Favorite Dragon Ball moments honour the wisdom from Akira Toriyama and his lasting impact through Goku.

Fans of Akira Toriyama's classic tales discovered the value of redemption arcs and other crucial scenes from her published works. This is how they kept the artist's works permanent.

Without pioneering manga artists like Akira Toriyama, who dedicated a large amount of his life to bringing battle-fueled imaginary universes to life on paper, today's fondness for anime would not even exist. Upon hearing of the legendary Dragon Ball manga artist's death earlier today, both fans and illustrators in the field found it difficult to accept the news. Legendary characters such as Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, and others were created thanks in large part to Toriyama's work, which was a direct influence on other works that came out of the Battle Shonen domain later on. Dragon Ball Z's legacy was cemented in the '80s, even if new-age fans are more familiar with more recent releases like Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, and Jujutsu Kaisen.
