Tennis Boy doesn't need a girlfriend.

But Dragon Ball Boy needs a girlfriend, and Son Goku, who is the core protagonist, finally met his true daughter after the 21st World First Martial Arts Conference.

Kiki!

As the only daughter of the Bull Demon King, Kiki is actually a very good girl, but because of Wukong's ignorance of the world, she has a wonderful fate with Wukong.

In simple terms, engaged.

The first meeting between the two is barely an extremely rare emotional scene in the animation "Dragon Ball".

It's a pity that this fate is too short-lived. After saying goodbye to Kiki, Goku once again embarks on a journey to find the Dragon Balls.

Kiki and Wukong's marriage contract is honestly very sloppy......

But no matter how hasty it is, it's still a marriage contract. And Wukong is that kind of simple character, it can be said that from the moment he made a marriage contract with Kiki, the two were destined to be together.

Is this a good thing?

Seeing that on some forums and social platforms, the majority of "Dragon Ball" fans congratulated Wukong on his "off the list", Gu Miao was suddenly a little speechless.

Maybe at this time, everyone only knows that Kiki is Wukong's official match, and they don't know what happened to Kiki at all, right?

Although the manga has been updated to the part after Goku and Kiki's marriage, since the manga has just released its latest volume, many anime viewers have not seen it yet.

This also leads to:

The vast majority of the audience are all supportive of Wukong and Kikicao's engagement to the marriage.

Only a small number of fans who saw the latest words of the manga quietly changed their previous opinions.

Kiki deserves Goku.

But......

Wukong is not worthy of Kiki!

Wukong is simple and simple, and he is a "martial idiot" to put it mildly. If it weren't for the comic book author sending him a wife, a character like him would be properly noted as a lonely child.

And after he married Qiqi, to be honest, he didn't let Qiqi live too well, but relied on Qiqi to support a Sun family alone.

Qiqi is the "pillar" of the Sun family!

To be able to marry such a virtuous wife, Wukong can only say that he is lucky.

Although there are many fans of the "Dragon Ball" anime, there are many people who support Boomer and Goku, a pair of "first love groups", including Gu Miao himself.

But even the fans who support the first love group and are obsessed with Boomer will rarely say bad things about Kiki.

Don't ask why.

Asking is the role of "good wife and good mother" played by Kiki, which is really hard to fault. Some people may feel sorry for Boomer, but no one dares to say that Kiki is inferior to Boomer.

Extreme fans are exceptional, of course.

From Gu Miao's point of view, he has strong dissatisfaction and prejudices about the emotional scenes in the "Dragon Ball" animation.

He also thought about changing the story line of the characters, so that the emotional drama would not be so thin, so that the mention of "Dragon Ball" would not be a fight and kill.

But he thought about it......

The reason why "Dragon Ball" became popular is not because of the emotional line portrayed by Akira Toriyama, but because of the exciting and exciting and exciting fight scenes.

As long as this part is done well, the emotional line will be rotten a little, and it doesn't matter anyway.

Even the deletion of these emotional lines does not have much impact on the IP of "Dragon Ball".

So, he didn't make any changes.

What is the emotional drama of the original "Dragon Ball", what is the Wanbao version like. If I have to say anything different, it should be that the character's style has changed.

This is Gu Miao's request.

When the "Dragon Ball" manga was about to start serialization, he told the author who drew the manga that the characters should be as "distinctive" as possible.

Take female characters, for example.

Don't dress so "retro" and old-fashioned, it's the new century, even if it's a practice uniform, you can't have such a "sense of age"?

It's going to be fashionable, it's going to have to be fashionable.

Turtle immortals can be so trendy, why can't others?

In addition to dressing up, the Manbao version of the Dragon Ball manga and anime also has a separate revision of each character's "hairstyle".

Don't get me wrong, it's not a Saiyan!

Of course, Gu Miao won't move the Saiyan's iconic explosive hairstyle, what he makes people change is just the hairstyle of other characters in daily life.

……

The "Dragon Ball" anime continues to be a hit.

With the advancement of the double-line serialization of animation and comics, Gu Miao, Nishio and others also noticed a phenomenon.

Popularity seems to have reached a bottleneck?

No matter how much money Wanbao spends and how much advertising space it buys, the effect of publicity and promotion is not as good as before. The popularity of animation & comics is always stuck here, and it can't go up or down.

To be honest, it's embarrassing.

You say "Dragon Ball" is not popular......

This is not only the first neon sales, but also the top 10 domestic sales of popular single comics. It is also a popular animation that has repeatedly broken the neon ratings record and exceeded 100 million online broadcasts.

Let's say that "Dragon Ball" is very popular! It doesn't seem to have reached the height of the original, and it only has a certain influence in East Asia at present.

Is there something wrong?

Gu Miao didn't understand it at first, why did a work like "Dragon Ball" also encounter a popularity bottleneck?

But through his investigation, he found out that he seemed to have made one mistake, and that was to seriously underestimate the increase in the "Saiyans" for the series.

Dragon Ball without Saiyans, it's really almost meaningful, and now this popularity is already considered to be a super level of play.

Only when Saiyan debuts can the "Dragon Ball" anime really take off, from a regional anime that only has influence in East Asian countries, to a "world-class" anime IP with a wide fan base around the world.

"It has to be a Saiyan!"

Gu Miao pursed her lips, shook her head and sighed: "It seems that if the popularity of "Dragon Ball" wants to go further, it can only rely on the second season of the animation. ”

Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, Dragon Ball Gai, Dragon Ball Super ......

Let's not talk about comics.

If you only consider animation, the "Dragon Ball" series is indeed a work that slowly walks to the altar step by step.

Became a god in the first season?

This is indeed Gu Miao's overthinking, and she will definitely not be able to do it with the first season alone, and she must rely on the follow-up works to complete it.

It's not a big problem, though.

Although Gu Miao overestimated the influence and popularity of the first season of the anime, this is Dragon Ball after all, even if it reaches the popularity bottleneck, it is also a height that other animations cannot reach.

Compared with the initial investment, Wanbao has already made a lot of money.

After all, in the production process of "Dragon Ball", Wan Bao really didn't spend much money, it was nothing more than buying more layouts when he was engaged in comic serialization in the early stage.

Anyway, the investment is not high, at least it is not comparable to the previous "Sailor Moon S".

And in terms of return, "Dragon Ball" is not much worse than "Sailor Moon S".

Although the "Sailor Moon" series is still the backbone of the neon division, with the sudden rise of "Dragon Ball", the status of Sailor Moon has been shaken.

How strong is one super?

No, no, no! Now it's bipolar!
