There are a number of metaphors of the journey being the destination. Two examples are when Goku dies and has to run the 1 million km road above hell to meet his next trainer, doesn’t need any water/food/sleep since already dead, the challenge is pushing harder and harder, and that itself is the training. Similarly with the legendary Z sword, Gohan training to pull it out, as well as training to use the stupidly heavy thing, was the reward itself. It turned out the sword was just a dumb very heavy sword. Goku and friends battle intergalactic evil in the greatest action-adventure-fantasy-comedy-fighting series ever! Dragon Ball ain't deep, dark, or even that well written, but it's full of heart, passion, and love. My love of manga as a medium is much to do to how personal it feels.. It's a single creator building and it's always something that feels special. From Horimiya to Bleach. From Ayako to Mob Physco, it always feels special. Dragon Ball is no different. Sure it's a battle manga about collecting McGuffins but it never feels like anything else. It's wild and I love it, and while I can't reasonably give it more then a 3.5 because it has some real storytelling issues, Dragon Ball is just special. This weekend I binged through the whole series again, up until the new Dragon Ball Super books that I’m excited to get into now.

Selected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge.Also it was a great scene funny and feel good scene where Hercule takes credit for the victory over Cell, befriends the nice Buu, and through this he is actually the one that helps defeat evil Buu by asking his fans to hold up their arms after Goku and Vegeta fail to get any response on their same request. And to me, a special and personal art, not a corporate piece of entertainment, is worth reading regardless of quality. Dragon Ball's solid, not perfect. The art is great, the fights are awesome and the characters are genuine and humorous.

Dragon Ball Z Complete Box Set By Akira Toriyama | New - Wob

Dragon Ball is Akira Toriyama's first venture into the adventures of Goku and friends, and it's magical albeit a little rough. It definitely doesn't hold up to 2021 social standards in terms of sexualization and while it does feature many fun female characters like Chi Chi, Bulma, Lunch, and the Crone, it is still an important point for those who don't enjoy reading material that doesn't quite hold up in that regard. But for me, that doesn't take away from what makes it great.

Summary

There’s so many nice memories in these stories. So much intensity, struggle, and progression. The philosophy scattered in is really great too, such as an Android being the one that snaps Gohan into harnessing his emotion.
