Actually, DBZ first aired in 1989. It is a continuation of the old series Dragon Ball which first aired in 86. Pokemon was way after, and DBZ was always just a big TV series in Japan. They didn't really become cards until later on when big companies like FUNimation wanted to cash in on this fat heffer of a cow and make video games, card games, etc etc.
Sure, though, in Japan it was HUUUUGE. They had backpacks, watches, clocks, shirts, candy, pencils, video games, all that jazz.
Gothen Reviewed by Gothen on . Who is better... One night after getting really stoned me and 3 other friends had a very long conversation on who from DBZ is better. I dont watch Dbz now but we all used to watch it a few years ago. First off i must say i think Vegeta was by far the coolest from all the Dbz characters. Second Trunks thats all i can say. Rating: 5
