Why Goku is Better than Vegeta - The Wisdom of Akira Toriyama

Описание: When it comes to fandoms, my first true love was and will always be Dragon Ball. It's the first thing that I chose to become a diehard fan of. Since the early 2000s, I've stuck pretty closely to the Dragon Ball community. It means a lot to me, and had a major impact on where I am in life today.

For that reason, the passing of the series creator, Akira Toriyama, was hard to take. Now my two favorite manga creators are sadly gone. But the legacy they left is legendary.

You know what's funny? Vegeta was never my favorite character, or even in the top 5. My favorite character was always Piccolo, and Krillin has also risen far in my ranks. But making this video, I realized how much I actually like and know about Vegeta. Being a loner myself, I see myself in him in some ways.

I've actually had this thought in my head about Vegeta and Goku's relationship for awhile, but never put as much thought into it until recently. I started to understand their dynamic after I started doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. In any martial art, you'll find tons of Vegetas. People who are extremely talented, but are hard to work with due to their ego. And the truth is, we're all in a constant battle with our ego. Even the best of us like Goku.

I don't intend to become a Dragon Ball creator. I just needed to make something to pay tribute to Akira Toriyama and my favorite series. Maybe the occasional video here and there. But I have always wanted to dip my toe into anime/manga analysis, so I hope this is a good start.

I also want to give a shoutout to a youtuber called DragonBallGrandSoundtracks . They are uploading incredible HD versions of Dragon Ball video game music, like the Budokai game music I used for this video. If you need Dragon Ball music, I highly recommend checking out their channel.

I hope you guys enjoy the video!
