It analyzes two Japanese narratives —Ryu no Me no Namida by Hirosuke Hamada (1967) and Dragon Ball Z by Akira Toriyama (1988-1995)— to investigate representations of good and evil through the dragon figure. The study connects these narratives to the Jōdo Shinshū Buddhist tradition, highlighting how they reflect and reinterpret cultural values within global contexts.

A través de dos narrativas de la cultura japonesa —Ryu no Me no Namida de Hirosuke Hamada (1967) y Dragon Ball Z de Akira Toriyama (1988-1995)— se exploran las representaciones del bien y el mal mediante la figura del dragón. El análisis se basa en la conexión que estas narrativas tienen con la tradición del budismo Jōdo Shinshū, destacando cómo las historias reflejan y (re)interpretan valores culturales en contextos globales.
