Dragon Ball has a wealth of cultural context and inspiration that’s often overlooked because the fights are cool. Though not averse to fawning over animation and allowing for the Rule of Cool, Jelli and Bekinney delve into the world of Akira Toriyama, and discuss lesser-known facts about the worldwide manga and anime phenomenon that is one of the most well-known and popular Japanese pop culture exports of all-time. Want to learn about the cultural importance of moments, literary inspirations behind scenes and characters, production facts, and more? 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.

There is new Dragon Ball for the first time in years and we felt it was important to share our thoughts and opinions.
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 next five episodes: "Lightning," "Collar," "Tamagami," "Thieves," and "Ocean".
Who is Glorio, and what are his motives? Have we learned anything new?
What does the recently-introduced Panzy bring to the table?
What of the minotaur who wants to eat everyone?
Are there any readily apparent cultural underpinnings with the revelation that Shin (Supreme Kai) has a real name, and it's Nahare?
What of the rest of the cast? Where do Bulma, Piccolo, Vegeta, Gohan and others fit in?
What's the potential significance of Majin Kuu, and the character Hybis?
Did we crack the code and realize that Daima is basically Toriyama's riff on Charlie's Angels?
Why isn't Drew Barrymore allowed on Final Forum?
What about Lucy Lui, Kristen Stewart, Elizabeth Banks and the other actors from those movies?
Wait, what?
Are we okay?
Why did we talk about the Hair Club for Men?
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.
