I'm watching Dragon Ball and realized how many ideas and themes toriyama stuffed there, most problems with modern shonen are very understandable and tolerable in the context of Dragon Ball (training, excessive eating, people going back to life, asspulls.. etc), why did the faggots steal his ideas and incorporated them in theirs out of context like this? it was lazy and unrealistic in their respective stories. I think many mangakas actually just wanted to capitalize on DB's success than anything else, so much for the japanese originality huh

>>730 Japanese are creative and original in changing concepts and giving new viewpoints to established concepts. 100% better than western jewish garbage.

>>730 >training Was already a big trope of shounen manga. Look back at Ashita no Joe, which had multiple training arcs and the protagonist didn't even become a boxer until a sixth of the way through the series. >excessive eating This is just Japanese humour. Dragon Ball is just the one series that bothered giving the joke a form on internal context, that being Saiyajins just eat a lot. It extends from the hyper active kid idea of shounen protagonist. >people going back to life This also isn't anything Dragon Ball started. It's a common trope to have a character die and come back, though Dragon Ball had the balls to straight up have them be wished back. >asspulls Asspulls have existed in stories since the dawn of time (i.e., "And then, pirates appeared").
