Bangkok goes super saiyan with Dragon Ball exhibition

Time Out11 hours ago
2025 is the year Japanese pop culture takes over Bangkok. Fresh off the nostalgic 100% Doraemon & Friends Tour and the intense Attack on Titan Final Exhibition, the city is now bracing for a true legend: Dragon Ball. And this isn't just any fan event – it's the official launch of the Dragon Ball Asia Tour, with the Big Mango as its very first stop.
Taking place until October 19, the showcase is licensed by Capsule Corporation Tokyo and Toei Animation and can be found at Attraction Hall on the sixth floor of Iconsiam. Spanning more than 2,000 square meters, it's a tribute to one of the most legendary franchises in anime history all under the concept 'Heroes Rise'.
Fans can expect an immersive journey through all four arcs of the Dragon Ball saga from original to Super. Iconic battle scenes are brought to life through elaborate set recreations and interactive displays. Whether it's stepping into the arena of the World Martial Arts Tournament or standing on the battlefield of Planet Namek, you'll feel like you've jumped straight into the anime.
The exhibition also features life-sized character statues, including Goku, Vegeta, Frieza and Cell, each sculpted with attention to detail and mid-battle energy. You can strike your best fighting pose alongside them or just bask in the aura of a Super Saiyan up close.
But this isn't just about nostalgia. Visitors can test their strength and agility in combat-themed mini games, practice the fusion dance or unleash their very own Kamehameha. Using the exhibition's mobile app, fans can take on missions to collect Dragon Balls that unlock special in-exhibit rewards.
And of course, the experience wouldn't be complete without exclusive merch. The show offers a range of limited-edition collectibles available only on-site
Created by Japanese manga artist, Akira Toriyama, Dragon Ball began as a manga in 1984 and quickly evolved into a global powerhouse, spawning countless anime series, films, games and merchandise. For over four decades, its characters have transcended generations, becoming symbols of perseverance, friendship and the endless pursuit of strength.
Even now, the franchise continues to inspire, with both kids and grown-ups shouting 'Kamehameha!' and dreaming of going Super Saiyan. So, as the Dragon Ball Asia Tour powers up in the heart of the capital, it's time to celebrate the heroes we grew up with and the timeless energy they continue to bring to fans around the world.

Tesco's birthday cake sandwich is leaving shoppers divided

A new birthday cake sandwich has been spotted in the supermarket, with the word spreading across the internet. It comes just weeks after a similar "strange" strawberries and cream sandwich from M&S also made headlines. The new Tesco cake is causing a divide, with some shoppers loving it, but others not so much. A photo was shared of the new Tesco sandwich on the Money Saving Central Facebook group, which has already received hundreds of comments. One person said: "Absolutely not, just when strawberries and cream couldn't get worse." Another added: "Maybe if it was cake cut to look like a sandwich I'd have it but not if it's on bread. Yuck." The sandwich has also been discussed on the Tesco page on Reddit. One confused person said: "What am I actually looking at?" Another described the sandwich as "utter filth", and another said it was "weird". However, not everyone disagrees with the flavour, with some looking forward to trying it. "This reminds me of when I tried sprinkles on buttered bread. Game changer," said one. A second person said: "Is it just me who actually wants it." Some shoppers also compared it to Fairy Bread, which is popular in Australia. Often served at parties, it is sliced white bread spread with butter or margarine and covered with sprinkles. The divide over Tesco's new sandwich comes after the M&S strawberries and cream sandwich made waves in the supermarket community. The £2.80 'game-changing' limited edition Red Diamond Strawberry & Creme Sandwich was inspired by Japanese 'sweet sandos', or fruit sandwiches, M&S said. It is filled with the fruit and light whipped cream cheese on fluffy, sweetened bread.

M&S Food first sold freshly made sandwiches in the 1920s, and expanded sales with pre-packed sandwiches in the 1980s. The retailer's food halls have sold four billion sandwiches to date.
