In Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei there's an episode where the characters do the fusion dance.

There's many more I must have saw and heard, I just can't remember. Dragon Ball is very influential.

....is not a good one to say the least :P
Why does that show get so much hate online? lol. It's just a goofy, cute cartoon.

...unless people are bitter the original Teen Titans ended, and this replaced it. >.>
Because the new head of Cartoon Network wanted shows for his legacy so he killed off shows like Symbionic Titan and Young Justice and replaced them with shows like Teen Titans Go! and Steven Universe. I spent years trying to get that network and in the end the really good stuff was replaced by (IMO) vastly inferior shows...

In chapter 150 of Naruto, on the upper right panel of page 7, Naruto can be seen putting on masks from a mask display behind him. One of the masks looks exactly like Chaozu's face.

Please ignore the site, but here is a lot.

In Adventure Time, Flame Princess pretty much does a fire kamehameha when she fights against the Ice King in one episode.

In the south park movie the Cartman VS. Saddam Hussein fight is very loosely based off Dragon Ball.

Surio Union from Sailor Moon said Ayami's IQ was over 9000 in the Viz re-dub.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Has this been mentioned yet?
An angry Final Fantasy fan wrote: And after all the outrage, when I'm ready, I'll go out on to GameStop and buy a Persona 5 copy. And when my mother finds me investing my precious time trying to bond with this hot anime girl, I'll look straight into her eyes and say "but have you looked at the menu screen? have you actually seen the menu screen? In that very moment, she knows. She fucking knows. As she handles me the nugget pieces she previously cooked for me, she leaves my room with these words: "Persona 5 is the true savior of the JRPG".
