Dragon Ball in Yu-Gi-Oh?
I bought a copy of Viz's Shonen Jump Yu-Gi-Oh! volume one a little while ago, and I noticed a few...strange things in there:

Sorry about the size of the picture, but in the main panel, Yugi says "Whoever solves this puzzle shall be granted one wish." "You know what I mean?" "Like the Dragon balls!"

A Z TV? Isn't that the same TV company that broadcasts the Cell games? O___O;;

And even the guy's (a producer of Z TV programs) hat! It's a pretty similar 'Z' to the one used in Dragon ball.
I'm not sure wether anyone has the Japanese edition, and can tell me if there things are all in the original. I expected that if it were Shonen Jump's advertising, they'd have put something like: Yugi sez: Buy all the Dragon Ball Graphic novels!! You can't be a duelist without them!! or something similar
So, is Takahashi-Sensei a fan of Dragon Ball? I noticed that there has been no artwork from him in the Dragon Ball Kanzenban....
EDIT: 'Chonen' Jump? WTF? >_> <_<

Yes Takahashi-sensei is a fan of DB. He says so in the interview he does in a later issue of Shonen Jump. Whether or not the "Z TV" thing was a nod or not, I have no idea. As to the "one wish", the idea of finding or accomplishing something in order to be granted wishes is nothing really new, it's always been in folklore. Don't forget that Toriyama himself, was inspired by Chinese mythology when he created DB.

The last picture seems to link to your Cosmo avatar.
Yeah, the first one is an obvious connection with DBZ, (although it's hard to read the text that says it, but I do own the SJ so I know what you're talking about) and if the second one is, it's at least a lot harder to find, so congratulations on that. Even though it might be a coincidence...

Well, if there is one DB reference it stands that logically there might be more, so it probably is.
