Mystical Adventure?
:?

Honestly Dragonball fits the bill perfectly.
It is in his character to be rude and a bit crass. He's a hick, with no formal education. That is Son Goku. That is who he is.

Superman in an orange Gi was the bastard son of FUNimation. Its not The real character, it is as false as Chatku.

I think Dragon Ball is a fine name for it. If I had to rename it, though, I'd just call it something like "The Strongest Way". I dunno.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

The Path to Becoming the Strongest. (saikyō e no michi)

Yes, I know it's the 10th anniversary movie's title, but it works for the series as a whole.

Ah, the Alpha and the Omega. As all life was created from Chaos...so shall it be DESTROYED!!!

The strongest under the Heavens... or perhaps The World's Strongest for short.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

I think "Dragon Ball" fits just fine but if I really had to it would be "The Legend of Son Goku."
