He would be able to accomplish some more things. But, he has “left a lot of comic names and works of art to this world,” the statement continued.

We hope people will continue to adore Akira Toriyama’s extraordinary earth of creation for a very long time to come.

To believe I’ll always see him again… I’m overcome by sadness,” Oda said.
