Maybe the way to do it would be to make gummies rather than Jell-O. The ingredients would be mostly the same, you'd pretty much just be adding a bit of unflavored gelatin to the Jell-O mix to make it firmer.

@@TBustah Are... you actually getting mad because that's what it sounds like. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I didn't say it was a big deal.

Consider making the stars with partially dehydrated strawberries. Strawberry stars will be buoyant and thus will float on the top of the bottom half as it solidifies.

Yeah, you're supposed to mix the gelatin with cold water first, then slowly heat it up. I'd look at The King of Random's video on homemade gummy candy for reference. (May Grant Thompson rest in peace)
I'm surprised you didn't do this with Agar Agar, its firmer so they would be more solid looking when jiggled, also sense the stars float, they could have been added to the bottom half when it was poured so they would have been more centered rather than pressing them in
Shenron must find eating the Dragon Balls to just be another Tuesday for him. I can just imagine him thinking, "How is this not the most ridiculous way I've ever seen them used?"
King Piccolo swallowed some of them in OG Dragon Ball, but back then it was more like storage since he was able to regurgitate them just fine. Also as pointed out by another reply, Shenron and the Shadow Dragons from GT are distinctly separate beings despite "Shenron" also being part of the individual Shadow Dragons' names.
Hey Alvin, I think it'd be nice to see you recreate Studio Ghibli food again. It's been a while and there's several foods you could try, like the ramen from ponyo
I was expecting like... one of the hard shelled balloons or some kind of hard candy considering Goku chokes on one of these like they're some unearthly sized jawbreaker which ruins the magic slightly, but I see the intent and approve
Time for a "Botched" by Alvin. I really want to see him get exactly what he wants out of these. My midwestern jello-sense tells me you should try knox blox. Keep the pepper though, that's one I wouldn't have thought of. It's so cool that the flavor turned out nice.
when you add the stars, you should put bit of the jello on top of them and then let it set, then when they are semi set sen you pour the rest of the stuff, in to the mold then they stay in the middle, it is like working with resin,

I’ll be honest this one was rough to watch lol. Would like to see this tried again with better prior planning! Still they looked cool at the end and that’s what matters.
Alternate solution for the stars: after placing them, carefully and slowly pour a very thin layer over the stars, just enough to cover them, let that firm up and *then* pour in the rest for the other half.
This reminds me one time where as a child I watched dragon ball gt where goku swallowed a dragon ball WHOLE and the ball literally travelling through his throat. I was traumatized. (Oh wait now that I watched the video fully, this IS about that episode from Dragon ball GT)
GT love is great! The whole shadow dragon saga was easily one of the best parts of gt and a really cool way to make consequences for the character's actions throughout the series. GT was great, absolutely love it!
I feel like you need a “anime grandmaster” to comb though all the 80’s, 90’s, 2000’s & 2010’s anime’s to find all the food items. Like the fact we are bending rules here to do “dragonballs” feels like the anime knowledge is severely lacking for a show titled “anime with Alvin”.
Remember when Goku tried something clever only to almost die by choking on a Dragon Ball? His greatest enemy later that day would've been the *_diarrhea._*
I think you could have made raindrop cakes for this, actually! they're traditionally japanese, they have that perfect round shape you're looking for and they're vegetarian-friendly because they use agar-agar instead of gelatin! there are a lot of tutorials on how to make them out there but one of the more common ways to make them is to put the agar-agar mixture into a balloon, and once it's set, hold the balloon underwater and cut the bottom. Best of luck if you try this again!
Hmm, what you could do is make a star mold and make flavored jello inserts like strawberry or cherry. As for the ball itself, There's a popular dish called Raindrop cakes that would be absolute perfect. I believe it uses Agar-Agar as the thickening agent.
Maybe using a lower liquid ratio compared to the jello powder used would be better? Perhaps a dragonfruit flavored jello in order to be thematic? And since the stars float, you could add the stars right after you fill the first batch of moulds. Theyll stay on the surface but will still stick go the jello once it sets. Still dont get why the two jello pieces didnt stick. Though
Yeah less water would have made it set faster and have a firmer texture. As for why it didn't stick it is probably to the grease from his hand when he smashed the pepper in or maybe he should have heated the top layer of the bottom half to make it stick better
If this were truly accurate it would be split up into six forty-minute episodes of the Jello setting, and another three episodes of Alvin powering up after eating them
I think if you wanted to get the stars to stay in place you would place them on top of the set halves, then pour a little bit more of the jello on top, once it was set it would hold them in place so you could pour the rest in.
Nice try. I would have expected you to make spherical jello then use a syringe to inject tiny balls of red juice...since eating plain orange spherical jello can't be all that great, but if they had tiny pockets of incredible flavor, they just might boost your hype a lil' bit more. I feel like this could have been a fun science project on how to create crystals/stars inside a jello mold. That, or they could have been made more accurately as gigantic jaw-breakers (which would be an amazing feat if someone swallowed a jaw breaker...and didn't choke to death ;p).
You do realize you're going to have to do every DBZ main villain (Except Cell) as Goku has a bad habit of using his chompers. See you for the Frezia Flavoured fun!
I appreciate the full admittance of that scene being used as an excuse to make dragon balls. Also cannot blame you for jumping on any validation to make your own dragon balls.
