Not sure what this means for the future of the manga or the upcoming series but he created something that millions of people watched all over the globe and was a giant success. Hope he passed peacefully.

We just need to collect all seven Dragonballs and wish him back, right?

Nah he's like Kami/Piccolo. When he dies the dragonballs go with him.

I guess it was sudden?

His name should be on the same level as Stan Lee as far as impact on comics/superheroes genre

He couldn't have been that old, right? I'm guessing mid 60s, maybe?
OG DB premiered in 1986.
Dude almost single handidly opened Japansese animation to the masses in the west, which is a multi-billion $$ business now. Absolute Mt Rushmore type of figure for animation.
I know he had pulled back from the creative side a lot of the DB-verse, but he was still kind of the guiding light for the show/anime.
Gigantic loss in so many ways.

I’m not a big DB or DBZ guy anymore but hard to deny the dude was a legend. He created something that had such a huge impact on a lot of different generations. What a legacy

In Japan, he is also associated with the artwork for Dragon Quest games and a lot of the related media. He might be more well known for DQ than DB over here based on what I'm hearing from the teachers in my office today.

Oh shite man. Damn. This sucks. His work on the DBS movies showed the dude still has it.
He did train a successor so we have someone to carry his torch going forward, but man no one was better at page layouts than Toriyama. The dude was seriously the goat at displaying action despite the restrictions the medium had.
