Dragon Ball Z is profound. Discover the life-changing psychology of Goku and Vegeta.
"I would have loved for someone to explain "It's Over 9,000!" to me like Derek does in this book." - Ryō Horikawa, the Japanese voice of Vegeta
"Thanks to this book, I have realized that Goku understands and puts into practice a unique philosophy. Goku lives each moment by 'being in touch.'" - Ana Cremades, the Spanish voice of kid Goku
"It awakened and moved me. Only today do I fully understand what I have experienced with my character: a catharsis." - Gianluca Iacono, the Italian voice of Vegeta
"Who'd have thought my delivery of 1 line of dubbing would be the title of a book? A great read!" - Brian Drummond, Canadian Ocean Dub voice of Vegeta
***
Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball Z is the world's most-recognized anime and manga series, having entertained millions of fans across the globe. The legendary rivalry of the last two full-blooded Saiyans, Goku and Vegeta, is the iconic example of a lifelong conflict that inspires fans to burst through their own personal limits.
With a foreword by Ryō Horikawa, the Japanese voice of Vegeta, Dragon Ball Z "It's Over 9,000!" When Worldviews Collide is the first book to explain where the "It's Over 9,000!" meme came from, how the original video spread to receive over 7 million views, and why it continues to be such a popular catchphrase.
Featuring a thoroughly researched analysis of Goku and Vegeta's colliding worldviews, this book helps the reader better understand why conflict is necessary for profound personal growth and character development.
Referencing East Asian belief systems and high tech futuristic paradigms, Derek Padula, the author of The Dao of Dragon Ball books and website, provides a deeper understanding of this epic story and the inherent values within it.
It will forever change the way you look at Dragon Ball Z.
