When Goku first went Super saiyan :wow:
Vegeta was mean but when he finally went super saiyan :blessed:
When Goku sacrificed himself cell saga (I still cry til this day):sadbron:
When the saiyan crew came out the hyperbolic time chamber:banderas:

AND THE MOVIES!!! Y’all cant tell me The Tree of might, Lord Slug, The Cooler Movies and Broly etc weren’t the GOAT

So many good memories with DBZ. My dad and brother still watch it today and I love that I can sit with my niece and nephews now and watch it or play the games.

It really did, DBZ was the perfect anime for America. It was an anime, but at the same time it didn't feel weird like the other animes do. Dbz put anime on the map in the states, Pokemon a close 2nd.

Don’t forget Naruto too.

If this isn't the main reason than it's a chunk of it.

Toonami served as a great hype man for anime. For example, Outlaw Star flopped and was considered trash in Japan but it's thought of fondly in NA and out up there with some of the GOAT anime.

EDIT: Also I believe One Piece could have come for that crown globally if 4kidz didn't fukk up so bad.

:ohhh: Yo I just saw like 3 other episodes, this shyt is lit. Pokemon is def slacking by not using this format

That what I'm saying. The battles in these 4-5 min vid are intense and realistic. Pokémon could have a even more mature audience if they switched it up

It wasn't toei that fukked it up for op in US it was 4kidz

Plus OP is already a global phenomenon. It's just in America where it's not top tier(tho it does Really good in US)

Jiren has a terrible design in comparison to the the old DBZ saga villains.

Eh, I like it. The fact that he's so big, plain, and stoic makes him such a stark contrast to the more charismatic, goofy villains we've had.

He moves and acts like Trunks with his no-nonsense swag but he doesn't come across as a villain but more of an antagonist which is good. Jiren should probably have a face turn.

Honestly, I forgot to bring up the cinematography aspect.

Most American cartoons are very static looking with their actions. Dbz on the other hand these beautiful panoramic easing shots that conveyed action beautifully. Just watch kaioken Goku against Vegeta to see why DBZ was so hype.
