Placement in book: Part 1 - Section 2: Son Goku
Main points...
- Japanese obsession with comic book super heroes goes back almost as far as the American's, and is just as rich and diverse.
- Atomic Bombs and the aftermath of WWII led to self analysis of the cost of conflict and extreme resolutions, and man's role in-between. How is a man affected who survives such a thing?
- Supermans abilities and angelic origins are used, perhaps in part, as the role model for Son Goku.
- A look at a different philosophical mindset in an attempt to connect the two, beyond superficialities.
- How big a role does race really play in Dragonball? The Saiya-jins appear to be the ultimate race, but why does it seem that way, and how are the other races affected by their presence?
- What is it that really defines a 'Super Man'?
