Dragon Ball is part of the culture of Mexico. As strange as that may sound, everywhere we can see stores with the name of a character from this anime, Goku selling tacos on some corner, and fans imitating the poses and powers that we saw when we were children. There is an infinite list of examples. We must not forget that occasion when the end of Dragon Ball Super It was broadcast in Municipal Palaces as if it were the final of the Soccer World Cup.
Part of what made this special was the dubbing work, and it is very likely that these actors owe their success to Dragon Ball. On related topics, this is how Yujii Horii reacted to Toriyama's death. Likewise, these were the farewell messages from other mangakas.
Editor's Note:
Akira Toriyama's work will never be forgotten. We will always see the Frieza and Cell saga on Channel 5. Multiple generations will have the opportunity to learn the story of Goku and company. The legacy of this mangaka will continue in Mexico, Latin America, and the rest of the world.
