Placement in book: Part 1 - Section 2: Son Goku

Main points...

 

  • Japanese and Chinese culture is the lifeblood of Dragonball.
    • Politics, spirituality, religion, and martial arts produce an abundance of cultural references through Dragonball's manga and anime stories.
  • The Japanese language in particular is filled with symbolism.
    • Goku's name, "Son Goku", may seem ordinary at first, but it's underlying context is rich with spirituality and metaphysical thought.
  • How exactly do name's play a part in Asian culture, and how does this play into the naming conventions of Dragonball?
