DragonBall Z Key Chain

Mike Grist Japan, Toys / Games 10 Comments

And lo, let there be Dragonball Z.

Dragonball Z is some kind of Pokemon copy, with weird powers being stored inside little balls that folks keep in their pockets. I’ll admit I don’t know anything about the genre- but that doesn’t preclude me from buying some of its bits and pieces. Also I know there is a Dragonball Z movie coming out- seems a Hollywood version so you get more bang for your ball.

This is another keychain you can win!

Winnable.

Whosoever likes Dragonball, that person shall also like Dragonball Z.

Anything I say about this topic will be colored by the fact that I probably made it up.

Is Dragonball Z anything like He-man? This is something I have often heard. Somebody once compared Dragonball Z to Jayce and the wheeled warriors, a show I loved from my youth.

No-one has ever compared Dragonball Z to the A-team. That is bad news for Dragonball Z.

By the power of Dragonball Z!

  1. Dragon Ball Z is no way near a Pokemon copy. Dragon Ball Z is the continuation of Dragon Ball which was first created in the mid 80s. To explain it in a couple of sentences, it is that they story revolves around a guy named Goku and him and his friends fighting whatever baddies appear. As for the Dragon Ball’s themsleves, there are 7 and if you collect them all then you can summon a dragon that can grant you one wish. The dragon balls then all disperse and lay dormant for 1 year.

  2. oh, and I forgot to mention, that the whole concept of Dragon Ball was inspired by the Chinese folk story “Journey to the West”

    Adrian- Thanks, and thanks for the link, you’re in the tombola!

    Miki- No doubt you are right- thanks for correcting me 😉 I thought it sounded similar because of Pokemon living in balls too.

  4. no problem~ i’m a fan of the series if you coulnd’t all ready tell 🙂
    btw, your keychain is one of the symbols that appears on goku’s clothing in the series. It stands for King Kai, one of his mentors.
    界王 kai + ou = world + king
    it just looks funny because it’s on top of each other and in a circle.
