What was the point of making a new series/title?

Discussion, generally of an in-universe nature, regarding any aspect of the franchise (including movies, spin-offs, etc.) such as: techniques, character relationships, internal back-history, its universe, and more.

It's called "Super Tension". All the playable characters in Dragon Quest 8 can pull it off, but for some reason the Hero is the only one with the Super Saiyan-like qualities. I think it was rather a cool nod to Dragon Ball, but hey Toriyama's designs always bear striking similarities & that's what makes them so definitive.

From a very similar thread in this category. I'll quote someone whom I highly agree with.

It makes sense, but is still a little silly IMO. Mr. Toriyama, or whoever put that Z there, should've just left it alone and kept the series title as Dragon Ball.
