A photograph showing Pierre standing beside a promotional image of Son Goku from the popular anime franchise Dragon Ball has also attracted widespread attention, with fans comparing his determination to that of the fictional hero. The incident has prompted an outpouring of support from gaming enthusiasts, while online fundraising campaigns have emerged in his name.
