Dragonball Stuff You've Just Realized

[Saimaroimaru]

Roshi had his own pet Gamera.

Who never appears or is ever mentioned again.

Ever.

And can talk.

He made some video game appearances.

The Cell Juniors don't have the little tail stinger that their daddy does, possibly meaning they are sterile since that's how Cell had kids. lol

[Cipher]

Roshi had his own pet Gamera.

One of three really obvious homages to the kaiju genre in the series.

There's also a blink-and-you'll-miss-it Baragon cameo the first time Goku goes to Dr. Brief's garden.

And finally, Hirudegarn crashing into the TV tower before undergoing his metamorphosis is very likely an homage to Mothra doing almost the same thing in her debut film:

[Chuquita]

During the few episodes where Goku has Ginyu's body instead of his own, there are scenes where Ginyu's ears become more pointed and he gains fangs. Neither is seen again once Ginyu's back in his own body.

[Super Sonic]

The first dub of season 2 and Funimation's redub translate "Freeza-sama" differently. Ocean: Master Frieza
Funimation: Lord Frieza

Just something I noticed.

Maybe they´ll grow one?

The Red Ribbon Army seem to be a paraody/reference to the SPECTRE organisation from James Bond.

Yeah, especially in the anime, where Commander Red's always seen petting his...bat-thing. His English voice also sounds just like Fat Bastard from the Austin Powers movies, but that's kind of beside the point.

[SHINOBI-03]

A new name to add for the alternative spellings list.

Wait... That's spelled exactly like Ackman from Toriyama's "Go, Go Ackman", is it not?

Also in the anime Muten Roshi apparently knows of Freeza and his transformations, if the danish localization of DBZ was spot on concerning those lines.
I think it was in this episode, where that filler can be found:

Even though I watched this movie quite a few times, I recently noticed that Piccolo's belt is red in DBZ Movie 7.

It's red in the manga, too. Starting from Movie 6, they switched from blue to red for whatever reason.

[TripleRach]

Wait... That's spelled exactly like Ackman from Toriyama's "Go, Go Ackman", is it not?

They're also both アックマン (Akkuman) in Japanese, so Toriyama pretty much used the same name twice. So it's not too surprising that they'd both be officially romanized as "Ackman."

[TripleRach]

I'll have to beat myself for double posting, but...

Just now I noticed that Jackie Chun and the Tenkaichi Budoukai announcer have practically the same hairstyle. Mostly because of a few panels in Chapter 41 where they're right next to each other. Don't have the means to scan it right now, but I might edit in an anime screenshot later, if no one beats me to it.

Yeah, I noticed that for a long time. It was an 80's hair style, right?

Ah Ok, I didn't know that. Well that's like the third confirmed case of Toriyama reusing names isn't it?
The other two ones being Ranfan's husband Trunks, then later Vegeta and Bulma's son Trunks. Some guy from a Tobal game named Mark similar to what Mr. Satan's real name would be revealed as in one of the SEGs.

The Capsule Corp logo is the copyright logo, with a small part missing from the outer circle

Actually, they are fairly different.



Its pretty obvious that the Capsule Corporation logo is meant to be the first two Cs.

I just noticed this computer display in Dr. Gero's lab with various Romanizations of character names from episode 164.

They appear to be;
"SONGOKU"
"PIKORO"
"VEJITA"
"FLIZA" and
"SAL"

[Gaffer Tape]

Good old Sal. The most intimidating DB villain if ever there was one. Remember when Sal goes around absorbing people through his tail? Or when Goku sacrifices himself to stop Sal from destroying the world? Or when Sal and Fliza are making trouble in hell?

Ah, good old Sal.

I hate how long it takes Sal to get me some of my packages. I mean, he has the Shunkan-Ido, it should be a much faster process. =P
