Why are heroes foreigners in Japanese myths and manga? | The Metro-classic Japanese Podcast
Manage episode 303272194 series 2987394
In many Japanese myths and manga and anime, heroes are foreigners who come from outside the community. This has to do with Japan's history of seeing innovation almost always being brought from overseas. We don't know the author's real intent, but Dragon Ball is a representative example of the Japanese cultural idea about heroes.
Show host Kyota Ko explains why.
