Following the disclosure of his death, the question arose as to the reason for the delay in reporting the news.
Although the details are not precise, the statement clarifies that the funeral was held privately, in the company of his family and a few relatives, in accordance with Toriyama’s wishes for peace.
Regarding the causes of his death, it is known that subdural hematoma, according to the Mayo Clinic, occurs when blood vessels break between the brain and the dura mater, the outermost layer of the three that protect the brain. This situation, which can lead to gradual loss of consciousness and, eventually, death, is usually the result of a serious head injury, as was the case with Toriyama.
Difficult news for the manga
The publisher Shueisha, owner of the Shonen Jump magazine, where numerous works by the master were published, expressed its sadness on its website. They highlighted the influence of his mangas, such as Dr. Slump and Dragon Ball, which transcended borders and were loved around the world.
Eiichiro Oda, also a prominent cartoonist and author of One Piece, joined the voices that expressed their condolences.
Oda regretted Toriyama’s departure, considering it premature and leaving “a big void.” He remembered how the master inspired him through his sleeves, becoming a hero ahead of his time, capable of transporting readers to his imaginary universes.
