The characters from Dragon Ball fight either with full body effort or energy attacks. But what would it look like if Son-Goku and the others were equipped with weapons? A YouTuber came up with a crazy thought experiment and created images with the help of an AI, in which the Saiyans become operators in Call of Duty.
What do the characters look like? The YouTuber created a total of 20 different images with the AI. In them, we see the familiar characters from Dragon Ball, whose design comes from mangaka Akira Toriyama.
But instead of their usual tracksuits, the Dragon Ball characters wear chest armor and submachine guns. Many characters have the lettering “Call of Duty” on their equipment. Even Piccolo and Vegeta are depicted as CoD operators. At the end of the video, some characters even appear as Super Saiyans.

Shooter competitors like Fortnite have already proven with crossovers with Dragon Ball and Naruto how well anime characters would work in a shooter. In Fortnite, it fits particularly well due to the comic look, but we can also imagine the warriors in Call of Duty.
Is such a crossover likely? So far, there have been many operators in Call of Duty who are more based on “real figures”. These include rappers like Nicki Minaj and Snoop Dogg or well-known soccer players like Neymar. Anime characters have so far left fans waiting in vain. But that could change in the future. Call of Duty seems to be opening up to the anime sector. The title has now announced a collaboration with Gundam, one of the biggest animes ever: Call of Duty is now collaborating with one of the biggest animes – players say: They come back for this
