Un niño que vive solo en las montañas, y que es imposible de herir con ningún arma conocida. Un alienígena enviado a la Tierra para exterminar a la especie humana y conquistar el planeta. La última barricada contra ataques letales de mundos lejanos, futuros distópicos y dimensiones alternativas.
Goku ha sido todo esto, y más. Desde las evidentes reminiscencias del Superman original hasta el objeto de culto y adoración de los últimos años, Dragon Ball, la obra más célebre de Akira Toriyama, ha atravesado diferentes fases, cada una de las cuales ha permitido elevar al protagonista, a sus aliados y a sus adversarios a nuevos niveles de poder. Lo que nunca ha cambiado es el sentimiento de compasión y de respeto por la vida que de ella emanan, así como el deseo de superación (e incluso de desafío a los dioses) que ha impreso en sus millones de seguidores.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
This comprehensive and insightful essay explores the cosmogony of Dragon Ball, illustrating how history, nature, technology, and human existence have been portrayed in the pages of the most influential manga of all time, ultimately becoming a series beloved by children across the globe.
A boy who lives alone in the mountains, and who cannot be harmed by any known weapon. An alien sent to Earth to exterminate the human race and conquer the planet. The last line of defense against lethal attacks from distant worlds, dystopian futures, and alternate dimensions.
Goku has been all of this, and more. From the obvious echoes of the original Superman to the object of cult worship in recent years, Dragon Ball, Akira Toriyama’s most celebrated work, has gone through different phases, each of which has elevated the protagonist, his allies, and his adversaries to new levels of power. What has never changed is the sense of compassion and respect for life that emanates from it, as well as the desire for self-improvement (and even to challenge the gods) that it has instilled in its millions of followers.
