I'm sure we all know by now that Naruto has some pretty obvious shoutouts to Dragon Ball. But do you know how far down that rabbit hole goes?!:


 * Jiraiya is ninja Master Roshi.
 * Sakura is a pink-haired Bulma. Pretty useless to begin with but eventually evolves into a vital character, albeit not as flashy and OP as her co-stars (don't debate over this).
 * A princess/heiress with a traditional Asian haircut who was in love with a doofus in orange since childhood and has two kids with him. Am I talking about Hinata or Chi-Chi?
 * A white-skinned, androgynous main villain with a squad of henchmen who incapacitate everyone besides the main hero. GINYU FORCE RULES
 * Kisame's Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique is fired using the exact same hand movements as a Kamehameha (Turtle Destruction Wave). Sharks and Turtles...may or may not also be a Finding Nemo reference.
 * Sasuke and Boruto = Piccolo and Gohan.
