Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film's narrative centers on apolitical themes of individual strength, friendship, and overcoming challenges through martial arts, rather than promoting specific political ideologies.
The movie maintains character representations consistent with its established Japanese anime source material, without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of roles. Its narrative primarily focuses on action and character development, presenting traditional identities in a neutral or positive light without explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is solely centered on action, power levels, and the protection of Earth, with no elements pertaining to queer identity or relationships.
Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on martial arts, gods, and cosmic battles, with no elements related to gender identity or transition present in the storyline or character arcs.
The film features female characters like Android 18 and Videl who attempt to engage Beerus in physical combat. However, both characters are quickly and effortlessly defeated by Beerus, with no instances of them achieving victory against male opponents in close-quarters physical combat.
All established characters from the Dragon Ball Z franchise retain their canonical genders. New characters introduced in the film, Beerus and Whis, are not gender swaps as they had no prior canonical gender.
Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods introduces new characters like Beerus and Whis, but all established characters from the Dragon Ball Z canon maintain their original visual depictions and implied racial characteristics from the source material. No character's race was altered from prior installments.
