User blog comment:MTP97/Sonic and DBZ/@comment-3027069-20130424194541

Bit surprised that I'm the first one to comment on this blog.

Anyway, yes many people keep saying that the Dragonball series and the Sonic series have many similarities. This is actually true, but I cannot say that the developers of Sonic based these similarities on the DB. These things (spiky hair, power up forms, overbearing love interest) are coomon in many manga, anime, comics and even TV series. They are even common in video games (I've lost track of how many forms Mario has).

Thus it does not surprise me that the Sonic series has these common story elements. I await part 2 with great eagerness.
