These shows areenergetic, action-packed, and often goofy.

And likeDragon Ball,One Piececomes from this same category of shows.

Both are powerful, exuding abilities that far exceed their looks.

Goku and Vegeta’s sons surpassed them.

But as far as live-action goes, this is not a common combination of attributes for a heroic character.

As seen inA Good Place,Jacinto is able to play the lovable idiot.

He is also able to pull of being a solemn and intense action star as seen inThe Acolyte.

A lack of control doomed Dragonball Evolution, but its failure may guide future live-action anime efforts.

For a young Goku, it may be vital to find a new actor who is largely unknown.

Dragon Ball expanded quickly, starting as a serialized manga for Weekly Shonen Jump in Japan.

Gohan, from the scene where he first transforms into Super Saiyan 2, stands in focus with Goku and Veneta behind him.

It made its way overseas via manga and an anime adaptation that is enjoyed worldwide.

These mystical orbs would grant the wish of any who gathered them together.
