The most unexpected video of the year has to do with David Bisbal, ‘Dragon Ball,’ and the Cell saga

“I liked the Cell tournament a lot, afterward they went crazy”

It seems that we had already had enough of David Bisbal in 2023 after his viral “How are the machines, first of all,” but, on the brink of a new edition of ‘Operación Triunfo,’ the singer seems not to tire of giving us epic moments every time a microphone is put in front of him. Taking advantage of promoting his documentary, he has granted interviews to everyone. Including Twitch.

Let’s go with Latin enthusiasm

During the Latin Grammys, Illojuan, the famous streamer, interrupted him midway through his round of interviews to ask a globally resonant question, one of those that defines people. “Your favorite Dragon Ball saga, what is it?” And his answer makes perfect sense. After a while of contemplating, Bisbal ended up saying what we all think.

I really liked the Cell Games tournament, after that, they’ve gone crazy,” referring to ‘Dragon Ball Super‘ (though surprisingly, not to the Boo saga in ‘Dragon Ball Z,’ which is a whole different story). “Now with all the different worlds, time travel, and everything, it’s all become too much for me, honestly.”

In fact, he even has an explanation to justify why that’s his favorite saga: “I really liked even the Cell Games because they gave protagonism to Gohan.” If you’ve also pictured David Bisbal eating cereal on a Saturday morning at 44, you’re on my team. And he is too, while we’re at it. Now, please, let’s take him to a special program of the saga to ask him about his opinion on ‘Dragon Ball Daima, the second part of ‘Super’, and what’s yet to come. The Latin Grammys were great and all, but here we are, diligently searching for the Dragon Ball.

Beyond the Music: David Bisbal’s Fascinating Persona as a Machine in the Entertainment Industry

It has been the best meme of 2023 so far: David Bisbal enters the dressing room of the WiZink Center, where the Primavera Pop festival sponsored by Los 40 was being held and says “How are the machines? First of all, are you all right? Come on, let’s take a picture”. In fact, for the first time in a long time, everyone who has spoken about the singer has been to extol his virtues. However, it is not the first time that Bisbal has given us memes showing us that, why deny it, he is a machine.

Feeling the anthem of Spai

Neither put lyrics to it as Marta Sánchez did nor extol patriotic values in outlandish ways: David Bisbal came out of the gym and in an Instagram story under the text “Spain” sang every note of the anthem as if feeling them deep in his soul. There is no October 12 that Bisbal does not return to Twitter. With good reason.

Child Jesus

Year 2004. A Bisbal who only two years after his appearance in ‘Operation Triumph‘ went to Tres Cantos to participate in a living nativity scene absolutely tropospheric: Ana Torroja as the Virgin Mary, El Sevilla as St. Joseph, Estopa as the little angels, Malú as the shepherdess… And our protagonist as the Baby Jesus. He can’t help being a machine.

Dancing pharmacy

In 2002, a young David Bisbal, who at that time was touring Spain with the Expresiones Orchestra, stood out by jumping, bouncing and giving his all on stage. And as proof, the casting of ‘Operación Triunfo’ in which he showed what he knew how to do. What he didn’t expect was that twenty years later he would go viral because his dancing would go with any music. Particularly with ‘Farmacia de guardia’, as Lola Indigo showed in ‘La resistencia’.

The streets of Egypt

David Bisbal, in his traveling facet, became the talk of Twitter in 2011 after his socio-political commentary on the popular revolt that led to the end of Hosni Mubarak’s dictatorship: “Never have the pyramids of Egypt been so little traveled, hopefully soon the revolt will end“. For days #turismobisbal was trending topic, and only dared to say that he had never been to the country ten years later, in ‘La Sexta Noche’, where he confessed his passion for Ramses II. Another machine.

Yatekomo, Yatekomo

The proof that Bisbal is much more than a singer, a pop culture star, is his ability to laugh at himself. And nowhere more so than in the Yatekomo ad to the rhythm of ‘Bulería‘, which left its mark on the collective imagination. It was not the only ad in which he showed his face with his consequent joke, or don’t you remember that “Milk, cocoa, hazelnuts and sugar” intoned as if they were the most romantic song in the world?

This is unbelievable

Before the machines, the noodles, his cameo in ‘Torrente 4’ and Egypt, Bisbal was the most imitated of the academy of ‘Operación Triunfo’ (along with the cries of Bustamante) for a phrase that haunts him to this day: “This is incredible”. One of the first memes in the history of Spain and that still resonates now. And it is time to admit that it is an essential piece to understand the Spanish pop culture. And not only because of the “pop”.
