Goku is making a comeback at this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Last year, Luffy made his debut as a float in the parade, but this time it’s Goku from Dragon Ball Z who will be returning for more fun. The 98th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, scheduled for November 28, will feature a 70.5-feet long, 33-feet wide, and 41.5-feet tall balloon of Goku.
In the past, Goku appeared in the parade in his Super Saiyan Blue form, but this year he will be seen in his classic look. This change is in honor of the 40th anniversary of Akira Toriyama’s legendary series. Following the premiere of Dragon Ball DAIMA on October 11, fans can expect to see Goku with his signature black hair and orange gi.
If you are unable to attend the parade in person, you can still catch a glimpse of Goku flying high by watching the 98th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on NBC in the U.S. or streaming it on Peacock. For those unfamiliar with Dragon Ball Z, Crunchyroll provides a brief summary of the plot: Goku, the planet’s strongest fighter, protects humanity from evil villains from outer space with the help of the Z-Fighters. Together, they embark on a quest to find the magic powers of the seven Dragon Balls.

Whether you’re a long-time fan of Dragon Ball Z or simply enjoy watching the parade, Goku’s return is sure to be a highlight of the event.
