Homages to Dragonball....in Dragonball

[Kamiccolo9]

So, InfernalVegito posted this in another thread, and I thought it was pretty cool.


So, are there any other moments like this in the manga or anime that reference an earlier event?

Haven't seen that one myself but I've seen these two posted here before:





These seem to be little Easter Eggs in the anime only I think, i quite like them, attention to detail and all that!

[Kamiccolo9]

Nice! I've seen the one of them punching each other, but I've never noticed the old man before.

[InfernalVegito]

That's really formidable that the animators pay attention to such details sometimes.

Boy, I bet Gohan sure wishes he had Kaioken here .

[Ajay]

That's interesting but could it also potentially be that Disney type re-use too?

Going off topic, but that reminds me of...

Am I the only one that sees Majin Vegeta's right arm longer than it should be? Any longer and he'll start being Slender Vegeta!

now that you mention it, yes.

Whoa, you're right! If you remove Goku's arm it's easier to see just how stretched out his arm is!

[Gyt Kaliba]

Clearly, what happened was, Babidi's mind control also granted Vegeta the powers of the Gum Gum Fruit.

[B]

Ew at Vegeta's arm.

This is an awesome thread! I did not even thing about these (except Goku/Vegeta Gohan/Buu one)

I remember looking at that a while ago and thinking the same. I guess it does the job though.

That old man ages backwards. o_o

Actually, the fourth panel says "Who is this man who gets younger in each Dragon Ball (anime, I suppose)?"

[Cold Skin]

It's pretty obvious and lots of you have seen this one, but in Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Kai, when Goku goes full power against Cell, the scene mimics the Cha-La Head-Cha-La opening with Goku focusing energy in his fist and then - as the camera moves away to the distance - he raises his arms and unleash some dome-like energy half-circle burst.

The comparison may not seem striking when written like that, but when seeing both animated scenes (or pictures of them), the hommage is so obvious that you guys can't have missed it if you've seen that moment of the Goku-Cell battle!

[Gyt Kaliba]

I remember that exact moment you're talking about Cold Skin. Believe it or not, I somehow never noticed that for years of watching the show - it was only when I went back and watched it subtitled that it dawned on me. Maybe because I was all the more focused due to having to read subs?

[Insertclevername]

I noticed it the first time I saw that. It sort of looks like foreshadowing if you didn't know any better.
