I know nothing of Dragonball, but X sure has it trending.

Anyone know the how he passed? Seems to have caught most folks off guard.

Apparently by acute subdural hematoma, or when blood collects between the skull and brain. He was only 68. This hurts man, RIP

68? OK, a bit older than I thought, but not by much.

RIP legend

The guy definitely went on to live amongst the Kais with the rest of the great heroes from history.


Guess now without him to protect it we’ll get another shitty live adaptation of DB.

Damn. RIP.

Watching Gohan turn Super Saiyan 2 for the first time is probably my favorite moment in tv history.

Same. For Dragonball I prefer the original music but for DBZ the Faulconer score shits all over everyone else’s music. It sucks that it’s hard to find good quality DBZ with that score at a good price nowadays

Rest in Peace, Dragon Ball was a big part of my childhood and still love it today. Can’t wait to show my kids one day

This sucks. I became a DBZ fan because of Cartoon Network and Toonami. When I worked at Blockbuster, I was able to crack the code on the DirecTV display, and we'd watch the newest DBZ at night. The Freiza saga got me through many a long night there.
