Dragon Ball di Akira Toriyama è la serie anime e manga più conosciuta al mondo e ha appassionato milioni di fan da ogni parte del globo. La leggendaria rivalità degli ultimi due Saiyan dal sangue puro, Goku e Vegeta, è l’esempio per antonomasia di un eterno conflitto che ispira i fan a superare i propri limiti. Con le prefazioni di Ryō Horikawa e Gianluca Iacono, rispettivamente la voce di Vegeta in giapponese e in italiano, Dragon Ball Z “It’s Over 9,000!” Visioni del mondo in collisione è il primo libro a spiegare da dove proviene “It’s Over 9,000!”, come si è diffuso il video originale fino a ricevere 7 milioni di visualizzazioni e perché continua ad essere uno slogan così popolare. Con un’analisi davvero meticolosa delle visioni del mondo in collisione di Goku e Vegeta, questo libro aiuta il lettore a comprendere meglio perché il conflitto è necessario per una profonda crescita personale e lo sviluppo caratteriale. Con riferimenti ai sistemi di credenze dell’Asia orientale e paradigmi futuristici di alta tecnologia, Derek Padula, l’autore della serie di libri e del blog The Dao of Dragon Ball, fornisce una profonda comprensione di questa storia epica e dei suoi valori intrinseci.
