It's one of the most beloved anime franchises in the world.

New story: Dragon Ball Super: Broly was released in cinemas across the US on Wednesday... as the return of the villainous Saiyan warrior continued to bolster the pop culture phenomenon

In the new drama, a deadly power awakens within the character as he goes up against heroes Goku and Vegeta in a quest for revenge. 

The Saiyan with an evil streak has been one of the series' main adversaries, but the version of him that appears in the Super film is a reworked iteration of the character.

Dragon Ball may be a Japanese-born anime, but the series has had a major pop culture influence for decades all around the world.

Rappers sprinkle references in their rhymes, athletes channel the character's super powers when making big plays, and the franchise's star even made a towering appearance at November's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

The franchise spans video games, six animated spinoffs and more than 500 TV episodes, all starting in 1984 when Akira Toriyama created the best-selling manga series, also known as a Japanese comic book.

De'Aaron Fox, a 21-year-old Sacramento Kings guard who owns a pair of Dragon Ball Z-themed basketball shoes, said: 'I've been a fan for so long, and I know a lot of others are too. It's like a cult following.'

Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen and Golden State Warriors player Jordan Bell are also fans of the anime who have worn custom Dragon Ball-themed shoes in games in the past.

The franchise stars Goku, an alien who lands on Earth as a child and trains in martial arts through his adulthood, venturing across the globe to find seven orbs, known as Dragon Balls. 

He and other human-looking aliens, known as Saiyans, occasionally transform into Super Saiyans with enormous power that unleashes a glowing aura and random arcs of electricity around them. The transformation turns their black spikey hair blonde.

Fox continued: 'Dragon Ball really made an imprint on the world, particularly in entertainment. You hear so many references in songs, mostly from hip-hop and rap. Athletes are coming out as fans as well. Like People are saying they want to become like Goku. It's a big deal.'

Its crossover appeal was evident during the Macy's Thanksgiving parade , when a 56-foot-tall, 70-foot-long Goku balloon floated above Manhattan, making the front page of The New York Times.

Many have followed 'Dragon Ball' since they were kids, and the more famous fans incorporated it into their work, too. 

Chris Brown has posted an image on social media of a Dragon Ball tattooed on his leg and Goku's face painted on a red Lamborghini, while Chance the Rapper has mentioned the anime in two songs. 

Before a wrestling match, Ronda Rousey wore a shirt with her favorite character and 'cartoon crush' Vegeta, the prince of the Saiyans who is an ally of Goku.

The Super Saiyan form is also popular in the hip-hop community. Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonzo Ball along with Big Sean, Lil Uzi Vert, The Weeknd and Childish Gambino has rapped about achieving Super Saiyan status in their songs.

After Cleveland Browns tight end Darren Fells scored a touchdown against the Oakland Raiders this season, he and David Njoku performed the fusion dance . In the anime, the fusion dance merges two or more bodies together to form a powerful entity.

The self-professed Dragon Ball experts practised  the dance during training camp on HBO's Hard Knocks.

'We worked on it in camp and we do it here and there in practice,' Njoku said. 'If I score or he scores, we'll do it. We put it all together in the Raiders game.'

When Fox reaches a higher level on the basketball court, he uses the phrase to compliment himself, as he said: 'When I'm ballin' like crazy on the court, they say I'm going Super Saiyan.'

While artist Jake Merten has also created several murals dedicated to Dragon Ball characters in several cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, Kansas City and Denver and plans to create a new one to celebrate Dragon Ball: Broly this week in LA.

'As a kid, I liked the good-versus-evil story, but I was drawn in through the different aesthetics that were used,' said Merten, 30. 'It was completely different than American cartoons. Even as a child, I appreciated the art direction and the way the TV show took on a different form than other cartoons, animes or movies.'

Sean Schemmel, who has voiced Goku in the English version since 1999, said Dragon Ball stacks up better than other anime.

He admitted: 'I believe a hundred years from now, there will be no anime bigger than Dragon Ball. There's a bunch of anime coming out of Japan, and we work on a lot of them. 

'But in terms of the epic scope, and the crossover mass appeal, it's going to be hard to beat Dragon Ball. It's a special show that inspires those who don't have a voice.' 

Dragon Ball Super: Broly is also set for release in the UK and Ireland through Manga UK on January 23, 2019.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
