Its normarl to have some kind of reference when making something like an anime... and in 1997 what better influence than DB i actually dont consider them to be as spot on the same as you do.. besides DB was inspired by the Chinese folk novel Journey to the West. in my opinion you're making a big deal out of nothing..
