Why a Dragon Ball party?

Supernaturally powerful warriors who save the world. Seven mystical spheres—the Dragon Balls—that summon the dragon Shenlong, who can grant wishes. Who hasn’t sometimes dreamed of being strong enough to overcome every obstacle? And surely you, too, have secretly wished for something. With the seven Dragon Balls and Shenlong, it could come true.

It’s not just children who are fascinated by the Dragon Ball series. For years, it has been a worldwide phenomenon centered on the ongoing battle between good and evil. Many children of the 1990s still love Son Goku and his friends as adults today and eagerly follow every new

  • The Saiyans and Earth

    Although Son Goku grows up on Earth, he is not human but a Saiyan. He originally comes from the planet Vegeta. Some other characters are also not from Earth: the Earth's god and the Demon King Piccolo are both Namekians from the planet Namek.

    Over the course of the Dragon Ball series, we meet many more aliens who often want to attack Earth. Son Goku and his friends face these battles to protect their home. Along the way, they gain new allies. One example is the prince of the Saiyans—Vegeta. He becomes Son Goku's greatest rival and strongest ally.

    Since the Saiyans are a warrior race, they are all supernaturally strong. With enough training, they can even reach transformation stages: Oozaru, Super Saiyan, Ultra Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan God, and Super Saiyan Blue.

  • The backgrounds from Dragon Ball

    The creator of Dragon Ball, Akira Toriyama, based his story about Son Goku and the Dragon Balls on ancient Chinese folktales and the legend of the Monkey King, Sun Wukong. The Monkey King is also very well known in Japan, where he is called Son Goku. His story is told in “Journey to the West.”

    Dragon Ball was originally intended to be a parody of the legend of Son Goku. However, the creator eventually felt that it was too similar to the original. Since he preferred fantasy worlds, he created his own world. Nevertheless, there are still many similarities. In the original Dragon Ball series in particular, the main character Son Goku has a monkey tail. He is trained in martial arts and is supernaturally strong. He also possesses a staff that changes size and can fly through the air on a cloud.

    Many other elements from the legend also appear in altered form in Dragon Ball—for example, Oolong’s ability to transform and the Ox-King’s flaming mountain.

Plan a Dragon Ball party

Have you decided to have a Dragon Ball party? Whether it’s a birthday surprise, a themed party, or a class celebration, the first challenge to master is
planning. These things are important:

  1. What kind of party will it be? Birthday party, themed party, or carnival party?
  2. How many guests would you like to invite?
  3. When and where do you want to celebrate?
  4. What budget do you have for the party?
  5. Will it be a children’s or adults’ party?

Once these questions have been answered, it’s time to get started with the preparations!

  • Dragon Ball party for children

    Positive role models are very important for children. With his sunny disposition and strong will, Son Goku easily wins the hearts of children and teenagers. And Dragon Ball features many other characters: Piccolo, Yamcha, Vegeta, Son Gohan, Son Goten, and Trunks are just a few.

    There are also exciting characters for young female warriors, such as Chi-Chi, a warrior who later becomes Son Goku’s wife. Another special woman in Dragon Ball is Bulma, the clever inventor and Vegeta’s girlfriend. There’s something for everyone.

  • Dragon Ball party for adults

    Even for adults, an adventure story like Dragon Ball can be a source of inspiration. Experience the exciting battles of Son Goku and his friends and feel young and carefree again.

    If you were already fascinated as a child by powerful warriors and the battle between good and evil, Dragon Ball offers plenty of fun and excitement. Give your inner child the joy of cheering on your favorite heroes.

An invitation in Saiyan style

The most important questions—date, venue, and number of guests—have been settled. Now you can send out invitations. Let your creativity run free. For example, you can make cards shaped like a Dragon Ball or featuring the faces of the various Saiyans. For adults, you can also create a digital invitation.

The invitation should include all the important information: location, date, time, and whether Dragon Ball costumes are requested.

Ideas for Dragon Ball decorations

Fantastic decorations can turn even the simplest room into a party highlight. That’s why there are various options for impressive Dragon Ball decorations.

The anime’s colors—golden yellow and red—make a wonderful base for all kinds of embellishments. Hang up Dragon Ball garlands or swirls featuring the individual characters from the series. And how about Son Goku congratulating the birthday child personally on a banner?

Of course, good food is also part of a great party. Set the table with a cool Dragon Ball tablecloth. Add napkins featuring motifs such as the Dragon Balls. Paper tableware is especially worthwhile for children’s parties, in case things get a little wild with the young warriors. Balloons in matching colors complete the arrangement perfectly.

The strongest outfit for the party

Children love stepping into the roles of their heroes. With a costume of Son Goku, Vegeta, or Piccolo, they can immerse themselves in the world of Dragon Ball for a few hours. The coolest part? They can easily recreate scenes.

Some adults also enjoy leaving their often stressful everyday lives behind with a different outfit. They could dress up as an adult Son Goku or Vegeta themselves. Or how about the old martial arts teacher, Master Roshi? Then you can give the little ones a few training lessons as well.

Party games and entertainment for Dragon Ball fans of all ages

To make the Dragon Ball party a hit, prepare a few fun games. Otherwise, the little heroes might get the idea of switching to the side of evil.

You can organize small competitions: Who can
run the fastest or jump the highest? Who can lift the heaviest stone?
That’s practically like real Dragon Ball training. Many children’s games can also be easily adapted to the Dragon Ball theme.

Adults usually don’t need quite as much exercise. A costume party with a dance area and a costume contest is one option. You can also organize a cool photo shoot so everyone has fantastic memories of the party. If you’d prefer something more relaxed, hold an anime marathon in a small group.

With all that adventure, don’t forget delicious snacks and drinks. Otherwise, hungry warriors might raid the kitchen.

Party activities:

  • Children’s games with a Saiyan twist
  • Competitions: costumes, sporting activities, etc.
  • Dance party
  • Photo shoot
  • Anime marathon
