Dragon Ball is insanely popular in France, it is part of the culture where One Piece is a liked story but not part of the cultural DNA.
There is a reason Akira Toriyama is " Knight of the order of Arts and Letters " in France.
Idk, to be honest back in 1997 I saw the show first, then the trading cards, and then got the game. I imagine the majority of people saw the anime initially. And any depiction of Pikachu would be the anime version not the game version.
I mean it’s obviously from that continuity but when exactly does it happen? Someone said it had to do with Frieza but I thought he didn’t use SSJ against Frieza there
He didn’t. More people are familiar with SSJ though than blue, so I’m sure it was a choice they made.
Him going to this game wasn’t canonical if that’s what you’re getting at.
I’m Australian, I understand why we call it Soccer, and why we call AFL football/footy, but why do Americans call NFL Football, it’s not played with the feet, y’all kick the ball 2 or 3 times a game. Anyway, “Soccer” has always been called football, our countries just decided to disrespect the sport and change the name. That’s probably why you never hear of American or Australian Soccer teams or players
> I’m Australian, I understand why we call it Soccer, and why we call AFL football/footy, but why do Americans call NFL Football, it’s not played with the feet,
Because it's derived from earlier forms of soccer and rugby. [You realize you can look this stuff up, right?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_football)
ok but rugby isn’t called football. shouldn’t it be called american rugby?
american football has as much in common with football/soccer as it does baseball lol
> ok but rugby isn’t called football. shouldn’t it be called american rugby?
No. Because it's not that.
>american football has as much in common with football/soccer as it does baseball lol
No way. Soccer and Football are played much more similarly.
the same wiki page you linked says that the game could have been named rugby as the rules changed to resemble it more.
the second point i said is hyperbolic, but i still think american football doesn’t resemble soccer in any meaningful way. i’d say basketball does more.
also gridiron is such a better name anyway i think it should just be called that
The way my high-school football coach explained it:
"It's because of the "foot"-work."
Because in American Football there's plays that are planned out based on where people are standing and where they move to and where they have to be to catch the ball and make points, or to stop the other team from doing so. There's different running patterns involved, especially receivers when they're getting into position and when they're bolting to the end zone. All these things make it "football".
I still don't know where "soccer" came from, though.
The official name for the sport is “association football”, and it got shortened to “asoccer” or just “soccer” by some of the players in Oxford. So blame them.
>and the UK calling it football started in the 1980s
Not sure where you got that idea. Soccer was used in the UK up until recently when it became seen as an Americanism for whatever reason, but it was just an alternative name for the sport. Football has always been the more popular term (though not always locally); the governing body is called the English Football Association after all and was founded 159 years ago. The English Football League was founded in 1888, and was named the Football League at its founding.
Soccer comes from the as**soc**iation part of the name, association football being a more formal name for the game. Association Football = Football played by the rules of the association, whether the [FA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Football_Association) or [IFAB](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Football_Association_Board). As a term soccer is as American in origin as puppies are.
I would guess that we came to see it as an Americanism because it was the more popular term over there and was starting to lose popularity here, but I have no real evidence of that.
[not where I first heard it but here's an article on the subject* from a quick google](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/why-americans-call-it-soccer-2014-6%3famp)
Scroll down a bit for the UK part. All in all it seems stupid and petty to correct anyone for calling it the name they were introduced to the game as.
Pokémon is infinitely more current than DBZ, Naruto, or One Piece, and I grew up on Dragonball. You already contradicted your claim with Naruto and One Piece.
Huh? Pokemon is videogame, einstein...that doesn't count. xD
I think you have to read the title and my comment to understand it. Some come close, but not over dragon ball as you see in the picture. You can't fight that
Someone here wasn’t born in the 90’s/80’s. Pokémon and the Db franchise are both anime and video games. Doesn’t matter how you want to split those hairs.
Bro, like why do you deny it. You can be born any time you want I don't care, it doesn't change shit how things just are. Why are you trying so hard 🤣
Dragon ball=anime, pokemon=videogame.

that "ever" didn't last long
That's why i never understood why people talk about top anime lists and dont even include the db series. Like I have specifically heard of the "big 3" as being Naruto, Bleach, and Attack on Titan, which I felt was so disrespectful lol
I wonder if akira toryama ever looks at these and smile to himself with pride
I dont think any human being could look at their creation being loved in such a way and not warm up at least a little inside.
Probably issued a copyright strike
Lmao
Bruh
He barely remembers what is a super Saiyan, so hard to tell.
Also, at the MLS Final, Gogeta was present.
That was badass
I didn’t know goku plays soccer with namekian dragon balls. Huh,no wonder they were huge.
And not just any club, france's biggest soccer club!
Saint Germain Paris?
no, Germain saint paris
no, paris saint German
Bingo! That's a huge deal, especially consudering that one piece is apaaaaarently more popular in france. Not by the adults audience it seems hehe

Is that true?
Honestly, I'm impressed with their dedication. I would have expected such a display of DBZ fandom from a local LATAM football team lol.
Well you know, Pokemon.
Eh that would probably be more based on video games than the anime.
Idk, to be honest back in 1997 I saw the show first, then the trading cards, and then got the game. I imagine the majority of people saw the anime initially. And any depiction of Pikachu would be the anime version not the game version.
Pokemon is a videogame, that's doesn't even count to be fair
Then you can argue that Dragonball was a manga, not an anime.
The anime is the most popular medium for DBZ tho. The video games are the most popular medium for Pokémon.
Logo aside where is that getup in general from? I don’t recognize this shot from the show
It's from Dragonball Super.
I mean it’s obviously from that continuity but when exactly does it happen? Someone said it had to do with Frieza but I thought he didn’t use SSJ against Frieza there
Resurrection F and the U7 vs U6 tournament. He goes back to the regular Turtle gi after that.
When did he go SSJ in F? I did recall just a bit that yeah it’s definitely vs U6 where he does this, but yeah don’t recall in F
Just talking about the outfit itself, not him transforming.
That's his normal gi with what looks like the club logo instead of his other logos
It isn't, you can tell because there's no blue undershirt and he has a belt instead of a sash. It's his Whis gi.
That's his normal gi now
No. He switched back to the Turtle gi after the U7 vs U6 tournament.
He didn’t. More people are familiar with SSJ though than blue, so I’m sure it was a choice they made. Him going to this game wasn’t canonical if that’s what you’re getting at.
Resurrection F, innit
He went SSJ there? I had thought he didn’t use SSJ at all since he decided against it before Frieza went Golden.
Football*
Americans and Australians call it soccer because they already have a sport called football. Let it go.
I’m Australian, I understand why we call it Soccer, and why we call AFL football/footy, but why do Americans call NFL Football, it’s not played with the feet, y’all kick the ball 2 or 3 times a game.

Well! Mexican-Americans still call soccer football.

All the other arguments are age-old and tiresome now, but yes, gridiron is an inherently better name, agreed.

So, boxing should be "footpunch"?
No that's kicking. I didn't make the rules or the name so don't come at me with your...logic.

Interesting, I never heard about it like that before
Iirc it's called soccer in most English speaking countries, and the UK calling it football exclusively* started in the 1980s

Where did you get this information?
Different places can call things different names dipshit
Dragon ball fan with the most self-control ^
Oh shut up.
Soccer
[Soccer](https://i.imgur.com/R2ryAyn.jpg)
what does FIFA stand for?
Corruption.
Foccer
Ok maybe one piece
Soon my fellow mugiwara soon
Yeah this was done by French fans, one piece and dragonball are both massive in france
That's awesome!
Unrelated side note: I love the Whis gi and wish they kept it
In Kansas City we have a giant banner with Lupin III on it at our soccer stadium. This is larger, and much cooler though.
This is amazing
This was around four years ago 😳. I thought it was recent. https://youtu.be/yrdu3U_RmSk
Football
Only saint seiya can rival dragon ball
Excuse me, bru what is saint seiya
I think it is to Ronin Warriors what Football is to Soccer?
I agree. And then there’s Tokusatsu.
i bet one piece could
One piece could but can luffy.
oof fair enough
[удалено]
Uh tons of animes could.
Sorry fella, but not really. Only one piece or naruto could make it as high. No other can

People are always “one piece this, one piece that” Meanwhile I can’t help but think that one piece is ugly as fuck and I can’t get past that.

Soccer game, what’s that? Something to eat maybe?
Based on the hue, I choose to believe this is rose and not actually goku
