I think Yajirobei's name comes from an early 19th century Japanese novel by Jippensha Ikku called Hizakurige which is sort of the Huckelberry Finn of Japan. One of the main characters is a fat peasant named Yajirobei. I'm pretty sure this is who Yajirobei's supposed to be loosely based on but I've ...

It's not just style but ability. I mean when you seriously look at the artwork from the fights from the Piccolo Daimao saga to the end of DBZ, it's really impressive. I mean when you watch the fights in the Anime, you're amazed at how quick the movements are and Toriyama is completly able to ...

It really angers me that Toriyama doesn't get the respect he deserves. If you don't like his stuff because of the storyline and charcters that's another story, but he should at least get some respect for his artwork. In my opinion Toriyama is one of the greatest Manga artist of all time (Leiji ...

2.Tenshinhan Vs. Son Goku
3.Ma Junyaa vs. Son Goku
4. Tao Pai Pai vs. Son Goku
5. Jackie Chun vs. Son ...

One of the funniest and most disturbing moments in DB is when General Blue crashes in Penguin Village and he runs into that smart kid (I forget his name) and in his head you hear him talking about how the kid's "just his type" and everything.

Another thing I'd like to point out about the Tao Pai Pai fight is its really the first multi episode fight in DB other than Goku vs. Jackie Chun. But the reason I think that the 22nd Budokai is an even bigger shift in the series is because the Tao Pai Pai fight and the murder of Upa's father was ...

When you look at the huge contrast between the storyline, fighting, and dramatic elements in DragonBall (especially the earlier episodes) and Dragonball Z you see how interesting the evolution of DB really is. I think it's really ironic that something which was originally intended to be a gag-manga ...
