Discussion on Similarities Between Dragon Ball and Superman
Recently, a Twitter user commented on this matter: “Imitation is not inspiration; it is merely copying.” “To be honest, I see the production house is currently flipping through.” Another user remarked.
Some viewers believe that the claim of “being inspired” is not valid due to the similarities being a direct 1:1 correlation. “This is not a reference material; it resembles a blatant imitation more,” a netizen pointed out.
On the contrary, there are individuals who acknowledge the deeper connections present here. Goku is often used as a case in point for borrowing elements from Superman, who is considered the last survivor of a dying alien race sent to Earth to protect humanity. Now, the borrowing of imagery in Dragon Ball adds even more depth to the relationship between the two franchises.
“My point is that the similarities are just unfair, as Dragon Ball Z has copied the origin story of Superman. The first season of Superman and Lois is a very compelling narrative that revolves around the Saiyan Saga,” an enthusiastic fan commented.
