Dragon Ball Z has been around since 1989, and while it may have only spanned 291 episodes across 7 years, its legion of fans is unparalleled. Every child knows how it feels to wait for the clock to strike at 5 p.m. to finally get to watch some action.
A brief 20-ish minute episode had us all stuck to the TV screens, and every child has felt the pangs of time eluding us, when, in the episode, just as we reach the climax, the narrator chimes in with the oh-so dreadful "To Be Continued..."
Dragon Ball Z follows Son Goku as he and his friends try to save the Earth as villains, including aliens, androids, and magical beings, consistently endanger it. Simultaneously, the show follows Goku's son, Gohan. To this day, Goku is most beloved for how pure his heart is. He fought valiantly, many a time, to help the weak, instilling love in the hearts of many who watched the show.

1) When you get the game mechanics
Goku looking at Frieza the way a hunter looks at his prey is how we feel when we finally understand the mechanics of the game and are ready to win.

Goku overpowering Cooler is the inspiration we need for all curious on-lookers swiping right on my phone.

While these twelve memes may not be so funny to the unversed, only the OG's will be able to relate to it. Suffice it to say, the impact Dragon Ball Z had on children of the '90s and '00s is unmatched.
