Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Traditional

Primary

The film's central conflict revolves around a classic hero's journey to overcome literal evil and prove oneself, a subject matter that is inherently apolitical. The narrative champions individual strength, discipline, and teamwork without engaging in any discernible political or ideological commentary.

This animated film, originating from a Japanese manga, features characters designed in a distinct anime style, where the concept of traditional Western roles for casting does not apply. The narrative focuses on adventure and martial arts, without engaging in any critique of traditional identities or incorporating explicit diversity, equity, and inclusion themes.

Secondary

This early Dragon Ball film does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The plot centers on adventure and martial arts, with character relationships adhering to heterosexual norms of the period, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity.

The film does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or explore related themes. Its plot and character arcs are entirely focused on fantasy adventure elements, with no narrative space dedicated to gender identity or transition.

The film features Launch, whose aggressive personality uses firearms effectively against male opponents. However, there are no scenes where a female character is shown to be victorious in close-quarters physical combat, hand-to-hand, or with melee weapons against one or more male opponents. Her combat victories are solely achieved through the use of firearms.

This film, an adaptation of the Dragon Ball manga, features all established characters retaining their canonical genders from the source material. No characters originally presented as one gender are portrayed as a different gender in this movie.

This animated film directly adapts characters from the Dragon Ball manga. The characters maintain their original stylized visual depictions, consistent with their source material. No character established as one race is portrayed as a different race.
