It has been a happy day for all the Dragon Ball fans around the world. A brand new gameplay trailer of the highly anticipated game, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero was released by Bandai Namco earlier today and the fans just can’t control their excitement.
Fans took to social media and talked about how the upcoming game will be a culmination of the mangaka, Akira Toriyama’s life work.
Akira Toriyama recently passed away leaving a void in the hearts of Dragon Ball fans
Akira Toriyama will go down in history as one of the most important persons in the world of manga and anime. The legendary Japanese mangaka was not only known as the creator of Dragon Ball but also had an immense impact on the creative world as a whole.
The official site for Dragon Ball announced the passing of Akira Toriyama earlier this month and the news was not received well by his millions of fans all around the world. Many fans took to social media and shared their own stories about how Akira Toriyama has had a huge impact on their life in their own different ways.
It is a well-known fact that Akira Toriyama was not much associated with the making of new mangas and animes in the last few years as he had taken a step back to just relax and enjoy his retirement. He just acted as a consultant on the projects and did not even watch the anime or play the games that came out at times.
Toyatarou has written the manga for the last few years. He was also the series illustrator for Dragon Ball Super. Now, after the passing of Akira Toriyama, many fans have voiced their support for Toyatarou and asked the mangaka to keep taking frequent breaks so that he does not end up facing the same health issues as his predecessor did.
