I used to watch Dragon Ball Z everyday after school around 5th grade.

The creator of the most recognizable anime/manga ever, I think it would probably be fair to say.

But it's undoubtedly the most influential. It would take forever to tally up how many common tropes nowadays were borne from this series.

Such a big fan of both Dragonball and Dragonball Z growing up.
I still thought of Toriyama as being a much younger man for some reason. |

I think of that more as more of a video game first, but it’s a fair point. DBZ was a huge deal in the late 90s/early 00s among my peer group watching the Freeza/Android/Cell stuff growing up. I haven’t seen any of the new stuff but that they’ve been making Dragonball for almost 40 years now in some capacity. Just a crazy impact and level of longevity.

This one hurts.
Damn. He just took back over writing new chapters himself each month less than a decade ago. What will become of Super? I feel like it still had so much potential. |
