[@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".

[@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.

[@MindleszShorts]

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

[@Aluran]

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

[@ayushsrivastava489]

11:27 finally Vegeta gets some recognition

[@xxmurderer7xx287]

6:40 This looks absolutely nothing like big bang attack

[@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.

8:52, OUCH.

[@lolthatsdumb]

there was another teen titans dragon ball reference i noticed, in the episode they try and convince the creators to continue teen titans go after failing to continue it themselves they look for the creators in the "real world" while in a warehouse you can see a drawing of robin on the wall with a golden aura and yellow hair

[@konst4ntaraz690]

22 seconds to click, new pb

[@Flarrow179]

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

[@Menace9k]

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

[@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

[@UltraZack69]

It was the first part of 200th episode

[@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

[@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😂

[@yamsicallymagnificent]

That dragon ball gt diss💀

[@henkaistudio]

Horton Hears a Oh had a Dragonball reference where the Elephant did a move similar to Kamehameha.

[@isaacdavis6881]

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

[@therider2050]

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

[@GraceofGod247]

So cool😮

[@B4RC0D3_YT]

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

[@hassandiamond2356]

[@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

[@Stef_sw]

3:19 kameyakameya 💀

[@Hitsquad5]

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

[@FriendlyNeighborhoodMvHater]

*Bro who tf air dropped me this*

[@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.

[@ADoggoNamedTom]

R.I.P

[@rblxcaviarbread990]

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

[@_gamm]

you could already see pops taking the turtle school fighting stance

[@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

[@Artsyjason]

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

[@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

[@NotANamekian]

“Just be glad we’re not doing Dragonball GT” 💀💀💀💀💀💀

[@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?

[@malone4735]

W 🔥

[@a5yearold966]

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

[@shiriruch.pre-release3180]

Don't forget Spongebob in the Fry Cook Games

[@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”

[@monkey2934]

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

[@Solely_Jason]

sadage i was waiting for the amazing world of gumball

[@YourBoiiTaha]

[@hassa843]

i even remember a ninjago one lol

[@sonicspeed9901]

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

[@btchpants]

There's a straight-up dragon radar in Steven Universe.

[@Xylospring]

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

[@earendilthemariner5546]

Yo...isnt Final Space Olan Rogers' project?

[@TransConservativewaifu]

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

[@UltraZack69]

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)

[@Afif_Real]

Gintama has the most dragon ball reference

[@indorex6855]

welp we should all remember that one episode with gumball

[@Jaiy_oken]

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

[@dragonkidgaming2525]

[@speedboy8038]

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

5:30 seems more like a reference to rock lee in Naruto at the chunin exams

[@lionshaun1135]

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

[@raynp9018]

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

[@Mr.Yeast6000]

[@go0vster55]

6:46 Vegeta vs Vegeta lol

[@dwboutit-xd4ds]

[@apheleleshabane6766]

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

[@DWsAttempts23]
