Well... That is kind of justified being that Kishimoto&#39;s biggest inspiration IS Toriyama, as he said himself in his &quot;interview with the artists&quot; in the manga. Dragonball on its own was bad because it was alot of the same stuff over and over again, &quot;Ohh look at me I have to train in the other world... Oh damn another uber godlike dude is coming to blow up the earth, save me&#33; wish me back witht he dragonballs&#33;&quot; that routine kinda got old after awhile.. But at face value (God help me for saying this), it wasn&#39;t that bad..

Naruto runs into the fact that it takes on several traits from Dragonball... Kyuubi mode Naruto = Super Saiyan Naruto... same thing effectively, only Kishimoto justifies the jump in power a whole lot more than Toriyama did with the Saiyans just kind of having the power.

All in all, we&#39;re going to see alot of similar traits from Dragonball in Naruto, but as long as the storyline continues to develop like it is, I dont&#39; see a problem with Naruto going in that direction.

Go for it, have fun&#33; </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>
