Life lessons taught in Dragon Ball?

[Kokonoe]

Some animes teach you lessons like the Pokemon anime teaches you about the value of teamwork with a lot of depth and bonding moments there.

Hamtaro teaches you the value of friendship and manners among those around you as well as how to keep friends.

Which lessons do you think Dragon Ball teaches?

[Dragon Ball Ireland]

For me it's mostly been never giving up and striving to reach your goals no matter how impossible they may seem.

[Polyphase Avatron]

If you try hard enough, your enemies can become your friends.

[RandomGuy96]

Don't get too cocky and complacent; no one is infallible and untouchable, and thinking you are and using it as an excuse for carelessness is just setting yourself up for humiliation.

[90sDBZ]

For me it's mostly been never giving up and striving to reach your goals no matter how impossible they may seem.

This for sure, as well as persevering through dark times.

Another thing that doesn't get mentioned as often is the idea that everything happens for a reason. If Pilaf hadn't released Piccolo, Goku would have lost to Raditz and the earth would be doomed. If Goku hadn't died against Raditz he never could have trained with King Kai and gained the strength to fend off the other Saiyans. If Captain Ginyu never stole Goku's body, he'd have had no chance of beating Frieza because he'd never get his Zenkai. If Buu had been beaten by Gotenks or Gohan, Goku and Vegeta would have remained dead for good.

Obviously in real life sometimes terrible things happen and it can be impossible to see any silver lining. But I find it's always beneficial to see things that way in the cases were it is possible.

And also the importance of rest/balance in work and training, with Goku taking downtime and staying ahead of Vegeta who endlessly grinds it out.

No matter how far a goal may be, you can reach it with enough hard work.

No matter how good you are, there's always more you can do to improve yourself.

Don't try to surpass others, try to surpass yourself.

(Biological) Girls don't have a peepee or balls

Uncles are not necessarily good babysitters

Time machines are useless in changing your timeline

If someone gives you candy and not another person with you candy don’t eat it

If your 4 year old is stronger than you at 23, tell your spouse education is useless and people will be big mad if your kid doesn’t live to his potential.

[ABED]

There's always someone better than you out there.
Never stop learning and growing.
Hard work is important, but so is rest.

Goku is just like Trump: grabbing girls on their crotch.

[KBABZ]

Never assume you're the best. If someone's talking the talk, MAYBE they can walk it too. Take every opponent seriously and treat them with respect.

Goku is just like Trump: grabbing girls on their crotch.

That's Roshi actually; Goku grew out of that, unlike the other two.

Which lessons do you think Dragon Ball teaches?

• Do not care about or mention a relative to your family until it is convenient.
• Put others in danger/risk their lives to test their competence.
• Leave your family to live with a stranger (probably for years).
• Commit suicide multiple times (and make sure one of them is in vain).
• Knock your kid unconscious and punch another one in the stomach.
• Let the fate of the Universe in the hands of kids.
• Destroy the moon and expect no consequences to the planet itself.
• Make an individual stare into an hourglass and wait for him get angry enough to kill everyone.
• Close your eyes and refuse see your apprentice losing himself.
• Do something you are not supposed to - get to know you were not supposed to do it - do it again and expect no consequence.
• Get yourself a best friend and expect him to die countless times.
• Let your four-year-old kid fly around the world. Then take them (now as ten years old) to a trip through the Universe.
• Do not see or talk to your friends or family for years.
• Seek revenge no matter how many millennia have passed.
• If you are some sort of "cop", do not arrest anyone comitting such crime. Do not appear where the criminal is at all.
• Even if you are a god, let evildoers do whatever they want in your Universe.

There are certainly more but these are the ones off the top of my head I learned by watching and loving Dragon Ball. Hope it serves an inspiration for someone.

Ask the gods that your son is friends with to communicate to your dead husband that he has a second child on the way and to let them use the Dragon Balls to restore him to life.

[Vijay]

If you try hard enough, your enemies can become your friends.

But in practicality, ur friends turn into foes in matter of seconds. How's that?

I've never considered DB to be Bible or such to educate mankind. Or educate it's viewers. Dat being said, there's some resemblances to real-life events dat resonates with me

Of how Goku being strongest, universally renowned martial artists & Saiyan trained by God's themselves is basically unknown to humans on the very planet he's sacrificed himself countless time to protect...dude never existed to them....however, with enuf publicity & marketing Mr. Satan became Earth's mightiest hero.

But Goku has never allowed that fact to bother him. He does what needs to be done. And he keeps pushing his limits. Which in the eye of others, seems selfish. Then again, there's saying " please everyone & you'll never live a happy life" & Goku as far as I've known has always been a happy guy with pure heart & mind

[It_Is_Ayna_You_Flips]

Never leave an old man alone with a sixteen year old girl.

[SupremeKai25]

Let two people duke it out in the streets because you're not a police officer and it's not your job to intervene.
