Is Sonic A Dragon Ball Rip-Off...? 

The Title should have been Sonic was "inspired" by Dragon Ball Z, not "Ripped Off."

Sonic the hedgehog is not a Rip off that was SEGA idea to copyright Dragon Ball Z Sonic did nothing to Dragon Ball Z

Sonic is part of my Childhood and I never, (not even once) cpnsidered it to be a DBZ rip-off. That's like saying Mario ripped-off Popeye.

@@nsplayer4970 Exactly, and Shigeru Miyamoto even admitted in an interview that the 1985 SMB1 was inspired by PAC-Land, but you don’t hear people calling Mario a rip-off of PAC-Man. I love both Sonic and DBZ, but I hate it when people call Sonic a rip-off of the anime. Obviously some elements took inspiration from DBZ, but EVERYTHING has taken inspiration from another piece of media. And I forgot to mention that the design for Super Saiyan was based off of Sun Wukong.

​@@faithful_otaku7339dang, bro really did his research.

Haha thanks. Also, the number 7 is a very spiritual number, especially in Asian culture. There’s plenty of media that also focuses on 7 mystical objects such as the 7 millennium items in Yu-Gi-Oh and the 7 horcruxes in Harry Potter. And the 7 Dragon Balls were probably inspired by the 7 deadly sins from the Bible which of course existed LONG before Dragon Ball.

IDK what you say I know that Sonic the hedgehog didn't copy Dragon ball Z

Like how super sonic needs the chaos emeralds to turn ss while goku needs anger to turn ssj

@@user-os3vo4rh2x And how Super sonic can shares his powers with others. And how Super sonic can warp time, space and reality. Like how there's a dark Super Sonic that comes about through the use of negative emotional energy instead of positive emotional energy. I still don't understand how people call them identical lol

Super Sonic is invulnerable as well, therefore doesn’t bleed like the Super Saiyan.

@@whaleping Yep, and before ppl say it's just a game mechanic, it's not. Super Sonic canonically has taken zero damage in any of his fights other than with Dark Gaia in Sonic Unleashed, and that is because it was specifically stated that Dark Gaia's powers are a direct counter to the Chaos Emeralds

The fact Sonic's super form remains consistent to the present day, where as the legendary super saiyan 1 is basically meaningless in comparison to the following forms.

How the fuck is an anthropomorphic Hedgehog related to a space monkey human I saw the title and i was like "No"

Tl;dr

@@afronautexplorer144 Tl;dr the video and most of the comments are stupid

@@adamchase9513 you are stupid

Valid points but damn why so spiteful, he had good intent. Just because you are more informed, doesn't give you the right to be unnecessarily rude.

@@adamchase9513 Once again, unnecessary spite. Calm down lil bro

Aka rip off

@@hangrythepig661 says the clown with a lame Mario profile pic. Nice try troll

Bro have you looked in the rest of the comments. Some guy was saying Mephiles is a copy of Zamasu even though their goals are completely different and Mephiles came before Zamasu lol. He then went on to say that Cream was Goten and Shadow was Vegeta. They're so desperate to make Sonic seem like a dragonball clone lmao

@@adamchase9513I’m pretty sure shadow was based off of mewtwo from Pokémon, Amy might have been a slight nod towards princess peach at the beginning because she gets captured in cd but her bieng a pink sonic may be her Minnie Mouse inspiration. Nowadays she is her own character with little influence of other characters.

@@thebrickbros.1294 It was stated by the creators that Shadow was based off of Mewtwo. Even if they didn't say it it's very easy to tell if only they would pay attention. Both were created for the purpose of being the ultimate lifeform/pokemon and eventually befriended a young girl early on in their life. After the death of that girl they grew to hate humanity and aimed to destroy it.

@@adamchase9513Watch out for Dragon Ball fans because they can’t do any research

@@adamchase9513 exactly shadow is more like mewtwo then vegeta

Sonic is Peak!

@@triggeredxbot3251 Not only Peak. For me, he´s THE VIDEO GAME GOD !!

​@@adamokon358 yeah in my opinion, Sonic >>>>> fat plumber Mario

@@africanconquerors5178 Of course he does and always will. The only good Mario games in my eyes are Super Mario Land 1 and 2 for the old Gameboy. They´re nice but that´s all. By Sonic on other hand I played most of them. Even hacks and fangames. I hope that we´ll see even Sonics 60th anniversary.

@@adamokon358 same here

They think they can stomp sonic using the power ups of Mario where in reality sonic in base form is enough to out do Mario in every form except for the super star and sonic can destroy the whole Mario verse if he can do(Archie sonic especially)

Sonic STOMPS Mario completely even at his base form.

Mario powerscalers believe that Mario is stronger, tougher, and more versatile than Sonic. Rare cases for them to say Mario is faster than Sonic

@@mrme.484All of this BS if I’m being honest

@@HeroTheHedgehog999I should call the cops on you since you love animals too much

Outside the movies, the seven Chaos Emeralds are, in fact, not made out of the Master Emerald.

head canon

Nah i don't think so

I agree Sonic is way more peak than Mario. Mario is trash

​@@AbdulGhine-oc7zlCool that's what you think

@@AbdulGhine-oc7zl Sonic doesn't take inspiration from Dragon Ball at all.

@@DragonKingMadaraUchiha yeah same to me

I still wouldn't count that as a rip off but influence or inspiration

This guy is chatting shit

@@xhosatribe2525 Only one chatting sh1t is you.

@@xhosatribe2525 You are the one whining and moaning about complete nonsense kid.

Wasn't db there before dc was created?

@@xhosatribe2525 Nope. I stated facts.

Facts. Even Super Sonic is completely different from Super Saiyan

Great explanation

I have a few disagreements Sonic and goku are nothing alike Eggman was created before dr gero and they aren't that alike Tails and krillin are nothing alike Chichi and amy are nothing alike Piccolo and knuckles aren't that alike Shadow and vegeta are nothing alike infact its confirmed that shadow was inspired by mewtwo Beerus and infinite are nothing alike

​@@user-yd2dj4lj1s In fact, I actually disagree with you. Sonic is a lot like Goku. Shadow is a lot like Vegeta. Knuckles is a lot like piccolo. Stop the Sonic hate.

@@afronautexplorer144 Nope. You are the one being a Sonic Hater. Sonic is nothing like Goku. Shadow is not like Vegeta. Knuckles is nothing like Piccolo.

@@DragonKingMadaraUchiha stop chatting bare rubbish. Sonic characters are not like dragon balls you characters and you just can't handle it so shut up

​@@DragonKingMadaraUchiha Sonic is like Goku! YOU ARE THE ONE HATING, Sonic hater! Shadow is like Vegeta and Knuckles is like Piccolo.

No next question

Such nonsense in this comment

Are you mentally ill???

@@xhosatribe2525 You are the only one ranting nonsense here. I stated objective facts.

First question, are you that UltimateSora guy? And also, you can try to claim Sonic ripped off Dragon Ball in someway. Chaos Boost in Sonic 06 rips off Kaioken form being a power up to a character using an energy system in the series that generates a red aura around the character. Chaos Blast rips off Buu’s angry explosion or Vegeta’s Final Explosion. More like Buus angry explosion for the pink color and his act of not dying after usage. The chronicles beam version is comparable to the Galick gun. Maybe you can try and say Chaos is a ripoff of Cell, Hatchiyack, or Baby for the aspect of destroying everything and absorbing things as revenge for an population (species, organization) being destroyed by certain people (Goku, saiyans, echinas). It’s very forced though. And Super Sonic with Super Sayian for design, blonde super states that enhance everything and for at least the Fleetway iteration of the Super Form: increases the characters aggressiveness. The only difference is black/red eyes for the super form in Sonic, compared to teal Super Sayian eyes. Finally, Chaos Control (first shown to stop time in Sonic Adventure 2 in 2 player mode, which SA2 was released in 2001) is a ripoff of Guldo’s time stop showcased in Dragon Ball chapter 274 made in May 15 1990.

@@mrme.484 Wow everything you said was completely wrong. *"First question, are you that UltimateSora guy?"* Nope. Are you that RandomChannel-ny2jq guy. You definitely act a lot like them. Its clear that you are a substitute account trolling. *"And also, you can try to claim Sonic ripped off Dragon Ball in someway."* You really can't. If anything Dragon Ball is one that has ripped off every other series in someway. Dragon Ball's entire plot & theme is just copied from many other series & known characters from other media. Goku ( Superman ), Jiren ( Sasuke ), Hit ( Shadow the Hedgehog ), Piccolo ( Martian Manhunter ), Vegeta ( General Zod ), Moro ( Galactus ), Gohan ( Superboy ), Trunks ( Cable ), Saiyans ( Kryptonians ), Planet Vegeta ( Planet Krypton ), Ginyu Force ( Super Sentai ), Ultra Instinct ( Hyper Sonic ), Ribrianne, Kakunsa, Rosie ( Sailor Moon ), Catopesra ( Power Rangers ), Universe 3 in general is just Power Rangers References, Dercori ( Naruto ), Botamo ( Winnie the Pooh ), Bergamo ( Animal Kaiser : Animal Card Zangetsu ), Pride Troopers ( Super Sentai ), Goku Black | Zamasu ( Mephiles, Scourge & Reverse Flash ), Hit’s Time Skip is literally just copied from Chaos Control ( Sonic Series ) and others. *"Chaos Boost in Sonic 06 rips off Kaioken form being a power up to a character using an energy system in the series that generates a red aura around the character."* Nope. Chaos Boost works completely differently from Kaioken. On that note Red Aura was a thing before the Kaioken & Dragon Ball. Chaos Boost is based on Chaos Blast from Sonic Adventure. A completely different technique. Characters were powering up using energy systems before Dragon Ball existed. You are making false claims without any evidence. It just shows that you know nothing about the Sonic Series or Dragon Ball Series. *"Chaos Blast rips off Buu’s angry explosion or Vegeta’s Final Explosion. More like Buus angry explosion for the pink color and his act of not dying after usage. The chronicles beam version is comparable to the Galick gun."* It really doesn't. The only similarity between Chaos Blast and Dragon Ball Ki Attacks is a massive explosion. Energy attacks and energy explosions were a thing long before Dragon Ball. At this point you are just ranting nonsense and making ridiculous claims based on superficial similarities at best. *"Maybe you can try and say Chaos is a ripoff of Cell, Hatchiyack, or Baby for the aspect of destroying everything and absorbing things as revenge for an population (species, organization) being destroyed by certain people (Goku, saiyans, echinas). It’s very forced though."* Except Dragon Ball wasn't the first series to use that concept. DC Comics & Marvel Comics did that concept first. Chaos has literally nothing in common with Cell, Hatchiyack or Baby. You certainly trying to make forced comparisons that make no sense. Your blatant ignorance is showing. *"And Super Sonic with Super Sayian for design, blonde super states that enhance everything and for at least the Fleetway iteration of the Super Form: increases the characters aggressiveness. The only difference is black/red eyes for the super form in Sonic, compared to teal Super Sayian eyes."* Super Forms existed before Dragon Ball. And Super Sonic existed in concept art before Super Saiyan came out. *"Finally, Chaos Control (first shown to stop time in Sonic Adventure 2 in 2 player mode, which SA2 was released in 2001) is a ripoff of Guldo’s time stop showcased in Dragon Ball chapter 274 made in May 15 1990."* Time Stops were a thing before Dragon Ball. So no, Chaos Control is not a rip off of Guldo. It doesn't even function the same way. You are just ranting a lot of nonsense that you can't actually prove. Goku is a rip off of Superman from DC Comics: Both are human-like aliens who were sent to Earth before their planets were destroyed (Goku from Planet Vegeta and Superman from Planet Krypton) and spent their lives believing they were human until learning the truth as young adults. The difference was that Goku was sent to Earth to destroy it, while Superman was sent to Earth to live in and help it. Both have alien names (Goku was Kakarot and Superman was Kal-El) they seldom go by. Both are aliens that appear as tall and muscular men with fair skin and distinct black hair styles. They both have gained the respect of gods and other such beings, such as Beerus and Whis for Goku and citizens of New Genesis and Themyscira for Superman. They both have an Achilles' Heel that is generic for their respective races: Goku's are his tail (which was cut off when he was young and no longer applies) and hunger, while Superman's is Kryptonite and yellow sunlight depletion/red sunlight exposure. Both can draw power from the sun: Superman subconsciously being empowered by exposure to its light and Goku to create the Spirit Bomb or (reflected off the moon) enter the Great Ape forms. They both have flight, incredible super speed, extreme super strength, super senses, and can emit powerful blasts from their being. Both have fought members of their race who are or were evil: Vegeta for Goku, and Zod for Superman. They both have evil counterparts: Turles, Goku Black, and a clone for Goku, and Ultraman, Bizarro, Cyborg Superman, H'El and Superboy-Prime for Superman. They both have married an Earth woman: Chi-Chi for Goku, and Lois Lane for Superman. Both have half-human sons, Gohan and Goten for Goku, and Jonathan Kent for Superman, who have been implied to have the potential to be more powerful than their respective fathers. Both had contact from their race through a blood relative (Raditz and Kara Zor-El). Both have discovered that their race home planet was not completely wiped from existence (Universe 6 Saiyans and the Citizens of Kandor). Both have fathers who foresaw the end of their home planet and attempted to save it (Bardock and Jor-El). Both have also fought virtually unstoppable monsters from their home planet (Broly and Doomsday). Both are pacifists by nature who refused to use more power than necessary to face a problem (albeit Goku also does this for the sake of a better challenge while Superman fears hurting others too much in general). Both are considered the greatest champion of good for their people and known for their pure/noble views in life.

Nope. The Sonic Series has nothing to do with Dragon Ball.
