[@razortk77g95]

​@@joelg.lucena4713 Oda literally said that he made the opposite of dragon Ball when he said that he got the idea of saitama by watching DBZ when he was young, he decided to make a character who was already 'at the end' unlike Goku who trains to reach "the end".

R.I.P AKIRA TORIYAMA, THE ENTIRE WORLD GONNA MISS YOU 😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦

[@MobCrusher]

Dragon Ball continues to demonstrate why it is one of the most popular, important and influential works in all of pop culture. There should be a Part 2 since there's a lot more Dragon Ball references in other cartoons that you forgot to mention; you could also make a video showcasing Dragon Ball references in videogames.

[@SillyFemboyShorts]

Here's a DBZ reference in games: dragon ball xenoverse has goku

[@reversenoobz1]

RIP TORIYAMA THANK YOU !

[@Riftdancer527]

i never got much of a chance to watch some of these shows growing up (family what can you do) but i wont lie the comment made by Goku in the MAD segment around 8:52 had me rolling

[@JathenJacksonr2d2]

RIP Toriyama-sensei

[@broly9591]

the fairly odd parents one makes sense because on the creators youtube channel, he does a fair amount of DBZ art

[@jamaaldagreatest2748]

Funnily enough Butch is NOT the artist who drew his characters for the shows.

[@xxmurderer7xx287]

6:40 This looks absolutely nothing like big bang attack

[@morgana_the_cat]

I actually laughed at the "is this dragon ball or dragon ball z?, at least were not doing dragon ball gt!"

[@jesswarrior09]

Pops be going super saiyan rose 💀

[@yamsicallymagnificent]

That dragon ball gt diss💀

[@Menace9k]

Obviously the most known has to be amazing world of gumball when gumball went ssj2

6:46 “Vegetas first beam clash when facing Vegeta for the first time”

[@isaacdavis6881]

Imagine an amphibia collaboration with dragon balls games. How cool would that be

[@monkey2934]

Vegetas first beam clash with vegeta bruh😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

[@IkerProaPlays]

1:24: GT does not stink

[@hassandiamond2356]

gumball:i've just turned ss2 dbhype:hmmmm,no

[@ricodavis86]

We absolutely excellent video essay man!

[@QuickDraw-e7k]

There was also Ben 10. In the final episode of omniverse Ben uses feedback to contain a big bang in his hands and fires it at maltruant like a kamehameha, a big bang kamehameha if you would say.

[@arjyachatterjee6874]

Atomic's energy beam is similar to Goku's kaméhaméha even enchanting a spell or mantra (though it's not compulsory).

[@JustChad1]

Gimme that episode man i watched ben 10 when I was a child

[@not_Edix]

@@JustChad1 its the final episode of omniverse

[@Hitsquad5]

The fact they dissed my favorite variation of Dragon Ball (GT)

[@GoofyahhVegetafan]

A lot Of these References Include Vegeta's Most Iconic Words "IT'S OVER 9000" if you didn't see them or realise them

[@konst4ntaraz690]

22 seconds to click, new pb

[@lancetraje2882]

How about the Dragon Dance from Avatar: The Last Airbender? It's clearly a reference from the Fusion Dance.

[@Bastard_Child]

Rip the legend

[@thecatastrophe132]

Go DB Go also has a funny scene shortly after Diego turns SSJ Goku: “I didn’t know you were a Saiyan!” Diego: “I’m not! I just really hate that fox.” Also shortly after Goku backtalks GT, he and Diego high five and the background says “GT SUCKS” lmao

[@Weaselboar]

I thought it was hilarious whenever I was staying up late one night when a show called big city greens came on and the episode had him doing a replica of the kamehameha😂

[@Tisson8891]

So cool😮

[@Qgnzx_TV]

Might as well include morphle the magic pet cause they also did the fuse

[@Hyperion_0007]

There was one more in teen titans go in episode 200 or 300 in which there was a drawing of Robin turning ssj

[@ZackTTGFan]

It was the first part of 200th episode

[@TramiNguyen-oi3kp]

I love these Dragon Ball Z references!

[@DoctorFlux]

there is 3 ref. in ducktales(2017): the episode where they are in tokyo there is a billboard with scoorge´s rival having SSJ aura

[@Flarrow179]

There’s one more dbz reference in mad, the one where they all play baseball

[@Artsyjason]

dang how could you forget that one gumball scene where gumball straight up turns super saiyan

[@JaredBayraa]

8:52, OUCH.

[@mymouseaintbroken]

WTF

[@speedboy8038]

"just be glad we're not doing dragon ball gt" 💀

[@FriendlyNeighborhoodMvHater]

*Bro who tf air dropped me this*

[@ayushsrivastava489]

10:15 it's kinda like Vegeta but not purely accurate but he did atleast Vegeta gets some recognition for once

[@EltintasXD]

That looks more like sonic spikes

[@alaskantough9075]

It's supposed to be Bart, Goku and Sonic

[@Movie_Shadow]

0:54 where was this from?

[@Raptor-vs7wb]

Pops truly was the first to unlock beast 😂

[@TransConservativewaifu]

There is also one from zig and sharko- season 2- bionic zig episode

[@ZackTTGFan]

Sharko turns super saiyan and after he hits Zig's nose we can hear the heavy punch sound effect (i saw it while my sister was watching the show)

[@WastedGTAZ]

6:44 I didn’t know Vegeta fought Vegeta, ha, what a world!

[@OdaKa]

I think Jackie Chan Adventures referenced DBZ with the episode where Jade gets super powers and her hair goes spikey. Also, a similar thing happens in Batman Beyond when a kid gets telekinetic powers. Also, maybe Static Shock's power up sequence might be a reference to DBZ? The Christmas Episode of Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command seems to possibly have a highspeed fight sequence inspired by DBZ. The Animaniacs reboot references DBZ in one episode (along with other anime). My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic probably does, I'm sure. Kappa Mikey is an anime homage show that has a shonen anime character named Gonard. I want to say Kipo has a DB reference, but I'm not sure.

[@a5yearold966]

You forgot one svtofe s3 ep18 Marco and star do the fusion dance in one of the pictures

[@_gamm]

you could already see pops taking the turtle school fighting stance

[@RenagonTheProtogen]

Vegeta first’s beam attack against vegeta ahh my favorite moment

[@Jaiy_oken]

"Just be glad we aren't doing dragon ball Gt" 💀 What did Gt do?

[@nathangrey6236]

Dragon is not just an anime It's out childhood and an emotion

[@spiderplayz9592]

Season1 episode 21 of lady bug and cat noir is the biggest dragon ball reference in the show even though every episode has a reference this is the biggest like cat noir’s “power pole”

[@cnar06angara]

7:02 ah yes,my favorite tv show, "M.A.D Enter text here"

[@JesterTheLesser]

one the one with ice king I feel like it looks more like galaxy breaker then big bang attack

[@sonicspeed9901]

6:06 is that....BEAST!?

[@OMGLARRYYY]

# 4 going super saiyan was 🔥

[@apheleleshabane6766]

What about The Amazing World Of Gumball when Gumball turned into a super Saiyan 2 Gohan

[@andrew5098]

There's a chance that I'm wrong but I think the Adventure Time episode name "Frost and Fire" maybe a reference to A Song of Ice and Fire?

[@lil_leo13]

You forgot Amazing World of Gumball when Gumball and Darwin turned ssj

[@YourBoiit4h4]

U missed gumball when he literally transformed into a super saiyen for a moment

[@cts_jason0126]

sadage i was waiting for the amazing world of gumball

[@raynp9018]

You missed the episode in the amazing world of gumball were he turns super saiyan

[@shiriruch.pre-release3180]

Don't forget Spongebob in the Fry Cook Games

[@lionshaun1135]

3:16 now why couldn’t that be Goku’s hair?

[@Mr.Yeast6000]

*6:16* that looks a lot like beast form, did this inspire the beast form in dbssh?

[@Xylospring]

I think Star Vs The Forces of Evil did a ref or two at some point.

[@B4RC0D3_YT]

At that moment I also saw that Yamcha death pose in Monkie Kid.

[@dwboutit-xd4ds]

so you're just not gonna talk about gumball turning ssj2

[@ADEADYTCHANNEL]

One punch man creators: we will just copy dragon Ball

[@Entoxiz]
