2. Tufftyscooty. • 3 yr. ago. Dragon ball easily the story is greater, the fights, characters, world building. Dragonballs impact is greater and it’s more popular. Dragonball inspired naruto. The victories in Dragonball feel more earned and the losses are more devestating. In Naruto, the fights are basically dbz rip-offs.
Dragon ball every time. The Buu saga is kinda plotless, but the frieza saga and the cell saga are great, especially Frieza saga, both frieza and vegeta are memorable villains, the plot and reveals are full of surprises. Naruto’s plot lost momentum ever since part 2, they’re are pretty much the same, they’re either retrieval arcs, or about ...

One of the aspects of Naruto that helped the series to become popular (at least at the beginning) was the tactical nature of its fights. The series didn't rely on power levels. Instead, when it came to a fight, intelligence could win over brute strength. A character with weaker skills than his opponent could still be victorious with smart planning ...
One of the main advantages that manga has over Western comics is that they know how to appeal to women. Marvel and DC still haven't been able to use the advertising power of their movies to drag their comics divisions into relevance. Manga has managed to accrue a massive female audience, whose size is close to that of the male contingent of fans. D...
One could argue that Akira Toriyama is a notoriously forgetful person, since this was true throughout his career, as many characters and concepts from Dragon Ball stopped being relevant after the very first arc they appeared in. One of the most notable characters to vanish was Launch, who never appeared in the Dragon Ball manga after the arrival of...
Dragon Ball is another anime and manga franchise that has a terrible Hollywood adaptation. Dragonball Evolution turned Goku into a high school student, who had to battle against the evil Piccolo in a contemporary setting. The movie was panned by pretty much everyone upon release. Dragonball Evolution has almost nothing to do with the series it was ...
Goku was 13 years old at the start of Dragon Ball. The series followed him into his adult years, to the point where he became a grandfather.

Piccolo took a toddler into the mountains in order to train him for combat....

Trunks was able to go back to the past in order to warn the Z-Fighters about the arrival of the Androids and Goku's death by heart disease. As the story continued, Goku revealed the existence of the Hyperbolic...
The importance of Dragon Ball Z cannot be understated when it comes to series that helped popularize anime and manga in the West. It stands alongside Pokémon and Sailor Moon in helping to bring what was once a niche genre into the mainstream. The flipside of this is that the negative aspects of Dragon Ball Z became associated with anime and manga a...
Dragon Ball was a weird series in that it seemed to totally change tone and genre from each story arc to the next. The story started out as a fantasy adventure that parodied certain aspects of Journey to the West, but, by the end of Dragon Ball, you had the alien Super Saiyans battling a genie that had existed for millennia. The reason for these sh...
It's hard to deny that Naruto was a much bloodier series than Dragon Ball. The characters were constantly being cut by blades and avoiding poisonous attacks. There were numerous characters who specialized in medical ninjutsu, which they used alongside (or in tandem with) their combat abilities. Only the most skillful of ninjas could use their chakr...
Dragon Ball featured several important women in its cast. The series never would have gone anywhere without Bulma and her inventions. However, there were almost no female fighters in all of Dragon Ball, with the exception of the filler arcs and movies, which weren't created by Akira Toriyama. Dragon Ball Super recently featured its first canon fema...

Nov 17, 2015 · As Naruto is mainly about Naruto befriending fellow shinobi as well as enemies, Dragon ball Z also focuses a lot on Goku turning enemies into friends. The major difference is that nearly all of Goku's friendships were forged through battles that were "life or death". All of Goku's opponents hoped to destroy Earth at one point, so the fact that ...
