Notes
- This episode includes a reference to Urashima Tarō, a popular Japanese folk tale where a young man rescues a turtle and receives a reward. Urashima rides the turtle's back to a palace under the sea where he is entertained by a princess. When he leaves, she gives him a box (玉手箱 tamatebako, "jeweled hand box") and warns him never to open it. When Urashima returns home, many years have passed and everyone he knows is gone. He opens the tamatebako, and in a puff of smoke, he becomes an old man. (Akira Toriyama simply makes the old man into the turtle's reward.)
Variations
- When Umigame promises to return with a reward for Goku, Bulma wonders if he will not bring a tamatebako. Clyde Mandelin replaces this with Pandora's Box in his subtitles for Funimation, and in the Funimation dub, Bulma says, "What kind of gift could a turtle have, huh?"
