Let me know of any other obscure Sonic and Dragon Ball parallels you know!

What’s really cool is the Easter egg cheat code in Sonic Mania! At the level select screen, if you play the songs 9-0-0-1 in that order, it gives you all of Sonics abilities!! (Drop dash, insta-shield, Peel-out) #itsOver9000!!!!

The opening and closing animations from Sonic CD were also done by Toei Animation, the studio that makes the Dragon Ball anime! EDIT: My mistake, it was actually done by Studio Junio ;3;

“im kinda hungry now”😂 but agreed!!! Dragon Ball and Sonic are just two goated franchises

Did you know, that when they were making silver, the creators directly took inspiration from trunks from dbz, including his backstory (apocalyptic future) and characteristics (serious, wants to prevent bad future etc.)

Me and my friend constantly debate the sonic and dragon ball parallels maby showing him this video can finally settle things

Genesis Era Sonic: Dragon Ball Adventure/Unleashed Era Sonic: Dragon Ball Z/GT Colors Era Sonic: Dragon Ball Super

Sorta late, but Namekians and Echidnas are EXTREMELY similar. Two tribal races, both the soul protector of 7 mystical items, and only one member of their race is still on earth today and a part of the main cast.

In an old DBZ movie, there was a False Super Saiyan that looks kinda like Dark Sonic (darker hair/spines then the normal super form, blank pupils, very angry) as well as some "Rage mode" transformations later on

8:35 another thing to add to that though it’s more of an headcanon thing. Ian Flynn basically said that he believed Shadow and Amy would hook up like how Vegeta and Bulma did and Silver was their descendant.

...I'm a little surprised you didn't point out the similar approach to Sonic and Kid Goku's character designs (soft round shapes for the body contrasted against sharp angular shapes for the hair)

That thumbnail is disturbing. It looks like my sleep paralysis demon. Or worse yet, the Sonic movie version one design

Hey chaomix, can you make a tutorial on the key features to making a sonic drawing in the adventure style?

The stigma around 06 and evolution are quite similar in both fanbases. Not to mention that both tried to capitalize on the first title in their series.

This was very very interesting. I one thing that stood out was hearing of the silver comparison.

Hm, I thought the Werehog was a direct reference to, I don't know, WEREWOLVES?

This is kind of off-topic, but actually Sonic Adventure 2 was not inspired by shonen manga like Dragonball, but a shoujo manga, Please Save My Earth.

The burst limit score at the end, so good.

I got into Sonic and Dragon Ball in the same exact year of 2000, good times.

You already nailed the beginning by using a dragon ball technique and then using a sonic adventure 2 ost, I think im gonna love this.

Meanwhile I'm drawing parallels between Sonic and Mega Man.

My man, your videos are getting better and better every upload. Let's hit that 2K

5:26 I love this one so much, because SA2 is my favorite Sonic game, and the Freiza saga is my favorite part of Dragon Ball.

There's a difference between ripping off something or taking enflunment from something and sonic does it right.

I'm surprised you didn't mention Sonic: Nazo Unleashed by ChakaX. A great fan-made movie really based around DBZ. Or at least the fights are. Super excited for squeal!

So close to 2k!!

Loving all these new vids man!

I guess i have to check out Dragon Ball now

You know, there have actually been several what ifs of What if the Sonic universe and the Dragon Ball universe were one universe. I’m even making my own one.

The closest to a crossover we ever had between these 2 series was when Sonic was promoting Dragon Ball Z Kai on 4Kids... Thank you Sonic, I now know that piccolo is actually saiyan after ALL these years.

Using the Budokai 2 opening music? Thats a thumbs up from me yo.

i just binged watch all ur videos man its amazing keep it up!

Im kinda disapointed, because none of those things were obscure except the eye thing. I was hoping to hear some new points but those that you spoke about in this video are brought up in every discussion regarding the two series. That along with things like amy being chi chi, the babylon rouges being the androids, the super emeralds being the parallels to the namekian dragon balls, the hyper form being a reference to KaioKen x100 / super sayian 2 etc.

This burst limit music is makin' me feel some type of way...

Sonic 3 eyes are a glitch as a developer said (can’t remember who rn) classic super sonic always had black eyes look at the sonic 3 ending he has a black eyes in his full ending art

Chaos Emeralds - and Super Sonic - being tied to the plot... remember when that was a thing? At least there's that fan radio drama Sonic and Tails R - featuring Ryan Drummond and Mike Pollock - that bring them back, and put importance on them for the first time since Unleashed. Yes they were also in Generations, but that barely had a plot, being instead more focused on being a greatest hits. There was also this I remember seeing that shows the Black Goku arc from Dragon Ball Super is basically just Sonic 06 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rsuVl6-hq6jYaGQ.html

Shadow was always compared to Vegeta even before the writers of Colors took over. I never understood why folks of today act like it's a new thing. Good work as always.

Another obscure parallel is that shadow and vegeta were characters that were supposed to die at the end of their arc but because of their popularity, they remained

I love Dragon Ball and Sonic, so I love the similarities.

In Night of The Werehog, Sonic is already on the ground in one scene, but transforms into the Werehog by looking at the moon. Continuity error maybe, but still a connection to Saiyans and the Great Ape form they unwillingly change into.

The thumbnail looks awesome dude

It’s funny that near the start of the outro he said “if you haven’t tried the other, please give it a go”. The funny thing is, why would we be for dragon ball when this is a sonic channel! 😂😂

In Sonic Adventure when you charge up the light dash and Sonic glows blue that always reminded me of the Kaioken. I guess it works considering it upgrades during the game into a fast attack.

The first time I seen Dragon Ball Z I have noticed the smaltites with Sonic the Hedgehog, granted Dragon Ball came out before Sonic but you know. Because Sonic is compared to Dragon Ball I thought that Sonic works better as a Shonen series rather than have JRPG and Saturday Morning Cartoon plots, One of My favorite Sonic fans animation is Sonic Nazo Unleashed and how Chakra X took inspiration from Dragon Ball and applied it to Sonic such as the fast pace combat and the fact that Sonic and Shadow can fuse into Shadic. Here's a bit of fun fact The Character Monkey Khan/Ken Khan from the Archie comics is based off of Sun Wukong and Dragon Ball was a huge inspiration from Journey to the West.

cool video, I am also a fan of both.

You finally talk about your profile picture looks like Son Goku at a young age

We need the Shonen elements back in Sonic games.

One other similarity is that both series are victims of meme culture, and are blindly hated because of the memes (dang it IGN and TeamFourStar).

Good video my brutha

How does this great video not have 1000 likes yet its literally 2 away

I've always compared the Sonic in the OVA movie version to Goku. Both extremely OP.

I like pointing out Neo Metal Sonic and Cell, and even Heroes and the Android+Cell Saga as a whole. Metal scans and copies the abilities of Sonic, Shadow, and Chaos (through Froggy and Chocola), and Cell was created with the DNA of Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, and Freeza. Both were created by archetypical mad scientists to be their ultimate creations, and while it was a different creation for Gero, both were betrayed by their own creations. Hell, both Metal Overlord and Super Perfect Cell couldn’t be defeated by the protagonist by themselves, with Super Sonic needing Tails and Knuckles while Gohan was stalemating against Cell until not only Goku’s otherworldly motivation, but Cell getting distracted momentarily by Vegeta during the Kamehameha clash.

I knew you'd do exactly that at the intro lol

Got To fight fast

Like you, I am a big fan of both the Sonic franchise AND the Dragonball franchise since my childhood years. Also like you, the Sonic franchise and the Dragonball franchise influenced my art as a child. Furthermore, there was another obscure similarity between the Sonic franchise and the Dragonball franchise that you didn't mention in this video and that similarity is that Freeza in his first form travels in a flying machine similar to the flying machine that Eggman travels in (especially in the classic Sonic games for the Sega Genesis).

i loved watching dbz videos before sleep i loved watching sonic videos before sleep and i really really loved watching this video before going to bed this nigh, probably one of my favorite videos now!

I like how pretty much the only sonic games that use choas emeralds as a main story point is sonic 3 and knuckles. Sonic adventure 2(and 1), sonic 02, and sonic unleashed. Every other sonic game is just like. WHATS A CHOAS EMERALD AGAIN

The background music just gives me nostalgia overload.

Finally someone who understands the inspiration in Sonic unlike the DBZ fans on TikTok who Say Sonic copied Dbz and start a fight.

I love both 🦔💙

Sonic is the 3rd party franchise to need another representative. There are 3 possible characters to become fighters: Shadow, Tails, Dr. Eggman. In my opinion it should be Shadow to break the (-) stigma on Sonic as campy & annoying playstyle. To also break the mold of having TWO spin dashes (just why did they do this?). We see a patern in Fighters Pass 2, that the characters are from the same company from Fighter Pass 1. We have Nintendo with Byleth & Min Min. We have Microsoft with Banjo & Steve. We have Squire Enix with Hero & Sepiroth. Now we three slots left. So far the two other companies Altus & SNK & third slot for fan favorite. Joker from Persona franchise which is owned by Altus franchise which is also owned by Sega. So Sega can add another Sonic representative in Smash. Shadow can be added in a way that Sakurai tells us the Assist Trophy Shadow is a "Shadow Android" & gives the possibility for the real Shadow to be playable. I think Shadow should be the one to break the Assist Trophy "fan rule". Shadow can be sort of a mix between Sonic & Mewtwo with a hint of EDGE to the hog. A character who is nearly as fast as Sonic with Chaos powers that can teleport, throw projectiles, can even create a huge explosion (Chaos Blast). This time Sakurai needs to bring moveset from SONIC BATTLE to Shadow's moveset. Make people appreciate the Sonic Franchise. Not to mention that Sonic's 30th anniversary is right around the corner. What better way to celebrate than to bring in "The ULTIMATE LIFEFORM" in Smash Ultimate.

Ultra Instinct is brought inspiration from Ultra Sonic in the Archie Comics.

Sonic is like a mix of Super Mario, Mega Man, Dragon Ball and Woody Woodpecker...

So we have: The Dr. Robotnik Saga (Sonic 1) The Metal Sonic Saga (Sonic cd) The Death Egg Saga (Sonic 2) The Death Egg Saga part II (Sonic 3 & Knuckles) The Metal Sonic Saga part II (Knuckles Chaotix) The Chaos Saga (Sonic Adventure) The Biolizard saga (Sonic Adventure 2) The Metal Sonic Saga part III (Sonic Heroes) The Black Doom Saga (Shadow the Hedgehog) The Sol Dimension Saga (Sonic Rush and Rush Adventure) The Mephiles Saga (Sonic '06)

There are some similarities between the Metarex Saga of Sonic X and the Black Star Dragon Ball saga from Dragon Ball GT. Both of then involve a major character being deaged into a child (Chris in Sonic X and Goku in Dragon Ball GT), both involve the cast being forced to go to space in order to recover macguffins (chaos emeralds and planet egg in Sonic X, black star dragon balls in Dragon Ball GT) and both involve a new ally who turns out to be connected to a major enemy faction (Cosmo being connected to the Metarex in Sonic X, Giru being connected to the Machine Mutants in Dragon Ball GT).

I can agree sonic and dbz are AMAZING

by the way have you noticed anything that started in the sonic series but had something similar appear in dragonball super 2015-2018

It was just confirmed that shadow is based off spawn not Vegeta.

some parts of goku's spiky hair are resembling the iconic three spikes that sonic has. do you see it?

Your babies? Ok

Goten is literally the dragonball version of classic sonic think about it Goten's design harkens back to when goku was back in dragon ball and for classic sonic is basically harkens back to when sonic was back in the early 90s

This was an *EXCELLENT* video, dude!!!~☆☆☆😎😎😎😳😳😳😍😍😍💜💖💙💚⚡⚡⚡

Now i want sonic to shoot a Energy ray as a Finisher!😀

Love the budokai 2 music in the background

Another parallel that sonic has with dbz is that jakks the company now making sonic figures also used to make some dbz figs as well

What about comparing sonic to Naruto, I always thought Sakura was a human version of Amy.

That’s it I’m going to try the show

Lol, Chaomix is a Sayian confirmed.😂 Also, how long did it take you to make that? Plus, I can't help but imagine you and Sonic Central doing like that lol.

fleetway super sonic and broly/kale

the chao garden remind me of the after life in dbz

Yep

We need a crossover.

Godzilla also somehow has some similarities to DragonBall also mostly the heisei series.

I suppose Cell and Metal Sonic are similar. Both were built to kill the main protagonist, they can use techniques/abilities of the other characters. Not to mention that they also have multiple forms.

I always thought that the spiky hair of SSJ3 was very similar to Sonic's spines.

Which "Assist Trophy" character deserves to be the fighter? It's either between Waluigi or Shadow. Honestly Shadow the Hedgehog has a much better moveset potential over Waluigi. Not to mention that Shadow is much more important than Waluigi in the role of his franchise. I need to relive the moments of Super Mario Bro Z with all the main characters including the Ultimate Lifeform to be a part of the ULTIMATE SMASH BROS. The ULTIMATE LIFEFORM should be the one to break "fan rule" of Assist Trophy being upgraded in the same game.

cool i didn't think many people agreed with me when i thought silver was a direct decendent of shadow

Are your cutscenes inspired by sonic adventure monologues when the character talk about themselves or their situation

I think sonic is like burter because there both fast and there blue, I also thought that knuckles was more like vegeta because at one point they worked for a evil tyrant (Frieza/Eggman) but then they became good guys, and shadow being like piccolo because they were "Made" by there... "Fathers?" and they didnt know there past and they both had gravely voices

Silver is Shadows son. Confirmed. Canon.

Burstlimit music

Did you know that sonic is getting a new game

To make it MORE DBZ, Make Silver Shadow's Descendant.

The end sounds like it’s cut off. Is this part of a larger video?

I think sonic and Amy are the parents of sliver

Izuka said shadow isn't slivers dad 9:26

I love sonic and DBZ too XD

I remember realizing that Sonic 3 Super Sonic had Green eyes because it's a reference to Super Saiyan and I was kinda dumbfounded

Chaos Emerald Z

I would absolutely love a second dragon ball themed channel tbh
