This was a pretty hard blow to wake up to this morning... reading the news I couldn't believe it and it saddened me so much... I still can't think how to express this... Only thing I know is that the spot for the game "DBZ - Kakaroth" hits really different right now.. "We are all Son Goku"
it’s like heart and artist do you get it

I never got too into DBZ, believe I only watched a few episodes here or there on Toonami when I was a kid. Even saying that, there's no denying that it's an absolute landmark piece of media that's proven to be hugely influential to an almost incomprehensible degree. Akira Toriyama's legacy will live on long after him and that's before you get into his stellar character design work for games beyond Dragon Ball. Games such as Dragon Quest and Chrono Trigger. Designs that are instantly recognizable as being his, even to those more unfamiliar with his works such as myself.
Hearing he was only 68 might be the most devastating part of this. Much too young, but at least he had a hell of a career in that time.
