Dragon Ball is one of the biggest franchises in anime, but it is far from the only icon on air these days. One Piece remains one of the industry’s strongest titles as Eiichiro Oda brought Luffy to television decades ago. For the most part, the shows live their best lives away from each other, but fandom spats have put Luffy and Goku on crash courses before. And now, a controversial Kamehameha callout has pitted the pair against one another once more.

And what could that be? Well, the issue comes down to their signature moves. One fan went viral after suggest Luffy’s new Red Roc is now more iconic than Goku and his Kamehameha… and that claim got netizens heated.

You can find just a slew of reactions to the argument below if you’re curious. While Luffy’s Red Roc certainly impressed Kaido and Big Mom on Wano, the technique doesn’t have the history of Goku’s Kamehameha. In the years since its debut, Goku has become synonymous with the move, and even the most novice anime fans know what the attack does. The same cannot be said for Red Roc as One Piece remains a smaller series globally than Dragon Ball. But when it comes to the fans, well – some Luffy stans are not ready to reason out the debate.
