What made Dragon Ball to a success?

impossible feats + easy to follow plot + No power caps + ridiculous boner inducing displays of machismo

I don't even know why I liked it, I guess I was just attracted to all the violence lmao but all I know is if I never saw Dragonball, I would be a completely different person today, Dragonball was such a big part of my childhood.

@blade_r: And that is why our generation is screwed:P

Memorable characters, well choreographed fight scenes, triumph over adversity.

I think the last one is important, and its a recycled theme in Dragonball Z, the character is beaten down, all seems lost, the bad guy is gloating, then suddenly the character finds something within themselves and beats up the bad guy, cue audience saying -

"Ha! now the shoes on the other foot bad guy"

Everybody likes to see the fall after the pride.

@waezi2: Lol cmon man dragonball hasn't done anything wrong, im not a violent person, I like watching fictional violence, but I don't hurt people in real life unless its defending my self or somebody I care about.

@blade_r: Oh, I was not referring to us being violent:)

never forget.... Roshi's Da man!

@waezi2: Lol what were you referring to?

@blade_r: Us being nerds.
