Onishi’s passing was revealed by friend Eisaku Inoue, a fellow animator in the anime industry who might be best known for his work on One Piece, Saint Seiya, Tenchi Muyo, and Dragon Ball Z.

If you watched the original series but never watched Dragon Ball Kai, the show is a recut of the original Dragon Ball Z that streamlines the show to a tighter 167 episodes over the original 291.
