Shenron has long been a part of the Dragon Ball franchise, rising when the seven Dragon Balls were collected to grant a wish, and one rising rapper, Sauce Walka, has shown his love of both the dragon and the anime franchise itself by purchasing an insanely expensive necklace of the Akira Toriyama creation. Though Shenron might be overshadowed by the dragon spawned from the Super Dragon Balls, it remains a stalwart part of the franchise and we definitely haven't seen the last of the dragon that has helped the Z Fighters out of a pinch more than a few times.

Numerous celebrities have worn their love of anime on their sleeve in the past few years, with the likes of Megan Thee Stallion, John Boyega, Michael B. Jordan, and countless others expressing their love of the mediums while also going so far as to create fashion lines within several Shonen worlds. Naruto, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Inuyasha, and of course Dragon Ball are only a few of the series that celebrities have found themselves gravitating toward, and this $600,000 chain shown off by Sauce Walka certainly proves just how much the rapper loves the series created by Akira Toriyama that continues to tell the story of the Z Fighters to this day.

Twitter User Rap All Stars shared this hilarious video where Sauce Walka shows off his insanely expensive chain that not only pays homage to Dragon Ball with the inclusion of Shenron, but also gives a nod to the video game franchise of Street Fighter by including the insanely powerful warrior known as Akuma:

Though Dragon Ball Super's return to anime is still up in the air, fans are following along with the story currently taking place in its manga, which has brought the Moro Arc to a conclusion and is introducing us to a new saga known as the "Granolah The Survivor Arc". With the arrival of this arc on the horizon, Weekly Shonen Jump is already hinting that we'll see a warrior arrive who is far stronger than Son Goku, even with his mastery of Ultra Instinct.

What do you think of this insane Shenron chain? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly on Twitter @EVComedy to talk all things comics, anime, and the world of Dragon Ball!
