			==Notes==
			*The Mermaid's scene was originally printed in limited color, but these pages were greyscaled in the [[Dragon Ball VIZBIG\|VIZBIG edition]], the only [[Viz]] edition to include any of the original color pages.
			[[File:Mermaid-Harassment.png\|thumb\|250px\|The [[Turtle Hermit]] wants to pinch the Pie Pie.]]
			*In the original English-language printing of [[Dragon Ball Chapter 25\|chapter 25]], [[Dragon Ball Part 2-1 (Viz Monthly Comics)\|Part 2 #1]] of the [[Viz Monthly Comics]], the [[Turtle Hermit]] tells [[Goku]] that his first task is to "obtain for me...th-that girl's p-p-p-panties!!"
			**In the [[Viz Graphic Novel]], the now-discontinued first edition of [[Viz]]'s version of [[Dragon Ball Tankōbon Volume 3\|''tankōbon'' volume 3]], the phrase "obtain for me" is replaced by "tell me the color of". The second-edition [[Shonen Jump Graphic Novel]] series uses the original, uncensored dialogue.
			**In the [[Funimation]] dub, the Turtle Hermit says, "I want you to ask that girl there if uh...she'd like to go on a walk with me." Goku comes back, and says the mermaid won't walk with him, but thinks they might have a better time if they went for a swim, and this is the cause of the old man's nosebleed. When he finds out that she is a mermaid, he thinks, "I knew there was something fishy about this."
			**The Funimation subtitles by [[Clyde Mandelin]] are faithful.
			*In the Viz monthly comics, the Turtle Hermit says, "I-I was wondering... if it wouldn't trouble you... if I might be permitted to get my hands on those magnificent boobs?!"
			**In the out-of-print first-edition Viz Graphic Novel, the dialogue was censored: "to take a look at your magnificent chest?"
			**Some later Viz editions are more moderately censored: "to lay my eyes on those magnificent boobs?!"
			**In the [[Funimation]] dub, he says, "Well uh, I'm like a turtle and you're part fish, so what do you say you and me go inside and learn more about our species?"
			**The Funimation subtitles read: "Um, it pains me to ask, but... Would you allow me to pinch at your ''Pai-pai'' for a little bit?"
			**In all English translations of the manga and the anime, Muten Rōshi can be seen making pinching gestures with his fingers.

The Mermaid can ride ''[[Kinto-un]]'', meaning she is pure of heart. The Turtle Hermit is nervous about meeting the new lady, so he tells Goku to ask her for her panties. Goku does not know what that means, but the old man says she will know. Goku goes to ask her, and then returns to tell Muten Rōshi that she is only wearing a shirt; she is not wearing any panties.
