WSJ mangakas pay tribute to Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama CrunchyrollA few weeks after the death of Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama, all the WSJ mangakas have come together to pay their respects in the latest issue. The creator of Dragon Ball, one of the most popular anime and manga franchises in the world, died at the age of 68 due to acute subdural hematoma. The news was revealed in a statement issued by Shonen Jump a week later. Toriyama originally published Dragon Ball in 1985 and actively worked on it for over four decades. It\u2019s worth mentioning that he was one of the most influential figures in the anime and manga industry. Several artists and actors paid tribute to the legendary mangaka. Although it\u2019s been a few weeks since then, the Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 17 will include other tributes from other artists. The post includes comments from 20 WSJ mangakas, including One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kagurabachi, and so on. One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda\u2019s statement was included in the Shonen Jump announcement. However, the latest issue features an entirely different statement. \u201cRight now, he\u2019s got a halo on his head, and he\u2019s saying \u2018Sure, it is tough to be a mangaka\u2019 while building models without a care in the world. I salute you.\u201d Additionally, Oda also announced a three-week hiatus after Toriyama\u2019s death. Toriyama and Oda have both admired each other\u2019s works for decades. Oda is planning to take this time off and focus on his health. The issue doesn\u2019t include a comment from Kohei Horikoshi, the creator of My Hero Academia. The series is on break this week and will return in Issue 18. The mangaka will likely pay his tributes in the next issue. Following the creator\u2019s death, Dragon Ball Super manga is also on an indefinite hiatus after Chapter 103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
