Kinnikuman (which is ironic since it also starts off as a parody series then becomes it's own thing)

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.

How so? It's not as if it's a parody of DB, it came several years before it, it's an Ultraman parody. If you see any similarities it's because so much is borrowed from it.
If you're not here soon... GET ON!

I know it came became before Dragon Ball and that it's an Ultraman parody.

I think he's saying that it reminds him of Dragon Ball because of the whole "starts off as a parody then becomes it's own thing" part, not that its a parody of Dragon Ball itself.
