Well, he doesn't seem to like One Piece since he watched the Indonesian dub of it, so I guess it's understandable that he wouldn't have bothered with the English dub of it.

I actually already heard that there English VA are the same but what I'm trying to say is the English VA of them are the same and there a lot of merchandise and commercial featuring them coupled.

Call me a noob, but I only just realised that the pictures on the spine of the first 7 Dragonball graphic novels have the corresponding numbered Dragonball in them.

Did that make sense?

The illustration on page 84 of the first daizenshuu in which Gohan is riding with a dinosaur said dinosaur has a hurt foot. That and the majority of the time the Kinton Cloud's alternative color is purple, possibly an inspiration for the evil Kinton in the anime.

Karin gave one to Tao Pi Pi so he could fly back down the tower.

Must have worded it wrong.

I've just realized General Blue's and Piccolo's Japanese VA are the same! one gay character and one manly character.

Did anyone ever realize, in the "We Gotta Power" opening, Gohan has a school bag and in the next scene, he doesn't? :shock:

Damn, never noticed that. Plus that bike he's pedaling looks like a motorcycle..

I never realized Hikari no Willpower was an actual song with lyrics until I was randomly browsing through Youtube.

Took me the longest time to recognise where the names Bibidi, Babidi and Buu came from. :lol: (That song in Disney's Cinderella.)

In almost every Dragon Ball episode, the BGM for the recap is whatever song played at the end of the previous episode.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

I've just realized that Masako Nozawa appears in just about every episode of the Anime, TV special, and Movie. Either as Goku, Gohan, Goten, Turles, or Bardock.

(I'm not sure about Dragonball, since I haven't seen all 151 episodes)
Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!
