What a huge loss, rest in peace. Chrono Trigger is probably my favorite jrpg of all time.

[Geeko]

Man, this hits hard…

Dragon ball, DBZ, chrono trigger, dragon quest…These shows and games helped shape my childhood and created a love for manga and anime that is still strong today. I'll forever be grateful for helping me cope with my childhood.

RIP legend.

I was not that much into his work as others, but a lot of my friends were deeply inspired by Toriyama's work, with Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, and of course, Dragon Ball, all having a deep influence on a lot of them. My condolences to his family, and to all those that were inspired by him, know that the best legacy he can have is seeing his influence continue strongly in both the manga, anime, and videogame industries.

 

[benbeau]

Can't even begin to process this. Fuck.

 

[FrostweaveBandage]

I almost woke my kids up gasping at this news. How awful. Rest in peace Toriyama-san.

 

[Shryke]

OMG what?!?!!?!?!?!?!? Awwww no!!!! R.I.P. to a absolute legend.

 

[wisdom0wl]

Oh what the fucking hell

No way

 

[Modest_Modsoul]

After Murayama & now Toriyama... T_T

Japanese video game legends... T_T

 

[DimitriLH]

So young..... me and my friends are still in shock.

 

[Merc_]

Holy shit! RIP to a real legend.

 

[Ckoerner]

Some incredibly memorable characters created by Mr. Toriyama. Chrono Trigger would not be one of my favorite stories if it wasn't for his wonderful work.

May he rest in peace and his memory live on forever.

 

[Anth0ny]

Oh my god

I'm in shock

 

[Cow Mengde]

WTF!?! This is just shocking and sad. He's only 68!

 

[CloverNotes]

Oh No! That's so sad... RIP

 

[KCroxtonJr]

:(

Thank you for making my childhood what it was. He is literally the reason I got into art, such an inspiration.

 

[Tuck]

Wow...RIP.

And, thank you.

 

[Midramble]

SO just told me the news. I'm blown away.

 

[Gaz]

Erm, wow. RIP.

 

[Thug Larz]

Rest in peace to a legend. 😞

 

[Jomon]

Oh my god. RIP. A legend is gone, Dragon Ball is a inspiration to every shonen mangaka. And Dragon Quest is the base for every JRPG. His work will be remember for a long time (probably while humanity exist).

And Dragon Quest series lost another pivot creational member.

 

[Buckle]

Oh my god..

I always joked about the lack of variety in his designs but he was one of the truly iconic ones. RIP.

 

[Snowfruit]

I grew up with DBZ but didn't fully appreciate his work until like this past year when I finally played Chrono Trigger, older Dragon Quest games, and watched the original Dragon Ball.

Now he's just gone… damn, rest in peace.

 

[BlueBrand]

RIP, thoughts go out to his friends and family. Akira Toriyama left a legacy behind that impacted multiple generations of children and has left a massive mark on the medium, he may be gone, but his work will be with us for a long time.

 

[blueredandgold]

Ouch.

Rest in Peace Toriyama-san.

Gonna play Chrono Trigger this weekend.

 

[Krypt]

WTF

 

[Dreazy]

Just when you think you can't get anymore depressed sigh

 

[Charizard]

My condolences. What a legend.

 

[Vareon]

It's so rare that a person is both so significant in OT and Gaming forum. RIP, I still can't process this.

 

[evrythngwastakn]

CT and DBZ mega parts of my younger days. Rip.

 

[GuitarGuruu]

Damn wtf that's a shock to me, ugh.

 

[Rutger]

I said it in the etcetera thread, but the amount of lives he has changed with his works is beyond imagination.

I don't even know what to do, but RIP.

 

[Zok310]

Rip

 

[Modest_Modsoul]

Legend.
