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.
