silly fun.

What a way to start the day.
RIP big guy.

What a way to end it. Not certain I can go to sleep without hearing "cha la" playing in my head for hours.

He was younger than I expected for one of the manga and anime old timers.
