How did Dragon Ball Z became popular?

[Deleted member 1973]

There's surely to be a lot of reason, but honestly I think one of the big ones is the art style.

The characters are all aesthetic AF.

Looks over Story.

a lot of rappers referenced it in their music as well as the production of video games for it causing it to hit main stream

it got popular because it was very unique not because of rappers wtf

people never experienced something like DBZ before, it was short of like a shock when it first appeared, the massive battles, planets being destroyed, the emotions etc.

 

[Deleted member 3832]

Many people hate DBZ but DBZ was my first anime which is why I can't stop loving it. There are no fighting based cartoon series in the West that are as fastpaced and high powered as DBZ. Let's not forget that DBZ has one of the most fucking badass characters in history like Vegeta which you will never see in Western cartoons.

Vegeta which you will never see in Western cartoons.

Insane pride, he would die before being cucked

Too bad he's a manlet. I don't fucking know why the fucking retard writer Toriyama would make both Vegeta and Goku manlets while making side characters like Raditz, Nappa and Tien so tall.


Tbh I wish Goku and Vegeta were at least 1.9 meters tall (6'3") then they would be absolute gigamoggers ngl.

 

[Deleted member 1973]

both Vegeta and Goku manlets

I was shocked learning Goku is 5'9.

He looks at least 6ft tall to me,

Yamcha is supposedly 183 cm and Goku heightmogs the shit out of him. Tien is supposedly 187 cm and Goku looks a little taller than him so I'd say that Goku in this picture is about 190 cm.

No shit bluecel but in his world he's supposedly at that height that's given to him by the writers. You little smartass don't try to act all smart.

Aren't you the one who said that he has no height because he's a drawing? Who are you calling autistic?

Is it worth watching?

 

[lonelystoner]

DBZ became popular because as men when we were younger, we looked up to these masculine figures. They had goals, they were beaten, they ascended, they won fights, they loss fights.

Goku was seen as a role model becuase he fought for what was right and good. When we were younger, we though freiza was bad, or even Cell. However, they just wanted to power. Now as a man, we see Cell was right. He wanted the power and all the respect. If Goku never spiritually helped Gohan to kill Cell, Cell would have been very popular and super strong and unbeatable.

Then there is Vegeta, he has always been in the shadow of Goku. That is why Majin Vegatta was super strong. He was enhanced with hatred in his heart and that is why he was very strong.

Also, I used to touch my peepee when looking at Bulma, master roshi was my inner pervert

Is it worth watching?

[TURBO]

I love the art style of the earlier sagas of dragon ball z, that early 90's anime look was kino. The new ones are too clean and colourfull

I always thought the art style is fucking trash tbh. I think it was black kids that made it famous and the amazing English dub. The transformations and fast paced action was pretty cool too.

Yamcha is supposedly 183 cm and Goku heightmogs the shit out of him. Tien is supposedly 187 cm and Goku looks a little taller than him so I'd say that Goku in this picture is about 190 cm.

Gokus official height is 5’7 because Japanese are manlets

 

[RAITEIII]

Goku and trunks ssj1 are Gigachads ngl

 

[Deleted member 26]

DBZ kicks ass if you didnt watch DBZ in the 90s and play DBZ Budokai in the 2000s you missed out on life

Goku is not Japanese though. He's an alien from a planet that has a gravity 10x stronger than Earth. And even though their planet has 10x stronger gravity they're all at least 170 (5'7") cm tall and in some cases you have Raditz and Nappa who are easily above 195 cm (6'5") so if they're raised on Earth they should easily be at least 200 cm (6'7") tall.

I’m on episode 3 and I can confirm this is an extremely high T and legit anime with a slightly autistic plot line

 

[Golang]

I never saw the appeal of DBZ, I preferred Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse

 

[Deleted member 4231]

Insane pride, he would die before being cucked

I stand by this, its the path I walk

 

[Roping Subhuman]

Because it was first of its kind.

First of its kind in that type of action, story, just the general feel.

The way characters interacted was with utmost pride and diligence, so in a way i'm sure a lot of kids looked up to guys like Goku and Vegeta as father figures.(even though they're not real) everything about DBZ just screamed 'boy's Cartoon' it was a shounen in a proper sense, it had virtually no le qt Anime girl nonsense distracting the main cast, it was just the boys duking it out. it was high T and for that it will never be recreated in today's SJW world.(yes even in Japan)
