About The Dao of Dragonball
The Dao of Dragon Ball Book Cover
The Dao of Dragonball Blog is written by Derek Padula, author of The Dao of Dragonball book.
This blog is the accompaniment to The Dao of Dragonball book, and tries to look at things from a higher level, rather than a discussion of trivia. I cover the history, philosophy, spirituality, martial arts, sociological effect and metaphysical aspects of the Dragon Ball series that no other site discusses. This is the place to find all of the higher level concepts and theories about DBZ.
Hopefully this Dragon Ball site will be thought provoking and cause you to think a bit more about Dragon Ball’s inner meaning and value.
Please contact me with any questions and subscribe now to the RSS feed for instant updates on new content. Thanks, and enjoy the site!

Derek has been a fan of Dragonball since the first two seasons of Dragonball Z aired on television in America nearly a decade ago (1997), and has been watching the anime and reading the manga ever since. While focusing on Asian Studies at school he saw a lot of correlations between Buddhism, Daoism, and Japanese culture within Dragonball and his daily life. This led him to write The Dao of Dragon Ball.
