I wasn't using Goku as a "counterpart", Bantha. I was referring to the fact that Goku was based on Sun Wukong. And while I would say that he can be compared to Death Note in that manner, it's a lot different since Death Note is about 9 years old, where as Sun Wukong is several centuries old and a highly influential figure among Eastern media. It gives Sun Wukong a lot more substance and ground for a battle than a recent anime character.

Fair point, TK.

Stahlix, I don't see where that comparison can come into play. Sun Wukong isn't a pop culture figure. He's from a 16th century novel.
