Hah! Just when I thought I’d seen everything, now they’ve turned Dragon Ball into drinkware. That’s right, clear rubber coasters featuring Kakarot and the rest of his ridiculous crew are crashing into Gashapon® vending machines across Japan this September. Because apparently, nothing is safe from merchandising.
Dragon Ball Clear Rubber Coasters
They’re about 10cm in size, perfect for protecting your table from whatever weak beverage you’re sipping while watching reruns of Goku saving the day again. But I’ll admit, the designs are… nostalgic.
The lineup includes seven infamous faces and moments:
- Goku & Bulma (the beginning of the madness)
- Goku & Chi-Chi (the poor woman who married him)
- Master Roshi (still a pervert)
- Goku (of course)
- Lunch (good luck predicting her mood)
- Pilaf (still trying, still failing)
- Goku & Krillin (the original bald sidekick)
Toss them on your desk, your dinner table, your gravity chamber, whatever. At least they’re useful.
Details:
- Release Date: Starts early September 2025 (store availability may vary)
- Price: 400 yen (tax included)
- Where: Flat Gashapon® vending machines
- More Info: Official Gashapon “Dragon Ball” site
So go ahead, collect them all if you must. Just don’t let Kakarot’s goofy smile distract you during training. Weakness starts with coasters and ends with defeat.
