  9. All my 80s and 90s kids.
    You know we were with Toriyama since our childhood.
    Before cartoon was anime. Before social media, YouTube and streaming existed.
    Before anime was a global phenomenon.
    When we were called “nerds” as an insult.
    When no one got our passion.
    Now we are here and thanks to Toriyama anime is mainstream.
    It influences cinema, cosplay, pop culture, video games and the fandoms of all media.

    Toriyama, rest in peace
