Dragon Ball doesn't have a running anime since Super ended in 2018 and while that is going to change with Daima's release in October, fans still want to see the Moro and Granolah arcs adapted. They were part of the Super manga and fans in general have a positive view of them, although a person on X recently claimed that Goku's fight with Moro "isn't going to break the internet".

Some of the reasons were the poor animation quality by Toei Animation or that this fight doesn't have the hype of Gojo vs. Sukuna in Jujutsu Kaisen or even Ichigo vs. Yhwach in Bleach, both of which are eventually going to be adapted in the coming years.

However, Dragon Ball debunked these arguments fairly easily and makes a lot of sense when considering the juggernaut of this franchise and the track record that it has in recent years, even without an anime.

The notion that Goku vs. Moro is not going to break the internet is easy to debunk when considering that this franchise continues to be one of the most profitable in the anime industry even without a running series at the moment.

There have been only two movies, Broly and Super Hero, since Super ended in 2018 and the franchise continues to be a commercial and social media juggernaut to this very day.

Furthermore, there is a statement in the video claiming that Bleach's Ichigo vs. Yhwach battle is going to break the internet because that series is part of the Big Three, alongside Naruto and One Piece.

While it is likely that Bleach's fight is going to have a huge impact all over the internet, Dragon Ball is one of the few anime that can go beyond fans of the medium, as shown during the screenings in public places in Latin America during the Tournament of Power arc in Super.

There is also the perception that Goku vs. Moro already happened in the manga, so is not going to have an impact because people will see it coming.

While some people might see it coming, one only has to look at the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen to see how adapting moments that already happened in the manga can still be monumental hits worldwide because a lot of fans are anime-onlies.

There is no denying that Dragon Ball continues to be one of the most popular anime all over the world and one of the most valuable franchises in Toei's catalog. Therefore, it is not crazy to assume that the Goku vs. Moro fight is going to break the internet, especially considering how it features the main character reaching Ultra Instinct yet again.

Moro is also a villain who managed to captivate a lot of fans because he didn't rely on raw strength during most of the arc.

That is something that added a special element to this storyline, especially considering how he connects to the magic realm of the series, which is a concept that fans always wanted to see more of.

"the best part about these kinda posts is taht they keep saying this yet db keeps breaking records. No anime, no promotions, db really needs nothing to beat nearly everyone else's a... "db is washed" > db easily breaks internet is a pattern at this point," someone said.

"'Muscular dudes punching each other' that's literally all the other fights except they're not muscular lmao," another person said.

"'I'm telling the truth' Proceeds to lie: (Just look that how that guy is oversimplifying it by saying it 'muscular guys fighting'" someone else said.

Dragon Ball is going to continue to have an impact worldwide, even if the series has had issues such as the lack of marketing for the Daima anime. It is a clear example of the franchise's worldwide reach.
