Cartoon Network Paid Tribute To 'Dragon Ball' Creator Akira Toriyama Following His Death, But I’m Confused By The Homage

The world of manga and anime has lost one of its most treasured talents. On March 1, 2024, Akira Toriyama, creator of the Dragon Ball franchise, died at the age of 68 from a blood clot in his brain. Naturally this resulted in an outpour of love and appreciation for Toriyama, and that included Cartoon Network paying tribute to him. However, I’m confused by the homage the channel used to accomplish this.
