Whether you‘re a fan of Goku, Vegeta, or any of the cast of characters including Piccolo, Gohan, Frieza, or even Broly, there should be something for you to enjoy as we cover all things Dragon Ball, including DBZ, GT, Super, Daima, and more! We‘ll have discussions, guests, interviews, reviews, and commentaries so grab a senzu bean, power up your fan level to Super Saiyan, and get ready to learn about Kakarot and his friends; and of course, thank you for helping us achieve our FINAL FORUM...We hear it‘s over 9000.

WILL we find out why Piccolo is here? Is Super Saiyan 4 really canon now? Does that matter? What's the meaning of canon? What's the meaning of life? Why are we here? Does anything matter? Are we just on a big ball of entropy careening towards the heat death of the universe?
Join Jelli and Bekinney as we continue looking at Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball franchise by tackling a discussion of Dragon Ball Daima, and its final five episodes: "Degesu," "Gomah," "Awakening," "Betrayal," and "Maximum."
The Great Value Ginyu Force has their moment
Gomah gets the Evil Third Eye
Glorio does...I don't know...something. His story makes as little sense as we could have imagined
Piccolo's punches do nothing? What is he DOING here? (spoiler: we never find out)
Super Saiyan 4!?!?! SSJ4?!?!? Canon?!?!? ZOMG!
Vegeta and Bulma make us wish for that sitcom we pitched last time even MORE
Then there's a bunch of punching and fighting for multiple episodes
And then Kuu, Duu, Arinsu, Glorio, Panzy, Kadan, and the rest all get a happy ending...wait...not THAT kiind.
What else are Jelli and Bekinney up to?
Jelli is re-reading The Dark Tower, talks about The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, and talks about Mike Flanagan
Bekinney is playing Monster Hunter Wilds
Join us for this more casual conversation as we dig through the world of Daima and continue to uncover the cultural meanings, publication facts, inspirations and more behind the wildly popular Dragon Ball franchise.
