Rewatched teh south park movie last night, was this ever confirmed to be an intentional DBZ reference??
Why does it have to be confirmed? It's pretty obvious
I thought Matt and Trey hated kids' animu?
>Transformed At Last aired on Toonami October 1999>South Park the Movie came out June 1999I doubt Matt and Trey even knew what DBZ was, let alone knew they were parodying it
Dragon Ball invented electric powers
>>155575086>Transformed At Last aired on Toonami October 1999DB had people with electric auras a lot further back (I recall Nappa but there may have been earlier) and pretty sure the show has aired elsewhere a lot earlier. Powerpuff Girls of all things had a Dragonball fight episode (the one where they fight Princess?) and I'm sure that came out before DBZ ever aired on Toonami.
>>155575086Considering Trey Parker's Japanese background, I wouldn't be surprised if he watched it before it aired on Toonami. It wasn't hard to see later episodes of DBZ on VHS fansubs or on local Asian TV stations either.
>>155575338I remember watching Super Saiyan Goku fighting Freeza before it aired here on one of those stations. Was interesting too because it was my first time hearing the original soundtrack.
>>155575290The only way people could watch DB in the US at the time was through cable Matt and Trey really dont seem like they know what DBZ is, especially back in the 90’s
It clearly is, retard
