Dragon Ball y la filosofía : Fuerza, poder y destino en la construcción del héroe

This comprehensive and insightful essay explores the cosmogony of Dragon Ball, illustrating how history, nature, technology, and human existence have been expressed within the pages of the most influential manga of all time, transforming it into a beloved series for children across the globe. A boy who lives alone in the mountains, unharmed by any known weapon. An alien sent to Earth to exterminate humanity and conquer the planet. The last bulwark against lethal attacks from distant worlds, dystopian futures, and alternate dimensions. Goku has been all of this, and more. From its clear echoes of the original Superman to the cult phenomenon it has become in recent years, Dragon Ball, Akira Toriyama's most celebrated work, has traversed distinct phases, each elevating the protagonist, his allies, and his adversaries to new levels of power. What has never changed is the feeling of compassion and respect for life that emanates from her, as well as the desire for self-improvement (and even defiance of the gods) that she has instilled in her millions of followers.
