American department store chain Macy’s is putting the finishing touches on this year’s Thanksgiving Day parade, an annual tradition that bridges together elaborate floats, massive balloons that feature the most recognizable figures in pop culture, and marching bands that entertain attendees and viewers alike at home.
For this year’s installment and 96th overall, the department store will once again be featuring Goku from the 2018 Dragon Ball Super: Broly feature film, in his Super Saiyan Blue form. This ballooon was first featured in the parade all the way back in 2018.
