Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around defeating an ancient, destructive monster, a classic good-versus-evil narrative that is inherently apolitical and does not explicitly promote any specific ideological viewpoint.
The movie features the established diverse cast of the Dragon Ball Z franchise, which includes characters of various species and appearances, without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative focuses on heroic action and adventure, portraying its male protagonists in a consistently positive light without any critical commentary on traditional identities or explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes. The narrative focuses on action and fantasy elements, with no explicit or implicit portrayal of queer identities or experiences, resulting in an N/A rating for LGBTQ+ representation.
The film "Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Consequently, there is no portrayal to evaluate, and the net impact is determined to be N/A.
The film primarily features male characters in combat roles against the main antagonist, Hirudegarn, and his summoner, Hoi. Female characters like Bulma and Chi-Chi are present but do not engage in direct physical combat against male opponents.
The film features established Dragon Ball Z characters and new characters introduced for this movie. All characters maintain their canonical or originally assigned genders, with no instances of a character being portrayed as a different gender than previously established.
This animated film is a direct continuation of the Dragon Ball Z anime series. All established characters are depicted consistently with their original animated designs and presumed racial/ethnic backgrounds from the Japanese source material. No character's race was altered from prior canon.
