This zine was not supposed to be a memorial!! About two weeks before Saiyan Day 2024, we lost the creator of Dragon Ball Z, Akira Toriyama. A group of UK artists got together to create a DBZine, and now we are commemorating this sad event together via this zine. Iβm distributing this zine containing our artwork inspired by his characters and stories. Though we are upset to have to commemorate Toriyamaβs legacy in this sad coincidence, we hope you like what we have made.
What is βSaiyan Dayβ?
Saiyan Day (βSaiya no Hiβ), also known as 318 Day (βSan-Ichi-Hachi no Hiβ) is a special day, created by Dragon Ball fans, to celebrate on 18th March. This is because, when shortening βSan-Ichi-Hachiβ (3-1-8), it sounds a bit like βSaiyanβ in Japanese. Goku from DBZ is Saiyan!
