Commentary:
This Fakemon is a major tribute to Akira Toriyama. Every detail has been carefully thought out and represents the respect and attachment I have for his work and for the author himself. For example, the cloud-shaped tail referencing the Flying Nimbus, the boots inspired by a dragon, and many other details waiting to be discovered.
Finally, here are a few words for one last tribute:
A legend has passed away, leaving an immense void in the world of manga and animation. Akira Toriyama, the father of Dr. Slump, the creator of the magnificent designs of Chrono Trigger and Dragon Quest, but above all the creator of the manga of all mangas, Dragon Ball, has joined the stars awakening in all his spiritual children the desire to search for the Dragon Balls to bring him back among us.
Thank you, Toriyama-sensei, for making so many children dream and for accompanying them into adulthood with the same sparkle in their eyes.
Your work was my very first reading, my first step into the beautiful world of printed manga, and it will always hold a very special place in my heart. It made me the fan I am today and will continue to accompany me every day me and all those your works have influenced and will influence in the future.
Today, you stand beside Whis, Beerus, and all the angels of the universes, leaving an indelible mark on Earth a legacy that will transcend time, because your name will never be forgotten.
What more can be said, if not… thank you. 🌟
