Earth - 5.9736×1024 kg
Moon - 7.347 673×1022 kg

Or, Earth - 600, Moon - 7

The Moon is 1.2 % the mass of the Earth.

I just noticed that, during the fight with Nappa, Piccolo actually uses a variant of the Makankosappo.

When Piccolo decides to suprise attack Nappa with Kuririn and Gohan (who turns out to be too scared to move), Kuririn and Piccolo are forced to just blast him-- with Kuririn firing a kamehameha-looking beam and Piccolo firing a beam with a spiral around it which looks very similar to Makankosappo-- but he performed this attack with both arms, without the fingers-to-forehead charge up and with a much thicker center beam.

How 'bout that!

I never noticed that in This Image, Vegeta is sitting on an Alien that he killed & he is eating not only a hand but the hand ripped off the alien....kinda gross to me...& that alien creeps me out XD

Hm. I think I was getting mass and size mixed-up in my head.

As I continue to read through my DBZ manga's... I noticed that Vegeta uses a variant of the Final Flash against Reacoom, even going through all the motions (Charing with the arms stretched out to the side, brings them together and charging some more... and then unleashing a tremendous blast of energy).

As I continue to notice things I never noticed before... I will continue to let you all know!

Here's one that I just thought of: At the very beginning of DB, Goku asks why Bulma wants to find all the dragonballs and says something like, "Are you gonna make a big necklace outta them?" Later on, Bulma, Goku, and Oolong find Muten Roshi for the first time, and he's wearing a Dragonball around his neck; he made a necklace out of it! Yajirobe also does the same thing when he's first introduced into the series. Kinda weird that one is able to make a dragonball into a necklace, considering that they're powerful enough to be submerged inside a volcano, but that's for another topic...

Another thing is when Piccolo punches Gotenks when they're thinking about how to escape from the Room of Spirit and Time. For a split second when he's punched, you see a chibi version of Goten and Trunks. :lol:

Wai~! They're so cute and SD! :lol:

Vegeta's eyes aren't blue when he's a SSJ4. Seriously, they're green, and Gogeta's are blue in SSJ4. I thought for the longest time they were blue, because it said so all over the internet, and it looked like they were in fansubs (bad quality), so I figured they were blue, and that's why Gogeta had blue eyes.

. . . But they're not. Vegeta's eyes are green. You can clearly tell they're green if you watch Funimation's releases of the episodes. So unless the Funimation episodes are color distorted enough to change the color of Vegeta's eyes from blue to green (while Gogeta's eyes are still blue, as well as Trunks', Bra's, Bulma's, ect.), SSJ4 Vegeta eyes are definately green. :lol:

I thought that was obvious?

Since his eyes are green and Goku's are yellow, then that would naturally make Gogeta's eyes blue anyway..

Still on the topic of GT, i noticed a dub mistake a while back. When Baby Vegeta uses the Final Flash on Goku, he actually cries out "Big Bang Attack!" instead. :?

Anybody notice how easy it is to get rid of someone that's inside a vehicle of a sort in Dragonball simply by pressing the capsule form button? Which leaves me with another question, what the hell would happen to the person within the machine? Shrink?..

They did it to dead bodies so they wouldn't decay. Although those capsules may have been specially designed to shrink what's inside them.

Although once Bulma left the Dragon Radar in a plane that was put into it's capsule and Trunks retrieved it after.

So it looks like stuff inside can be shrunk down, too. Otherwise Roshi'd have to empty out Kame House everytime he moved it.

I think you're a little confused. Blue + Yellow = Green, but Green + Yellow doesn't = Blue. And yes, I believe SSJ4 Vejita's eyes are blue, though the saturation isn't as high as in the FUNi releases.

Anyway, the real question is why the hell Vejita has purple gloves and boots >_<;;

*sniff* Vejita...you were so toyed with in GT...I'm so sorry...

Yes, he was. Poor old guy was given a mustage and odd... afro-type thing. Some type of platform hair. :x

But that's Toriyama's fault. :cry:

Was it? Toriyama-sensei originally gave Vegeta the horrible mustache?

Oh, the shame... so many dreams shattered...

Wait! What??

Are you sure about that?

I don't think that's true, anybody got any evidence?
There is no better combination in the world than Dragonball, Cherry Pepsi, and Cheez-Its. It's a proven fact.

Not sure about the original source, but I'm pretty sure I heard that Toriyama designed the Super Saiyan 4's, along with Super 17 and *cough* old-man Vegeta. :lol:

Same thing goes for Giru and all the other robots that look like him. But I wouldn't hold it against him even if he did design mustachioed Vegeta... at least they changed him back.

I noticed in the episode when Vegeta is being buried by Goku on the planet Namek, the wind blows Goku's hair sideways giving it the same form as Vegeta's hair. Probably a tribute.

Of course I have no idea what the episode is and I dont have any screencaps. But if you care to look for it, it is actually very interesting. Sorry :oops:
