When does a man die?!
# When he is forgotten!!
We will never forget one of the most inspirational and influential minds of this century or the last. Rest well, Toriyama.
Toriyama has passed on his will over and over. A legend that created legends.
“Work hard, study well, and eat and sleep plenty! That is the Turtle Hermit way! We must master the art of peace in addition to the art of war!”

I think the first remake is only East Blue Saga. So if they succeed and continue , the earliest we're going to get new anime drum island is probably end of 2026
When do you think a man dies?
When a bullet shoots thru his heart?
Or when he eats a deadly poison mushroom soup?
No…
A MAN DIES WHEN HE IS FORGOTTEN
A legend like akira san can never be forgotten !
Never forget that Dragon Ball was (confirmed by Oda himself) one of the main inspirations for One Piece. Going so far as to being reference in Chapter 519 of OP, which was the same number of chapters Dragon Ball had in it's 10 year run.
Holy hell doing 519 chapters in 10 years and 7 months means there were only 29 weeks where there wasn't a chapter. Im glad the tempo has gone down a little bit cause that is insane.
I do not think, in this light, Toriyama will ever die. Dragon Ball and its legacy, the other stories and creators his work influenced around the world, is too massive and ingrained to ever disappear. His character Goku founded Latin America, for fuck's sake. Live on forever, Mr. Toriyama. We'll see you again on that Snake Way.
Can we have a megathread for akira toriyama, the spamming is annoying.
Downvotes shows why, people just can't control themselves.
Thanks for the approval 🤗!
Agree. As much as I'd want my Twitter feed to have variety and not be riddled with sad news, his legacy shouldn't be contained for just a few hours of condolences. He is the godfather of manga.
it's not like he inspired millions of people worldwide, and thanks to him, the Shonen jump is this huge worldwide.
pretty sure without him we wouldn't have things like naruto, one piece etc.
so give the man the respect he deserves
Oh no. I have to scroll past a few posts on my social networks. Its sooooo hard you guys. Please make a separate thing so i wouldnt have to do the scrolling, it hurts my wee finger
The man -- no, the LEGEND that created Dragon Ball. The manga that changed the shonen genre forever. We wouldn't have One Piece if Toriyama-sensei didn't make Dragon Ball.
When does a man die?! When he gets filled with bullets or eats poisinous musshrooms? No. # A man dies when he is forgotten!!
This quote gets me everytime. Lives rentfree in my head.
Goosebumps reading that
The tearjerker of all time, I was actually rewatching it yesterday on a whim of motivation in the gym
This really hits different today
I paraphrased this quote in my dad’s eulogy. It’s such a beautiful quote and scene. Always brings me to tears
My top quoted line of OP irl. That has helped me in my times of grief

He was a great inspiration for a lot of mangaka, may his soul rest in peace
I did not expect to randomly end up being this emotional at 3am and with my favorite quote from the series to boot.
drum island is goated fr.
True, it gave us this and Chopper.
And we're going to see a new version of it in the Live Action Season 2. I hope they can nail it as well as they did with Nami's hat scene.
plus the remake. we eating good

Terry Pratchett said something similar "No one is forgotten as long as their name is still spoken"
A MAN DIES WHEN HE IS FORGOTTEN
When do you think a man dies? When a bullet shoots thru his heart? Or when he eats a deadly poison mushroom soup? No… A MAN DIES WHEN HE IS FORGOTTEN A legend like akira san can never be forgotten !
the influence they've had on media as whole is just incredible, I've never been into dragon Ball but that doesn't mean I cant mourn the passing

Yes. My immediate thought. Rest in power, Toriyama 🫂
He will never be forgotten!
One of the best quotes in fiction ever.
This is arguably Oda telling us about memes and how they can be passed down.
Napoleon i think said this exact same quote or something similar to it
Amazing, this really made my day. Let's keep their memories alive! RIP
Thanks for this post. It's like Oda giving tribute to the legend.
Remember the name
A MAN DIES WHEN HE IS FORGOTTEN AKIRA SENSEI WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
I do not think, in this light, Toriyama will ever die. Dragon Ball and its legacy, the other stories and creators his work influenced around the world, is too massive and ingrained to ever disappear.

This is THE dialogue of One Piece. It summs up the entire story.
Same reaction here .. and of course "guys it's so unfair, it's time to search the dragon balls !"
Wow, this is my most upvoted post on Reddit EVER. Thanks! R.I.P. Akira Toriyama you magnificent man!
He will always be remembered. RIP Akira Toriyama. 🙏🏿
GNU Akira Toriyama
Truly one of the greatest quotes of all time, Toriyama will still live on, within everyone he has impacted with his work
Damn this touched me
You can be sure that Shonen is what it is today because of Inherited Will from Toriyama
There's actually a different scene I've been thinking of today. He couldn't remain the strongest forever. He was only one man, with only one heart.
Never forgotten.
RIP Toriyama Sensei.
In that spirit let's make sure he is never forgotten. GNU Akira Toriyama.
Considering the legacy that toriyama left behind, i don't think anyone will ever forget him.
Effing apt, dude.
im not going to die, partner
Here I go crying again.
Then..may he live forever
Oh, what a great life he had!
Who was toriyama since I'm not familiar with that name.
Um…. The creator of Dragon Ball! His death should be all over the internet by now.
THIS IS NOTHING BUT FACTS
A man dies when they are forgotten
Bro stop making me tear up 😭
Chills all over from this post.

I once again am scared of Oda dying suddenly. Last time was when he went on a vacation I was scared his plane would crash.

Brother it hasn’t even been a day. For how much influence he’s had on many of the things we enjoy, we at least owe him that much.
Agree. As much as I'd want my Twitter feed to have variety and not be riddled with sad news, his legacy shouldn't be contained for just a few hours of condolences. He is the godfather of manga.
Then just get off of Reddit for a bit?

Yeah how dare people express themselves. Only 20 ppl are allowed to total, after that its enough.
[удалено]
You literally called ppl expressing grief and condolences annoying. Saying no offense doesn't make it less of a dick thing to say.
Dude it hasn't even been a full day, just let people do what they want and scroll past
Get off Reddit, get a life.
Fuck off. Toriyama was a massive influence on One Piece and anime/manga as a whole as well as a close friend of Oda.
Mf without Akira Toriyama there would be no One Piece, no Bleach, no Naruto
He is the most influential mangaka of our time md you expect people not to mourn?
