Dragon Ball Z VS Naruto

            I don’t understand why everyone wants to compare Dragon Ball Z with Naruto. They are both adventurous anime action shows with two main characters wanting to be stronger than the other. Although the second main character trains harder than the first he still doesn’t beat the main character. The only difference is Dragon Ball Z has been made longer than Naruto. Dragon Ball Z first episode was produced April 26, 1989. Naruto first episode was produced October 3, 2002. They both where first created and published in Japan.

I use to have every Dragon Ball Z tap in the world. I had all the episodes ever made on tap. The taps cases use to make a picture when you put them together. I was born in 1997, so Dragon Ball Z was way before my time. Once Naruto started previewing I couldn’t keep up with the both of the television shows. Therefor I just watched one at a time and caught a episode of each when I could. My childhood cartoon growing up was Dragon Ball Z. Naruto appeared and caught my attention because it was similar to Dragon Ball Z. I have even read books for both of the cartoons.  Sense I already watched the episodes before I read the books, I already knew what was going to happen. I only read the books because I was bored and wondered if the book would have some cut out parts from the television show.

            Dragon Ball Z has great characters in the show. The main character name is Goku. Goku is the strongest bread of what the call a super sayian. A super sayian is a immortal power which humans wish they had. It is a power of strength and having a tail. When fully transformed into full capacity, you turn into a huge monkey. In your human form you will have a monkey tail. You can fly and have a energy level which can be read by other sayian before they decide to destroy you. Goku’s father was the last legendary full blood sayian besides Goku. Goku fought and made friends with a sayian who popped up to find him name prince Vageta. Vageta is a prince sayian who feels that no one should be stronger than him. He trains every day and tries to train on the level that Goku trains and fails miserably. Throughout the battles Vageta goes through and tries to overcome strength to beat Goku he fails and never accepts the fact he can’t beat him.

            Naruto is sort of a ninja type of televisions show. It involves having chakra and extreme martial arts skills. They activate strength and energy through hand signals and Jutsu name 

calling. Naruto is a journey of a young boy with a power in him called the nine tailed fox. He dreams of being the leader of his childhood neighborhood.  Naruto had a best friend who was on his team while growing up becoming a ninja. They fought because they remain to keep this grudge against each other of who has been through a worst struggle.
