Center
Primary
The film's central narrative is an apolitical hero's journey focused on good versus evil, lacking explicit promotion or critique of specific political ideologies, thus earning a neutral rating.
The film's casting for its lead characters, originally East Asian-coded, aligns with traditional mainstream practices rather than explicit DEI-driven representation. The narrative focuses on an adventure story without any explicit critique or negative portrayal of traditional identities, nor does it center on DEI themes.
Secondary
The film features Chi-Chi, a skilled martial artist, who engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against multiple male opponents during the climax of the film.
Goku and Bulma, characters widely established as East Asian-coded in the original Dragon Ball manga and anime, are portrayed by white actors in the film, constituting clear race swaps.
Dragonball Evolution does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its storyline. The narrative is centered on heterosexual relationships and action-adventure elements, with no representation of queer identities or experiences.
All major characters in "Dragonball Evolution" retain the same gender as their established counterparts in the original Dragon Ball manga and anime series. No canonical male or female characters were portrayed as a different gender.
