The classics will never get tired of reading it a few times. Recently, taking advantage of the summer vacation, I spent nearly a month and a half watching "Dragon Ball" and "Dragon Ball Z", also known as the first and second parts of Dragon Ball, from beginning to end. A total of 444 episodes. The task is really arduous and it’s fun to watch. Hard. I watched the first episode of the last
Let's talk about the main combat roles first.
First generation:
Monkey King——
The story of Dragon Ball begins with him and ends with him. The final elimination of the five bosses, the Red Ribbon Legion, the Big Demon King Piccolo, Frieza, Sharu, and the Demon Buu, were all directly or indirectly caused by him. Even if he is not the strongest in the universe at a certain period of time, he is always practicing hard on the way to become the strongest. The most important thing in Sun Wukong's heart is not justice, but fighting. It can be said that he is just defending justice by the way in the battle with the strong. Toriyama Akira designed such a person who is simple and pure as a piece of white paper. It is a miracle of anime. It is possible to radiate positive energy all over the body without making people feel embarrassed and contrived. Probably only Monkey King.
Vegeta--
Except for the incomparable love of fighting and just to become stronger, Vegeta and Monkey King have almost two extremes. The early Vegeta was cruel, but I didn’t think he was really evil. One of his most common sayings was "I am a proud Saiyan prince, and Kakarot is just a low-level warrior." However, Beiji Ta was either abused by the villain or left behind by Monkey King. He has never been the strongest person. In this respect, he is undoubtedly a sad character. I think the toughest character in Dragon Ball is Vegeta. Of course, the dark side of the moon is the dark side of the moon, which is understandable.
Piccolo--
If Vegeta's correction of evil is subtle, Piccolo's correction of evil has an obvious turning point, that is, training Gohan. In the early days, Piccolo had the attributes of the descendants of the Great Demon King and was guarded by everyone. Only Gohan did not understand his past and treated him as a normal person. As a Namek, Piccolo has a special function. In addition, he returned to one with the gods in the later period. His EQ and IQ are incomparable to everyone in Dragon Ball. This also determines that he is lonely and everyone gathers together. When it's busy, you can always see him and Vegeta standing beside him coldly. It can be said that Gohan can only stay emotionally close to him, and no one really understands Piccolo.
Klin--
It is said that Klin is the happiest person in Dragon Ball, with Wukong as his teammate and No. 18 as his wife. In fact, as the strongest human on earth, Klin deserves this benefit. Unlike the cosmic people like Monkey King, Vegeta, and Piccolo, Klin is indeed a true portrayal of a human being on earth. He has his own emotions and desires, he is indecisive but he is indecisive. In the later period, the combat effectiveness weakened, and he became the leader of the logistics team.
Tianjin Rice——
There are three main combat roles in Dragon Ball, and Tianjin Fan is the first one. Perhaps because of the growth environment, Tianjin Fan is destined to be out of gregariousness. Vegeta and Piccolo were still watching the excitement in the corner, while Tianjin Fan said goodbye to everyone and went away. He rushed to support him during the battle with Majin Buu, and when he was fighting against Sharu, he took his life and used the Qigong Cannon to delay the opponent. It's hard to say whether he or Klin is the strongest human on earth (there is also a saying that Tianjin Fan is the offspring of the Three-Eyed Man in the Universe), but Tianjin Fan must be the more proud and lonely one.
dumpling--
Dumplings should be the best of Dragon Ball's main combatants. They will always be next to Tianjin Fan. Tianjin Fan talks about the West, but he can't talk about the East. But it is such a character with extremely weak combat power, who uses his innocence to add a bit of softness to the dragon ball full of fighting violence. Using the method of self-destruction to try to die with Saiyan Napa, this is the highlight moment of dumplings.
Yamu Tea——
This monarch's combat effectiveness has indeed made him the target of generations of Dragon Ball fans, who will always be killed in seconds. The sadness index and Vegeta are not much better, but they are not at the same level. What I want to say is that before meeting Wukong, he was a free and easy Jiang Yang thief. For wealth, justice, or Bouma, he was the first to fight alongside Wukong, and he persisted to the end. With his abilities, being a professional baseball player or martial arts actor must be the most powerful. After all, his combat effectiveness should be second only to Kelin and Tianjin Fan among the people on earth, but he chose to wait by everyone silently. Like his other name "Leping": optimistic and ordinary. (PS. Ya Mucha's hairstyle has been changed four times in total, it is really worthy of appearance)
Second generation:
Monkey King——
To quote Kiki, "Gohan is destined to become a scholar." But with the powerful genes of the Saiyans, and the earth began to be unstable within a few years after birth, Gohan was destined to save the world first. Regrettably, Gohan perfectly inherited Goku's kind character and powerful strength, but he also became a little dull and weak the day after. One move to destroy Sharu by Turtle Qigong made me think that Gohan was going to succeed Wukong to become the male one, but the facts proved that although he was later enlightened by the old world king, Gohan could no longer shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving the world. In the end, the world was peaceful, and Goku was going to become stronger, and Gohan finally became a scholar. It can only be said that everyone has their own ambitions. I have to admit that the Saiyan's genes are not only good for fighting, but also for learning.
Monkey King——
Goku's second son. It is said that Wukong and Shalu were killed before Qiqi was pregnant, but I can't tell the time. Wu Tian is exactly the same as Wukong when he was a child, and his hair style has not changed. I can't help but wonder, isn't it that only purebred Saiyans can keep the same hairstyle, but then it seems that Goten's hair has also grown longer. Having said so much is just gossip, and Wutian really doesn't have any experience in fighting alone. Basically, Wutianks are fighting after being combined.
Trunks--
In terms of character settings, he is about the same age as Wu Tian, and he has been playing together since he was a child, and he has almost always appeared at the same time, fighting together. But the young Trunks, who has traveled back from the future, added a lot of drama to this role. I can only say that Uncle Bird drew him really handsome, and when he came out, he killed the mechanical Frieza with a sword. Since then, the world of Dragon Ball has completely entered another dimension. Falling in love and killing with Vegeta and his son is also a highlight of Trunks's role. Maybe it was the weird combination of the Saiyan prince and the rich daughter of the earth, so that Trunks did not have a distinctive character, but he could be seen as a very responsible person.
This time I looked back at Dragon Ball and made a small discovery. Everyone said that the most burning moment of Dragon Ball was when Wukong faced Frieza in Namek and turned into Super One (so don’t kill Klin casually. Klin was killed for the first time. , Goku blasted Dan Balin to the dregs. The second time he was killed, Wukong turned into a super tyrannical Frieza), probably because this is too classic, and it has been repeated countless times in his mind. When I saw it this time There was no turmoil in my heart. In contrast, the scene where Vegeta and Napa attacked the earth and Wukong quickly resurrected to save everyone ignited me.
Speaking of this, I have to mention the perspective shift that I think is the most handsome.
The reason why Dragon Ball has been popular for 30 years is that Toriyama Akira can use the techniques of lens division and perspective conversion to make the battle scene vivid and lifelike. This is called master-level animation language and lens language. . Fighting anime Dragon Ball has had it before, and there have been more since, but there is no one that can shake the status of Dragon Ball. Dragon Ball is indeed unprecedented.
Dragon Ball has another characteristic: direct and pure. The story begins with collecting dragon balls. I thought it would end with a lot of hard work to gather the dragon balls, but after more than a dozen episodes of dragon balls, I collected them. I can’t stop painting and painting); Monkey King is a well-deserved soul figure, but he died in the first few episodes in the second part (of course, you can also use Dragon Ball to resurrect, which is also a point of Toriyama’s very cleverness. As long as you encounter any difficulties, you can use Dragon Ball. It will not seem illogical, but the abuse of Dragon Ball in the later period also caused aesthetic fatigue) etc... Feel relieved, but ignite you with small clips of climax. This is where the skill lies. In addition, the characters in Dragon Ball are distinct from good and evil. They are either black or white. Goodness is pure, and evil is pure. That's why there will be sharp oppositions and fights with every effort. The lines of Dragon Ball are rough. , There are few delicate emotional dramas, but you see the details in the rough, after all, the core of Dragon Ball is to solve problems in a man's way.
Let's talk about the relationship between men and women in Dragon Ball.
Qiqi and Wukong may just stubbornly insist on the promise they made when they were young. They are not true love. In other words, Wukong, who is like a white paper, has no interest in the relationship between men and women. His only relationship is brotherhood, father-son relationship and even mentorship. Love, after marriage, Wukong is not at home all year round. As a traditional woman, Qiqi can only teach her son without a husband. She puts all her feelings on Gohan, and may even treat Gohan as Wukong.
Bouma and Wukong have been together since the first episode. The relationship between the two of them is also different and inconclusive, but I think that when Bouma first met Wukong, he was a kid, what is the attraction of the silly Wukong I really can't tell where Bouma is. They are more likely to be a kind of affection-like feelings that share adversity. The girlhood of Buma was definitely an appearance association, and Yamucha was destined to be a short-lived phenomenon. After the catastrophe of Namek, his vision may have changed. It is still understandable to be attracted by Vegeta’s arrogant and cool temperament. .
What I regret most is the pair of Lan Qi and Tianjin Fan. The blue-haired Lan Qi has a gentle personality and will definitely become a good wife and mother. The yellow-haired Lan Qi is rude, but also straightforward, and can live a chic life with Tianjin Fan. But Tianjin Fan is the same as Wukong Vegeta. There is only fighting in his mind. If you can't make money, you have to rely on women to support you. Tianjin Fan is even more ruthless and directly abandoned Lan Qi. But thinking about Tianjin Fan's character, there is nothing wrong with doing this. Well, he only has dumplings in his heart.
No. 18 has nothing to do with Klin, Vidiri and Gohan, so let's not talk about it.
Toriyama Akira definitely borrowed from the famous Chinese book "Journey to the West" when he first created Dragon Ball. Bouma (Tang Monk), Monkey King (still Monkey King, the name has not changed), Oolong (Pig Ba Jie), Ya Mu Cha (Drifting Monk) follow the classic quartet combination, as well as the Bull Demon King, Golden Hoop Rod, and Tendon Cloud And so on elements. Without "Journey to the West", there would be no Dragon Ball today. But Akira Toriyama is a master after all, and afterwards he completely drew a new grand dragon ball unique system.
Little Wukong stepped on the rolling log and collided with Bouma driving the capsule car, and an incredible adventure began. This adventure spans time and space and will continue forever.
GT’s theme song "Gradually attracted by you" has a sentence "Although I have shaken occasionally, I still want to continue fighting with love, courage and pride." Love, courage, pride, this is probably the theme of Dragon Ball and the touch it brings us.
I will be back for the 40th anniversary of Dragon Ball in six years.
