For me it's Dragon Ball Z, that was a pretty fucked up show tbh.
Like holy shit, all the characters are terrible people except maybe Gohan and Trunks.

Soooooo much shit I enjoyed as a kid had a plot where a dude 'wins' a woman as a prize for completing the hero's journey, and I genuinely think it messed up the entire millennial generation
Completely agree, this messaging that you get a woman as a treat for good behavior is the basis of the Nice Guys beliefs system.
That plus romcoms teaching people that its actually cool to be an asshole if someone rejects you.

That was one of the main points on Anita Sarkisian's Tropes Vs Women in Video Games, how women are usually represented as the trophy to be won by the male playable character.
And internet misogynists spent decades screaming into the void because she pointed this out.
