I didn’t get into Dragon Ball until 1994.
I probably saw pics in ads or pics in gaming magazines but I didn’t know anything about it.
Until I went back to live in New York. There was this cat Zat2, he put me onto DBZ.
Then I started watching the movie subs from China Town. And then a year later, they brought DB then DBZ to America. I played the DBZ fighter on Genesis and DBZ 2 on SNES. Part three was crazy because it had SSG3, etc and gave us a peek into the Boo saga. The only real DBZ tv I saw before the dub was the Perfect Cell Games.
We’re talking DB was a huge influence for 2/3 of my life. RIP to Toriyama-SAN. And I’m sure his work will live on. Obviously they refer to Miyazaki as the Japanese Walt Disney. But I guess Toriyama is the Sigel/Shuster of Japanese manga. His Super Heroes are beloved across the globe.
