In both series: - a boy and a girl need to catch/save monsters (in Flint the time detective, Flint will help the main boy and girl character) - need to travel to a different world to do so - get help from a weirdo, but funny professor - the bad guys exist out of a bossy leader who can be angry quickly and two helpers.

Flint and Goku are very alike, although a lot more similar to OG Dragon Ball, a fan of Flint the Time Detective (Jikuu Tantei Genshi-kun) will likely also enjoy DB in all it's many iterations. They both have a strange over powered main character with a similar look, demeanour & design. They both also have great world building with lots of varied and quirky designs.

Both lighthearted "Monster Battler" kids anime! Both have similar tones and morality, getting higher stakes and more serious towards the latter half of the series.

In both, little monsters are kidnapped by the villains and turned into evil. They grow into a big, powerful monster then. The main character(s) have to purify the monster and take it back. Also the villain is a woman who think she's beautiful together with some male henchmen. Michel is more serious than Flint, since Flint has more humor in it.
