Can it get any better than this?! The subtleties of ‘man versus himself’ are on full display within this saga. It is here where we finally understand what the story has been relating to us all along. Whether it’s a first-time encounter with Dragon Ball or a re-watch or re-read—we understand!
– Amazon Reviewer
Derek Padula’s brilliant Dragon Ball Culture books are well-researched and written in a formal but still accessible manner, providing insight on the culture, themes, and history that influenced the story and world of Dragon Ball. Mr. Padula’s books are excellent pieces for any Dragon Ball fan looking to dig deeper into the essence of the franchise, and I highly recommend them.
