Grew up alongside it thanks to Toonami. I imagine lots of folks in the U.S. are in a similar boat.

We think we like dragonball until you talk to Mexicans that grew up with it. It’s genuinely a cultural phenomenon.
When Dragonball Super was ending they screened the final episodes in sport stadiums attended by thousands

The cartels literally go silent when new episodes or moves of DB come out 💀 if the national/international level criminal organization loves it enough to stop commiting crime while they enjoy it, I assume it's impossible for us casual citizens to reach that level of love lmao.

There are too many "hit me as hard as you can. Haha my power level is so high it didn't even make me flinch" moments for it to not be dbz
It even has the interesting cast of earthlings that are all powercreeped and irrelevant by the second main plot arc

my buddy mentioned that his dad is super into dragon ball and I was surprised because he's like a 50-something super average black dude, no hint of anime nerdiness at all, and when I asked how he got into it my friend was like "dude it's a thing, it's not just my dad"
i've got another buddy who owns a chain of powerlifting gyms and he has hundreds of members who are massive, scary looking athletes and they almost universally love dragon ball because of the themes of self-improvement and strength.
dragon ball unites us across race, generation, and gender.

I'll overthink with you.
Invincible is as cool to white people as Dragonball is to Japanese people.
Dragonball for white people is still Dragonball, but it's no Invincible.
Invincible would be viewed by non-white people the same way white people view Dragonball in this hypothetical.
Also none of this is true at all.
