Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Dragon Ball’s impact on the entertainment industry is well-known, but its significance in Latin America goes far beyond anime culture. The world-renowned franchise began when Akira Toriyama’s manga, Dragon Ball, was first serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1984. Two years later, an anime adaptation from Toei Animation was aired from 1986-1989. Since then, Toriyama’s story has reached every corner of the globe.

"Dragon Ball is like a miracle, given how it helped someone like me who has a twisted, difficult personality do a decent job and get accepted by society.” – Akira Toriyama “It’s our deep regret that he still had several works in the middle of creation with great enthusiasm. He would have many more things to achieve. However, he has left many manga titles and works of art to this world.” – Bird Studio & Capsule Corporation Tokyo

Telenovelas, which are often sourced from Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil, frequently feature adult themes common in anime like violence, drugs, or sexual content. Furthermore, they are known for their melodramatic tones and multi-season arcs, similar to anime. One of the primary reasons for these differences was the purpose of the show itself. In America, short arcs and TV showswere created for one primary purpose: to sell products.

In 2018, a scandal arose surrounding a Dragon Ball Super screening in Juárez. Several public viewings of Episode 130 of DBS appeared throughout Latin America. The episode featured a monumental battle between Gokû and his enemy, Jiren. However, a day before the event, Toei Animation sent a Mexican governor a letter via the Japanese Embassy, denying permission for the episode to be shown because of pirating concerns.

Goku became a household name in Latin America thanks to his defining character traits and the series’ most relatable arcs. Dragon Ball contains many sub-plots about protecting others, fighting for family, and achieving personal goals. However, while the family values of Dragon Ball make the series enjoyable for a multi-generational audience, its action element takes its marketability to the next level.
