genuinely the key that made me go from not appreciating dragonball z to like, understanding exactly how it works and why it's the hypest shit to ever exist was someone talking about how it's inspired by wrestling. it explains everything. literally every part of it makes sense viewed through that lens
Just some bug!!!!

This is also the key to understanding No More Heroes, and just SUDA 51 in general (he literally voiced a masked wrestler character i the early Yakuza games)
Oh... Oh that... makes so much sense. I need to start watch Dragon Ball...
right????
like. seemingly mediocre plots but with characters everyone's obsessed with? guys dying and then suddenly coming back for no reason? endless lore with a heavy focus on who's related to who and who trained who? a huge focus on the fights BEING the plot as opposed to being one part of it?
it's WRESTLING
Obviously telegraphed moves and usually knowing who's going to come out on top, but who cares because it's all so bombastic and impressive? That's WRESTLING!
