Akira Toriyama- creator of Dragonball and Dr. Slump passed away

At this point after Daima ends (I think it was confirmed to only be 20ish episodes, so it'll be a short series), they should just do one final arc post-DBZ after Goku trains with Uub, and have them, Gohan, Trunks/Goten, Broly, Vegeta, etc. all defeat Freeza for good as a "final saga" thing.

Then after that I dunno, show Goku finally be able to match up to Beerus in a fight, and then the series should end.

Now that Toriyama is gone, and Goku's Japanese VA is 87 years old (!), she may not be around much longer either. The series really should not go on much longer at this point. They just have to kill off Freeza once again for good and then wrap it up.

Apparently, Masako lent her voice to AI in case the unthinkable happens.

I’ve always assumed that the Japanese VA for Goku was just a guy with a high-pitched voice.

Speaking of, the narrator as a... character? I guess? Is he meant to be the same character as Kaio? Kaio was voiced by Joji Yanami until he retired and was replaced by Naoki Tatsuta, who also took over the role of narrator.

I'm thinking Harris did the early Ocean dub (showed up on the Funimation US Saiyan Saga & Namek Saga DVDs and Toonami), but the narrator was recast as Kyle Herbert (teen-adult Gohan) after they went with the Texas-based cast for English-dub episodes 54 and following. That said... the Ocean cast continued the dub for those episodes in other countries too, so maybe Harris did a lot more than I've been able to hear.

Mr Harris was the narrator in the Ocean Dub. The one you're referring to is Dale Kelly, the Original FUNimation DBZ narrator.

This news of Akira's death just came to me now. I never saw Dragon Ball Z, but I did wear the anime t-shirts back in high school hoping to fit in with my school peers, because after a childhood friend of mine (my half brother's other half brothers from a different father) introduced me to anime, I thought that Anime is awesome. So I wore anime shirts, like DragonBallZ even though I didn't know it. The graphics on the shirts were cool and I felt if I wore them, I would fit in better.
