Mr. Eiichiro Oda
It's too early.
The hole is too big.
The thought of never seeing you again fills me with sadness.
I've admired you so much since I was a child
I also remember the day when I was called by my name for the first time.
On the way home from the day you used the word "friend" for us
I also remember the days when I had a great time with Mr. Kishimoto.
I also remember the last conversation we had.
I picked up the baton from the days when reading manga made you stupid.
He is also one of the people who created an era where both adults and children read and enjoy manga.
Manga can do things like this too.
It made me dream that I could go all over the world.
It was like watching a hero push forward.
Not limited to manga artists
The childhood of creators active in all industries
The excitement and excitement of the Dragon Ball serialization is probably rooted in it.
That existence is a great tree.
For manga artists of our generation who stood on the same stage
The closer I got to Toriyama's work, the more I realized that it had a larger presence.
Almost scary.
But I'm just happy to see the easy-going man himself again.
Because we love Toriyama-sensei on a blood level.
Into the creative world left behind by Toriyama Sensei
With respect and gratitude, I pray for the repose of his soul from the bottom of my heart.
I hope that heaven will be a pleasant world just as you envisioned it.
