Hi, I'm Zephyr. I enjoy viewing my favorite art against the background of its real world context. In the case of Dragon Ball, that context often involves intersections between history, language, religion, and philosophy. Kanzenshuu, Dragon Ball Dissection, The Dao of Dragon Ball, and the Wuxia Thread are all partially to blame for showing me just how much real world context there is to explore.
So far I've only really made these two pages, fruits of going ever deeper down the "real world context" rabbit hole. Both are far from complete, and I invite anybody with additional knowledge and information to refine and build upon what I've started:
- still need to link every named chapter and episode of Dr. Slump and Dragon Ball to their corresponding pages
- over time plan to properly acquire actual physical primary and secondary material pertaining to Part I, to minimize reliance on second hand sources like Wikipedia, blog posts, and YouTube videos
- probably a ton more behind-the-scenes production info worth adding, especially in Parts IV, V, and VI
- Dragon Ball Heroes and related content is still largely absent
Japanese & Chinese Glossary of Dragon Ball, Mystical, and Martial Terminology
- some names and terms may not yet cohere to our style guidelines
- still missing a ton of names and terms
- could probably use some TLC from someone way more knowledgeable about Japanese
