New to Dragon Ball, needing some help please.

Kame Sen'nin means something like "Turtle elder". Sen'nin is a sort of mythical status, like a super-enlightened taoist master who can circumvent age and such.

As for the rabbits on the moon... it's a Japanese folktale, basically. The "man on the moon" in the west is a rabit in parts of Asia... and it makes ricecakes. XD

I thought Kame-sennin translates into "turtle hermit".

"Hermit" is a valid (and very common) translation, sure. On top of what caejones explained, a sennin is supposed to have shed their worldly desires and attachments, so they live alone somewhere remote, content in their enlightenment and wisdom. Which is what make Kamesennin's perverted interests so silly, and it's why the turtle is so appalled by his actions.

The Soundtrack: I thought I heard a snippet of the opening theme during this episode but I may be wrong. There were some good pieces that played throughout and the silence was used effectively.

Yeah. A vocal-less version of the opening theme plays at the end of episode 7.

Don't the DVD subs use "Turtle Hermit", not "Kame Sennin", though? Or did they change that for the blue bricks?
