Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 1,7, University of Augsburg, language: English, abstract: This work will show that the text of Dragon Ball has an emotional impact on its fans which is far beyond the pleasure of simple enjoyment of the text through reading or watching. The fan culture of Dragon Ball, which, by its creator Akira Toriyama, was intended to revolve around young boys has grown to such an extent that some people have started the "Church of Goku", calling their religion "Gokuism" . But this godly degree of fan culture is just the apex. The text of Dragon Ball, as other grand text universes like those of Sherlock or Harry Potter, first and foremost, consists of written texts and films. Through these texts and films, fans get into the text and make it their own. They write fan fiction, collect merchandise or memorabilia, try to meet the show’s voice actors or draw energy and ideas from the text onto their own lives to get motivation to accomplish goals and, sometimes, to find purpose in life again at times with less to no hope. Oftentimes, the emotional confrontation with the text is the motivation to stay connected with the Dragon Ball fandom for their whole life. As a result of this connection, fans of various ages perform cosplays, create fan fiction and parodies in text and film, dedicate their lives to the text and even professional voice actors feel as if they have a responsibility to keep voicing ‘their’ characters instead of retiring and let another person destroy their vocal chords due to the exhausting screaming in Dragon Ball Therefore, this work will look at various examples relating to Mark Duffett’s "three types of pleasures" to show the fans’ way of how they connect with the text. Furthermore, teh author looks at the text of Dragon Ball from the point of view of the "archive" in the context of Jacques Derrida’s "archontic principle". After that, this essay will try to connect the "three Pleasures" with Abigail Derecho’s "Archontic Literature", based on Derrida’s theory. Derek Padula’s "Dragon Soul" (2016), a collection of texts, wherein fans and producers of the text write about their relation to Dragon Ball, will serve as the main source of examples especially relating to the three pleasures. In the conclusion, the main aspects will be summarized and a possible future of the archive of Dragon Ball will be outlined briefly.
