MRC: Akira Toriyama Collection Challenge

150https://ur.com/b1bVREQ.png Akira Toriyama: Manga Collection Challenge 80https://i.post.cc/QCyzLgJs/AT1.png Growing up during the 80s or even being remotely close to any pop culture during the years from then up until now you inevitably would come across Dragon Ballhttps://anilist.co/manga/30042/ and by extension the author Akira Toriyamahttps://anilist.co/staff/96901/. It cannot be understated the impact Akira has had on the manga and Shounen landscape after the success of Dragon Ball. Being a fan of and drawing inspiration from Hong Kong martial arts films featuring Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan he went on to create the fourth best selling manga of all timehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listofbestsellingmanga. Even though creating one of the major series of Jump he was known as a shy and reserved person who disliked interviews. It is through autobiographical elements in the cover flaps of his manga that you may learn about his life. He had a great passion for scale models often focusing his attention on these rather than drawing. During his life he created over 40 manga series and claims that he outgrew manga and anime when he was 11 years old after which he shifted his interest to movies. Akira gained minor success with the publishing of the oneshot Tomato Girl Detectivehttps://anilist.co/manga/113067/ in 1979 which gave him some hope to continue drawing. Less than a year later his first major success Dr. Slumphttps://anilist.co/manga/30796/ started releasing in Weekly Shounen Jump. During this time he created several short stories notably Pola Roidhttps://anilist.co/manga/126237/ in 1981 and Pinkhttps://anilist.co/manga/134340/ in 1982. Following Dr. Slump came the acclaimed Dragon Ball loosely based on the classic Chinese novel Journey to the Westhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JourneytotheWest. Starting off in a similar comical tone such as Dr. Slump it then transformed into a nearlypure fighting manga as time progressed. After almost 11 years of continuously publishing Dragon Ball Akira asked to let him end the manga in order to take some new steps in life. This did not stop the Dragon Ball train as the anime picked up where Akira stopped with the airing of Dragon Ball GThttps://anilist.co/anime/225/GT/. He continued to release short stories such as Mr. Hohttps://anilist.co/manga/36881/Mr/ and Karamaru and the Perfect Dayhttps://anilist.co/manga/134351/. Akira also started dipping his toe in character designing after his editor Kazuhiko Torishimahttps://anilist.co/staff/188102/TorishimaKazuhiko recruited him for the 1986 RPG Dragon Questhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DragonQuestvideogame. After Dragon Ball he kept drawing short stories including Cowahttps://anilist.co/manga/32556/ Kajikahttps://anilist.co/manga/30896/ and Sand Landhttps://anilist.co/manga/30724/. Akira also kept up his character design work for titles such as Chrono Triggerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChronoTrigger and Blue Dragonhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlueDragonvideogame. In 2005 CQ Motors began selling an electric car design by Akira called QVOLThttps://x.com/ToriyamaArts/status/1113347601703813120 in which only 9 were produced. Later on Akira returned to Dragon Ball creating Jaco the Galactic Patrolmanhttps://anilist.co/manga/84627/ to celebrate the 45th anniversary of Weekly Shounen Jump. He also wrote the original script for the movie Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection Fhttps://anilist.co/anime/20778/. His final contribution to Dragon Ball was a page featuring Piccolo departing at the end of chapter 103 of Dragon Ball Superhttps://anilist.co/manga/86508/ and waving back at the reader. After Toriyamas untimely death in March of 2024 much international love and condolences were shared including the French President at the time foreign ministries of China and El Salvador and several Mexican voice actors who dubbed Dragon Ball characters. https://i.post.cc/yd9qVZtH/AT2.png 40https://i.post.cc/4dSrb987/CollectionAkiraToriyama.png Arale Norimaki from Dr. Slumphttps://anilist.co/manga/30796/ Badge designed by SEGURIDAhttps://anilist.co/user/SEGURIDA/ Rewards: Badge 1 Challenge Pointhttps://anilist.co/activity/93614073 https://i.post.cc/WzPBt4cJ/AT3.png https://i.post.cc/2S5P1JMT/AT4.png https://i.post.cc/Gp8VQDcy/AT5.png AWC has selected 10 manga entries that we feel showcase Akira Toriyamahttps://anilist.co/staff/96901/s best workComplete all 10 manga in the collection to earn the badge You can use any number of manga you have already completedYou can use any number of manga from other challengesYou can read the manga in any orderThere is no time limit to complete this challenge Your activity must include the start and end dates which can be added in the AniList List Editorhttps://i.ur.com/bVWyLvV.pngProvide an estimate and make a note in your post if you do not recall the exact date you previously completed a manga.
