Friday Funny

It's time for March Madness! The NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament won't start for another week, but Final Forum's Dragon Ball Tournament starts NOW. Check out our latest episode, where we debate which characters would win an episode of The Dating Game finalforumpodcast.podbean.com/e/march-madn...

Friday Funny, nipple-style

Fill a bracket! Send an e-mail! Win a prize! Share with friends, family, coworkers, etc It's our annual March Madness Tenkaichi Tournament! (Instructions in video, blank bracket in last post)

Manga Monday. Not Vegeta being the bigger man...

Wanted to do a Wednesday Wares and a Thursday Thread and a Friday Funny, but got overly busy, so why not cram ALL THREE INTO ONE with a brief discussion about Amana Water Park in The Philippines, which features a Dragon Ball themed area?!?!

It's our season finale, which means a VERY different type of episode... We had fun with this one and thanks to @soulmass218.bsky.social for their assistance. finalforumpodcast.podbean.com/e/season-fou...

Tomorrow's new episode will be different than usual, so instead of a "sneak peek" here's a clip from an OLD episode (our first episode) where we discuss Journey to the West and Toriyama's inspirations when creating Dragon Ball. The show sounds so different these days compared to just 5 years ago...

Age 1000 is Xenoverse 3?!?!

Life been comin at me fast and furious lately, but enjoy a Friday Funny

Something, something, Dragon Ball... ANYWAY, today I'm thinking about how I genuinely enjoy the Metallica album St. Anger, but I also extra special LOVE it because it reminds me of the summer it came out, driving around listening to it, and being young and actually having joy in my heart.

Scouters in Dragon Ball are stupid (But great from an actual literary technique/writing perspective, humanity just doesn't have media literacy)

Manga Monday One of my favorite chapter title pages from DBZ.

Self-promotion Sunday: We’re a Dragon Ball podcast covering the culture and history behind the series Be on the lookout for our March Madness episodes where we’ll be pitting the Dragon Ball characters against each other in a tournament, but NOT a fighting tournament. A Dating Game Tournament!

A bonus one this evening

Happy Valentine’s Day! Enjoy these Dragon Ball themed Valentine wishes

Friday Funny. Happy Valentine’s Day (tomorrow)!

Toriyama hated it, but it became a part of Dragon Ball anyway, and Valentine's Day is just around the corner, so let's talk a little bit about ROMANCE in today's Thursday Thread

Wednesday Wares. I'm just thankful for the joystick placement here, otherwise Roshi could potentially get a nosebleed all over me while I try to play Kakarot.

On an ALL-NEW Final Forum Podcast, we head to the Dragon Ball manga, as we've finished up the Ginyu Saga and are preparing to delve into Frieza. We discuss Toriyama's art and point out a continuity error in the manga that's fixed in the anime. Out NOW! finalforumpodcast.podbean.com/e/namek-and-...

For Manga Monday, we've got a teaser for our upcoming episode (out TOMORROW, 2/10) wherein we head back to the Dragon Ball manga for some compare/contrast and take our first look at the manga portion of the Namek/Ginyu arcs. We also point at that Piccolo is in fact black. Happy black history month?

Being sick stinks...though I enjoy the "constantly sleeping" part...can I get some of that without the illness piece?

Did you miss our episode last week? That's okay. Go listen to it now! Here's a little taste of the type of conversation you missed, where I try to place Cacao, from Dragon Ball Z Tree of Might, into my hazy 80s/90s memories by comparing him to The Inhumanoids and the third Clayface, Preston Payne.

Kids & I watch DBZ Kai on [as] in the AM as we're getting ready for school. We've read the manga but it's their first time seeing the anime This morning, Goku goes SSJ Next ep: Episode 1 Son: "I waited WEEKS for this fight and they're starting over?!?" The Toonami experience is alive and well, yall

Friday Funny. Orson Welles would have especially enjoyed Goku's eating habits. (That's not a fat joke, for the record, Welles was notorious for "gargantuan consumption of high-caloric food.")

RIP, king.

You know what? Fair.

Sync up your movie and get ready for a Final Forum commentary because our Tree of Might episode is LIVE NOW wherever you get your podcasts! We talk about Akira Toriyama: The World showcase, Saiyan culture, and of course...Jane Fonda...? Listen NOW: finalforumpodcast.podbean.com/e/tree-of-mi...

Boy, I don't want to make any unfounded claims or anything but my "this was made with generative AI" sense is tingling really hard here...and I hate it.

Sneak Peek Sunday! Dragon Ball Z: Tree of Might commentary is coming on Tuesday (1/27)! We get into the Turles Crusher Corps, the tree itself, and of course, everyone's favorite (?) cuddly purple dragon, Icarus, aka Haiya Dragon. Keep your eyes on our feed and make sure to sync up!

Unlikely the first to say: using Toriyama’s name on the newly announced projects is a bit ghoulish but at least with the Moro stuff it makes sense. Slapping his name onto a game whose title isn’t even official when he probably threw together a few character designs and that’s it feels icky though.

Definitely gonna parse all this when I sober up, but I can’t imagine anyone being terribly upset about this piece of news.

Friday Funny Rewatched The Sixth Sense for the first time in a very long time last year. It actually holds up really well, even knowing the twist already.

Raggin on dude for how he LOOKS sittin in his car ain't right. The real issue is social skills. Sounds like shorty was interested & instead of conversing, he ranted. I run a DB pod & when people go on long rants how "GOGETA IS THE GOAT" I think "K. Weirdo." Imagine what functional human women think

More of this, less AI slop www.instagram.com/reel/DTs8ZLW...

She's one of Dragon Ball's most OG characters, but everyone gets a LOT of things completely WRONG about her and her family. Let's talk about Bulma and her family in today's Thursday Thread 🧵

Wednesday Wares. I'd wear this.

No new episode, but if you happened to miss last week's episode, here's a little teaser of what reading the Dragon Power novelization did to our brains... Check out the full episode, too! Just look for us on your favorite podcatcher #booksky #dbz #anime #manga #nintendo #gaming

All these football posts casually dropping Dragon Ball references are deepening my depression. I come to my Dragon Ball feed to AVOID reality, not have the failings of the Buffalo Bills thrust into my face For the record: the only problem with firing McDermott is that it didn’t happen 6 years ago…

Manga Monday. This is a VERY out of context moment (for context: it's from when Bulma is told that Vegeta has died after facing Buu) but I needed a sad/crying moment to express how sad I still am after having my guts ripped out by the Bills.

I may be so horrifically depressed from another Buffalo Bills loss that I can't bring myself to turn on another football game, and the thought of it makes me want to vomit but that doesn't mean I can't channel that horrific sadness into something. October is only 10 months away... #dbz #cosplay

Self-Promotion Sunday: We’re a Dragon Ball podcast with focus on Asian history and culture. We take 1-5 episodes of the show, give thoughts, & dive into some cultural touchstone or history that is common to those episodes. Join the discord to chat with our growing community: discord.gg/KGGeyt2jWD

Friday Funny. ...but also facts.

Wednesday Wares. Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they COULD, they didn't stop to think if they SHOULD.

The MOST BURNING QUESTION IN ALL OF DRAGON BALL FANDOM, on an all-new Final Forum Podcast... "Is the novelization of Dragon Power, the 1988 US port of the NES video game Shenron no Nazo, any good?" Check it out NOW wherever you get your podcasts! finalforumpodcast.podbean.com/e/dragon-pow...

NOBODY CIRCLES THE WAGONS LIKE THE BUFFALO BILLS!!!! #BillsMafia #JoshAllen

Didn’t take pics because I’m dumb, but I had a great time today at Dragon Ball Mini-Con in Houston getting to moderate a Q&A with Tiffany Vollmer & Cynthia Cranz, host a panel & do our schtick, and be an over-the-top hype man for the cosplay showcase. Thanks @ccshouston.bsky.social for reaching out!

Friday Funny, non-Dragon Ball version.
