The weirdest moment in the entire series

Post by Amigo Ten » Wed Sep 16, 2009 1:07 pm

Someone pointed this out to me not long ago. I'd never even thought about it before, which it's surprising because on reflection it's such a massively bizarre moment.

When King Piccolo is looking for the Dragonballs, and Roshi, Tien and Chaozu are hiding from him, Tien wants to fight. But Roshi knows that would be foolish. So what does he do? He pulls a can a anti-Tien spray out of nowhere and sprays him in the face! Why the hell is Roshi carrying around a can of gas that paralyzes people? Did he have that on him the whole time? Does he take it everywhere with him?

You never know when you have some "quiet time" with a lady.

So my guess is he's got it with him all the time, just in case. :wink:

X2! That is the weirdest scene ever in Dragonball. It doesn't even fell Dragonball to me. I mean how the hell a spray effects someone who is strong as hell?

Sometimes, when you realise just how pervy Roshi really is, it can get scary. 0_0. He's almost as bad as Quagmire. :-P

Oh God... it's been years since I've seen Family Guy, but you reminded me of the scene where he drugs a bitch's drink and then drag her to cabin... scary...!!

Here's another weird thing: The radar can detect a ball hidden under thousand feet of rocks in the ocean but can't detect it inside an animal's stomach.

As strong as he may be he still needed to breath and he wasn`t immune to poison and etc.

However, Roshi stated that he would sleep a while but through just will power he managed to stay awake (although paralyzed) and see the outcome of the battle.

Its far stranger that Roshi had the can to begin with.

Oh! Gigidi!

Yeah, thinking of the possibilities of why Roshi might be carrying that can, its best just not to think about it :lol:

I never considered he might keep it for... other kinds of emergencies. Does make you wonder though. Like that scene where Lunch is knocked unconscious. How far would he have gone if Goku hadn't called him away?

Same with Oolong. He did actually drug Bulma at one point.

Bulma flashing Roshi the first time.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

I've never even seen it, but off the top of my head I have to go with Tenshinhan instigating something as random as the Volleyball attack.

The most awkward moment, I have said this before, when Bulma hid a diamond in panties.

Oh that's not the awkward part. Later she removes it and gives to Krillin and then he sniffs it.

And that's NOT the awkward part. He later tells Bulma "I can tell from the smell where you hid it."

AAAAAGGGGHHHH! He's a kid! How could he know what THAT smells like unless...Oh my God.

There's an extra layer of freaky added onto that because Krillian doesn't have a nose.

Isn't that just a line from those bad scanslations? The anime subs are different.

This makes me think, Roshi should've used that paralyzing stuff on Daimaou, then either Mafuba or kill him. :D

That scene where Oolong attempts to literally drug and molest Bulma was going a bit too far for my taste. That was definitely the weirdest moment in my book.

I mean it didn't even look like a joke.
