The village of Konoha is hosting a free-for-all ninja tournament, where the participants fight each other to the best of their skills. As the preliminaries begin and the village turns into a battlefield, Naruto eagerly rushes off for a chance to have a go against Kakashi, and heated match ups abound as people with similar ideas find their opponents of choice. Meanwhile, the less enthusiastic ninjas take it easy. A silly tournament is no reason to miss an afternoon nap or a bowl or a dozen of ramen, after all. Who will collect enough crystals to advance to the main tournament?
Five years have passed since Goku and his friends defeated Piccolo Jr. and restored peace to the planet. Gohan - Goku's son - and a variety of good, bad, and morally ambiguous characters are back, and perpetually not ready for action! Aliens, androids, and magicians all hatch evil plots to destroy the world and it's up to Goku to save the Earth once more - that is, once he and his comrades train plentifully in preparation. Enemies will become friends and power levels will rise to unimaginable levels, but even with the help of the legendary Dragon Balls and Shen Long will it be enough to save Earth from ultimate destruction?
"Dragon Ball" and "Narutimate Hero" are alike because they are both about a never ending tournament of fights with good versus evil, and are filled with action. The characters learn much during the fights: tactics, techniques, and how to deal with anger or fear. Both anime are filled with action, a fighting spirit, and sometimes humour. :)
In the school of Daimon High, martial arts and starting fights are the biggest ways to boosting your grades, which is excellent news for Ryoko Mitsurugi, the school most popular kendo beauty. Her popularity and fame spark an idea for the heads of the schools, K-Fight! -- a system where the best fighters for each school challenge each other to one-one or all out battle royal. However, soon the K-Fights start to draw unwanted interest, some not even of this world.
Neither of these animes needs a reason for violence to break out, it simply does. Real Bout High School is a show built around fighting for status, while Narutimate Hero 3 is just an OVA featuring familiar faces battling for fun, and things are mostly carefree as a result. After all, when you're facing a classmate or a shinobi from your village, there's no real need to risk everything in order to win!
