We've scouted the Earth together, gathered the Dragon balls, and made our wish, but Toriyama is hanging with King Kai, not letting us wish him back because he's done his job. He's graced us with Goku and his friends and all the lessons and adventures of our childhoods. He will truly live forever.
BRO NGL I only cried 3 times at celebrities death: Michael Jackson, Chester Bennington and Akira Toryiama. What hurt the most about Akira was the feeling that my childhood died with him, DBZ represented so much of my childhood and my frienships back then that him dying shook me to the core in the realisation that all of that is actually over. I knew it was over dammit I'm 31 but I never actually realised it.
If there is a heaven, or an afterlife, I'm sure he'd be smiling down, happy seeing everyone miss him, but also celebrate what he meant to them. You included!
Here in Brazil, being the country with the largest number of Japanese descendants outside of Japan, many animes have always had priority on TV over Western cartoons. Dragon Ball, to this day, is many people's introduction to the world of anime. However, something that often gets overlooked is the number of illustrators it has inspired around the world, and that includes me. The simple, stylized art style of Dragon Ball was always the first thing we learned. Whenever we felt our drawings were terrible, we would return to that style because every drawing in the Dragon Ball style looks good. This provided the motivation that drove us to keep trying and improving.
They also aired more because it was cheaper than American cartoons. I'm glad for that, I love the brazilian dubs and openings, gracias a dios nasci en latino america, raaaah 🇧🇷
"Goku was kind, so I wanted to be kind" Bro I'm nearly 30 and I find myself feeling that way about Luffy all the time. Love your work, IP. Keep being great.
This video made me realize how interconnected the Sonic and Dragon Ball fandoms are. Most of the early YT content made by Dragon Ball fans also carried over to the Sonic fandom. One of my earliest memories as a kid was watching a Sonic Unleashed AMV using the song Monster by Skillet. It was amazing.
God remember Mario bros z though like ohhh my god that shit was glorious especially Mecha Sonic battle on the island like that was so cool for me during the earlier internet days.
@@joshshrum2764 idk if you heard but the OG creator of SMBZ (mark haynes) is rebooting the entire series!!! currently there are two episodes out that are an upgrade of the original in every way. he's been through some hard times lately and his old PC broke but he just got a new one like a week ago and is posting more in the community, so our hopes are up for episode 3! he's got a ko-fi if you want to support him. i'm so hyped dude!! fr tho go watch those episodes they're so great.
i was born in 2006 so my introduction to dragon ball was a little late to the rest of the fandom, but man did i still love watching those old amvs. they’ll forever be hard. rip to toriyama. Also great videos as always! ur channels editing is amazing and its fun to just watch u talk abt stuff
I don't have as long a history with Dragon Ball as most. I was 19 when I was finally able to decide for myself what media I would watch, and I put together a list of things I had missed from childhood. Dragon Ball was a part of that list. It felt epic, and timeless, and when I finished I went out looking for more. I found DBZA and fell in love with them as well. And I became a fan. So sad about the loss of Akira Toriyama.
BRO! I was right there with you in the trenches of old school DB youtube! So starved for Dragon ball content I was eating whatever I could. From Tenkaichi 3 machinema's, Amvs, and any other obscure and lesser known content out there. Surprised the webcomic Dragon Ball Multiverse didn't get mentioned. They did the tournament of power years before Toei did and even had the entire population of Namek fused into one.
I remember as a kid spending hours upon hours re-inacting iconic fight scenes and trying to go Super Saiyan with my friends, and thats a memory I'll cherish to my very end. Thank you Akira Toriyama for everything! especially Gohan SUper Saiyan 2!!
Honestly everyone wants to have anime powers at some point like even though if we could the world would definitely be more violent for regular people i mean being real Goku, hurts the earth more than protects it lol.
Akira Toriyama is a genius, and I'm so glad we all experienced his work together in very similar ways. My friend and I used to watch Dragon Ball all the time as kids. Now he's no longer with us, but I continue being a fan for both of us.
I’m glad to see more people appreciate Dragonball for what it is. The simplicity and creativity of the universe is one of kind. It’s so fun and action pact. A lot of people call it “mid” or “basic”. I’m just happy to see people also appreciate it as much as I have my entire life ❤
It is truly fascinating how so many people from different parts of the world had a similar childhood and share so many things in common, just because of one show that came out in the 80s. I have related to every single point made in this video, especially the fan made content part, with each niche or old youtube channel you bring up unlocking memories i forgot I even had. What a great video.
I'm a very recent Dragon Ball fan--I read through the manga literally only in like October--but still. Dragon Ball is something special. It's something special, and you can feel that magic it has that nothing else really does. DB isn't my favorite manga, but it is the one I think has the most heart to it, the most soul to it, and it really deserves every bit of praise it gets. Akira Toriyama was a true legend.
I remembered when I was little, my first introduction to DB was at my aunt's house. The Frieza fight arc was airing in hindi at the time when I was in my home country so I sat down to watch it since I had nothing else to do and was immediately glued to the screen. I loved samurai jack as a kid and felt like most shows at the time were like it until I saw this fight. I still remember every moment about it, being in complete shock to when Goku was forced to kill Frieza despite him not wanting to is still one of the earliest memories that I can call so vividly. I haven't gotten into this series since then because I did not remember the name of the show at the time but tbh I would've been a dragon ball fan of I did so it's all good 👍. Thank you Akira Toriyama, I promise that I will one day read your work
Dragonball came into my life a bit later than it did for a lot of people. But it still fundementally changed my life so much that now I'm here making videos about it. Thank you for making this wonderful tribute to this wonderful series Pitstop!
You have no idea how much this video means to me (and I'm sure many other fans) as a Dragon Ball fan. I grew up privileged enough to watch the beginning of the series, playing the games and experiencing the Fandom through my friends and videogames offline, but the AMV's and fan discussions online. Internet Pitstop, you are a treasure of a youtuber. Keep being amazing, my guy. You genuinely brought happy nostalgic tears to my eyes
A few years ago, my younger cousin had passed away at the age of 10 years old. He was a bright young boy, and anytime I’ve rewatched the original dragon ball, I can’t help but look at Goku and see that same boy in him. Dragon Ball had that immense impact on me as a kid and there’s almost nothing that has had that same impact, and I’m so glad I got to experience the greatest of, Akira Toriyama - May both of you fly high, much love.
My first introduction to Dragon Ball was from the NES game, Dragon Power back in the late 1980's. Then in 1993 when I was getting to know what anime was, in an EGM magazine I saw some images of a Dragon Ball Z arcade game and a couple of fighting games on the Super Famicom. 1995 was when I got to see Deagon Ball on TV right after I saw the Spanish version of the mangas. 1996 I saw DBZ on TV right after I graduated high school. I even went to rent Dragon Ball Final Bout from Blockbuster video when it cane to America. Man, i could make a whole video myself talking about this and other shows I grew up with.
On a rewatch rn, i missed your patreon instead of an ad part. That really speaks volumes about character dude. I cant say ive ever seen a youtuber do that. Good dude.
The DBZ AMV with SSJ2 Gohan with the song kryponite from three doors down is one of my fav DBZ memories, among the other AMV's you listed. I remember 28 megabyte Real Player Video files taking many hours to download, but I was so happy to have a new episode of DBZ to watch, even in its terrible quality and with subs so small you could barely read them due to the low resolution. When someone would call and the internet would be disconnected, I would be so mad, but it at least made the fully downloaded video feel more worthwhile by the end of it. Thanks for such a great video!
My grandparents a few states away owned a random selection of VHS tapes just for when kids in the family were over. One year I visited, they had aqcquired one that had the couple episodes where Goku first went super and defeated Freeza. I had never seen DragonBall Z and I watched it multiple times that visit. It was sooo cool.
Oh man do I have so many memories of all this. So many DBZ Linkin Park AMVs have just been stored away in my brain for decades now. And I loved that father/son AMV set to Still Fighting It by Ben Folds. Thinking about it now it really is crazy how much watching and rewatching of DBZ I did back then. The Toonami airing was life. I remember after Final Atonement aired there was no new episodes for nearly a year. I knew a bit about what happened because my brother and I had shitty internet access that we used to pirate the movies before they got american releases and such. But when that Toonami long promo released on CN for the next part of the series starting with Evil Lives On I remember screaming for my brother to come see it I was so excited. When the Budokai games came around I played them endlessly. Every time I unlocked some new cool beam attack I had to get my brother to show it to him EVERY time. And I remember my favorite was downloading the old DBZ Half-Life mod someone made called Earth's Special Forces. I would play that online and join lobbies where people would just beam struggle against eachother all day. Shout out to anyone who remembers ESF. And I also stayed up too late playing Legacy of Goku 2, Buu's Fury, and Dragonball GT Transformation on my GBA. I also remember being part of an online community in the form of "SatanCity .net" which was basically just a forum where people shared cool DB shit and talked about the series. I remember coming across Dragonball AF and trying to discover if it was real or not. My brother and I once downloaded a bunch of little animated dragonball sprites until the family PC desktop was just a mess of little DBZ characters fighting and powering up and shit. Probably a miracle we didn't destroy that PC with viruses. My old best friend Jeff and I when we were kids always pretending we were super saiyans fighting some crazy enemy we came up with... This stuff is all irreplaceable and it's all thanks to Toriyama we have these memories.
I only liked Linkin park through AMV’s back then funnily three days was more of my band as a edgy kid, but i will stand by this opinion though that crawling is way too edgy, and it hurts Linkin parks image and maybe in the end is overplayed i still love it, but even they prefer somewhere i belong, and i definitely agree, hell crawling just feels like it was made for the time period so it doesn’t age particularly well.
I remember being a dragon ball fan as far as I can remember. I recall being super into the Tenkaichi games and watching AMVS of Z and GT on my grandmas computer on hot summer days. I don’t know how exactly I became a fan but i always tried to go super saiyan or do the kamehameha with friends during recess and a very strict Catholic school which didn’t take kindly to the fights we!d recreate. My father loved Piccolo and Majin Buu, and he doesn’t really care about anime in the first place but always asked to see them on screen every time I played a DBZ game. Thank you Toriyama sensei, and thank you IP for the wonderful tribute to the legend,
So much nostalgia in this vid, great work as always man. I remember drawing DBZ characters in sketch books growing up, I was terrible at drawing back then but Akira Toriyama was a massive inspiration to me. Appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos IP, it shows. Keep it up!
There's two types of fans: 1. The ones who reminisce fondly about arguing about their favorite fictional characters and 2. The traumatized ones who regret it Luckily i'm in camp 1, that shit was fun as hell.
I feel a similar way about Osamu Tezuka, and he died before I was even born. For them to not be alive anymore carries a surreal feeling, especially when their work still holds relevance. When someone touches you with their messages or their works they seem immortal. I would argue as long as we reflect on and carry those messages with us, they are immortal, even if their life has expired. RIP Toriyama, Tezuka, and the other legends who added to us as people. 🙏
This man inspired so many lives and impacted me a lot throughout my whole life. RIP, you'll never be forgotten, and thank you for everything you have given us Akira Toriyama 💔
I remember when i was little in Brazil and this guy was selling DragonBall AF as a game and i was so hyped about it, it was Dragonball Tenkaichi but god damn it was modified with some crazy transformation and i was so happy, good old times.
I really appreciate the effort you put into this. I was really sad when they announced that Toriyama-sensei passed away and it's been comforting to see how many of us have been influenced by his art. I'm looking forward to the projects that he left behind and hope that his spirit shines through.
Yoooo it's my favorite guy to watch! Let's goooo he made another banger! I already know this one is gonna be great. RIP Akira Toriyama, sad to see such an amazing artist go. Inspiring on so many levels and the impact he made is immeasurable. Happy to see you honoring him like this. Thank you IP for the amazing content. You are a big inspiration ❤️
Dragon ball is in my top 5 favorite anime and manga so when I woke up on March 8th and heard about the news I was devastated and shed some tears, legit one of the first things I seen on Instagram. I dedicated the whole day and started rereading all of dragon ball and watched a few of my favorite episodes. Dragon ball has some of the best fights, great characters and legit some of the most hyped filled moments of any anime. Seeing Goku go from a little kid growing up in the wild with no on to making tons of friends, adventuring out and fighting all kinds of enemies fills my heart. My earliest memory of watching dragon ball was the first goku and vegeta fight it was airing on some random channel in my home country of Bosnia and I was watching great ape vegeta run everyone shits 😂. So to say that Dragonball means a lot of me is an understatement, that and Naruto are what got me into anime and my love for it and I will always be thankful for Akira Toriyama for that ❤. RIP Akira Toriyama we miss u
Yeah i couldn’t believe he died, but if Oda goes I’m definitely going to ball the only reason i didn’t over Akira is because he’s well alcaimed, and him passing on will just inspire people more just like Goku, pushing you forward from the beyond supporting you from the sidelines.
BRUH my brother and I used to make Pivot Stick animations, and they were almost all inspired by DBZ, especially with tons of instant transmissions and Kamehamehas.
He will always be remembered, he inspired so many to do so much, to grow stronger, to never give up, inspired to create. A true artist through and through
Bro, this video hit me on so many levels. Dragon Ball has been such a part of my life and made me reminisce and look back fondly. From the school ground lore during the pre-internet days, to playing Legacy of Goku, the Trading Card Game, buying the Broly movies. Too many memories. Thank you Akira Toriyama
I always loved dragonball since DBZ would come on tv on Saturday mornings when I was young. I never really got into the fandom or games tho, cause as a girl growing up that stuff was really socially inaccessible, especially when boys my age would get really elitist about it. So for a while I pretended not to like it but would still go crazy for it on tv. I found Goku really inspiring and he genuinely helped me to become competitive and never give up on something, especially athletics. I even forced my dad to watch one of the movies in theaters with me since I didn’t have any friends at the time that would. I’ll never forget, in fourth grade I was one of two artists in my class. I primarily drew dragons, and the other boy only drew dragonball characters. He was super good at it, almost replicating the style perfectly. In my head we became bitter rivals and I always did my best to show him up with my art skills without telling him. I always wonder what could have happened if I approached him as a friend instead
As someone who became a fan during the end of this Dragon Ball Drought, EVERYTHING you said was SO TRUE! I had forgotten it all but omg, this video brought back memories. From scouring AMV's with my cousin to watching those fanmade vids with only subtitles and everything in between. It's cool to see the small differences in our fan lives tho as for me, I remember playing some Dragon Ball adventure fangame using sprites from a DS game, Dragon Ball Devolution and Dragon Block C as opposed to the ones you played. (the kart game was a classic tho)
I like how he says the video is not going to be emotional, and it's like the most nostalgic DB video I've seen. The GBA games, the AF was real times, the amv's with new metal music, omg, time went by. BTW one emv was great was Gohan, Kryptonite. I've been a suscriber only for some months and loved your videos, you are so OG. Cheers from Uruguay. Edit: Noooo bro I spoke to early you brought up the Kryptonite song! Dude we're bonded by games, music and our generation through long distances.
I did similar things growing up, every time there was a new kid at school my friends and I would go up to them and ask the most important question "do you like Dragon Ball Z" almost always the answer was yes and just like that a new friendship was created.
Sorry for the Bad english, I come from Germany: I'll be honest, the last time I cried over a public Person was by Satoru Iwata & Chester Bennington (Linkin Park and Dragonball, I see a connection). I thought that if a celebrity died it wouldn't affect me anymore. But when I was at work and my brother suddenly wrote to me, saying that Toriyama had died, I couldn't help but cry. It was like an old friend had died. Akira Toriyama's works have accompanied me throughout my life. Regardless of whether it is Dr. Slump, Sandland, Neko Majin, all his short stories or of course Dragonball, his manga have had a lasting impact on me. I would even go so far as to say that I learned more life wisdom from Toriyama than from my parents (I don't have much of a connection with them). The dangers of excessive pride, the importance of friendship and how many special adventures we can find in life if we just look for them. Without this man I might not be the person I am today. Here you can see again how important art can be for a person. Even though I never knew him personally, I thank him from the bottom of my heart. Arigato Gozaimasu......Sayonara💜
I remember when I was younger, I had these Dragon Ball Z toys. I had one of this big muscular looking guy with crazy super Saiyan hair. My first thought was "Trunks! Vegeta's son" cause I remember him getting big like that, his clothes were a little weird though. I showed my brother "Look it's Trunks" he told me "That's not Trunks. That's Broly" that was my first introduction to Broly
36:42 im so happy that sparking zero is actually gonna have this feature and the amount of potential this is going to have will be absolutely amazing literally CINEMA✋🏼😶🤚🏼✨
I m very sad because dragon ball seems to have helped so many ppl to find courage and find their way. And even tho I am the only guy in my friend group to be a dragon ball fan, i have always lacked courage and that go getting attitude that i really want but cant see to chase
Just finished the video, absolutely loved it. I feel like a bit of an outsider since I didn’t get into dragon ball until the pandemic, but I remember a lot of videos similar to the ones you talked about popping up from other fandoms I was apart of at the time. Those tenkaichi text fan fictions took me back because I used to watch similar videos in Mario 64 all the time as a kid. I had the exact same creative awakening you did but with Nintendo fan content which I think is really cool. It’s so crazy because even though I got into it so late, I still see dragon ball as this motivational story that always compels me to become the best version of myself, to always try, as that song goes. Will definitely be adding that to my gym playlist lol Also I wanted to say, I adored all the green screen edits you made putting yourself in the background. I know you’ve been doing it for a few videos now, but it felt so raw and special in this one specifically given the subject matter. That shot of you laying down face up on the nimbus is such a vibe. I know I’ve said it before but you’re an inspiration man, please keep being you
Like you, I don't have a single memory of life without Dragon Ball. From my earliest moments, it inspired me in the deepest parts of my soul. Learning to draw, taking up martial arts, standing up for others, being kind and courageous. There is so much I could say about his work, but none of it would be enough to pay Toriyama back for all he has given me. All I can do is continue to live on and embody what he established in my young heart. RIP Akira Toriyama And thank you so much for making this video. It was beautiful and getting to hear your experience, which reflects mine and so many others who got to grow up with Dragon Ball, was amazing. Your videos are pure art.
I love how IP videos gives me nostalgia of something I never had. It's like he grabs me by the balls and drags me into a nostalgia stage breaking every fucking rule of it. You make this look easy. Love from Brasil!
It‘s so insane to me that even as someone who claimed that I‘ve never been super into Dragon Ball I was genuinely upset by the news that Toriyama died. I watched it as a kid sure but I was never that big on it but when the news came out I was still down after all if not for him Anime and Manga and even other popculture media would not be what is is now, what a Legend man
YO I AM CRYING !!!!! I always appreciate when you drop a video but this one hit soooo hard. Seriously we might all literally be different but we share the same heart when it comes to our childhood and the influences from anime / video games. Your creativity helps me make the right choices for my life man I appreciate you !!
OMG THE ITS MY LIFE AND KRIPTONITE AMVS!!! I Found them before youtube. I would search for Dragon Ball stuff on Kazaa and would never quite know with what I would END Up. I would watch the its my life one everyday. Even tried to burn it on a CD to bring it with me on a holiday. Thanks for mentionning those, its surreal!
Thank you for this serotonin boost right now. I swear, Dragon Ball Z (and Toonami) saved me as a kid. Life was rough. I was bullied pretty badly in elementary school. DBZ and Toonami gave me something to look forward to. It was pretty much the only thing I looked forward to. I wanted to grow up to be Bulma so bad lol 😂 Thank you IP and thank you Akira Toriyama.
Seeing you post this made my day. This tribute video for Dragon Ball hits too close to home for not only me but us Dragon Ball fans. I been a fan of your content and I’m excited to see your channel grow in the future. Your editing is 1 of 1 btw. 🐐
Love that you specifically used music from The Legacy of Goku games. They had such an amazing soundtrack and the 8bit versions of the US score are done so well. Those games were so ahead of the times, literally just isometric DBZ: Kakarot like 20 years earlier. Free roaming on the GBA blew my mind, I miss being a kid man lol.
Wrote the comment before I got to part of the video where you specifically mention LOG... you're such a real one dude. Thank you for making this content, I still stand by saying you truly are the late night Adult Swim of YT. Best vibes bar none.
While I am personally not a fan of dragon ball, I’m glad that this show has touched so many people. Seeing so many people come together and share their love for this show and manga makes me happy. This is why I love anime, because it has such an amazing affect on some people (it can also have a cringeworthy affect, but still). I did watch this show as a kid and again while I was not a fan, I can understand why so many people love this show and why so many artists are inspired by this show. I appreciate what this show is and I love how much time and dedication you put into this video makes me so happy. Rest in peace toriyama, you were an inspiration to many.
My introduction to Dragonball was when the Buu saga was airing on Cartoon Network in the early 2000s. One of my first memories of Kindergarten was pretending I was Goku flying around and doing ki blasts at recess. At least 2 other kids there also saw the show and played with me. Getting close to 30 now and my love for Dragonball never stopped. My best friend even has a Goku tattoo
Damn, so many DB songs I've absorbed through osmosis (I haven't watched a single episode of DB). I don't even know where I heard the opening to Dragon Ball GT but i immediately recognized the melody (while you were shouting out your Patreon supporters) without being able to place it and it kinda drove me insane looking for it (thank you for the soundtrack in the credits, saved me hours probably).
The way my jaw dropped when I saw that old Spy Kids toy at 5:51. Had the same one and also used it as a makeshift dragon ball character. Crazy how this series was able to impact so many of us in similar ways. RIP Toriyama
Thanks a lot pit stop. I’ve started working since the last 2 weeks and your vids are just the best thing to listen to while I’m busy with work. It’s almost like I’m seeing the vid just by hearing you talk
Another great thing about dragon ball is that through some of the movies the dubbed versions had nu metal like Deftones, and Disturbed, so it’s like they had official AMV’s, it’s like the coolest shit ever, like Goku, going super saiyan to change in the house of flies by Deftones, like literal chills it goes crazy.
I started with Dragon ball in 2000. I specifically remember the day it aired on Cartoon Network. Like many, was my first foray into Anime, and even led to the rabbit hole of Japanese culture. The influence and impact it has even now is ridiculous. You’ll never see me saying Dragon Ball has the greatest story in fiction, or the greatest character development. But dammit is it my favorite.
Gotta thank my cousin for getting me into this amazing series Did my first Kamehameha in bt2 And thought it was spanish for something Thanks for the memories
Wow. The Legacy of Goku II music really hit me and got me reflecting on how Dragon Ball changed my life as well. Several people have done Toriyama tribute videos, and none of them got me like that intro. Thank you for this.
Hell yes! You’re a legend for this, made me remember so many small moments in my life find obscure dbz content. Thanks for making this man. Rest in peace Toriyama Sensei.
That episode with Gohan and the robot was a total tear jerker. It sucked it was skipped over at first but I caught it on Telemundo with uncensored DBZ and damn it was so nice and emotional. You’re the goat bro. RIP Akira Toriyama.
Dragon Ball has always had a special place in my heart. Got into it as a kid through my older cousin giving me his VHS tapes of the cell saga and BT3 on the Wii. I appreciate the emphasis you put on fan content because at least to me, that was how I became an even bigger fan. DBZA and AMVs consumed my late elementary-middle school days.

BRO NGL I only cried 3 times at celebrities death: Michael Jackson, Chester Bennington and Akira Toryiama. What hurt the most about Akira was the feeling that my childhood died with him, DBZ represented so much of my childhood and my frienships back then that him dying shook me to the core in the realisation that all of that is actually over. I knew it was over dammit I'm 31 but I never actually realised it.
If there is a heaven, or an afterlife, I'm sure he'd be smiling down, happy seeing everyone miss him, but also celebrate what he meant to them. You included!
I’m the same way. Mine were Eddie Guerrero, Kobe Bryant, and Akira Toriyama
I cried at Eazy E death scene on Straight Outta Compton movie, like I was only a toddler back then
Thank you so much for the kind words you said! It means a lot.
It does my heart good to know IP and myself probably crossed paths fighting the good fight in the Death Battle comment section.
Here in Brazil, being the country with the largest number of Japanese descendants outside of Japan, many animes have always had priority on TV over Western cartoons. Dragon Ball, to this day, is many people's introduction to the world of anime. However, something that often gets overlooked is the number of illustrators it has inspired around the world, and that includes me.
The simple, stylized art style of Dragon Ball was always the first thing we learned. Whenever we felt our drawings were terrible, we would return to that style because every drawing in the Dragon Ball style looks good. This provided the motivation that drove us to keep trying and improving.
They also aired more because it was cheaper than American cartoons. I'm glad for that, I love the brazilian dubs and openings, gracias a dios nasci en latino america, raaaah 🇧🇷
"Goku was kind, so I wanted to be kind"
Bro I'm nearly 30 and I find myself feeling that way about Luffy all the time. Love your work, IP. Keep being great.
Akira Toriyama is the father of modern shounen, he motivated many children to create their own manga - such as Oda Eichiro and Masashi Kishimoto
also the father of drawing naked toddlers
@@chase5298japan gonna japan. 😮
Technically Kinnikuman is the father of the modern Shonen, but hey alright.
And probably some American animators, like Amphibia's Matt Braly
Don't forget Yoshihiro ToGoatshi. DBZ also influenced hxh
This video made me realize how interconnected the Sonic and Dragon Ball fandoms are. Most of the early YT content made by Dragon Ball fans also carried over to the Sonic fandom. One of my earliest memories as a kid was watching a Sonic Unleashed AMV using the song Monster by Skillet. It was amazing.
God remember Mario bros z though like ohhh my god that shit was glorious especially Mecha Sonic battle on the island like that was so cool for me during the earlier internet days.

i was born in 2006 so my introduction to dragon ball was a little late to the rest of the fandom, but man did i still love watching those old amvs. they’ll forever be hard. rip to toriyama.
Also great videos as always! ur channels editing is amazing and its fun to just watch u talk abt stuff
Props for dedicating time to shouting out that Dragon Ball AF picture in 'the dark times'. Absolutely iconic time to be alive.
I don't have as long a history with Dragon Ball as most. I was 19 when I was finally able to decide for myself what media I would watch, and I put together a list of things I had missed from childhood. Dragon Ball was a part of that list. It felt epic, and timeless, and when I finished I went out looking for more. I found DBZA and fell in love with them as well. And I became a fan. So sad about the loss of Akira Toriyama.
Ugh you talking about the linkin park amv era always gives me chills like it’s 2006 all over again 😭
One of the greatest artists who ever lived. RIP Akira Toriyama
BRO! I was right there with you in the trenches of old school DB youtube! So starved for Dragon ball content I was eating whatever I could. From Tenkaichi 3 machinema's, Amvs, and any other obscure and lesser known content out there. Surprised the webcomic Dragon Ball Multiverse didn't get mentioned. They did the tournament of power years before Toei did and even had the entire population of Namek fused into one.
Multiverse is soooooooo good. Especially Mondo Cool and his motion comic adaptation
I remember as a kid spending hours upon hours re-inacting iconic fight scenes and trying to go Super Saiyan with my friends, and thats a memory I'll cherish to my very end. Thank you Akira Toriyama for everything! especially Gohan SUper Saiyan 2!!
Honestly everyone wants to have anime powers at some point like even though if we could the world would definitely be more violent for regular people i mean being real Goku, hurts the earth more than protects it lol.
Akira Toriyama is a genius, and I'm so glad we all experienced his work together in very similar ways. My friend and I used to watch Dragon Ball all the time as kids. Now he's no longer with us, but I continue being a fan for both of us.
I’m glad to see more people appreciate Dragonball for what it is. The simplicity and creativity of the universe is one of kind. It’s so fun and action pact. A lot of people call it “mid” or “basic”. I’m just happy to see people also appreciate it as much as I have my entire life ❤
It is truly fascinating how so many people from different parts of the world had a similar childhood and share so many things in common, just because of one show that came out in the 80s. I have related to every single point made in this video, especially the fan made content part, with each niche or old youtube channel you bring up unlocking memories i forgot I even had. What a great video.
I have not commented on a youtube video in so long, I even forgot that I have the words Super Saiyajin in my name.
I'm a very recent Dragon Ball fan--I read through the manga literally only in like October--but still. Dragon Ball is something special. It's something special, and you can feel that magic it has that nothing else really does. DB isn't my favorite manga, but it is the one I think has the most heart to it, the most soul to it, and it really deserves every bit of praise it gets. Akira Toriyama was a true legend.
I remembered when I was little, my first introduction to DB was at my aunt's house. The Frieza fight arc was airing in hindi at the time when I was in my home country so I sat down to watch it since I had nothing else to do and was immediately glued to the screen. I loved samurai jack as a kid and felt like most shows at the time were like it until I saw this fight. I still remember every moment about it, being in complete shock to when Goku was forced to kill Frieza despite him not wanting to is still one of the earliest memories that I can call so vividly. I haven't gotten into this series since then because I did not remember the name of the show at the time but tbh I would've been a dragon ball fan of I did so it's all good 👍. Thank you Akira Toriyama, I promise that I will one day read your work
Sorry IP, I'll watch your video now
Dragonball came into my life a bit later than it did for a lot of people. But it still fundementally changed my life so much that now I'm here making videos about it. Thank you for making this wonderful tribute to this wonderful series Pitstop!
You have no idea how much this video means to me (and I'm sure many other fans) as a Dragon Ball fan. I grew up privileged enough to watch the beginning of the series, playing the games and experiencing the Fandom through my friends and videogames offline, but the AMV's and fan discussions online. Internet Pitstop, you are a treasure of a youtuber. Keep being amazing, my guy. You genuinely brought happy nostalgic tears to my eyes
The DBZ AMV era will never be beaten. It was like an induction starter pack itself.
"Before it was a meme, I was that 'can he beat goku though?' Kid."
90'S BABIES RISE UP! XD
I actually got chills when he said it.
A few years ago, my younger cousin had passed away at the age of 10 years old.
He was a bright young boy, and anytime I’ve rewatched the original dragon ball, I can’t help but look at Goku and see that same boy in him.
Dragon Ball had that immense impact on me as a kid and there’s almost nothing that has had that same impact, and I’m so glad I got to experience the greatest of,
Akira Toriyama

May both of you fly high, much love.
My first introduction to Dragon Ball was from the NES game, Dragon Power back in the late 1980's. Then in 1993 when I was getting to know what anime was, in an EGM magazine I saw some images of a Dragon Ball Z arcade game and a couple of fighting games on the Super Famicom. 1995 was when I got to see Deagon Ball on TV right after I saw the Spanish version of the mangas. 1996 I saw DBZ on TV right after I graduated high school. I even went to rent Dragon Ball Final Bout from Blockbuster video when it cane to America. Man, i could make a whole video myself talking about this and other shows I grew up with.
That’s crazy bro.
On a rewatch rn, i missed your patreon instead of an ad part. That really speaks volumes about character dude. I cant say ive ever seen a youtuber do that. Good dude.
The DBZ AMV with SSJ2 Gohan with the song kryponite from three doors down is one of my fav DBZ memories, among the other AMV's you listed. I remember 28 megabyte Real Player Video files taking many hours to download, but I was so happy to have a new episode of DBZ to watch, even in its terrible quality and with subs so small you could barely read them due to the low resolution. When someone would call and the internet would be disconnected, I would be so mad, but it at least made the fully downloaded video feel more worthwhile by the end of it. Thanks for such a great video!
Lol like dragon ball, Naruto, and like Gen three, and four Pokémon anime AMV’s, those really where the days huh.
@@joshshrum2764 They really were! :)
My grandparents a few states away owned a random selection of VHS tapes just for when kids in the family were over. One year I visited, they had aqcquired one that had the couple episodes where Goku first went super and defeated Freeza. I had never seen DragonBall Z and I watched it multiple times that visit. It was sooo cool.
Oh man do I have so many memories of all this. So many DBZ Linkin Park AMVs have just been stored away in my brain for decades now. And I loved that father/son AMV set to Still Fighting It by Ben Folds.
Thinking about it now it really is crazy how much watching and rewatching of DBZ I did back then. The Toonami airing was life. I remember after Final Atonement aired there was no new episodes for nearly a year. I knew a bit about what happened because my brother and I had shitty internet access that we used to pirate the movies before they got american releases and such. But when that Toonami long promo released on CN for the next part of the series starting with Evil Lives On I remember screaming for my brother to come see it I was so excited.
When the Budokai games came around I played them endlessly. Every time I unlocked some new cool beam attack I had to get my brother to show it to him EVERY time. And I remember my favorite was downloading the old DBZ Half-Life mod someone made called Earth's Special Forces. I would play that online and join lobbies where people would just beam struggle against eachother all day. Shout out to anyone who remembers ESF. And I also stayed up too late playing Legacy of Goku 2, Buu's Fury, and Dragonball GT Transformation on my GBA.
I also remember being part of an online community in the form of "SatanCity .net" which was basically just a forum where people shared cool DB shit and talked about the series. I remember coming across Dragonball AF and trying to discover if it was real or not. My brother and I once downloaded a bunch of little animated dragonball sprites until the family PC desktop was just a mess of little DBZ characters fighting and powering up and shit. Probably a miracle we didn't destroy that PC with viruses.
My old best friend Jeff and I when we were kids always pretending we were super saiyans fighting some crazy enemy we came up with... This stuff is all irreplaceable and it's all thanks to Toriyama we have these memories.
I only liked Linkin park through AMV’s back then funnily three days was more of my band as a edgy kid, but i will stand by this opinion though that crawling is way too edgy, and it hurts Linkin parks image and maybe in the end is overplayed i still love it, but even they prefer somewhere i belong, and i definitely agree, hell crawling just feels like it was made for the time period so it doesn’t age particularly well.
I remember being a dragon ball fan as far as I can remember. I recall being super into the Tenkaichi games and watching AMVS of Z and GT on my grandmas computer on hot summer days. I don’t know how exactly I became a fan but i always tried to go super saiyan or do the kamehameha with friends during recess and a very strict Catholic school which didn’t take kindly to the fights we!d recreate. My father loved Piccolo and Majin Buu, and he doesn’t really care about anime in the first place but always asked to see them on screen every time I played a DBZ game.
Thank you Toriyama sensei, and thank you IP for the wonderful tribute to the legend,
I cried the whole week. Rewatched a lot of DB stuff. Rest in peace papa
I am just gonna ruin everyone's day just by saying my official introduction to dragon ball is the live-action movie.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
That’s okay it doesn’t matter if your introduction was dragon ball GT (best series btw) dragon ball can be loved by all
hey, if it made a positive impact, thats gud enough
i dont know what to say..
It's ok it was my dad's too 💀☠️
Roshi’s training arc literally changed my life and because of that i have this channel now. R.I.P Akira Toriyama, and thank you IP.
So much nostalgia in this vid, great work as always man.
I remember drawing DBZ characters in sketch books growing up, I was terrible at drawing back then but Akira Toriyama was a massive inspiration to me.
Appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos IP, it shows. Keep it up!
There's two types of fans:
1. The ones who reminisce fondly about arguing about their favorite fictional characters
and
2. The traumatized ones who regret it
Luckily i'm in camp 1, that shit was fun as hell.
I got my job as a video editor because i self taught myself how to edit AMVs. That shit was DEFINING
I feel a similar way about Osamu Tezuka, and he died before I was even born. For them to not be alive anymore carries a surreal feeling, especially when their work still holds relevance.
When someone touches you with their messages or their works they seem immortal. I would argue as long as we reflect on and carry those messages with us, they are immortal, even if their life has expired.
RIP Toriyama, Tezuka, and the other legends who added to us as people. 🙏
The pivot era of the DBZ Drought is my favorite era, Pivotpro333 is a LEGEND
This man inspired so many lives and impacted me a lot throughout my whole life. RIP, you'll never be forgotten, and thank you for everything you have given us Akira Toriyama 💔
Your videos are too goated to not be popular. You hit that nostalgic sweet spot in every one. Bringing tears to my eyes.
I remember when i was little in Brazil and this guy was selling DragonBall AF as a game and i was so hyped about it, it was Dragonball Tenkaichi but god damn it was modified with some crazy transformation and i was so happy, good old times.
I really appreciate the effort you put into this. I was really sad when they announced that Toriyama-sensei passed away and it's been comforting to see how many of us have been influenced by his art. I'm looking forward to the projects that he left behind and hope that his spirit shines through.
Yoooo it's my favorite guy to watch! Let's goooo he made another banger! I already know this one is gonna be great.
RIP Akira Toriyama, sad to see such an amazing artist go. Inspiring on so many levels and the impact he made is immeasurable. Happy to see you honoring him like this.
Thank you IP for the amazing content. You are a big inspiration ❤️
Dragon ball is in my top 5 favorite anime and manga so when I woke up on March 8th and heard about the news I was devastated and shed some tears, legit one of the first things I seen on Instagram. I dedicated the whole day and started rereading all of dragon ball and watched a few of my favorite episodes. Dragon ball has some of the best fights, great characters and legit some of the most hyped filled moments of any anime. Seeing Goku go from a little kid growing up in the wild with no on to making tons of friends, adventuring out and fighting all kinds of enemies fills my heart. My earliest memory of watching dragon ball was the first goku and vegeta fight it was airing on some random channel in my home country of Bosnia and I was watching great ape vegeta run everyone shits 😂. So to say that Dragonball means a lot of me is an understatement, that and Naruto are what got me into anime and my love for it and I will always be thankful for Akira Toriyama for that ❤. RIP Akira Toriyama we miss u
Yeah i couldn’t believe he died, but if Oda goes I’m definitely going to ball the only reason i didn’t over Akira is because he’s well alcaimed, and him passing on will just inspire people more just like Goku, pushing you forward from the beyond supporting you from the sidelines.
You made our childhoods. Thank you, Toriyama Sensei. Until we meet again.
36:42 CRAZY how they made this an actual feature in sparking.
BRUH my brother and I used to make Pivot Stick animations, and they were almost all inspired by DBZ, especially with tons of instant transmissions and Kamehamehas.
Man, that dragon ball opening is NOSTALGIC, i watched dragon ball in japanese, spanish and english, and they're all peak
Dragon Ball... Kid Goku... may be one of my all time favorite protags
He will always be remembered, he inspired so many to do so much, to grow stronger, to never give up, inspired to create. A true artist through and through
Bro, this video hit me on so many levels. Dragon Ball has been such a part of my life and made me reminisce and look back fondly. From the school ground lore during the pre-internet days, to playing Legacy of Goku, the Trading Card Game, buying the Broly movies. Too many memories. Thank you Akira Toriyama
I always loved dragonball since DBZ would come on tv on Saturday mornings when I was young. I never really got into the fandom or games tho, cause as a girl growing up that stuff was really socially inaccessible, especially when boys my age would get really elitist about it. So for a while I pretended not to like it but would still go crazy for it on tv. I found Goku really inspiring and he genuinely helped me to become competitive and never give up on something, especially athletics. I even forced my dad to watch one of the movies in theaters with me since I didn’t have any friends at the time that would. I’ll never forget, in fourth grade I was one of two artists in my class. I primarily drew dragons, and the other boy only drew dragonball characters. He was super good at it, almost replicating the style perfectly. In my head we became bitter rivals and I always did my best to show him up with my art skills without telling him. I always wonder what could have happened if I approached him as a friend instead
As someone who became a fan during the end of this Dragon Ball Drought, EVERYTHING you said was SO TRUE! I had forgotten it all but omg, this video brought back memories. From scouring AMV's with my cousin to watching those fanmade vids with only subtitles and everything in between. It's cool to see the small differences in our fan lives tho as for me, I remember playing some Dragon Ball adventure fangame using sprites from a DS game, Dragon Ball Devolution and Dragon Block C as opposed to the ones you played. (the kart game was a classic tho)
Im a simple man I see a internet pitstop video and I click it, best content creator on TH-cam
Appreciate that!
@@cedricspencer720 also thank you for the constant love I see you’re an OG fan to the channel! Much love!
@@InternetPitstop no problem man, keep doing your thing!
I like how he says the video is not going to be emotional, and it's like the most nostalgic DB video I've seen. The GBA games, the AF was real times, the amv's with new metal music, omg, time went by. BTW one emv was great was Gohan, Kryptonite. I've been a suscriber only for some months and loved your videos, you are so OG. Cheers from Uruguay. Edit: Noooo bro I spoke to early you brought up the Kryptonite song! Dude we're bonded by games, music and our generation through long distances.
Art can bond ppl all around the world!
I did similar things growing up, every time there was a new kid at school my friends and I would go up to them and ask the most important question "do you like Dragon Ball Z" almost always the answer was yes and just like that a new friendship was created.
Sorry for the Bad english, I come from Germany:
I'll be honest, the last time I cried over a public Person was by Satoru Iwata & Chester Bennington (Linkin Park and Dragonball, I see a connection). I thought that if a celebrity died it wouldn't affect me anymore. But when I was at work and my brother suddenly wrote to me, saying that Toriyama had died, I couldn't help but cry. It was like an old friend had died. Akira Toriyama's works have accompanied me throughout my life. Regardless of whether it is Dr. Slump, Sandland, Neko Majin, all his short stories or of course Dragonball, his manga have had a lasting impact on me. I would even go so far as to say that I learned more life wisdom from Toriyama than from my parents (I don't have much of a connection with them). The dangers of excessive pride, the importance of friendship and how many special adventures we can find in life if we just look for them. Without this man I might not be the person I am today. Here you can see again how important art can be for a person. Even though I never knew him personally, I thank him from the bottom of my heart.
Arigato Gozaimasu......Sayonara💜
Sorry for the bad English he says 🙄🧐
I remember when I was younger, I had these Dragon Ball Z toys. I had one of this big muscular looking guy with crazy super Saiyan hair. My first thought was "Trunks! Vegeta's son" cause I remember him getting big like that, his clothes were a little weird though. I showed my brother "Look it's Trunks" he told me "That's not Trunks. That's Broly" that was my first introduction to Broly
Thank you for this trubute to Akira Toriyama, IP. I'll always cherish memories of watching DBZ with my brother
1:11 who's gonna tell bruh that joy is still an emotion?
36:42 im so happy that sparking zero is actually gonna have this feature and the amount of potential this is going to have will be absolutely amazing literally CINEMA✋🏼😶🤚🏼✨
I m very sad because dragon ball seems to have helped so many ppl to find courage and find their way. And even tho I am the only guy in my friend group to be a dragon ball fan, i have always lacked courage and that go getting attitude that i really want but cant see to chase
Man this is gonna make me cry isn’t it
Just finished the video, absolutely loved it. I feel like a bit of an outsider since I didn’t get into dragon ball until the pandemic, but I remember a lot of videos similar to the ones you talked about popping up from other fandoms I was apart of at the time. Those tenkaichi text fan fictions took me back because I used to watch similar videos in Mario 64 all the time as a kid. I had the exact same creative awakening you did but with Nintendo fan content which I think is really cool.
It’s so crazy because even though I got into it so late, I still see dragon ball as this motivational story that always compels me to become the best version of myself, to always try, as that song goes. Will definitely be adding that to my gym playlist lol
Also I wanted to say, I adored all the green screen edits you made putting yourself in the background. I know you’ve been doing it for a few videos now, but it felt so raw and special in this one specifically given the subject matter. That shot of you laying down face up on the nimbus is such a vibe. I know I’ve said it before but you’re an inspiration man, please keep being you
Like you, I don't have a single memory of life without Dragon Ball. From my earliest moments, it inspired me in the deepest parts of my soul. Learning to draw, taking up martial arts, standing up for others, being kind and courageous. There is so much I could say about his work, but none of it would be enough to pay Toriyama back for all he has given me. All I can do is continue to live on and embody what he established in my young heart.
RIP Akira Toriyama
And thank you so much for making this video. It was beautiful and getting to hear your experience, which reflects mine and so many others who got to grow up with Dragon Ball, was amazing. Your videos are pure art.
I love how IP videos gives me nostalgia of something I never had. It's like he grabs me by the balls and drags me into a nostalgia stage breaking every fucking rule of it. You make this look easy. Love from Brasil!
It‘s so insane to me that even as someone who claimed that I‘ve never been super into Dragon Ball I was genuinely upset by the news that Toriyama died. I watched it as a kid sure but I was never that big on it but when the news came out I was still down after all if not for him Anime and Manga and even other popculture media would not be what is is now, what a Legend man
Sending this vid to every DBZ fan I know
Haha, I did the same thing lol
YO I AM CRYING !!!!! I always appreciate when you drop a video but this one hit soooo hard. Seriously we might all literally be different but we share the same heart when it comes to our childhood and the influences from anime / video games. Your creativity helps me make the right choices for my life man I appreciate you !!
30:17 DUDE. I actually never watched dbz(i know i know) but man that AMV specifically, i watched SO MUCH as a kid. Over and over.
By 1:22 and Im already tearing up. Arts pretty neat to be this wide spread and impactful.
OMG THE ITS MY LIFE AND KRIPTONITE AMVS!!! I Found them before youtube. I would search for Dragon Ball stuff on Kazaa and would never quite know with what I would END Up. I would watch the its my life one everyday. Even tried to burn it on a CD to bring it with me on a holiday. Thanks for mentionning those, its surreal!
Your videos always crack me tf up while hitting me straight in the feelings Internet Pitstop Sensei.
Thank you for this serotonin boost right now. I swear, Dragon Ball Z (and Toonami) saved me as a kid. Life was rough. I was bullied pretty badly in elementary school. DBZ and Toonami gave me something to look forward to. It was pretty much the only thing I looked forward to. I wanted to grow up to be Bulma so bad lol 😂
Thank you IP and thank you Akira Toriyama.
That legacy of goku music always hits and is so nostalgic. Rip Toriyama
Seeing you post this made my day. This tribute video for Dragon Ball hits too close to home for not only me but us Dragon Ball fans. I been a fan of your content and I’m excited to see your channel grow in the future. Your editing is 1 of 1 btw. 🐐
Thank you for making a video about him I knew it was going to happen but still
Love that you specifically used music from The Legacy of Goku games. They had such an amazing soundtrack and the 8bit versions of the US score are done so well. Those games were so ahead of the times, literally just isometric DBZ: Kakarot like 20 years earlier. Free roaming on the GBA blew my mind, I miss being a kid man lol.
Wrote the comment before I got to part of the video where you specifically mention LOG... you're such a real one dude. Thank you for making this content, I still stand by saying you truly are the late night Adult Swim of YT. Best vibes bar none.
While I am personally not a fan of dragon ball, I’m glad that this show has touched so many people. Seeing so many people come together and share their love for this show and manga makes me happy. This is why I love anime, because it has such an amazing affect on some people (it can also have a cringeworthy affect, but still). I did watch this show as a kid and again while I was not a fan, I can understand why so many people love this show and why so many artists are inspired by this show. I appreciate what this show is and I love how much time and dedication you put into this video makes me so happy. Rest in peace toriyama, you were an inspiration to many.
My introduction to Dragonball was when the Buu saga was airing on Cartoon Network in the early 2000s. One of my first memories of Kindergarten was pretending I was Goku flying around and doing ki blasts at recess. At least 2 other kids there also saw the show and played with me. Getting close to 30 now and my love for Dragonball never stopped. My best friend even has a Goku tattoo
Damn, so many DB songs I've absorbed through osmosis (I haven't watched a single episode of DB). I don't even know where I heard the opening to Dragon Ball GT but i immediately recognized the melody (while you were shouting out your Patreon supporters) without being able to place it and it kinda drove me insane looking for it (thank you for the soundtrack in the credits, saved me hours probably).
When a video drops from my favourite Internet Pitstop? - That is instantly an even better day. Thank you!
The way my jaw dropped when I saw that old Spy Kids toy at 5:51. Had the same one and also used it as a makeshift dragon ball character. Crazy how this series was able to impact so many of us in similar ways. RIP Toriyama
I have been postponing thoughts about this... Seems like it's time to confront my emotions and process. Excited to see where this reflection takes me
one of few yt channels that can make engaging 40 min+ long videos
Thanks a lot pit stop. I’ve started working since the last 2 weeks and your vids are just the best thing to listen to while I’m busy with work. It’s almost like I’m seeing the vid just by hearing you talk
Another great thing about dragon ball is that through some of the movies the dubbed versions had nu metal like Deftones, and Disturbed, so it’s like they had official AMV’s, it’s like the coolest shit ever, like Goku, going super saiyan to change in the house of flies by Deftones, like literal chills it goes crazy.
I started with Dragon ball in 2000. I specifically remember the day it aired on Cartoon Network. Like many, was my first foray into Anime, and even led to the rabbit hole of Japanese culture. The influence and impact it has even now is ridiculous. You’ll never see me saying Dragon Ball has the greatest story in fiction, or the greatest character development. But dammit is it my favorite.
Gotta thank my cousin for getting me into this amazing series
Did my first Kamehameha in bt2
And thought it was spanish for something
Thanks for the memories
Wow. The Legacy of Goku II music really hit me and got me reflecting on how Dragon Ball changed my life as well. Several people have done Toriyama tribute videos, and none of them got me like that intro. Thank you for this.
This video is both beautiful, and hilarious. Well done, my man. Well done. Thank you so much for honoring the man with this. 🧡
Hell yes! You’re a legend for this, made me remember so many small moments in my life find obscure dbz content. Thanks for making this man. Rest in peace Toriyama Sensei.
I have a strong case of Corona right now and cant go outside or be productive. This is exactly what i needed right now. Keep it up : )
@19:35🤣🤣🤣 factsss traumatized me as a yout them dogs and crabs was ruthless, goku waving dead was odeeee
@@ShockToYoSystem you get it broooo! We locked in!!!🤞🤞
That episode with Gohan and the robot was a total tear jerker. It sucked it was skipped over at first but I caught it on Telemundo with uncensored DBZ and damn it was so nice and emotional. You’re the goat bro. RIP Akira Toriyama.
Dragon Ball has always had a special place in my heart. Got into it as a kid through my older cousin giving me his VHS tapes of the cell saga and BT3 on the Wii. I appreciate the emphasis you put on fan content because at least to me, that was how I became an even bigger fan. DBZA and AMVs consumed my late elementary-middle school days.
