*raises hand*

I would like to note that I only just recently picked up the last dvd of this particural ittle saga, so thus is why I have yet to see it in Japanese. I have however had the uncut dub tapes for several years > <

I'm almost done my singles collection. Almost. 15 more and I'm marathonning this little SOB and then I'll have finally seen...... most of it.... in Japanese. I'm getting there.

Don't lose heart, I only recently completed my singles collection, and then went on to watch five or so episodes everyday until I got to GT...then I kinda slowed down..

Anyway, as for Garlic Jr. in Japanese, the early episodes in the arc are still kinda hard to watch, but once everything kicks off and Piccolo starts to fight Garlic Jr. it gets a whole lot easier to watch.

Yeah, I agree with you there, I actually flipped through a few episodes earlier, and one thing I noticed was that each time she appears, the pace of the story slows to an absolute crawl, she felt like filler within filler to me.

Awww I loved her dumb bimbo act. She was so annoying but that was part of her charachter. I also laughed at the running gag of Marron petting Korin and chilling him out.

Here's an answer why the humans that Goku met on Dragonball were not noticing it.

GT hates any earth fairy aside from the families and Kuririn so they decided to erase Yamcha and Tenshinhan's memories of Goku.

I mean, look at ther faces after they arrived on Baby's planet and when Goku was leaving, they look like "I don't know who that guy is, I remember the voice but I can't remember the face"

(tries to remeber the evens of 746 and 750 respectavely and fails!!)

If Toriyama was around, he would have made them remember just as much as Upa , Suno, Android 8 and the others did.

I saw Upa and the others smile.

Your posts are unintentionally hilarious, because the only alternate definition of "fairy" I know is an extremely flamboyant gay man.

That's arguable.

Also I know the Garlic Junior saga is filler, but I wondered why Tenshinhan and Chaozu didn't feel the earth threatened by Garlic Junior and his henchman. Kind of weird for them not showing up. They probably got controlled by the black water mist, but isn't Tenshinhan smart to it avoid just like Gohan and Piccolo. Kuririn got lucky since he was under water and thus not affecting him.

I always just figured they got hit but didn't impact the story due to being in the middle of nowhere. Just picture a rabid Ten and Chaozu prowling the mountains.

Plowing eachother? No that's not right. Not here.

Vegeta was probably scared of Brolly.

Thanks

My term "Earth Fairy" is my coin term for "Humans" or "Earthlings". I don't remember where I got that from but I use this nickname for humans.

Hey guys Maron is a character for anime filler, right? She was introduced in the first episode of Garlic Junior and the last time she was shown, she was looking for Kuririn in Roshi's house. She never appeares in the at all in the manga, does she?

That's right. She was filler only.
