I could see that being an inspiration. In fact Sonic the hedgehog turned into a Super Saiyan long before Goku did. Everything copies something.

I looked it up. Super Saiyans in Dragon Ball predate Sonic the Hedgehog.
Creamy Mami episode 45, "The Psychic Boy of Sorrow" also has something resembling a Super Saiyan.

I knew about Creamy Mami, but dang I could have swore that Sonic 2 came out before DBZ entered its Super Saiyan Saga. Huh...

that's not even remotely close to the same thing.

Dragonball is based off the story 'Journey to the West' and the monkey god Sun Wukong.

@xMizu_ The very first story arc of Dragon Ball was based on Journey to the West.

The rest of Dragon Ball wasn't.

Toriyama took inspiration from several sources when he wrote the series, not just one. Super Saiyans don't have shit to do with Journey to the West.

I never understand people who like Dragon Ball
For me, it doesn't have any artistic values, both the characters and the fights. Just fast punchings and kickings, and finished with kamehameha, and the like

The only Shonen anime who shows great artistry in both character designs, and fighting methods is Naruto & Naruto Shippuden

If any, Naruto anime was inspired probably by Yuyu Hakusho, not like what Kishimito said: "inspired by Dragon Ball", I think he just wanted to let people think that way while actually it isn't

@Shishio-kun

Brother Shish, we could have had a cultured discussion about Marin from Dragon Ball, and all the culture she brings to the episodes she's in. However it looks like the Bulma thread is gone. ๐Ÿ˜ญ
