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.

Welcome to Final Forum's Dragon Ball-oween Spooktacular!
In this special Jelli-only mini-sode we take a complete break from format, and from breaking down Akira Toriyama's manga and anime smash success to continue our October/Halloween Festivities and on this episode, it's all about FEAR, because it's almost Halloween and there's nothing like a good scare to get you ready for the season.
So, who will make Jelli's Top Ten Scariest Dragon Ball Moments? The pool to choose from is ENORMOUS:
Vegeta in his early years had many moments
Bulma can be fearsome when she gets mad
Oolong used to try to scare villagers
Master Roshi's perversions would scare most women in the MeToo era
Emperor Pilaf...uh probably not
Giran is a literal monster
Eighter (Android 8, 8-chan) evokes Frankenstein and his monster
Tao Paipai's villainy knows no end
Mister Popo could strike fear into the hearts of anyone insisting that Dragon Ball is culturally sensitive
Fortune Teller Baba communicates with ghosts
Demon King Piccolo is a literal demon (kind of...at least until we learn what Namek is)
Nappa creates seed people (saibamen) and uses them to murder our heroes
Frieza is the ruthless emperor of the galaxy and his henchmen Zarbon, Dodoria, and the Ginyu Force are no slouches in the nasty department either
Chi-chi
Android 19, Android 20, Dr. Gero, Android 17, Android 18, Android 16 - Will any of the artificial humans make the cut?
King Cold is Frieza's father and perhaps even more ruthless
What about any of the movie villains? Cooler, Turles, Lord Slug, Super Android 13, Garlic Jr, Janemba, Bojack, or the like?
Cell, Perfect Cell, Semi-Perfect Cell...they eat people!
Majin Buu, Fat Buu, Evil Buu, Kid Buu, Buuhan - The shapeshifting monster could make anyone shudder in fear
Dabura is the king of the demon world
Babidi and his father Bibidi are evil wizards
Beerus is a literal destroyer god who almost blows up the Earth because he can't get pudding
Mr Satan, probably not, but he has SATAN in his name...
Jiren's quest for absolute power and emotionless focus may take one aback
Goku Black, or Zamasu - bodysnatching Goku and murdering your best friends is definitely a scary thought
Hit is a trained assassin
Caulifla goes Berserk
Speaking of Berserk, Broly's power can be scary
Many antagonists have scary moments Bergamo, Frost, Magetta, Botamo, Top, Dyspo, Cell Max, Moro, Granolah, Gas, Elec....
....and more...?
Jelli threw all these in a pile and picked out just TEN of his favorites. Who will they be?
Stay tuned to find out!
