I've seen many people commenting on the fact that Naruto is becoming like Dragonball Z....
Well... That is kind of justified being that Kishimoto's biggest inspiration IS Toriyama, as he said himself in his "interview with the artists" in the manga. Dragonball on its own was bad because it was alot of the same stuff over and over again, "Ohh look at me I have to train in the other world... Oh damn another uber godlike dude is coming to blow up the earth, save me! wish me back witht he dragonballs!" that routine kinda got old after awhile.. But at face value (God help me for saying this), it wasn't that bad..
Naruto runs into the fact that it takes on several traits from Dragonball... Kyuubi mode Naruto = Super Saiyan Naruto... same thing effectively, only Kishimoto justifies the jump in power a whole lot more than Toriyama did with the Saiyans just kind of having the power.
All in all, we're going to see alot of similar traits from Dragonball in Naruto, but as long as the storyline continues to develop like it is, I dont' see a problem with Naruto going in that direction.
Go for it, have fun!
Ummm.......okay.
You're wrong when you said Dragon Ball on its on is jsut the same thing over and over again. One thing Goku never died in Dragon Ball so how could he go to the otehr world. Nobody in DragonBall tried to blow up the earth, there wasn't any villian that was strong enough to do so, and Picollo Daimou was the only one that had anything to do wtih controlling the Earth or anything of that magnitude and had the power to do so. IN Naruto, Naruto wins every major fight, and in Dragon Ball Goku spends times training for a quite bit of episodes and he still doesn't win in the martial arts tournament until the very end. Where Naruto just goes Kyubi and wins all the time if it's a major fight. You know Naruto is just going to go Kyubi and win, it's the same thing over and over again. And if you meant DragonBallZ which you only mentioned once and said Dragon Ball later then the only villian trying to blow up the earth was Cell and Buu. And if you actually watched some episodes you would know that you can only be wished back with a certain set of Dragon Balls once. Naruto gets his Kyubi power by just getting angry, where to turn into a Super Saiyan you have to go through intense training and extreme emotions, the first time and it isn't easy the rest of the time unless you train with it. Naruto is also a lot more predictible than Dragon Ball, as predictible as DBZ.
If the manga caught up to the anime like it did with DBZ early on then it would be just like DBZ with the prolonged fights, repetitive animation. Otherwise Naruto is still similar to DBZ in lots of other ways.
why does nobody understand kinives jokish ways, except I, same as wasnt he the one who pulled the car insurance, i thought that was quite humorous.

Man i've made this exact post a while ago, reguardless i dismiss the tards that say Naruto is like DBZ, their logic consists of over generalization. Its like saying that Lady Blue is like Naruto because they both have female charcters in them. Thats just crap logic. I'd ignore them. By the way EVERYONE who does Shounen is influenced by toriyama hes the godfather of all anime of its genre.
well this topic is sure going to bring out all the fanboys/fangirls
Personally i find that naruto is only similar in the way things can be really drawn out. Not always a bad thing (i relish seeing more of certain characters). But the primary difference is that whereas dragonball (or DRAGONBALL Z, just to please unidentified) the fights where pretty much one on one. With their being one major bad guy. In Naruto (especially now at this point in the manga) there are mutiple enemies at the same time. Also naruto is more character driven (and has much more character development) and theme driven (acknowledgement, self love vs love for others, etc)
"By the way EVERYONE who does Shounen is influenced by toriyama hes the godfather of all anime of its genre" yes rock lee that is o very very true he is the godfather but no naruto is not like dbz naruto iz ninja dbz is supermonkeys that are constapated..ye i used to like dbz..but no no way!

nvr watched DBZ ^^ used to have some DBZ models tho... dno why
Hmmm Now whos the tard that started this rumor, i should hunt him down, and hang him, then gut him out, then run him over!
Naruto still isnt DBZ. Sure Naruto's Kyubi charka gives him that power up effect, but the action style, and battle style is tottaly different from dbz.
DBZ 30 Minutes:
Talk
Look at each other
Power Up for 20 minutes
Fight with repeated fight sceens. <Rare that this happends for 1-5 episdoes straight but it goes on for the episode that they started fighting. Then the next if there is still fighting going on
Naruto 30 Minutes:
More mature story line
Funny as hell.
Ninja Style Battles
No repeted fight sceens. Each one is authentic.
people are only saying that because the 3rd chuunin exam is a tournament like DBZ often has... Just because an anime has a tournament doesn't mean it's a DBZ clone. YuYu Hakusho had the Dark Tournament, and I bet people said it was copying DBZ also. Naruto might have a few DBZ similarities because kishimoto did say he loved and was inspired by DBZ, but it's totally different
Thats why you're officially an Assclown now rekka
that pixelated avatr of yours contributes to that
what are you trying to hide huh?

did you read the manga? did they cut out the part in the anime where freiza and king cold comes to earth to first kill goku then blow it up? yes dragonballz is the same thing over and over again. one major villian. goku has to become strong to beat him bla bla bla. the same over and over again. and yes goku dies. when fighting raditz he sacrifces his own life to kill him and comes back right to the fight with nappa and vegeta. and then he dies against cell and doesnt come back for 7 years..... he dies twice in dragonballz.

hm..well close.
point is, at the moment Goku bacame ssj I -> III , you knew he wouldt lose anymore(meaning that he would eventually be victor), this was especially the case in the first 4 saga.
THAT's the clue . Naruto could still get his ass beat, because it has a far deeper story line.
Well, since Dragonball Z was possibly one of the first 5 anime I ever watched, I can honestly say it's what made me the smelly otaku that I am today. I don't think it was because of the repetitive plot or kick-ass fighting (since most of every episode was standing or flying), but the character-loveability.
I see alot of that in Naruto. Sure there's plenty of face-offs, but I don't think they last as long as the ones in DBZ. Naruto's inactivity generally centers around deeper-explanations of skills and histories only alluded to in prior episodes. Plus the plot is not repetitive in the least. There is plenty of fighting, but each little saga is an entirely different creature, ever evolving into some new goal, aim, or subplot. There is a lot of minor character personality development that leads for great future openings into the story.
In closing, there are some similarities to DBZ. The face-offs and seemingly small amount of activity per episode. There are alot of differences. Evolving storyplot, minor character development, deeper explanations, humor, and a more down-to-earth conflict.
I think the differences far outweigh the similarities.
YOOOOO! Its me again. OK. Hero-Sennin ere wasa massive fan of DBZ, and knew so much about it, it was actually quite sad. Some of the ppl in here talking about the similarities/differences just... Shhhh...... quiet. OK. Theres one guy who was saying something about how Naruto Nine tails isnt similar to SSJ because Naruto had a hard time against Neji still. Well...did you make that one up all by yourself? arent you clever? Shhh...... Goku vs Frieza is where we got SSJ for the first time (Unless you count the weird version of SSJ we see in Goku vs Slug) and lets face it, he won by the skin of his teeth really. He almost died once as a SSJ, but then sorta 'rose from the dead' but BAH! my point is, the Red Chakra and SSJ are actually quite similar concepts. And sorta echoing some guy who sounded like he wanted to be writing magazines (..been waiting for a series like this...and its finally here!---, well, just Shhhhh....cos thats how ppl get piles.
Um, ahhh. wollop. man. :|
Right well. Im blabbering a bit now. Its weird how many different kinds of stoned you can get. PS. if you gotwoot ppl need anyone to work from home for like free and stuff, then gimme a shout, Im spending all my time on the site anyways nowadays.
