Mediante este e-book, que muestra un intenso análisis de las cosmovisiones en colisión de Goku y Vegeta, el lector comprenderá mucho mejor por qué el conflicto es necesario para el desarrollo de los personajes y el crecimiento personal. Derek Padula, autor del libro y el blog The Dao of Dragon Ball, toma como referencia los sistemas de creencias del este asiático y los paradigmas de la tecnología del futuro, proporcionando una compresión más profunda de esta historia épica junto a los valores inherentes que podemos encontrar en ella. Este libro cambiará para siempre nuestra manera de contemplar Dragon Ball Z.
