A tiny detail I thought of a while ago. When Goku travels to the past in original DB to meet Mutaito and Roshi, he goes by a different means than Tien, Krillin, Yamcha, and Chaozu did. Popo physically threw Goku through some kind of time-loop, whilst Tien and the others were taken to Planet Vegeta in some spiritual-mental style. Then again, Kami's Lookout is more confusing than Goku's nagging urge to train.

At that time it was more of a gag manga, so it wouldn't really matter....& I assume the Toriyama Forgetus kicked in.

Well, he never saw the full moon. Part (or all) of it was in shadow when he went up and once he was on it he couldn't really see it all, now could he?

Have you guys ever noticed how similar Gohan's entrance to save Goten,Trunks, and Piccolo from Buu is to Goku's entrance to save Gohan,Krillin, and Piccolo from Freeza. They look very similar.

I was thinking today and I realized something.

General Blue is a blue eyed blond haired soldier in an evil army with super strength.

I assume everybody knows the connotations of that.

He's also homosexual.

And we all know how the Nazis felt about that.
Where's the beef?

Hmm. Good point. Was he really meant to be gay, or just childish and grossed out by girls?

Well did you ever notice that Super saiyans which are supposed to be the ultimate warriors, have blonde hair and blue eyes as well :wink:

In fact they made a joke about that in the FUNimation dub of Movie 12
Goten and Trunks transform, and Hitler says:
"Blonde hair? Blue eyes? Super strength?! I should be recruiting them!" :mrgreen: Which was very funny.
There is no better combination in the world than Dragonball, Cherry Pepsi, and Cheez-Its. It's a proven fact.

Best dub line ever. Should've been in the original. I was kinda expecting it to be.

Doesn't Blue's uniform actually resemble a Nazi uniform anyway?

Also, regarding Gokuu seeing the moon: Isn't the transformation triggered by moonlight moreso than the moon itself? It's quite likely it didn't reflect enough light. Like Xyex implied, a lot of it was probably shadowed anyway. And, after all, the full moon wasn't until at least a few nights later, when they were at Pilaf's castle.

Perhaps that's why Piccolo thought with was Goku so much? It's possible Toriyama refered to Goku's entrance on Namek while drawing Gohan's entrance in the Buu Saga.

And as for Goku being on the moon: wouldn't he have transformed from seeing the "full Earth?" Silly Toei! :roll:

Hey, did you ever notice there are three different designs for what the Tsufujin are supposed to have looked like? (Were there even Tsufujin in the manga? What did they look like?)

Well, quoting Hilter in Fusion Reborn:
"Blonde hair, blue eyes, super strength?! I should be recruting them!"
