>>5474269>RIP Akira Toriyama.
dbz is kindda shit tho. Worst thing about toriyama dying is that it's now in bad taste to rightly shit on that filler-arc infested shit.
where were you when you found out? I found out from turning on Vargskelethor joel stream and he opened up with talking about the news
>>5474326 #>>5474281 #> tfw just minding my own business in my room, trying to chill, and then my sibling comes in and starts yapping about the news baka
>>5474326was just scrolling through twitter 30 minutes after it was announced. been in disbelief since
Yes yes, but how can I make this man's death about me?
Anons... I... ;_;
>>5474258for how many times iv'e called the guy a hack writer i did enjoy his stories a lot thank you toriyama
>>5474258as someone who was never a fan of dragonball.I'm sorry bro's. it sucks
>>5474577>even The Doctor is mourningChecked and necked.
bump out of respect.
>>5474258>A third wrote: "Akira Toriyama not in the In Memoriam. Too soon I guess.>And: "In Memoriam of Akira Toriyama… How could you forget?"https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/10676686/oscars-memoriam-snubs-angus-cloud-akira-toriyama-backlash/
>>5476567Some might argue they didn't include Toriyama 'cause he was mostly just a mangaka, but not having the late John Wick actor is pretty sus.
>>5474292DBZ is just the anime for the second half of Dragon Ball, the mangathe manga of course, was entirely worked on by Toriyama and has zero filler
>>5476603Probably had the wrong politics or some other problematic attribute.
>>5476622That's cool.
I remember it was sad when the voice actress of Bulma died, and this is sad too, I cried after learning about it. I've never even seen these people but they have done a lot for the world. So I wanna write a comment out of respect at least.
This sequence is impossible to forget.
>>5474258
>>5474577>>5474947I've seen this elsewhere, but I'm out of the loop. What's happening?
>>5477582I still have fond memory of watching this when it originally aired.I miss my little 15" color tv.
>>5474258Why do you wanna see some dragons nuts? gay ass furry

>>5474258I see too possibilities: A. The CCP apparently commentates on literally anything that happens anywhere no matter how insignificant. B. Toriyama said something nice about China once and the CCP will apparently simp for anyone that says something nice about China.I have no evidence for either.
dbz has always been supremely lame
>>5481773Take it back
>>5481773That you're enough of a degenerate to come to such a thread to say something like that just shows how worthless your opinion is. You just defamed anyone else with that opinion. Heh.
>>5481715dbz is somewhat based on the journey west. son goku is the japanese name for sun wukong, the monkey king from the journey west.
I downloaded this exact quicktime player file off Planet Namek back in the late 90s and it was the hypest little clip in the whole darn world.
>>5479567lurk more
>>5483005Fellow oldfag confirmed.>tfw you spend a day downloading a clip but it's realplayer format and you don't have the right codecsKids these days will never understand.
>>5484572RealPlayer format as in flv? Then I understand as a 2002 zoomer.
>>5486567Dancing is the ultimate non-punchline.You're a faggot if you do this, or find it funny.
Never saw a dragon ball thread here, now that the guy died everyone is suddenly a fanGrow up
>>5487061That's a ridiculous and attention-grabbing statement. It's not like it's common for people to post anime here, let alone Dragon Ball Z. I've seen threads about /g/, /ck/, and /tv/, but never about /a/.
>>5487040No, RealPlayer proprietary format would be RealVideo .rvOther common file formats in those days were .divx and .xvid (which weren't related despite the similar names).
>>5481715niggerdb and dbz is full of Chinese referencesGoku is the monkey king, also Jackie chan, u have the dragon, u have the ozaru, u have the Kungfu etc etc etc
>tiktok shit>dubThe worst thread in the history of this board

>>5478381I dont see whats wrong with thisSHE gave them permission, so its fucking fineits not like she didnt consent to it.
>>5483005I'll show you what it means to go even further beyond.
>>5495761
>>5495761>>5495762Yup. Had this clip as well.And at the time, I didn't assume they were non-canon villains or anything. I thought DBZ really went to some weird places.
>>5474294lmao
>>5476622LMao, you could never get a crowd to do this in America. We're all such retarded assholes.
>>5475165Vegeta was still alive after his arc because he was very popular with girls. I think you can say that there is a large audience of girls for Dragon Ball.
>>5497691>Vegeta was still alive after his arc because he was very popular with girlsI vaguely recall hearing about this once, but I can't pinpoint when or where. However, I haven't come across any evidence to confirm its legitimacy.
>>5474269I gotta ask, what episode is that Bulma scene from?
>>5484536Lurk where? /a/?
>>5487269Yeah. The original Dragon Ball was largely using Chinese aesthetics, esp. with its environment. Not sure if Chi-Chi is Chinese, but Mai explicitly is.I haven't seen the later bits of DB in a while, but I know DBZ moved away from using that aesthetic for the most part and kind of became its own thing.
>>5504061Its from a ending, although I can't remember which one specifically.
>>5477584Look at that pose. Absolutely perfect. Jeice and Burta are carrying their weight too, posing at all times.
>>5487051>he's this new
>>5504074where the hell do people like you even come from?
>>5475153An entire month has passed, and still, no response to this?
>>5477579R.I.P>On around 7:30 PM on November 16th, Hiromi Tsuru was found unconcious in her car on the metropolitian expressway in Chuuokou, Tokyo, ...
>>5497663wow
>>5506415The ultimate non-retort.
>>5477582pretty much everything from saiyan saga and namek was like thatI reluctantly stuck around through end of cell arc (which ended up being pretty cool at times) and then still reluctantly watched it from time to time during Buu arc..I don't remember much except it feeling so incredibly aimless for the longest time, months in a row of "what the shit is even happening in this stupid show" but then out of nowhere this happens and then Buu's at the lookout and it was some pretty kino whiplash with how fast it went from some gagshit to "oh shit"
>>5512714jujitsu hero yaiba could never...
>>5512714>I don't remember much except it feeling so incredibly aimless for the longest timeI'll admit, I was low-key waiting for Fat Buu's inevitable defeat in this 'fight' when I was a kid
>>5481715The CCP's been trying to sow division between Japan and the West for a year, but their attempts have ended fruitlessly since last week Japan announced they're joining the AUKUS military alliance to produce missiles and other equipment in exchange for defensive support.https://www.businessinsider.com/china-diplomat-tells-japan-south-korea-theyll-never-become-westerners-2023-7?amphttps://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/biden-kishida-to-announce-ramped-up-military-partnership/
>>5474268what song please
>>5474294d'you the song for this one, please?
Observing such deaths occurring amidst somber times as a member of Generation Z.
Time felt different back then. Reflecting on the enjoyable, tranquil moments of watching the Dragon Ball series as a recluse fills me with nostalgia.
>>5512746God I've always hated that guy's music.
>>5517573you are a complete faggot. kys.
>>5517706No, you kill yourself. For you are the faggot.
>>5515682lol nvm this is Cell's theme
Feeling the weight of being a NEET hikikomori for six years because of trueceldom, harassment, and Toriyama's passing serves as a stark reminder that your prime was during childhood, watching anime like Dragon Ball Z, highlighting the disappointment you feel compared to your younger self.
>>5487042were they beating the shit out of that VA in the studio or something goddamn
>>5519507Wow, give me my 15 seconds back for reading that drivel.
>>5519557I've forfeited my teen years to mental illness, and those are moments I'll never reclaim. It's not romantic; it's profoundly disheartening to accept that those years will never match the joy of my preteen days. The Dragon Ball series was one of the anchor of stability during my preteen years.
>>5474280Arigato, Toriyama sama
OP here, expressing gratitude to everyone for their contributions. And a heartfelt thank you to Toriyama for his impactful work; his influence on our lives will always be remembered.
>>5497691There was a Geekdom101 video featuring him and a lady friend or friends, in which they discussed the topic and possibly one of them mentioned finding Vegeta attractive. I didn't mention this when I first read your comment a month ago because my memory was unclear, and I was rather lazy about searching for the video.
>>5524933I can't quite recall this scene visually. It's been about 14 to 15 years since I last saw this series. The most I can recollect is a moment where a character attempted to shoot him from behind in desperation, but it was futile against the legendary figure.
>>5525824I watched it over 20 years ago, but this is how I remember it. Tao just walked out of the tailor's place when an angry lone gunman tried sneaking up to take his shot, but that's as far as he got.
