Masashi Kishimoto got almost all his ideas from DBZ.
no he didnt. its mostly from japanese legends. Orochi, totsuka, tailed beasts, tsukiyomi. its all from ancient legends.
Akira/ Goku ; Kishimoto/ Naruto (Both Main Characters)
goku isnt anything like naruto except maybe in intelligence and love of food.
goku is a naive mountain boy who lives to fight even at the cost of his friends, just for the sake of pushing his limits.
naruto is a goofy hyperactive kid whos lovestruck and wants to be respected. he also completely pales in comparison to goku in terms of battle intelligence and willpower.
Akira/ Vegeta ; Kishimoto/ Sasuke (Both Evil/Good Co Main Characters)
lmao, that speaks for basically any anti hero character ever. sasuke is meant to be the typical rival character but developed later on into a full fledged final villain.
vegeta was always at first a villain and later became a hero. totally different character arcs and personalities.
vegeta is a loud obnoxious arrogant cocky little douchebag always boasting about his bloodline and never learning from his mistakes.
sasuke is a cool calm collected battle genius who left his village in search of justice against his evil brother and slowly became consumed by said revenge.
Akira/ Frieza ; Kishimoto/ Orochimaru (Both thought to be main villain; also wannabe
immortals)
freeza IS the main villain.hes responsible for most of what went on in gokus life. the only one who could compete is gero. oro is the driving force behind just part 1. he fades from importance later on. tobi was always main villain ever since he appeared. and oro hasnt died has he?
Akira/ Senzu Beans ; Kishimoto/ Food Pills (Both energy replenishing)
again thats in alot of fiction. healing pills even exist in real life.
