Maybe meta wise, but Puar existed before meeting Yamcha in the series lol. But that gave me an idea…

2025-03-02 18:23:01 +0000 UTCI get the feeling Bulma doesn’t/wouldn’t mind some of these lol. Like Yamcha.
k c
2025-03-02 18:20:05 +0000 UTCJust like everything else lol.
k c
2025-03-02 18:18:54 +0000 UTC8 is the most consistent one I’ve seen. Wasn’t even aware of this until these reactions lol. English dubs lol.
k c
2025-03-02 18:18:31 +0000 UTCI don’t Reddit, so even with “that” addition, I can only correctly assume it means “joking.”

2025-03-02 18:16:28 +0000 UTCThe /j was an edit made after the reply. I added it so later comment readers wouldn't have the same misunderstanding.
DementisXYZ
2025-02-28 20:08:56 +0000 UTCThey put a /j after that statement which means they were joking lol. The nimbus being yellow is just a design choice, no specific reason. At least I don't think so.
Shawn Waldrop
2025-02-28 20:06:23 +0000 UTCYes, this is true...but they aren't a part of the next one. ehh spoilers I guess.
Serpent King
2025-02-28 19:56:35 +0000 UTCShould've put a /j at the end. Yeah, that one was a bit. That said, yeah, given OGDB, that is pretty believable at this point, huh? No, I'll just say now that there is no real explanation on the nimbus, ever. There are a couple of details added later on, but actual origins and explanations are none.
DementisXYZ
2025-02-28 17:40:30 +0000 UTCI don’t think this is correct at all
Sean Carroll
2025-02-28 16:25:13 +0000 UTCThank you for letting us know!
Bethany and Ken
2025-02-28 16:24:02 +0000 UTCYou're welcome! 😎
Bethany and Ken
2025-02-28 16:23:15 +0000 UTCThat's fun trivia about the colors, thanks for sharing!
Bethany and Ken
2025-02-28 16:22:51 +0000 UTCI think Dementis is just joking with that radiation bit. Ain't ever heard any official source say that's the reason lol.
JT
2025-02-28 16:22:46 +0000 UTCOooooo.... that's interesting
Bethany and Ken
2025-02-28 16:21:00 +0000 UTCYou both are right on "filler" honestly. In a traditional sense for standard episode watching a filler would be an episode that doesn't move along the main plot. But also the idea of filler being extra content and/or story not included in the original source material is accurate and makes perfect sense.
Bethany and Ken
2025-02-28 16:20:12 +0000 UTCIt's radiation?!?! That's crazy, don't think I'll be able to look at that cloud the same way again. Thank god Goku is Saiyan but what about Roshi, he used to ride the nimbus too right? How did he survive?
Bethany and Ken
2025-02-28 16:15:49 +0000 UTCThat's...not even close to the definition of filler. Filler is content added to the anime that wasn't in the original source material for the sake of padding out time so the original material can pull further ahead in the story.
DementisXYZ
2025-02-28 15:41:59 +0000 UTCI don't know who said 5, but 16 is also incorrect. In both the Viz manga translation and the japanese subs, he's 8.
DementisXYZ
2025-02-28 15:39:52 +0000 UTC"That's some very yellow pee making that cloud." No, it accumulated water from a toxic waste dump. It's yellow with radiation. If Goku weren't Saiyan, he'd be dead from radiation poison after a month. /j Omg, after Yamcha saw Bulma through the window, the japanese subtitles show Yamcha said, "I just saw the greatest thing in the world." Good lord. "Stealing the dragon balls is going to be a cinch with these kids knocked out." That...was not his original motivation. He had no interesting peeping on Bulma, but...your original suspicion was correct. I honestly kind of forgot how funny Yamcha is in the early show. Your reaction to his grabbing the "dragon balls" and afterwards were fantastic. Yeah...Bulma was really a victim early on, and Roshi has barely been in the picture yet. "If he's supposed to be 5 or 6 years old..." Yeah, 8, and the english voice doesn't help, but even the japanese subs called that out this episode. In english, when Bulma first confronts Oolong about the outfit and says, "Something is wrong with you," Oolong says "I'm a pig." In the japanese subs, Bulma says, "Despite being a kid, you sure do act like a middle-aged man." My guess is Funimation made Oolong's age vague in english for the sake of not making a horrendously perverted child.
DementisXYZ
2025-02-28 15:37:26 +0000 UTCTo correct the person who said oolong was 5 they are wrong through out most of the series oolong is 16 years old
Soul Tiger
2025-02-28 04:02:24 +0000 UTC😂 I forgot OG Dragonball was not a kids show lol
Jeffrey F
2025-02-28 01:25:45 +0000 UTCThis show would not be made nowadays. Bulma is a victim of constant sexual assault. Even Goku has unintentionally assaulted her. lol
Cilla W
2025-02-28 01:16:29 +0000 UTCFair enough lol, im mostly referring to the groping ones 🤣 ah fuck just ignore me
grimmjow
2025-02-27 22:58:46 +0000 UTCChi chi and ox king are longtime characters
Sean Carroll
2025-02-27 22:57:28 +0000 UTC“Don’t worry” Sex jokes are hilarious
Sean Carroll
2025-02-27 22:56:51 +0000 UTCI see your point. My definition of filler is that we don't really get anywhere towards the main goal or meet any longtime characters. disclaimer, I've never read the manga so :|
Serpent King
2025-02-27 22:10:06 +0000 UTCDont worry most these sex joke mostly stop after this arc, next arc when the anime finds its identity and become more action oriented and story driven.
grimmjow
2025-02-27 22:06:49 +0000 UTCCan you really call it filler? A lot of the story in it is right out of the manga.
JT
2025-02-27 22:05:53 +0000 UTCIt's pig years duhhh :P lol idk this show is bonkers.
Serpent King
2025-02-27 22:05:46 +0000 UTC*looks up next episode* oh OHHH ok yep here we go. one of my favorite fillers.
Serpent King
2025-02-27 22:04:42 +0000 UTCLMAOOOO what a funny episode! Felt more like an abridged one than anything! It's funny to see how the only ones that are seemingly innocent here are Puar, Goku and Yamcha while the others...have questionable thoughts and behaviors
J Sal
2025-02-27 22:01:28 +0000 UTCHoo boy, next episode’s gonna be a ride.
JT
2025-02-27 21:35:05 +0000 UTCYes but some of his jokes would be unhinged for a kindergartener🤣
victoria t
2025-02-27 20:44:33 +0000 UTCNot that that makes it much better lol, but yeah
JT
2025-02-27 20:43:41 +0000 UTCAlso I know someone said Oolong is supposed to be 5 years old here, but he’s actually 9. Edit: so is Puar.
victoria t
2025-02-27 20:42:57 +0000 UTC27:50 For the record, Bulma being considerate of Yamcha being shy is only in the dub. The sub and manga only has her say that he's welcome to come back. Makes a bit more sense for her character imo, given who she ends up marrying in the end.
JT
2025-02-27 20:41:00 +0000 UTCI forgot how funny Puar is 💀😂
Austin Collier
2025-02-27 20:38:04 +0000 UTCAnother thought I had is that Puar is Yamchas daemon in a sense, a physical manifestation of Yamchas inner thoughts and feelings.
Cynergy
2025-02-27 20:28:01 +0000 UTCOh, yeah, they have Yamcha unintentionally grope Bulma. In the manga he just removes the covers and sees her.
Jason Rogue
2025-02-27 20:27:07 +0000 UTCI forgot how chaotic this episode was from Shu attaching a bomb to his hand, the casual nudity of Bulma, Oolong drugging Bulma and Goku and the boob squeezing, made me lol so much 😂 the bunny suit is pretty iconic to the series, she does wear it well.
Cynergy
2025-02-27 20:23:14 +0000 UTC1:40 Well, the color yellow/gold in Eastern art is often meant to be symbolic of things that are celestial/divine/pure, so perhaps the Nimbus was colored yellow to reflect Sun Wukong's godly status and the cloud only permitting those of pure heart to ride it. Although, there are a few times that Toriyama had actually colored the Nimbus purple instead of yellow, so I'm not entirely certain if there's meant to be any "actual" meaning behind it.
JT
2025-02-27 20:13:41 +0000 UTCI’ll never look at the nimbus cloud the same way again.
Cilla W
2025-02-27 20:09:21 +0000 UTCOh yeah, we also got details on the Daima DLC for DBZ Kakarot yesterday via the game’s page being updated on digital stores. It’ll be releasing in two separate parts, with Part 1 releasing July – Sep 2025 and Part 2 releasing Jan – Mar 2026. Maybe ya’ll heard already, but there wasn’t any sort of “official” announcement through social media or trailers, so I figured it was worth shouting out down here. EDIT: Trailers for said DLC have just come out as of 2/28. Based on the trailer footage and screenshots from the store pages, it seems that Part 1 will be covering Daima's story up to episode 8 or so, with some other big things (that I can't say) from episodes in the second half being thrown in too.
JT
2025-02-27 20:03:55 +0000 UTCThis is it. The final day before Daima wraps up for good. It seems like it’ll be ending on March 1st in Japan, the same day of Toriyama’s passing one year later. All I can say for now is that I hope it’ll be a solid ending. Doubt it’ll answer everything now that I’ve been giving it more thought, but hey, we’ll see. Everyone here has probably learned this by now, but just to reiterate one final time: Try to stay away from online DB community content as much as possible. I can’t imagine that this finale won’t be packing at least one last big surprise.
JT
2025-02-27 20:00:35 +0000 UTCBall Joke Counter: 10 I’m counting Yamcha mistaking Bulma’s boob for a Dragon Ball as a ball joke and you can’t stop me.
