So I've seen plenty of dbz/naruto threads, but I never really watched dbz so I just sat down and watched a few episodes from the buu saga....

It is absolutely ridiculous.

Vegeta: self described sayan prince, sayan race was almost destroyed and he is one of the last sayans, proud, arrogant, powerful, controlled by babidi because of the evil in his heart, hate towards Goku because he constantly surpasses him despite being a lower class warrior, only objective to beat Kakarot
Sasuke: not quite royalty but sasuke always seemed to be kind of an elite because of his genius, uchiha clan was almost destroyed and he is one of the few uchihas left, controlled by Oro/Tobi because of the evil in his heart, hate towards Naruto because he constantly surpasses him despite being a loser/non-uchiha, only objective to kill Itachi (but then now he said he'd only kill Naruto but who knows if that is still happening)

Goku: light hearted, cares for others, cares about protecting friends, glows when he powers up, eyes change color when powers up (same could be said for Sasuke/Vegeta as far as eyes changing I guess)
Naruto: same

Videl: cuts hair for Gohan when he mentions her hair would be better short, starts out cold towards Gohan but warms up to him after she sees his good heart, generally gets wrecked in fights
Sakura: grows hair because she hears a rumor Sasuke likes long hair but cuts it in order to protect him, starts out cold towards Naruto but warms up to him over time after seeing his good heart, generally gets wrecked in fights

Buu: ultimate evil that requires the energy of someone powerful (Gohan) in order to revive
Juubi: ultimate power that requires the chakra of the buuji to revive

I know this is common knowledge that DBZ ≈ Naruto, but I put some down which I have never read on NB before. When I was watching DBZ and Videl cut her hair I just started laughing hysterically.... the parallels are so similar.

Kish likes DBZ. And once DBZ came out it set a huge standard in anime. I'm surprised you say you hardly watched it besides buu sage.

I just wanted to share, maybe people who used to watch DBZ will enjoy the comparison and remember comparisons they forgot or never realized. I think people who like Naruto should watch DBZ if they haven't its so much more enjoyable to see all the parallels to Naruto than it is just on its own, or at least it was for me.

You can't make these claims if you only watched some of the Buu saga. You dont know the story so come again.

DBZ isn't that complicated. I know the general plot, because all of my friends watched it so I know who's who and what they're like but I had never sat down and watched all the episodes in a row. Which of my parallels do you think is incorrect?

No I'm not saying that your incorrect in your comparisons. What I'm saying is that I realised most of these things already but it was never a big deal to me cause that's only the events of 1 saga. You are using the events from the beginning of naruto to the present while your only looking at the buu saga from dbz. Get what I mean?

you cant judge anyone on dbz if you've only watched a few episodes. Also why are you comparing 2 completely different animes?

Yeah, it's similar.

But Chichi (goku's wife) was once a shy little girl. She trained a lot to fight Goku early on in original Db....

Sounds a lot like Hinata doesn't it? -_-

the archetypes you said can be applied to any shonen. yu yu hakusho and bleach for instance.

ut Chichi (goku's wife) was once a shy little girl.
so what, that one trait means shes like hinata?
