Awesome Dragon Ball

An artist from Nghệ Nhân Âu Lạc Woodart Vietnam goes Super Saiyan on a block of wood, carving an impressive sculpture of Dragon Ball’s spiky-haired protagonist Goku. His weapons of choice? A chainsaw, an angle grinder, chisels, and a Dremel rotary tool.

Toy replicas of Dragon Ball Z‘s iconic Saiyan Scouter are a dime a dozen, but most of them use a headband to stay on your head. Foam lover Odin Abbott used craft materials to make a Scouter that hangs on his ear. The key is to add a piece that’s similar to earphone grips.

(PG-13) Before it became Always Someone Better: The Franchise, the adventures of Son Goku started off on a nobler foot. Dragon Ball was partially inspired by Journey to the West. Wisecrack explains the influence of Buddhist philosophy in both artworks.

Man at Arms: Reforged went super saiyan to make a spot-on replica of Tapion and Trunks’ Brave Sword from the Dragon Ball franchise. It’s a relatively simple build, but they had to do a ton of grinding to get its sharp lines just right.
