It has been a pretty lousy week.

Also, I'm not so good at expressing my emotions. Though I will say that it was heart-breaking to see that she wasn't even sixty years old when she died.

[up][up]This is true, but it has happened.

Roshi, Tien and apparently Chi-chi (during the fourth movie) were all replaced (though I don't think the latter's old voice actress died).

But Bulma is a lot more vital to the franchise than those three. We'll have to wait and see.

[up]My thoughts exactly. They can't write out a character who is crucial to the entire franchise.

They could just keep her at home for the rest of Super or worse kill her off...

Just Makima.

They didn't write out the original epilogue so they (thankfully) can't kill her off.

It seems that Hiromi Tsuru didn't die in a car crash. Her car was left undamaged and she was still wearing her seatbelt. The current cause of death is unknown.

That... sounds worryingly like suicide then.

Killing off (present) Bulma would undoubtedly be the single dumbest move that Dragon Ball could make.

Especially in a series where death is cheap.

George Takei is possibly a sex offender and Bulma is dead. And they said '17 would be better than '16. tongue

57 isn't even senior citizen age man.

Yeah, 57 isn't young, but it's not normal to die at that age.

Good God, this has been a horrible week. I'm still processing this kind of news. We lost a very vital member of the Dragon Ball franchise.

To think her last in the show would be "We're counting on you, everyone."

sad*sigh*

To think the last time we will hear her is in Fighter Z.

The game is her swan song & will have an "In memoriam" for her.

Chris Ayers needs a double lung transplant.

That's awful. Even if he survives, his voiceover career is probably over.

[up] Who do you think they'll get to voice Freeza in his stead?

He fell ill in the middle of the Resurrection 'F' arc, so they've already used an understudy (Daman Mills) for a few of Freeza's lines.

I imagine if Chris isn't able to return, Mills will take up voicing Freeza.

Yea basically. Same thing happened with Mako; when he passed away, his roles fell under Greg Baldwin.

But more than his voice acting, let's hope he can pull through and survive at least.

I'm honestly still reeling from the news - of all people to die, I didn't expect it to be Tsuru. What a lousy week. sad

At least Ayres is still alive. I really hope he can pull through.

Meanwhile, I live an hour away from a hospital where free public healthcare-founded transplants are routinelly handled, incluiding lung ones; it isn't really fair he has to crowdfund his chance at not dying...
