He died of acute subdermal hematoma. Which is usually fatal 50 to 90% of the time. 99% of the time it's a head injury.

Please keep your conspiracy theories out of this thread, thanks.

Wasn't a few years ago that the berserker manga autor died as well, I think it was in 2021?

Yeah, he died pretty young too.

He's left us in body, but he will live forever in spirit. His art has permanently influenced other artists, and will continue to do so for generations.

A reminder of an upcoming game, Sand Land, written and conceptualized by Toriyama Sama is coming out soon. Looks like a fun open-world action RPG with vehicular combat, featuring the iconic and timeless art style we all know and love.

I thought it was a hoax at first, I'm so upset :( Rest in peace Toriyama

Something's weird though. Officially he died on the 1st of March, but the news of his death only broke out today.

What's up with that?

My life wouldn't be the same if I didn't watch Dragon Ball and played Dragon Quest...

Sometimes people don't give the news and avoid publicly anouncing it until a few days after.

Has happened before


Also 68 is not that old.. sad

Sad news, Thought it was one of those hoax/fake news things. glad the company respected the family and only announced his death a week later.

Hopefully TeamFourStar can get back into the swing of things. Not their fault they made a better product.

RIP, he was a legend :'(

[DoomsDay]

I remember watching dragon ball very often when I was a kid, it is sad Akira Toriyama died so young, his work really gave lots of fun memories for people.

[gugnihr]

Oh crap I did not know that he was so young. It's awful when people die at that age. His best work imo was original Dr Slump & Arale, it was brilliant. Dragon Bal at first was good too.

RIP Akiro. DBZ was part of my growing up.
