The courage and vitality from Goku: “Dragon Ball” Akira Toriyama, a message of support for the 311 earthquake
“Everyone on earth, let’s share your energy with the people in the disaster area!” Today, March 11, 2024, isThe 13th anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake. Thirteen years ago, this 9.0-magnitude earthquake and the resulting tsunami killed a total of 15,899 people and left more than 2,500 people missing. The tragedy of the disaster shocked the entire country of Japan. People from all fields contributed their efforts to support the disaster area. In particular, Japanese cartoonists were almost like a general mobilization, each using cartoons to cheer up the victims and raise funds.
Among the many cartoonists at that time, the internationally renowned author of “Dragon Ball” – Akira Toriyama – was certainly not absent. He drew two representative characters, Goku and Arale, to cheer for the victims; he also used Goku’s “Vital Energy Bomb” ” metaphor, I hope everyone can share their energy together. Today, Akira Toriyama passed away on March 1 this year. On the day commemorating the East Japan Earthquake, this is the message from Akira Toriyama 13 years ago – “Never give up! Keep working hard!”
Since March 11, 2011, every major media in Japan will produce a series of commemorative special topics as usual on March 11, 2011. You can also see full-page advertisements on related topics in newspapers. Japan’s largest portal site, Yahoo Japan, will put up a search page for the 311 earthquake disaster. Just enter the keyword “3.11” to search, and Yahoo Japan will donate a certain amount of money to relevant organizations.
This practice year following year not only allows the issues of earthquake disaster history and social changes to be studied more thoroughly and three-dimensionally over a long period of time, but also hopes to commemorate the deceased through the inheritance of memory and remind the world to face disasters. preparation. It was only in March this year that the Japanese media community was shocked by the sudden death of manga artist Akira Toriyama, and the atmosphere of sadness and regret lingered for a long time.
Thirteen years ago, various cartoonists in Japan used paintings to encourage the victims, and Akira Toriyama was one of them. Taking advantage of Akira Toriyama’s huge influence at home and abroad, Shueisha produced a YouTube video using the earthquake relief message drawn by Akira Toriyama, and donated all advertising revenue from the video views to the victims of the 311 disaster.
At that time, Akira Toriyama specially redrawn a picture of the two main protagonists of his masterpiece: Goku from “Dragon Ball” and Arale from “Dr. Strange and the Robot Doll”. The two were riding a purple somersault cloud, with a golden dragon behind them and With seven dragon balls, the two of them flew over with smiles on their faces, shouting “Come on!” Akira Toriyama wrote his message next to the picture:
“Everyone in the disaster area, although this is indeed very difficult, please never give up! Please continue to work hard!”
The second picture shows the adult version of Goku raising his hand, and a blue light can be seen at the top. All readers who are familiar with “Dragon Ball” will immediately understand that this is Goku preparing the “energy bomb” to gather energy. The supplementary message of the image reads: “The messages from Wukong and Arale have been delivered, and your messages of support from all over the world will definitely be sent to the disaster areas.”
The last picture of the match is Goku who has collected super large energy bombs, and Mr. Satan in front of the camera thanking the world for helping. The painting on the side is deliberately signed by Mr. Satan: “Thank you everyone——!! Vitality The bullets are already fully collected——!!”
This is the message Akira Toriyama left for the disaster-stricken areas 13 years ago.
Thirteen years have passed, and this support video has accumulated more than 2.58 million views and 1,682 comments. In the message area, you can find people from all over the world, shouting for Japan and disaster victims, as if responding to Wukong’s message, willing to share their energy to the disaster area. You can also find in the message area that the messages are not only from 2011, but also people have left these cheering messages in different years in the future.
Thirteen years have passed, and the boys and girls back then may have grown up. At that time, there were people who had no time to grow up, but were there also people who loved “Dragon Ball”? Is there anyone who grew up watching Arale and Wukong in their youth?
In March 2024, when Akira Toriyama passed away suddenly, many people who missed “Dragon Ball” shared on the Internet how “Dragon Ball” brought people courage and fighting spirit. No matter how difficult the dilemma was, they might always start once more. Stand up and get stronger. That little vitality bullet in my heart has become a solid and full energy without even realizing it.
The last picture of the match is Goku who has already collected super large energy bombs, and Sa in front of the camera thanking the world for helping… Behind the camera, Japan in the past 24 hours
