[Premium Bandai](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/authentic-boat-shoe) has unveiled the ‘Frieza Pod Cushion.’ This offering is a plush cushion that seats adults and children on the back of the tyrant Frieza, a character from the iconic [Dragon Ball series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragonball-collection). In order to provide fans with a pleasant experience, the ‘Frieza Pod Cushion’ has tiny beads within and is made of soft cotton.

 Another useful component of the cushion is a transparent, touch-responsive pocket at the front of the pod that allows users to insert their cell phones. Measuring 37.4 inches wide by 27.5 inches high, this offering can be used as a [desk chair, a lounge chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perron-pillo-lounge-chair), and more.

The Dragon Ball Z Friezapod Cushion Chair is currently available for pre-order from Premium Bandai until November 21 for a price of 29,700 JPY (about $200 USD).

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Anime-inspired Merchandise:** There's a rising demand for anime-inspired merchandise among fans, which could be leveraged by businesses.
- **Technology-enabled Furniture:** Integrating technology into decorative furniture can provide greater value and convenience for consumers.
- **Nostalgia Marketing:** By capitalizing on iconic TV-series like Dragon Ball, businesses can tap into a new group of consumers with purchasing power.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Home Decor:** Integrating anime-inspired decorative pillows and furniture can help businesses tap into new consumers with interests in pop culture.
- **Entertainment:** A growing fandom for anime opens opportunities in the entertainment industry, particularly in shows, streaming media or merchandise.
- **Gaming:** Gamers form a large part of the anime fan base and so there could be a demand for gaming products that combine the two, such as interactive themed gaming chairs.
