Question about Dragonball

.ShenLong · 08-31-2005

There is something I don't know but you guys can help me.I heard about some books with the story of Dragonball.Is this true?

.The Silent Warrior · 08-31-2005

Yes I think you are refering to Journey to the West

.MacGyver · 08-31-2005

Yes, Dragonball was created as a parody of that tale from the beginning. Goku was meant to look like a monkey from the beginning, but AT decided to only give him a tail. The whole "Search for the Dragonballs"- saga was a parody. After that saga the fans requested for more and AT continued.

You are right McG! Akira toriyama also based it on "The monkey King" and since you know about this would you know where i could get a copy of Journey to the west story? I like Oriental stories.

Oh and please say Akira toriyama not AT. Akira would not like that would he?

Sorry, I don't know where to find it...you maybe can seek it up in the library, asking a librarian. They know their stuff...or seek in Google after it and you will find it. That's for sure. I mean, it's a well known chinese tale.

I don't prefer to write Akira Toriyama all the time. It's like writing "be right back" every time instead of "brb" in a conversation...
