"Dragon Ball" has been cited as inspiration across various different media. "Dragon Ball" is credited with setting trends for popular shōnen manga and anime since the 1980s, with manga critic Jason Thompson in 2011 calling it "by far the most influential shōnen manga of the last 30 years." Successful shōnen manga authors such as Eiichiro Oda ("One Piece"), Masashi Kishimoto ("Naruto"), Tite Kubo ("Bleach"), Hiro Mashima ("Fairy Tail") and Kentaro Yabuki ("Black Cat") have cited "Dragon Ball" as an influence on their own now popular works. According to Thompson, "almost every "Shonen Jump" artist lists it as one of their favorites and lifts from it in various ways."
