| Ash has Goku's face, Naruto has Goku's color pallet, and Luffy has Goku's personality. These are all direct inspirations from Dragon Ball. The seven Chaos Emeralds from Sonic are clearly inspired by the 7 Dragon Balls, and the Super Sonic transformation and Sanji's Diamble Jamble both are inspired by Super Saiyan transformations. |

| Kishimoto the creator of naruto did admit in an interview that it was inspired by dragon ball. Too lazy to find link. Use google. |

Diable Jambe is nothing like Super Saiyan, one is a fire based power up for a limb and the other is a general all body transformation. |
This scene (0:00-0:35) from Blood Lad is the first thing that came to my mind, lmao (just a parody though) |

| I dunno but Gintama has parodied DB a few times |
 |
| I guess every shounen after Dragon Ball is inspired by Dragon Ball one way or the other. It pretty much defined what we think of a "battle shounen" series. |
| Broooooo you act like people can't be inspired by their predecessors. That's how art is made in general. Get a grip. |
 |
| Whoa man, I think you're onto something here... |
 |
| What's the point of this thread tho?' |

Use google. not to mention OP takes the SFX from dbz. toei is too lazy and dont want to give money for new SFX. im watching now dbz and their personalities are so alike. Except for the op dude. That's why im pointing it out. I wont be surprised if there will be a topic about anime having too much jojo references at this rate. Lmao. Dragonball and jojo is from the 80s so yeah there are lots of references about them. XD |

| And what's exactly new about it? Nekketsu was never that original to begin with |
| Yes, some are, and they admitted it. That's what inspiration means. |
| LMAO Ash and Goku look nothing alike... |
| Your specific examples aside, no shit. Dragon Ball is the father of modern day Shounen. Toriyama defined half of the medium with that series. |
 |
| Dragon Ball was one of the first great Shounens that inspired many after it. Stuff seeming like they're "copied" from it is pretty normal. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| gonna copy whats successful dude especially profit wise |
| Lol just because Ash has a black and somewhat spiky hair that doesn't make him an inspiration of Goku... |
