Dragonball Stuff You've Just Realized

[Dorexx]

I just realized that "Bulma" is a rearrangement of the world "album".

I dont think that was intended

[Michsi]

Yep, that's Mr. Stay Puft. That arc (particularly in the anime) is full of crazy background characters.

Seriously? I need to re-watch those episodes ASAP!

All I remember is Toriyama's tour guide cameo

[Eddie]

If you're interested in seeing some of those characters, here's an old thread I made. It's been dead for some time, though, so please don't necropost.

Episode 87 "The Curtain Rises over the Ultimate Battle!! I Am Going to Defeat You"... A few minutes into the episode, Goku sort of nods to Piccolo to get out of there and he tells Gohan and Kuririn let's go and Kuririn is clearly wearing his Saiyan battle wear while standing there next to Gohan. However, Piccolo and Kuririn take off but when you see Kuririn turn back realizing Gohan has yet to flee, Kuririn is sporting his old orange Gi!

[Piccolo Daimao]

Tao Pai Pai's Dodonpa creates a hole in Son Goku's gi EXACTLY where the Kanji was. Nice way to get around having to draw the Kame Kanji for a while, Toriyama.

No offence, but how could you not realize that? Even when Goku goes to get his new clothes, he tells the tailor to "put the Kame symbol in front where it's torn".

No idea. I'm slow at noticing very obvious things sometimes I guess.

I know a lot of parallels can be drawn between Goku and Superman, but even their general color schemes are really similar!

Red & Blue Gi = Red & Blue Spandex

Both have Black hair in their most basic forms

Goku's SSJ hair matches the Yellow Superman 'S'

[violadude]

Oh Jesus...I just realized that the characters Erasa and Sharpner are puns based on the two sides of a pencil.

Isn't his gi orange?

Often looks that way, but Gohan calls it yellow when asking Kibito to give him the same dogi. No consistency. lol

[Turtle Marked Stone]

It's more red in the original Dragon Ball cartoon I suppose.

[Kaboom]

I just learned from a recent Herms-post that we were told in one of the Daizenshuu what Pilaf and his crew were up to during the majority of DBZ. They were apparently plotting to take over Earth, as usual, but held back when Cell appeared and didn't get a chance before Boo wiped out the population.

[Shiyonasan]

This isn't completely Dragon Ball related, but since the character is from Dr. Slump and appears in DragonBall, I'll go ahead and mention it.

I just noticed that Obotchaman's hair bears a striking resemblance to Astro Boy's hair. I'm betting it was intentional:

[DragonBoxZTheMovies]

In DBZ Movie 8, after Piccolo arrives Kuririn, Roshi and Oolong all leave on a space pod Piccolo brought with him, yet at the end of the movie they're all on the space ship with Goku, Gohan Vegeta, etc.

[Goku100xKamehameha]

Goten's name is probably a reference to how Goku being in the after-world while Goten was born because Goten's name consist of 2 Kanji:悟天 and The "ten/天” part literally means "heaven".

[rereboy]

Goku used his teleportation to get them (Gohan, Trunks, Piccolo and Vegeta) there (on the ship). There was no other way to leave the planet.

He could probably teleport straight to Earth but since he was short on time it was probably easier for him to teleport to the ship.

[Shiyonasan]

I just realized what the "59" patch means on Goku's black and orange coat that he wears during Z episodes 169-174.

5: Go

9: Ku (Alternate way of reading kyū in Japanese.)

59 = "Go" "Ku", or Goku, when the individual numbers are spoken.

Maybe not what this topic is about, but, up until I was 13, I thought arms could grow back

I also just realized why Roshi was 560 by the time GT finished, due to the Immortal Phoenix.

EDIT: 360, not 560

Wasn't he only in his 300s, or 400s counting the TV special?
