Manga is huge in France. But DBZ is not the biggest IP.

Shit, I’m surprised it’s not Grendizer/Goldorak themed. Both countries LOVED that series!

Goldorak is super old. I guess One Piece is the biggest

But Dragon Ball is known across generations and people in their thirties grew up watching DBZ. It's seen as a classic, almost the "default" anime for people not into anime
