Season 4 Episode 9 - Beyond Dragon Ball: The Legacy of Akira Toriyama

This episode of Ouchcast is a somber one, as we remember the legendary manga artist, Akira Toriyama. We take a moment to reflect on the recent loss of this giant in the anime industry.

The crew dives deep into the personal impact Toriyama's work, particularly Dragon Ball, has had on their lives. We'll hear stories of childhood obsessions, the thrill of Dragonball Dr. Slump, Sandland, and the enduring lessons of friendship, perseverance, and pushing your limits.

But Toriyama's influence extends far beyond individual experiences. We'll discuss his undeniable impact on the landscape of anime as a whole. From the iconic fight scenes that revolutionized animation to the creation of a global phenomenon, Toriyama's legacy is vast.

This episode is a tribute to a master storyteller, a celebration of his work, and a heartfelt goodbye. We'll raise a metaphorical Senzu Bean to Akira Toriyama and the worlds he brought to life. # Akira Toriyama #RIPToriyama #Dragonballz #DrSlump #Arale #Anime
