Akira is a genious, he did not rip anything, unlike Kubo and Kishi.



You're telling me Kishi's going to keep him evil? Nah, he'll make him good, and he'll do some type of suicide like Vegeta did with Boo, but Madara will live and Naruto will finish him off!
Akira ripped off from superman
super aliens come to earth as babies as their planets were destroyed
they end up becoming the earth's heroes

btw the majin buu arc and GT are filler so it doesnt count
none of that stuff actually happened so stop comparing

Your wrong DBZ is not a rip off from superman. Goku came to earth to conquer it, not because his planet was being destroyed. And please don't count GT as part of Dragon Balls thats very offensive lol

Naruto VS DBZ is where I get one of my reasons for believing in Sakura/Gaara as a potential couple, even though it may not happen.

The parallels between Naruto and DBZ are a bit much to ignore.

Goku is a main character, and Naruto is a main character. Bulma is main character's best friend, and Sakura is main character's best friend.

Vegeta is a reformed antagonist that turned into a rival/ally of Goku, and Gaara is a reformed antagonist that turned into a rival/ally of Naruto.

Bulma had a crush on Yamacha who decided to do his own thing around the time Vegeta turned good, and Sakura had a crush on Sasuke who decided to do his own thing around the time Gaara turned good.

Bulma had dated Yamacha on and off in the series. It's possible that Sakura may get together with Sasuke (if he comes back to the light side of the force), but I don't think it would last.

Much later in DBZ series, Bulma moves on with Vegeta. Now the question is will Sakura move on with Gaara? It's too close.

I mentioned this because everyone else is mentioning moves and clothes. I thought I'd throw in the similarities in the relationships. xd

ok...first of all kishi even admitted that watching dragon ballz inspired him to make naruto....

and somehwere along the thread i saw people saying naruto eats a lot like gku and all...well its true......in most of the manga the main character loves food..like natsu from fairy tail,luffy from one piece..etc... so its not a similarity..the same goes for having a big heart and being goofy all the time

well there are similarities

  • goku's spirit bomb resembles odama rasengan
  • instant transmission resembles space time ninjutsu
  • dbz characters are able to sense other peoples power levels and in naruto we have senseor ninja's
  • sasuke resembles vegeta in so many ways mainly personality and sakura resembles chi chi
  • jiraya (perv) taught naruto where as master roshi(perv) taught goku
  • goku's entire race is destroyed(except vegeta) where as naruto's clan gets wiped out(except nagato who later dies)
  • believ it or not goku transforming into ozaru as a kid also resembles naruto transforming into kyuubi(not much)
well there are many more;)

Read This:

:shrug:When Kishimoto was originally creating the Naruto series, he looked to other shōnen manga for influences while attempting to make his characters as unique as possible. Kishimoto cites Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball series as one of his influences, noting that Son Goku, the protagonist of Dragon Ball, was a key factor when creating Naruto Uzumaki due to his energetic and mischievous personality. When redesigning three characters for the series, Kishimoto cites The Matrix, one of his favorite movies, as an inspiration for such outfits. He has also cited Yoshihiro Togashi as one of his favorite manga authors, while the manga Sasuke by Sanpei Shirato, a series which Kishimoto likes, inspired Kishimoto in the development of the character Sasuke Uchiha.

When drawing the characters, Kishimoto follows a five-step process that he consistently follows: concept and rough sketch, drafting, inking, shading, and coloring. These steps are followed when he is drawing the actual manga and making the color illustrations that commonly adorn the cover of tankōbon, the cover of Weekly Shōnen Jump, or other media, but the toolkit he utilizes occasionally changes. For instance, he utilized an airbrush for one illustration for a Weekly Shōnen Jump cover, but decided not to use it for future drawings largely due to the cleanup required.:shrug:

Except that Master Roshi became a piece of trash as the story expands, while Jiraiya did not.
The same goes to other characters especially villains. That's what I don't like from DBZ.
