Itajaga is a potato snack that comes with collectible, metallic-plastic cards. Dragon Ball has several volumes, this being Vol. 4. There’s 30 cards to collect.

Each pack comes with a large potato snack in a plastic tray. It tastes like crisps and looks like a cracker. Underneath the tray is a metallic card.
The packaging has 3 variants, featuring Dragonball Z, Dragonball GT and Dragonball Super: Super Hero! artwork.

There’s 2 SSR (Super Special Rare) cards featuring Goku’s special attacks, 3 SR (Super Rare) cards featuring Gogeta and Super Saiyan 4 Goku & Vegeta with gold foil, 4 CR (Concept Rare) cards which feature Akira Toriyama’s artwork from the Manga and 4 R (Rare) cards featuring the Dragonball Super: Super Hero! movie and 17 N (Normal) cards featuring characters from Dragonball Z, Dragonball Super and Dragonball GT. This totals 30 cards to collect.

I got 3/30.

4-06 N Tapion & Hirudegan

The back has a screenshot of the film Dragonball Z: Wrath of the Dragon of Tapion playing the flute and reads:
“Please! Let me die!
Tapion Hirudegarn
The hero of Konats who once sealed Hirudegarn away. He fought against Hirudegarn using the Sealing Ocarina and the Legendary Sword. He sealed Hirudegarn’s upper body within his own body, and when Hirudegarn’s resurrection drew near, he entrusted the sword to Trunks and urged him to kill him.”

4-10 N Beerus

The back has a screenshot of Dragonball Super of Beerus rushing forward and reads:
“Goodbye forever, people of Earth
Beerus
One of the Gods of Destruction. He became interested in Super Saiyan God due to a prophecy, and fought a fierce battle with Son Goku, who became Super Saiyan God, and held the Earth hostage to destroy it. He possessed great strength that surpasses that of a Super Saiyan God, but he also has a weakness for Earth food.”

4-13 R Son Gohan [ Beast ]

The back has a screenshot of Dragonball Super: Super Hero! of Beast Gohan doing a Makankosappo and reads:
“Makankosappo~!!!
Son Gohan Beast
Son Gohan awakens when Piccolo is in danger. He shows overwhelming fighting power by deflecting Cell Max’s attack with one hand and frightening him with a single kick. In the end, he finishes him off by piercing his head, a weak spot, with his Makankosappo.”

I always like little collectables that come with candy. They are usually cheap and hard to find later because they are so niche (I still want to gain more of these Pokémon dia‘s that came with biscuits!). So I always look at the Asian snacks to find any that come with freebies, like these cards.

I found these in an Asian supermarket in the Netherlands. I had seen similar before, but this was the first Dragon Ball series I found. I grabbed a pack of each design, and hoped for the best. Because it has also Dragonball, Z and GT on the packaging, I hoped for not just Super.

I pulled Tapion first, which I’m very pleased with! Then I got Gohan. Not a huge fan of this design, but happy I pulled a Rare. And lastly I got Beerus.

The cards are quite nice and shiny looking, with interesting textures. Unfortunately these aren’t available near me so I likely won’t be getting more of these. If I find them of course I will consider it. I do love the CR cards! Apart from them Tapion is my fav, so I’m happy I pulled him at least. It’s giving me a real nostalgic fun, of buying card packs / snacks and trying to get them all just like when I was a young teen.

The potato snack however is not my thing.
