I just want to appreciate Kiroranke's taste in women for a moment, because it's a total background detail, but it's so consistent.

first of all, if you haven't seen his wife before, you must look at her, she's adorable

but he will also just go off about this at the drop of a hat:

he is serious about this!

and then upon meeting Sophia again

it's just such a consistent thing with him, idk, I just really respect it.

1960-Anpo protests "June 15th Incident"

On June 15, as part of the anti-Treaty coalition's 24th united action, hundreds of thousands of protestors marched on the National Diet in Tokyo. In the late afternoon, the protestors were attacked by right-wing ultranationalist counter-protestors, who rammed them with trucks and attacked them with wooden staves spiked with nails, causing dozens of injuries from moderate to severe, including several hospitalizations.

Just a few minutes later, radical left-wing activists from the nationwide student federation Zengakuren smashed their way into the Diet compound itself, precipitating a long battle with police,[1] who beat the unarmed students bloody with their batons in front of mass media reporters and television cameras.[32] The police finally succeeded in clearing the Diet compound after 1 a.m., but in the struggle, a young female Tokyo University student and Zengakuren member named Michiko Kanba was killed.

Grief sucks. Like, it REALLY sucks! I know to put my trust in God's ways, but sometimes that thought doesn't make everything better. He knows it too. I'm sad right now, but grateful. I'm allowed to feel both--we all are!

Akira Toriyama is the reason why I kept on drawing, when I was little. Piccolo was his favorite character, and mine too. Which made drawing this even harder for me. 

So, God thank you for blessing us with Akira Toriyama. May he finally be at peace with You.

I hope and pray we all see him again one day. Someday....
