Dragon Ball Goes Viral as Fans Debate the Legacy of Dragon Ball Z Abridged
Think About It
prevnextIt's not really wrong though. Sure, Dragon Ball will forever be popular. But to say that DBZA played zero role in keeping any interest, or perhaps even getting younger viewers into the series seems dumb. It's like how I would literally give no fucks about Yu-Gi-Oh without TGOTAS. https://t.co/RidlN5bCA9

They're Right
prevnextHe is right
Annoyance with overuse of memes and jokes aside, not everyone was picking up the video games. DBZA was one of the most tightly edited and scripted abridged series at the time and was able to leverage it with creating memes that last in the collective conscious https://t.co/44eTggpIf6

Excuse Us?
prevnextso wait, why were people mad about Totally Not Mark very accurately stating how important Team Four Star was for keeping Dragon Ball conversation alive
(I don't actually wanna know, y'all are just wrong and being a pain in the ass, DBZA was good for the fandom)

What people are hearing and saying: "BRO THIS FOOL THINKS DBZA SAVED DRAGON BALL LMAOOOOO GARBAGE TAKE" https://t.co/f9qtIMXFhd

Say It Louder
prevnexthe is literally right though
maybe I wouldn't say "nearly as popular" but DBZA did contribute HEAVY to keeping DB alive, at least in the late 2000s and 2010s https://t.co/3PqtXzsavj

Well Played
prevnextdbza was great. a well-done parody that DID help give db fans some food when there was hardly any official content to consume at the time
i just wish 95% of dbza fans weren't so horrid lmao, but them being stupid isn't tfs' fault

Give It Respect
prev"DBZA isn't a reason why Dragon Ball is still popular"
Statistically, at this moment, not a single minute in the day goes by where a single episode of DBZA isn't being watched by somebody. The series probably wouldn't be dead without it, but this isn't nothing. pic.twitter.com/CUIFB4UcU2
