While the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has given us a number of spectacles to ring in 2020’s Turkey Day, Dragon Ball fans were heartbroken to see that Son Goku, the Saiyan protagonist of Akira Toriyama’s popular Shonen series, was nowhere to be found this year! Two years ago, to celebrate the arrival of Dragon Ball Super: Broly, the franchise unleashed Super Saiyan Blue Goku upon an unsuspecting New York City to celebrate the third feature length film of the sequel series that added the Legendary Super Saiyan of Broly to the main continuity of the series!

Goku’s balloon has been removed from the #MacysDayParade in protest over his controversial choice to give Moro a Senzu Bean.

Good Times
Remember in the 2018 Macy’s parade when they had the Goku balloon and the anchor said “super cyan goku”

The Perfect Time of Year
I LOVE IT WHEN THEY BRING OUT THE GOKU BALLOON BECAUSE THE ANNOUNCERS HAVE TO PRETEND TO KNOW WHAT THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT IT’S MY FAVORITE THING EVERY YEAR

Some Folks Are Taking It Hard
It sucks that no Goku balloon float in this year’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Worst Thanksgiving Day Parade ever.
