Dragon Ball/Z/Super TV Show • Page 53

Finally getting to new territory in Super chapter 101!

 

The new chapter was the best since the moro arc (with the exception of the black frieza chapter)

 

Sparking Zero character slots were shown in the new trailer. It has 164 slots

 

It’s less exciting since it’s most likely just a lot of variants of the same character

 

That’s how the last budokai tenkaichis were, but the good thing is that Goku/Vegeta have the most forms so the other characters variants won’t take up as many slots

 

I tapped out after the original Budokai trilogy so I actually had no idea what they’ve been doing since. Lol This is the first time I’ve been interested in getting another one. Idk why now all of a sudden, but that will probably be a week one buy as long as the reviews are decent

 

The budokai tenkaichi series were my favorite and a big fan favorite. You should enjoy it the new one it it plays similar to the first 3. The visuals and wide variety of moves make the game.

 

Yeah I don’t know why I stopped after Budokai 3, but that trilogy is near and dear to my heart. I still remember bringing my PS2 to like every family party and I would just set up in whatever room had a TV and play it the whole time, while also trying to entice my cousins to battle me.

 

Nevermind I do know why. That Sagas game came out between the Budokai and Budokai Tenkaichi series and it was complete shit. So I think it just soured me on the whole thing and I was just being a dumb kid

 

Sorry for the triple post

 

Akira Toriyama passed away

 

He created so much of my childhood and his character design is just iconic. It’s a sad day

 

This is devastating. What a legend.

 

【Masashi Kishimoto, the author of NARUTO】

I honestly don't know how to express myself in this sudden situation. However, I would like to take this opportunity to convey the things and feelings I had always wanted to ask and share with Toriyama-sensei.

From my early years in elementary school, starting with Dr. Slump, and later in my higher grades with Dragon Ball, your manga has been a constant companion, and having your manga by my side was a natural part of my life. Even when I had unpleasant experiences, Dragon Ball every week made me forget about them. It was a salvation for a country boy like me. Dragon Ball was truly enjoyable!

It was during my university years when suddenly the Dragon Ball series, which had been a part of my life for so long, came to an end. I was overwhelmed by an immense sense of loss and didn't know what to look forward to anymore. But at the same time, it became an opportunity for me to truly understand the greatness of the sensei who created Dragon Ball. I wanted to create works like you, sensei! I wanted to become like you! As I pursued the path of becoming a manga artist, following in your footsteps, that sense of loss gradually faded away. It was because creating manga was so enjoyable. By following you, I discovered new sources of joy. You were always my guiding light, my inspiration. I am sorry if I caused any inconvenience to you, sensei, but I am grateful to you in my own way. You were truly a god of salvation and the god of manga for me.

When I first met you, I was so nervous that I couldn't utter a single word. However, as we met multiple times during the Tezuka Award judging committee, I became able to talk to you. I will never forget the time when Oda-san and I, like Dragon Ball children, reverted to our childhood selves and enthusiastically discussed how amazing Dragon Ball was, almost as if we were competing. Your slightly embarrassed smile at that moment is forever etched in my memory.

I have just received the news of your passing. I am overwhelmed by an immense sense of loss, even greater than when Dragon Ball ended... I still don't know how to cope with this void in my heart. I can't even bring myself to read my beloved Dragon Ball now. I don't feel like I'm able to write this message properly either. People all over the world were still eagerly looking forward to your future works. If there were one wish related to Dragon Ball that could come true... I'm sorry... it may be a selfish request, but it's heartbreaking, sensei.

Thank you, Toriyama Akira-sensei, for creating so many enjoyable works over the span of 45 years. And thank you for your tremendous efforts.

To the remaining family members, I can only imagine the profound grief you are experiencing right now. Please take care of yourselves.

May Toriyama Akira-sensei rest in peace.

 

Awful news. Rest in peace, legend.

 

What an absolutely devastating thing to read. Man, I’m lost for words. I feel like the man’s impact on my childhood (and the childhoods of millions and millions of others) is immeasurable. No possible way to thank him enough.

I’m sad (both as a fan and as an artist) that he passed before he finished telling the DBS story, but man…what a ride.

 

Can’t even begin to explain the impact he had on my childhood and adolescence. It’s a testament to his imagination that I can still sit here as a 34 year old and fawn over his work like I did back then

 

My daughter's outfit for today.

 

Aw man that's awful, I was such a huge DB and DBZ fan growing up

 

Since some people were talking about Popo on Twitter

 

Do any of you remember the first time you read or watched Dragon Ball?

I’m not exactly sure of the year (maybe ‘98), but I remember leaving a community pool and going to my older brother’s friend’s house. The episode where Raditz and Goku die was playing. Pretty sure that was my introduction.
