« Goku to New York“, This isn’t the next Dragon Ball Super arc, but Super Saiyan Blue’s giant balloon returns to Macy’s 95th Thanksgiving parade. Remember, in 2018 and 2019, we had video followed this same Goku’s giant balloon flying over the streets of New York on the occasion of the Thanksgiving parades organized by the American chain of stores Macy’s. Last year for the 94th parade, Goku was not in attendance, but he is now confirmed for this year’s parade, which will take place next month.
Macy’s 95th Thanksgiving Parade will take place this year on Thursday, November 25, from 9:00 a.m. to noon (local time), and you can follow it live on the streets of New York, or on NBC. We are told that the legendary hero of the Dragon Ball franchise is returning for a new parade. Macy’s also explains that the Dragon Ball series first aired in the United States 25 years ago, and that its hero, Son Goku, is a peaceful, caring, loving, and honest Saiyan warrior – much like the Thanksgiving celebrations.
In the same idea, the chain Macy’s explains that Goku’s balloon is in Super Saiyan Blue, symbol of a new era in the Dragon Ball franchise. As such, we could even interpret this choice as a symbol of renewal and hope, on this holiday in the United States.
Goku’s giant balloon in a few figures
To give you an idea of the impressive size of this giant Goku in Super Saiyan Blue, here are some rather exceptional figures on its dimensions. Up and down, this Goku therefore measures:
- 17 meters high, which is as high as a 5-story building.
- 21 meters long, or up to 12 bikes.
- 11 meters wide, or as wide as 7 taxis.

Thanksgiving, and bre…
Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrated in the United States on the fourth Thursday in November. This year, it will take place on November 25, 2021. Historically, Thanksgiving was a feast day in European peasant societies during which we thanked God with prayers and rejoicing for the blessings we had received during the year. This celebration is now secular in North America, with administrations and most businesses closed on this day, which has been a public holiday in the United States since 1941.
