The Dragon World (ドラゴンワールド; doragon wārudo) is a fictional location in which the Dragon Ball series takes place. It was designed by author Akira Toriyama to be easy for both himself and his readers to understand.[1]
Overview
Fundamentally, the Dragon World is a large sphere, which can be thought of as a "macrocosm". The top half of the sphere is the afterlife, and the bottom half is split between the regular universe and the Demon Realm. The Kaiōshin live in their own separate realm outside of the macrocosm, which revolves around the rest of the macrocosm like a moon. None of this is apparent in the manga series itself, but Akira Toriyama later drew the Dragon World map as a reference for the animation staff.[2] Toriyama later revised the map, adding in the Kaiōshin Realm, for its inclusion in Daizenshuu 4.[2]
The Living World
The living world (この世; kono-yo) makes up the lower half of the Dragon World. It is split into two dimensions, described as being like the two sides of a coin. The top half is the universe, overseen by the Kaiō and Kaiōshin, and the bottom half is the Demon Realm, overseen by the evil Makaiō and Makaiōshin.
The Universe
The universe (宇宙; uchū) is the upper portion of the living world, and is the realm where Goku and the other main characters live and die. It is the only portion of the Dragon World that even remotely resembles reality. As such it consists of countless planets, stars, and other celestial bodies.
