Dragon Ball #1 - Son Gokū i jego przyjaciele

Goku's innocence really sets the tone for the series, but I wonder if that was based on any specific myth or character archetype.

The story jumps quickly from Goku's childhood to the Dragon Ball hunt. Was this intentional to keep a fast tempo or just a storytelling choice?

The Monkey King myth is central here, but it’s intertwined with action and humor. I’d love to know what led to that fusion.
