Goku in honor of Akira Toriyama

It's Over 9000!


Sharing some new artwork in honor of the legendary creator, Akira Toriyama, who passed away on March 1st. In this piece, Goku is depicted powering up for his next planet-shaking battle.

I vividly remember watching Dragon Ball Z on Toonami during the early 2000s. The imaginative character designs, the exhilarating fight scenes, and Goku's unwavering optimism and determination against insurmountable odds always left a lasting impression on me.

As well as it's humorous moments like power-up scenes that seemed to span the length of an episodes to iconic lines like Vegeta's infamous "It's over 9,000!" scream before crushing his scouter device. It's not surprising the series became a global phenomenon.

While I may have only caught occasional Dragon Ball movies or revisited clips on YouTube after the show left Toonami, Akira Toriyama's impact on pop culture has been undeniable. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and fans. He will truly be missed.
