Dragon Power Novelization (S4E23)

Listen Later

What happens when an independent artist unofficially adapts a Dragon Ball-free adaptation of a Dragon Ball video game into a light novel? Did that question even make sense?

 

Jelli and Bekinney are taking a quick break from breaking down Akira Toriyama's worldwide manga and anime phenomenon Dragon Ball Z by looking at a novelization of the NES game: Dragon Power, inspired by the Worlds of Power book series.

In this episode:

  • Jelli and Bekinney pass through an asteroid belt
  • The Worlds of Power Book series, from its inception as an idea inspired by Seth Godin's conversations with his nephew about reading to its ultimate success
  • Nintendo's decision to pass on the Worlds of Power licensing
  • Random House's Godzilla books
  • A discussion of Quan Millz and Chuck Tingle
  • and more, including some general pop culture, trivia, and editorializing, as usual 

    • Join us as we continue to uncover the cultural meanings, publication facts, inspirations and more behind the wildly popular Dragon Ball franchise.
