The Stay Puft Marshmellow man appears in the background of the preliminaries of the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai in both the manga and anime.
I wipe it off the tile, the light is brighter this time, everything is 3D blasphemy.
My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up, this is not the way I picture me.
I can't control my shakes, how the hell did I get here? Something about this, so very wrong.
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this. Is it a dream or a memory?

Caught the bugger.

Goku and Kuririn look concerned over all the strange people surrounding them.

And as for Muten Roshi and Mutaito appearing in the news team, didn't really look 100% like them, but the woman in between them looks like the woman who came from the orphanage that came for those kids...

I decided to mix things up a bit and post one from DBZ.

Holy shit, the return of the Super Saiyan T-shirt!

I never noticed that before, but he appeared in the Cell arc somewhere...

The Super Saiyan shirt doesn't bother me. After all, it's small potatoes compared to all the "Dragon Ball"-related clothing and gear found in their world, and, most logic-stretching of all, the poster in West City advertising the Dragon Ball television series on Fuji TV!
Do you follow the most comprehensive and entertaining Dragon Ball analysis series on YouTube? If you do, you're smart and awesome and fairly attractive. If not, see what all the fuss is about without even having to leave Kanzenshuu:

When you see the this television before and after this specific angle, the regular excercise girl is on the screen.

Apparently poop jokes are a punishable crime in Dragon World. (Also, does anybody know what the name of the dude next to Toriyama is? I can't read crazy moon language.)

Thank you Herms. I was hoping it was the name of an animator or something. Oh well.

There's a LOT of Arale cameos in Dragon Ball. I know she was on the calender in Bulma's capsule house too.

I actually thought he was smiling as a kid (I thought he was a nerd who was obsessed with aliens), but after watching more anime, I realized it was a shocked expression of sorts, such as when you usually see a character's cheek twitch. :lol:

Here are a few awesome ones from DB episode 43.

And to think, I used to want a bulldog...

Do any of the younger members here even get this one?

Okay, those guys aren't really of any interest. I just wanted to post the AF mail box. :)
