by Most of the characters in “Dragon Ball” are ghost-experienced people?
Today, July 26th is “Ghost Day.” It is said that it originated in 1825, the day when “Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan” premiered in the Edo period.
In recent years, ghosts have appeared in works of various genres, not just ghost stories. Especially in the fields of anime and manga, it may be a well-drawn existence. Depending on the person, you will remember various ghost characters. Among them, the one I paid attention to this time was “Dragon Ball.”
At first glance, it seems to be a work entirely unrelated to ghosts, but considering that most of the characters are dead, it may be the work with the most characters who have become ghosts. Everything is revived with a dragon ball, and many characters have a ring head that means a spirit.
In particular, the main character, Son Goku, died twice and was revived twice. Some people may disagree with the term ghost, but I think it is the “strongest ghost in history.”
The ghosts in this “Dragon Ball” world were roughly divided into two beings. One is the existence of only a soul that can be called a soul. The shape of an old-fashioned human ghost cannot be identified individually. They were lined up in a line to be judged by the Great Enma. The state after death seems to be this form.
The other is the state of having a physical body. It looks the same as before, except that it has a ring on its head. At this time, the original body seems to be okay in any state, and Vegeta, shattered in the battle with Majin Buu, also appeared regenerated.
However, even if the body can be regenerated, it seems that it is based on the one before life, and the body of Goku, who died in the battle with Raditz, has disappeared from this world because of training in that world. Also, it seems that the state when he died is maintained, and Son Gohan, who was the parent of Goku, appears in front of Goku in a form that seems to have just died.
What should be noted is the advantage of having this body. It was to train my body as I did in my lifetime. Goku was dead and learned not only Super Saiyan 2 but also Super Saiyan 3, who could not reach anyone.
The environment where you can practice forever with a body that never perishes would have been a dream environment for Goku. During his lifetime, Goku talked about the importance of resting during his training in the “Room of Spirit and Time” and gave up on becoming Super Saiyan 2. Still, after he died, he only became Super Saiyan 3. Instead, I also learned new techniques such as fusion. That world may have been a paradise for Goku, who loves training.
Was the behavior pattern the reason why Goku came back to life?
Since Goku died and gave his son Gohan the main character’s position, there are some concerns. It was a behavior that was not like Goku. For Goku, what seems to be the most Goku-like thing is to feel the joy of fighting a strong enemy. And is it the point that you think winning or losing is secondary?
Of course, in a crisis like the battle with his brother Raditz, I would join hands with Piccolo and fight 2 to 1, but in the final battle with Pure Buu, I stuck to 1 to 1 rather than winning or losing. Rice field.
Also, in the cell game that triggered death, Goku prioritized fighting against a strong enemy called the cell rather than winning himself. This may also be the result of Gohan’s desire to test his power over his mission to save the Earth’s crisis, as Gohan had a higher fighting power than himself.
However, despite a time limit in the first battle with Majin Buu, he stopped the war in the middle even though he became Super Saiyan 3. Moreover, he later said that he was able to win at that time. Since I am dead, I leave the future to living humans. I have explained that, but it is a judgment that is unlike Goku.
Probably Goku said that he was dead and sprouted. It’s a kind of enlightenment. Therefore, Goku may have returned to his selfish thoughts as he did in his lifetime after he was revived at the behest of the King of the Old World.
If you think so, you can understand that Goku has some idea of what he did when he was dead. Goku, at that time, was over, and he may have lost the selfishness he had when he was alive. It’s a religious way of thinking, but there are many things that I can understand.
This behavior pattern that is not like Goku is instead the way the sub-characters move, not like Son Goku, who is the main character of the original “Dragon Ball.” With that in mind, Goku’s regaining his true self means that he will return to the main character with equality.
Gohan was the main character after Majin Buu, but this may be the biggest reason why he changed to Goku before he knew it. Isn’t it possible that Goku’s movements were more like the main character than Gohan didn’t have the main character’s vessel?
The protagonist was probably replaced before I knew it due to pursuing Goku’s uniqueness unintentionally by the original author, Akira Toriyama. It is probably the result of the so-called character’s self-assertion.
Thinking so, Goku may have lacked a soul when he was dead and a ghost. It’s a brute force idea, but it makes sense to believe that Goku’s childlike behavior in the anime “Dragon Ball Super” stands out because of the release of the dead and oppressed soul.
