Technoblade: Minecraft YouTuber dies from cancer aged 23

I was never a fan, but this hit hard for many people around me. My (older) younger sister was devastated. Nobody should have to face cancer, let alone this young.

With The Shining being one of my top five favorite films of all time, this is a bummer. But, 94 is a long life. We should all be so lucky.

Damn. First Takarada and now him. He was another one of the Toho icons I would've loved to meet.

It seems Teruyoshi Nakano has passed away at 86.
Rest easy, Mr. Explosion.

Dammit, RIP.

I believe he was the last living person credited as "Director of Special Effects" (特技監督) in a Godzilla movie -- IIRC, all of the Millennium Series directors had a less formal credit that was essentially "Special Effects by."

[Tyrant_Lizard_King]

His Mechagodzilla and Titanosaurus rampage scene is still one of my favorite city destruction sequences in a kaiju film. Guy never really got the credit he deserved within the genre.

He was like Micheal Bay with his passion for explosions.

Damn, another Toho legend gone. Rest in peace, Teruyoshi

Rip the creator of yugioh, Kazuki Takahashi.
Yugioh was a big part of my childhood so this saddens me.
