## Resource

France and Saudi Arabia are teaming up on a jaw-dropping, multi-billion-dollar theme park near Paris—with one park inspired by Dragon Ball—despite Japan’s conspicuous silence. President Macron is all in, touting France’s manga-loving culture, but experts question the deal’s feasibility without Japanese license holders’ approval. Unlike a similar Saudi project that partnered with a Japanese studio, this one’s lack of Japanese involvement has fans and analysts puzzled. And with Saudi funding raising eyebrows over “parkwashing” and thematic contradictions, the future of this ambitious park hangs in the balance—despite France’s undeniable love for anime.
