Akira Toriyama made Gokū grow 3 years older in Dragon Ball chapter 113 by enacting his first timeskip. His editor was opposed to the idea because shōnen characters were supposed to remain eternal boys. But Toriyama threatened to quit and did it anyway. #DragonBallCultureDaily

To learn more about Tenshinhan's association with light, and how he symbolizes light and emptiness through his martial arts techniques, read Dragon Ball Culture Volume 5. https://t.co/FtFyg8OKuk

@MYmuseyip1995my Let's assume Yamcha has them stored away. I only see 5 pots in the main room.

@ThatRyanMolina Probably inspired by the Kyō-ken (狂犬, “mad dog”)!!”

@rafhael_victor Great question. My vote is for Tenshinhan, but it's complicated and depends on the context and your perspective on East Asian names. I discuss the matter in detail in Dragon Ball Culture Volume 5 and my upcoming Dragon Ball Language.

Goku is the coolest One Piece character.

@shonenjump Goku is the coolest One Piece character.

@MozillaVulpix @OSPyoutube A lot of Dragon Ball fans think the Journey to the West inspiration ended after the first arc, but they're wrong! It inspired the characters, story, techniques + world—from DB into Super. My Dragon Ball Culture books show you HUNDREDS of examples of how JttW inspired Dragon Ball.

@JoeSaiyan13 There are more details about Shenron's design in Dragon Ball Culture Volume 2 that I couldn't include in this image. I wrote an entire chapter about Shenron's cultural origin! https://t.co/4dbXYVjDBe

@ZaNeCuDdEr @shegonsuck I've written several books about Dragon Ball's cultural DNA: https://t.co/lwrCmLU7X4 For an answer to your question of 'how fast DBZ got etched into us as children', I recommend you read Dragon Soul: 30 Years of Dragon Ball Fandom. For a master's degree, read Dragon Ball Culture.
