What makes the heros of Dragon Ball stand above that of other shonen?

>>280607594 (OP)
distinct designs and 40 years to become iconic

>>280607594 (OP)
People have shit taste and the general audience hyped them up way too much despite most of the designs blowing cock.

Childhood nostalgia of DBZ being the first anime people watched

Its simple really.
They are:
>stronger than the rest of shonen
>faster than the rest of shonen
>more durable than the rest of shonen
>more skilled than the rest of shonen
>more popular than the rest of shonen
>more beloved than the rest of shonen
>more influential than the rest of shonen
>more beautiful than the rest of shonen

>stronger than the rest of shonen
Pretty much the main reason. Dragon ball fans are obsessed with power scaling more than any other fandom. Doesn’t matter what the discussion is, Goku fags will always screech about how he’s the strongest. That’s the only thing that matters to them

>strength is bad because... uuuhhh... IT JUST IS OK!!!!

I cannot answer your question yet..

However I do have two theories, but you'll have to wait until tomorrow..

>Don't you find it strange that Pan is involved with all sorts of crimes against life?
Against life? What do you mean by that?
>Feeding Saiyans isn't cheap...
I agree with that, but Chichi must've understood the consequesnces of bringing more saiyans into the world, right?
>Huh?
If you had to choose one and only one?
>Even if he did, what would that prove?
It would serve as evidence as where he discovered the fusion dance.
>The only reason we use the term "original", is because GT exists, otherwise there would be no need to refer to it in that manner...
And everything before GT was "original", right?
>There is nothing palatable about Super...
I can't argue with that correct sentiment.
>I don't think Shueisha is interested in erasing "modern" DB, just to save GT...
It's not just about GT..
>Everything that happened in Daima, the adventure and certain transformations, are not canon to the end of Z.
Isn't there supposed to be another installment in the future?
>No, but we need to acknowledge perspective and other factors...
And those would consist of?
>Right? She loves them.
Pan does not like to eat beetles..
>Okay.
Next post.
>The dragon can be killed by a stronger being, but he cannot die of old age.
The Namekians have created something that goes against decay and erosion? How did mere mortals create a demigod?
>Vegeta is like Pan...
They are both short?
>Yeah, she sure showed those "qualities" at the table....
Pan did try to be amenable, but her grandmother had other decided to be an obstacle..
>Now?
Next post.
>That's right.
Are there any scenes of his wallet?
>Yes, they all got that version of regular SS.
Are you certain about that? I mean, aside from the muscular appearence, it seemed to be a step above SS.
>It was dark in that scene...
Pan's clothes were the same colour..
>Pan was on a date with that suspicious looking guy?

>Theories
Don't give a fuck. I care about fact. You cannot deny the facts that happen on the screen. You lost.

>Theories
I give a fuck. I care about your theories. You can refute the claims that happen on the screen. You won.

>UHH THEORIES ARE CANON TOO, OKAY?!
>My character is string in my head so she's strong in real life too!
Have fun with your sub androids jobber. We care about facts here.

>Against life? What do you mean
The Tsufurian genocide, the enslavement and extortion of those villagers...
>I agree with that, but Chichi must've understood the consequesnces of bringing more saiyans into the world, right?
Chichi was the one who searched for Goku, and pressured him into a relationship, yes, I agree with you.
>If you had to choose one and only one?
I can't choose...
>It would serve as evidence as where he discovered the fusion dance.
That doesn't mean he knew how to perform it, specially after so many years...
>And everything before GT was "original", right?
Anything before GT's existence was DB, it became original, only after GT was made.
>It's not just about GT
Explain.
>Isn't there supposed to be another installment in the future?
I'm not sure....
>And those would consist of?
Have you noticed how inconsistent Vegeta's height and overall size is?
>Pan does not like to eat beetles
She ate them, and she was smiling...
>Next post.
Now?
>The Namekians have created something that goes against decay and erosion? How did mere mortals create
The dragon only comes into existence when he is summoned, I think the Namekians infuse some power into the dragon balls that is later used to manifest the dragon's form, maybe the Namekians have certain mental powers or knowledge that allows them to create such a being.
>They are both short?
And they generate a bad atmosphere when they are around others.
>Pan did try to be amenable, but her grandmother had other decided to be an obstacle
Her grandmother was the hero of that table, Pan was the villain.
>Next post.
Okay.
>Are there any scenes of his wallet?
I have never seen it...
>Are you certain about that? I mean, aside from the muscular appearence, it seemed to be a step above SS.
It was a step above, but it wasn't SS2, there are many levels of regular SS.
>Pan's clothes were the same colour
Pan was above that robot, she was casting a shadow on him...
>..
The guy that looked a lot like 17...

Pan is weaker than Kid Trunks and GT is shit. FACTS.

>>280608644
Theories are facts like Einstein and Stephen Hawking's theories

I theorize that Pan is shit.

Giru is stronger than Pan?

Ye dare stand in this, most holy sanctum of wits, where only cerebral matters betide, yet thou can't match mine brilliance.
Away thee DOG!

This. Battle shounen is about cool, wacky fights first, and everything else second. Toriyama's paneling and fight choreography is amazing though, and puts every other battle shounen to shame. The simple but striking designs are also always recognizable but distinct.

I mean, name one BS villain more iconic and memorable than Frieza. Dio is the only one I can think of that even comes close.

It's been almost 40 years, and Dragon Ball is still the overall peak, with only One Piece kind of approaching it. The fact that even zoomies can't stop talking about DB is evidence of how lasting and actually good it is.

>>280607768

Toriyama blended western tech and eastern lore seamlessly

all other shonens are weak imitations

What's good gang?

No. Vegeta does not consider the first two victories but they are indeed factually victories.
