And he does it right in the last arc that we could see in the Dragon Ball Super anime.
Dragon Ball is one of the most important franchises today, although many of us end up forgetting about it. Not only has it given us some of the best anime in history, but we have also received great video games and the most successful movies. Even so, this work by Akira Toriyama is not perfect in every sense of the wordand it is that the author has confirmed several times that he has not always been satisfied with different things, most of them related to the version for the small screenAnd that is what we are going to talk about today.
As reported by Screen Rant, Akira Toriyama himself admitted quite some time ago, in an interview with WIRED Japan, that he didn’t particularly like the anime’s portrayal of Goku, the protagonist of this franchise. As he explained, the original focus of this character was that of a person who only seeks to fight against increasingly stronger rivals, in order to strengthen himself. Unfortunately, in the anime he had a personality more like that of a charitable hero.
Luckily, the anime seems to have rectified this problem later in Dragon Ball Super, specifically in the arc of the multiversal tournament. In this one, in case you are not able to remember what happened, Goku made this mentioned tournament take place, but he did it only thinking of being able to get stronger fighting against incredible rivals, ending up endangering his universe and many more. .
Two Goku similar, but not the same
We can enter to discuss Which of the two versions of the character do we like more?but the truth is that the logical thing is that in both media we have the same characters, not only in appearance or the things that happen to them, but also in their personality.
We will all agree that in Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z Goku is more of a hero who saves the world than a fighter who seeks to get stronger with each fight. Luckily, and as we have already told you, this was solved in Dragon Ball Super.
