Well, the same guy who made the Little Saiyalings online comic strip gives Goku a cameo appearance in his (or is it her?) new online comic Life on Forbez in one of the earlier releases.

There was some arcade game I played once on vacation that had a character that looked exactly like trunks. He was also like the best character on the game.

That's funny. I like that.

Oh, I think I found another reference in Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo tonight. Bobobo was flying around with a golden aura and an aura trail following him behind, like in DB. As far as I know, DB's the only show that has that. Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Well, Bobobo (in that same episode) said something along the lines of "Let's defeat the enemy by staring at him!" or something like that. I found that to be a DBZ anime reference or he could be indicating towards another anime, but I find it a little too coincidental.

In WWE: Smackdown Vs Raw 2005, you can wear a scouter in the "Create A Character" mode!

I can't believe I forgot about this!

In Love Hina there's a device used to locate their bird-tutle. It's exactly like the Dragon Radar.

I present: Brak with a scouter.

You can put a scouter on either eye, but not both. Also, you can change the color of the glass to whatever you want.

I can't believe you just did that.

What was I going to say? Oh yeah... last night, I was watching Mike duke it out with VegerotEX.

Man, that was fun. Ol' Mike got his ass handed to him... with a steel chair.

You're one evil bastard Vegerot...
The funny thing is, you can take snapshots of your character, after you've completed him (mine were identical to the avatar, and actually looked like Mike

).

Oh yes, and YOU CAN wear scouters on both eyes.

Well, in my version anyway.

*goes off to set up a Julian, Mike, and Meri Vs. VegerotEX fight*

Yeah, I am just that sad.

Well, I don't know. It's my brother's game, not mine, so I don't know how it works.

Sadder than when I tried to make an Oozaru VegerotEX. I feel for you, man!

There was this one thing I saw a few weeks ago where Bobobo, Don Patch, and Jelly Jiggler fused into some random guy. The characters kept saying "are you serious?!".

Actually, they seem to do that every so often (not that exact fusion, but others as well). In fact, an episode that's coming up in a few weeks has the most badly-drawn fusion of all time.

But I loved that fusion and the "MAJIDE TIME!!!".

From Keroro Gunso/SGT Frog episode 9. It's too big to use the img tags on it.

I haven't noticed anyone mention the reference in R.O.D... So I will!

In the first volume of R.O.D (Read or Die), a scene where Yomiko is trying on different outfits eventually ends with her wearing Goku's signature turtle-gi.

And while I'm at it, I also remember her attacking some kidnappers with several Shonen Jumps.

I found a site that contains a list...

" * In the anime, Excel Saga, Nabeshin teaches Pedro and Sandora to reach a certain powerful afro level, similar to the level of Super Saiyan in Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT. They also must use a technique called the Nabehameha, a direct parody of Muten-RГґshi's Kamehameha.
* In the manga, Eyeshield 21, Yukimitsu performs the TaiyГґ-ken while dressed as Tenshinhan.
* In the OVA, Puni Puni Poemy, Poemi is shown with a collection of dragon balls.
* In the manga, YuGiOh, the main character, Yugi Mutou, relates the Millenium Puzzle's power with wishes granted by the dragon balls. Also, in the anime version, there is a dragon ball shown on a poster.
* In the Sonic the Hedgehog series, Sonic must collect the 7 Chaos Emeralds, similar to the dragon balls. Once collected, Sonic turns into Super Sonic, a transformation similar to that of a Super Saiyan.
* In an episode of Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi, Sasshi fights in a martial arts match while dressed as Bruce Lee, and near the end, transforms to a Super Saiyan and performs the Kamehameha Wave.
* In Masakazu Katsura's manga DNAВІ, the main character can turn into a Super Saiyan-like state, gaining golden hair and the ability to use special abilities. Many people consider this to be a plagiarism of DBZ but it was actually suggested to Katsura by Toriyama himself.
* Dr. Gero looks like Dr. Wily from the mega man series, and they both make robots.
* The great Saiyaman looks just like Protoman.
* In The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Cartoon Network Series, Mandy is shown to eat a Chicken-Ball which makes her transform into a Super-Saiyan.
* In Mystical Ninja, Starring Goemon the Hero, Goemon, after finishing a certain Training, goes to the "Sudden Impact" state, in which his hair grows bigger and its color becomes yellow
* The manga series Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo had many references to Dragon Ball and a one-off chapter making a parody of it. It had Jelly Jiggler (Tokoro Tennosuke) and Don Patch/Poppa Rocks (Don Patch) recreating the first battle between Son Goku and Vegeta respectively, but the order and development is messed up.
* Masashi Kishimoto states in his manga Naruto that he was influenced by Toriyama. Kishimoto included a picture of Arale he drew in elementary school.
* Eiichiro Oda, the author of One Piece, stated in an interview that he was a big fan of Dragon Ball. He stated that it was Toriyama that influenced him and that he holds Dragon Ball in high-esteem. Toriyama is a self-professed fan of One Piece, which he was introduced to by his children.
* In an episode of the Kids Next Door series on Cartoon Network, Number 4 relates his fight with the delightful children from down the lane to Goku's fight with Frieza in a flashback. "

In the 'Video Girl AI' anime, Yota is seen reading a manga with Goku's face on the cover.

It took me some time, but I got a scan of Chouzu in Naruto. They took it out of the anime though for some reason.

Not to mention the Sun Wukong mask below him.

The Ginyu Force and Great Saiyaman have a lot in common with the Super Sentai and Power Rangers. Hmmm... Especially the Ginyu Force.
