CATDOLL: Japanese media interprets "Dragon Ball" Son Goku's personal charm, kindness, simplicity, and powerful warrior

It should be said that every anime fan must have seen or heard of the name of "Dragon Ball", right? As the most classic masterpiece of Akira Toriyama, this comic has brought many textbook characters. As the protagonist, Son Goku is naturally one of them. In this regard, the Japanese CHARAPEDIA website recently analyzed and interpreted Goku's personal charm.

Pure Power

Among the protagonists of Shonen Jump, we can find many warm-hearted and pure-hearted characters. Son Goku is even more obvious in this respect. In the early days of the work, his weakness was his tail (a really nostalgic setting), but when Master Kame asked him to "train his tail", he honestly trained and really overcame his weakness. Such efforts made Master Kame admire him.

Goku's motivation for fighting is usually "because the opponent is a bad guy, so I have to kill him." However, this is just an appearance. In fact, he purely pursues a strong opponent and wants to become stronger for this. Therefore, he will not use the Dragon Balls as a tool to satisfy his desires. For those of us who are full of troubles, it is not easy to be as simple as Goku. Because of this, Goku's overwhelming purity may attract our attention even more.

“Punishing evil and promoting good” is just a superficial appearance?

At first glance, Goku's battles with the "Red Ribbon Army", "Momo Pai Pai" and even "Tien Shinhan and Jiaozi" in the early stages of the story are a "punishing evil and promoting good" story. However, in the final analysis, Goku just wants to fight a powerful enemy. His anger and sense of justice are very simple, and this simplicity is not because Goku was still a child at the time. Even when he grew up, his attitude did not change. When facing a powerful opponent, Goku's expression is often excited and excited, and it is rare to see him truly hostile or hateful. (The plot where Krillin was killed is a rare example of his feeling hatred)

Is he an unqualified father?

However, when Goku became the father of "Son Gohan", the situation changed a little. Because he was a pure fighting maniac, he didn't pay much attention to other things. During training, even if Gohan was in pain, he would not show any expression. Even Piccolo said he was "cold-blooded".

When Trunks died, even Vegeta was so angry that he forgot himself and fought with Cell. It should be said that Piccolo and Vegeta were both extremely bad characters, but they showed "fatherly love" that surpassed Goku.

Although this setting seems ironic, the protagonist "Sun Wukong" has shortcomings, which makes the work more profound. The so-called genius is that he is inhumane in some places. Perhaps this is the two different levels caused by Wukong's simplicity.
