Are you a crazy Dragon Ballfanatic? Or do you preach Naruto from the rooftops to all that will hear? Do your parents call your spiked, blonde-dye chore a phase and non understand that y'all've turned Super Saiyan? And so you've come to the right place.

Dragon Ballis ane of the most famous and successful anime franchises of all time. It's almost incommunicable to avert even if you don't similar anime or manga (and if you don't, what'due south wrong with you?) A generation afterward, Naruto came along. Information technology was heavily inspired by Dragon Brawl and also attained lofty heights in the pantheon of anime fandom. But ever since the showtime episode of Naruto aired, fans of either evidence have been at each other's throats debating which one is better. It's non unlike the Pokémon vs. Digimon feuds from years ago. Both shows feature superhuman characters who duke it out and save the world from peril. It'due south only natural that otakus would butt heads over which characters from which franchise could beat each other up. Naruto draws heavy inspiration from Dragon Ball  — is it an comeback on its muse or is information technology a paltry knockoff?

This battle, once waged in the playgrounds, has now found a new front end. I'm talking nigh memes. This article highlights the all-time arguments of patriotic soldiers on both sides. If you feel strongly one way or another, I highly recommend giving these funny memes a gander because they take both shows to task.

Here are 25 Hilarious Dragon Ball vs Naruto Memes.

25 This One Will Blow Up Their Arguments

funnyjunk

This 1's a no-brainer. One surefire style to shut downward any Dragon Ball vs Naruto statement is to bring up two words: Spirit Flop. Yes, Naruto'southward Rasengan is a powerful assail. Yes, Naruto can probably destroy anybody in his own universe. It still stands to reason that Goku tin utterly decimate Naruto with a Spirit Flop considering it tin destroy planets. The logic is inescapable. Even Goku knows information technology— and he's the most self-effacing, pocket-size son of a gun in the entire world. The next time some frothing-at-the-mouth nerd tries to argue that Naruto tin beat Goku in a fight, you bring up the words: Spirit Bomb. Of course, there's notwithstanding the question as to who would win in a 1-on-one gainsay without planet-wide apocalyptic abilities.

24 Yes, But That's Non Fifty-fifty The Turtle'south Terminal Class

Not gonna lie. Dragon Ball sorta deserves the shade beingness thrown here. As this listing shows, one of the major complaints against the franchise is the glacier speed at which information technology frequently moves. This is for the just good reason that exists in our world: to make more of that sugariness, sweet dragon ball coin. It'southward the reason why the show had to release an abridged version years afterwards, to appease fans who didn't want to spotter Goku ability up for seven episodes nonstop. To exist fair, Naruto suffers from the aforementioned bug. When the next leg of the story hadn't been fully released in manga grade, the bear witness stalled for time by introducing dozens and dozens of filler episodes. Yous're both turtles on the highway!

23 Aw, Look At The Cute Kids

This one isn't even debatable. On this list you will discover much testify of how Naruto was heavily inspired by Dragon Ball . The creator even admits to modelling Naruto's physique on Goku's Super Saiyan form. Once seen, it can't be unseen. So it comes as no surprise that the characters' battle stances would be similar besides. Though, as this meme incisively homes in on, those differences could be a tad more than subtle. I'one thousand all for the Naruto creator finding inspiration in Akira Toriyama, merely actually, practise they have to the aforementioned exact stances? Couldn't one of their feet be angled differently or something? Nosotros're non asking for much here. Similar, I'm that teacher that will give a pass to homework that'due south been copied, just don't re-create the same name besides.

22 Couldn't They Take At Least Changed The Opinion?

funnyjunk

Without a doubt, this ane's my favourite meme on the list. You're all familiar with Krillin's Destructo Disc. I'1000 talking well-nigh that disc-shaped aura of power Krillin summons by holding one mitt above his head and gritting his teeth like he's gotta take a wicked number two. It's a fairly iconic gesture in the Dragon Ball universe, so of course, anything iconic from Dragon Ball needs to be copied by Naruto. It's up for argue how much of Naruto'due south technique tin can be chalked up to homage or downright copying. Over again, I'thousand all for taking inspiration from one of the greatest anime series of all time, simply couldn't they angle themselves slightly differently? Does it have to exist the Exact aforementioned pose? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

21 We All Take That 1 Friend

pics.me.me

This one's my favourite meme on the list. I don't know about y'all, simply I hadn't stumbled across this exemplary Shrek meme in my voyages along the informational rainbow that is the internet. But I have to say, I am a fan. This meme reference the early 2000s masterpiece that is Shrek 2, and no, I am not being ironic. In that scene, Shrek meets Fiona's parents for the commencement fourth dimension and let'due south just say information technology does not go well. They argue something fierce. The scene has been culturally re-appropriated to draw the perpetual boxing waging between Naruto and Dragon Ball viewers. Points to Donkey for his out-of-left-field reference to Inu Yasha, which you only watched to impress that girl that one time in seventh Form. Nosotros all take that Donkey friend, admit it. I'k talking about that kid who'south similar, "I really liked the Avatar motion-picture show!"

20 Super Saiyan Yao Ming

If at that place'southward i thing we tin can all agree on, it's that Yamcha is ane weak character. In fact, information technology'south something of a theme running through this listing. So you know it'due south one heck of an insult when Goku claims that Naruto tin't even beat Yamcha. Ouch. Not even a senzu edible bean is gonna heal Naruto from that ill burn. This meme, of course, is a reworking of the viral Yao Ming face. For all y'all kiddies out there who possibly weren't former enough in the wee early '00s, Yao Ming is a retired Chinese basketball game superstar who once graced planet earth by making this face at a press briefing. Now it's the visual equivalent to maxim, "female domestic dog, please." The meme is put to its total potential here, we must say.

19 Naruto Got The Joke 30 Seasons Afterwards

Pinterest

In one case again, we address the whole Rasengan vs Spirit Flop that has plagued Naruto vs Dragon Ball scholars since fourth dimension immemorial. Except here in that location'south a twist—Naruto has a comeback! That witty footling sprite brings up the fact that it doesn't accept him x episodes to use Rasengan. Equally nosotros all know, sometimes information technology tin can take about half a flavour just to scout a trickle of sweat drop downwards Goku'due south face up. If the meme ended right there, it would exist like, oh boy that was one heck of a whopper. Information technology would exist like pack it up we're done here, you know what I'thou maxim? But no. It goes on. Unable to allow Naruto have the last line, Goku hijacks Naruto's ain comeback meme and hits Naruto with the hard truth that 300 episodes subsequently, he'southward got a lot of his own filler.

eighteen Not Fifty-fifty Shenlong Has That Power

pinimg

In this Naruto vs Dragon Ball crossover meme extraordinaire, both shows get off lightly. Nobody's skewered except for a couple of characters. It seems that not even Shenlong has the power to see what'due south behind Kakashi's mask. That Sixth Hokage is even more than inscrutable than South Park'due south Kenny. As all diehard Naruto fans know, Kakashi has good reason for keeping himself subconscious— he'southward got a lot of demons inside him. Okay, maybe not real demons like Naruto'southward that are actually, you know, literally within him. You get my signal. With Kakashi's disgraced male parent, he hides himself to hibernate the pain. In that location are a lot of theories that I'm totally non googling for the offset time here. Anyway, information technology turns out that Dragon Ball'south famed dragon can't bring people dorsum to life twice and tin can't unmask ane shifty ninja teacher.

Here we're getting into some adult territory. For those kiddies out there who don't know what a furry is— well, first I green-eyed you— second, might I betoken you lot in the direction of this video clip. Go on. Spotter. I'll wait. Back? Well, as you can tell from watching that video clip, information technology explained nothing about furries and I'thousand non going to either. For those of you who do understand, you know what a massive insult it is to Naruto. It's plainly a play on Naruto's inner demon and that he's kind of a fox boy. What an insult… Unless y'all're a furry too. If that'southward the instance, I totally support you and to each his ain. Just please don't pet sit for me ever.

xvi This Is What Happens When Your Parents Butcher Your Favourite Shows

me.me

This is my favourite meme on the list. Yep, I'm picking favourites. In that location are no rules against it. Here we have a play on many anime all at once, every bit the best anime memes are wont to do. This imagine perfectly captures what your mom or dad become through when they try to depict your favourite anime or manga to someone. Information technology'due south a complete hodgepodge; a immature Goku is accepting a Digimon/Pokémon hybrid and calling it a beyblade. In that location'south just so much wrong about this. Imagine if Zelda was a girl, amirite? Beyblade, for you kiddies out there, was the precursor to today's fidget spinners. They battled in bowls and everything. Dorsum in my solar day, our spinners fought in the great wars, gosh dangit!

xv Find Out Next Time On TheGamer Z

me.me

Finally, 1 point in the Naruto column for the Naruto vs Dragon Ball controversy. The controversy, of course, is generally created by me by making this listing in the first identify. Then hither an bearding meme artist has pointed out a salient point— it takes Goku manner too long to summon a Spirit Flop. Then when you factor in filler episodes, it's like ten GBs worth of show while he ramps up the attack. It's much quicker with Naruto. Our favourite yellow-haired ninja takes less than five seconds to shoot his load. In a lot of circumstances, that would be considered a bad thing. But it's nothing to worry about for people who make Naruto vs Dragon Ballmemes… or people who make lists about those memes.

14 Is This Even A Contest?

pinterest

Count down with me now.. Ah-Super Saiyan Ane… Ah-Super Saiyan Ii.. Ah-Super Saiyan— y'all get the thought. Each panel of this comic depicts a dissimilar iteration of Goku'south famous forms. How many iterations does Naruto have? THAT'South Correct ZERO. GOSH. Okay, he'southward got the fob and his chakra, but that doesn't practice much against a Super Saiyan Four. In fact, it'south impressive that Naruto lasts as many panels as he does. My coin would've been on Goku defeating him before we saw any panels, thus the comic never existing in the first place. What? Take a problem with me being biased against Naruto here? If you really wanna go back at me, share this with all your friends and family and bring in the clicks to testify them only how wrong I am. That would be actually sad for me.

13 At that place's Merely Then Much Incorrect Here

pinimg

Oooof, there'southward so much wrong here. Wrong technique. Wrong anime. At first, this is simple fiddling meme, good for a sensible chuckle. But I, Patrick Belmore, take become something of a memologist in my tenure at TheGamer and I call up nosotros tin can unpack this further. While a simple joke on the surface, this meme attempts to illuminate the symbolism inherent in the fusion technique and how Naruto fuses with its main inspiration, to wit, Dragon Ball. Naruto and Sasuke emulate Trunks and Goten because, in upshot, these are spiritual copies of the onetime. The bearding meme maker is making a poignant commentary on the cultural traditions and influences of anime and manga. Next time someone says they don't like memes, you can reply with, "Oh, so y'all don't like art?"

12 Hey, That's Profiling!

9gag

Naruto looks and then much like a Super Saiyan that even Frieza forgets who they're battling. You can't blame Frieza. Naruto is purposefully designed to look similar a Super Saiyan. Maybe at first it was because the makers of Naruto were hoping to misfile naive moms and dads who went shopping for Dragon Ball merchandise in Communist china town. Regardless, the fact remains that Naruto could be Goku's illegitimate son and it would make complete sense. This meme pokes a trivial fun at that idea while besides hitting on another point— Naruto characters are way underpowered compared to Dragon Ball characters. You know it'd bad if we're talking, like, early sagas similar the Namek saga. If Naruto is doomed confronting Frieza, how the heck can he stand up up to Goku?

11 The 2 Most Useless Characters

imgflip

This 1's gonna split some fanboys and fangirls. Some say Sakura is the weakest character in the Naruto universe. Then information technology'due south hardly a daze that someone thought to compare her to Yamcha, who too holds the title of useless character in his respective universe. Sakura's got a lot more going on for her than Yamcha, I think we can all hold. For one, she'southward one of the summit three main characters in Naruto whereas Yamcha might've been a principal graphic symbol for a little while someback when… I tin't remember… but Sakura's still going strong. Mayhap the Naruto creator hasn't given her enough spotlight, just she'due south certainly featured. Championed for her brains, Sakura tin can defeat Yamcha whatever twenty-four hours of the week. That's official TheGamer policy.

10 In that location'due south Something Besides Familiar Well-nigh Naruto...

Yet some other dig at Naruto'due south eerily close resemblance to the main bandage of Dragon Brawl.This drawing shows Naruto scampering off like he got away with some mischief that Yamcha was too dimwitted to take hold of. Well, Yamcha might be likewise dim to take hold of it, merely I, Patrick Belmore, sure aren't. Non only is Naruto's hair pretty much a carbon-re-create of Goku'south Super Saiyan form, they had to go alee and imitate his exact wardrobe also. Not a lot of points in the creativity department in that location, I must say. Merely the choice worked out. Naruto is one of the most successful anime franchises of all time, second just to perhaps— hey Dragon Ball! Information technology's no coincidence the protagonists look identical; the familiarity was a span for many old Dragon Ball fans.

9 I Think Goku's Gonna Win This Ane

img.meme

Whoa. Naruto managed to land a legit burn on Goku. His fourth dimension-space barrier is one of his most impressive techniques. Out of all the abilities that could give the cast of Dragon Balla run for its money, the time-infinite barrier would be that ability. Unfortunately, information technology still doesn't hold a candle to Goku's seemingly god-like powers. Naruto might be able to create a fourth dimension-space bulwark, but Goku still has the ability to teleport anywhere he wants instantly. Goku can travel anywhere— except for back home to Gohan and Chic where he'll be a supportive father. Go real. Lamentable, Naruto, it seems that even the last ace in the hole you had against Goku yet couldn't cut it. Better luck next time.

viii This One's Sure To, Um, Surprise. Right.

pics.me.me

Here'southward a mark against Dragon Ball. Krillin has a penchant, for well, e'er getting killed. Whether on Earth or Namek, Krillin is sure stretching Shenlong's tolerance for bringing people back from the dead multiple times. In fact, Krillin's proper noun comes upward A LOT on lists about characters who die the most in Dragon Ball. He was first killed by King Piccolo's son, then he was killed past Frieza. Don't forget that time where he'south turned into chocolate and eaten by Majin Buu. The normal dragonballs were enough to bring Krillin dorsum the first fourth dimension, merely information technology took the Namekian dragonballs to bring him back the second fourth dimension. If you're counting Dragon Ball  GT, Krillin is also killed A FOURTH TIME by Android 17. Gotta pretend to be shocked, indeed.

7 Krillin Rae Jepsen

pinimg

Surprise, surprise. Krillin is dead again. One of the ways that Naruto is fashion better than Dragon Ball is that Naruto doesn't have friends who go around getting killed and needing reviving all the time. It'southward a wonder Goku tin can find whatsoever time to relieve the world when he's so busy having to scavenge dragonballs and bring dorsum his little bald friend every other year. Taking a cue from Carly Rae Jepsen, this truth is forever immortalized in a clever wordplay on the familiar radio ditty that drove us all insane a few years ago. Naruto will go to farthermost lengths to assist his friend, even that sullen old Sasuke, merely even he might draw the line at having to revive Krilling over again and once more and once more.

six Can You lot Believe They Ruined It?

leragecomics

My inner child is screaming just reading this. If Dragon Ball has one major flaw, information technology's the filler and the way episode titles are handled. How many of you know the pain of sitting through an edge-of-your seat sweet godlike battle betwixt Goku and some big bad only for the teaser to allude to the resolution next week? Or some other spoiler? Information technology's enough to make you put a Kamehameha through the television receiver. The reason for this is articulate enough; the producers desire to make sure y'all'll tune in next week and so they put upwardly a clickbait title. How terrible is that? I mean, to lure readers and viewers in with clickbait titles should be a crime punishable by Spirit Bomb.
