Look, I’m creative.
I write, I can do some other things. But can I sculpt a perfect diorama of one
of the best fighting moments in Dragon Ball?
No, I can’t. But Dr. Garuda certainly can.
If you’re a Dragon Ball fan, you know the moment (and if
you’re not I’ll be vague to avoid spoilers). That pivotal moment of the
Tournament of Power at the end of Super,
featuring two members of our team, Goku and Freeza, and the big baddie, Jiren.
It’s dramatic, fun, and dynamic, one of the most compelling moments of
animation the Akira Toriyama-created series has ever gotten. And Dr. Garuda, a
sculptor and YouTuber, has an amazing video of their own diorama recreation of
the moment, which is just as elegant and dramatic as the original.
Dr. Garuda’s work is
meticulous and stunning, and it’s showcased here in detail over a twenty minute
time lapse from initial molding, to painting, to the final arrangement of the
figures. Goku, Freeza, and Jiren all look recognizably themselves, with all the
details absolutely on point. This would be an amazing desk centerpiece, and it
rivals the work of any professional action figure or sculpture vendor around. Dragon Ball Super is over, and seems to not be
returning any time soon (in animation, at least). But we at least have amazing
art to remember it by.
