I normally don't cry when a celebrity dies when it's someone that who created something that I really love, it's just breaks my heart. I haven't been this sad since the creator of Spongebob died

When I heard that Akira Toriyama, the creator of my favorite anime series, died I thought it was an early April Fool's joke. However, it turned out to be real and I immediately started crying my eyes out.

Dragon Ball has been apart of my life since I first saw an episode of DBZ when I was 5. At the time I was young but as I grew up I took Dragon Ball seriously. I then decided to check out Dr. Slump and Sand Land and I grew in love with them. If it weren't for Toriyama, I wouldn't be here where I'm at now

Thank you, Toriyama for giving us your wonderful creations and for teaching us to go even further beyond
