Toriyama Encourages Living Like Goku
Goku is a curious young man who wants to know about the surroundings from the very start. Slightly easily entertained, Goku would frequently delight himself participating in even the most basic activities. Growing older, Goku came to value rivalry since he saw how it may spur on his development. Still, he never lost his young enthusiasm; he was usually bursting with energy at the idea of facing a strong opponent. Arguably among Goku's most identifiable qualities are his power and vigor; they show up in his character as that eagerness.
Even among other Shonen heroes, Goku's excitement is somewhat unusual. It's also a result of his character developing from a child; if the narrative began with Goku as an adult, he might not have been as enthusiastic. There is always something fresh to learn, new levels to reach, and new powers to uncover for Goku; his enthusiasm is practically contagious and permeates the audience as well. This also shapes his careless attitude since he can ignore even serious worries if there is a chance for development somewhere in there.
Still Powerful Decades Later: Akira Toriyama's Last Quote Before Dragon Ball's End
Although Dragon Ball closed almost thirty years ago, Akira Toriyama's farewell at the story's conclusion provides some really wise life lessons when you consider them. Although there are many qualities of Goku one should not copy, Toriyama notes the one quality everyone may profit from: a passion for life.
A thank you note penned personally by Akira Toriyama is attached with the last book of Dragon Ball. Mostly it reflects what one would expect, with a thanks for reading and a hint that Toriyama should start fresh projects and difficulties. But drawn below the phrase is Toriyama's avatar character, Toribot, who says "Tackle life with as much energy as Goku! I'll try to follow through as well." For everyone who knows Goku as a character, it is quite moving as, from the first chapter to the last, he confronted all with vitality and excitement, even his toughest obstacles.
legacy of Dragon Ball
Dragon Ball is a huge multimedia series spanning back to the 1980s from the creative mind of Akira Toriyama. Originally serialized manga for Weekly Shonen Jump in Japan, Dragon Ball grew rapidly. It found its way abroad via a manga and an anime version enjoyed all around. Originally commencing with the exploits of the young Son Goku as he pursued the Dragon Balls, Dragon Ball was the first animated series. Any person who gathered these enchanted balls would be granted their wish. The show would then veer off into the wildly popular Dragon Ball Z, which followed Goku as an adult and had high-intensity combat and Goku's never-ending drive to be the strongest. Up to the most recent successful Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, the series has also had multiple popular video game adaptations and still running several new animated series and theatrical movies.
The road Goku has been on has been long and fruitful. Originally a tiny child looking for the dragon balls, he soon discovered he was confronting fresh difficulties trying his character and strength. Audiences were enthralled by his development and will, which helped him to become of the most well-liked anime characters of all times. Many of his supporters have a particular place in their hearts; his legacy will still shape next generations.
Parting Message of Toriyama
According to Toriyama's remarks, everyone should approach their life the way Goku did: with passion and delight, enjoying even in those times when the obstacle seems insurmount. Most of the worries of life are, after all, transient. The good times will return, and these trying circumstances can help you to grow into a better, stronger person. Since Goku has been so near to death on so many times, his power is partially the result of that; hence, if Goku can face that down and still view life with excitement, then definitely fans can too.
Not only in the field of shonen manga, but there are undoubtedly many worse role models one could base their perspective on than Goku. Though everyone would be jealous of Goku's love for his life, fans can always aim to live like he does, confronting every moment with joy and fervor. Toriyama's remark is maybe the most appropriate farewell words for Dragon Ball enthusiasts since everyone may relate to be somewhat more like their heroes.
