On April 1, 2026, the official Dragon Ball account posted on X (Social media) as an April Fool’s joke, announcing the start of pre-orders for the next-generation wearable device, “Scouter Pro Max.”
The Scouter is a fictional device that appears in the popular manga and anime “Dragon Ball.” It is known as an item worn on one eye that displays the opponent’s power level numerically. This particular device is said to have features such as “performance improves with each failed business negotiation” and “10 times faster during a full moon.”
A device similar to a scouter has already appeared.
While this device is fictional as it’s part of an April Fool’s Day prank, AI glasses that “display information in green text” already exist on the market.
Even Realities’ “Even G2,” released in November 2025, is an AI-powered pair of glasses that displays real-time information in green text and symbols within the user’s field of vision. It features a “conversation support” function that listens to conversations in real time and provides summaries and answer support.
In March 2026, a new feature called “Prep Notes” was added. By uploading materials before a meeting or business negotiation, relevant information is automatically displayed according to the flow of the conversation. It also supports the presentation of anticipated answers and on-the-spot fact-checking. You can access necessary information without touching your smartphone or taking your eyes off it.
While no smart glasses currently have the functionality to identify specific individuals and record data such as their combat capabilities, like a Scouter, their design and concept are increasingly resembling those found in fiction.
