2025-02-23 23:36:52 +0000 UTCThe current age of the cast. Goku: 12 Bulma: 16 Oolong: 9 Although it might not seem like it he’s 9 years old at the start of Dragon Ball. The girls look to be around Goku’s age so it’s safe to say they're 12 as well but it's just a guest.

2025-02-21 01:39:15 +0000 UTCHe 100% stared at Whis long enough to consider giving him the patdown.

2025-02-21 01:38:48 +0000 UTCI appreciate that. It’s just felt kinda superficial being like “well the original version of this incredibly perverted scene is like xyz, whereas here it’s changed to be not as explicit, etc…” At that point I’d be going line by line, which would get old real fast (and frankly, I lack the patience). When there’s a big enough deviation I’ll be sure to mention it, that is unless someone else beats me to it.
Shadowpunch13
2025-02-21 01:37:47 +0000 UTCWell, you did a good job so far! My main takeaway from this episode is that in the sub, Bulma kept explicitly telling Goku not to pat people's crotches. I guess crotch was too inappropriate to use in the English dub. Also, when Bulma revealed herself to Oolong, he asked her what her breast size was. That's why she was showing her breasts. Honestly, it's funny no matter which translation you watch.

2025-02-21 01:30:03 +0000 UTCNot sure if you guys already know but oolong is inspired by Zhu Bajie. The lustful , lying pig & friend to Wukong & obviously Goku was inspired by Wukong i.e. the name Goku which is derivative from the name "Wukong" "Goku". The nimbus cloud & power pole is another inspiration. You guys will see that inspiration a lot. Especially heavy in OG Dragon Ball & yes Japan even still to this day as a total different sense of humor than western media. It's a totally different culture especially back then & funny to us, most of the time there are no rules lol

2025-02-21 01:27:54 +0000 UTCWonderful opening. "She worked for her money." Damn right she did. Love that that broke Ken a little. The look on Bethany's face when Goku does pat pat is fantastic. "Pillsbury Dough Boy?!" ...you were aiming for Staypuft Marshmallow Man, weren't you? I like Bethany's eye roll at Bulma. Obviously, DBZA did not exaggerate with the Zarbon scene. Information lost in the anime: Oolong, here, is younger than Goku. If I remember correctly, he's like 8 or 9. The fact that his voice sounds like an adult causes some confusion and issues, obviously, but he is still a kid. I'm so happy for you, Bethany, that that's how you learn about motorboating. Obviously, as you can tell, Goku does outgrow the pat pat...which is good, since that would obviously be a lot more problematic when he's older. Comparing a Dragon Ball to a Tennis Ball is hilarious, to me.

2025-02-21 00:45:46 +0000 UTCThis was a fun episode, I love the pat pat running joke, as bad as it is 😂

2025-02-20 21:33:44 +0000 UTCRevisiting these early episodes in retrospect makes me appreciate them so much more. I always had my gripes with arc 3 because the humor always clashed with the story. But in these early episodes, there is little to no story, so the humor hits really well since it IS the focus
Hohoho
2025-02-20 21:26:44 +0000 UTCWe appreciate it 😂
Cynergy
2025-02-20 21:23:18 +0000 UTC14:28 I don’t think you’ll ever find this sequence of words together except in Dragon Ball, and that is the beauty of the show
Hohoho
2025-02-20 21:17:03 +0000 UTCGoku’s patting thing is so funny 💀
Hohoho
2025-02-20 21:06:56 +0000 UTCToyotarou's art had been steadily improving since Moro and it's nice to see he's still keeping at it. I definitely would wonder what he'd have in store, if he continues.
Shadowpunch13
2025-02-20 20:48:18 +0000 UTC@Tal Rubin I agree. Certainly not a bad start from Toyotarou w/o Toriyama at his side (not that Toriyama was "super" involved with what Toyo was doing).
JT
2025-02-20 20:43:59 +0000 UTCI read it yesterday. I actually really like it. Honestly the chapter had a lotta heart
Tal Rubin
2025-02-20 20:42:39 +0000 UTCApologies, JT, that first reply wasn't aimed at you. EDIT: No sweat, as an aside, you can block people on here, can you? Now that’s certainly interesting information. 👀
Shadowpunch13
2025-02-20 20:42:22 +0000 UTCI've never watched the "dub" until these reactions. Now that that's beginning to change, it wouldn't be out of the question. EDIT: Oh my bad. Whoever replied first must be either blocked by me or blocked me instead lol. I have a fairly good idea who it might be tho, haha
JT
2025-02-20 20:41:32 +0000 UTCJT, don’t, you’ve done too much already. I can’t put this on you. 😭
Shadowpunch13
2025-02-20 20:41:31 +0000 UTCYou've never even watched the sub, who are you kidding? lmao
Shadowpunch13
2025-02-20 20:40:22 +0000 UTCAt least it doesn't sound like nails on a chalk board like the sub.
REDE
2025-02-20 20:38:46 +0000 UTChmmm...
JT
2025-02-20 20:38:25 +0000 UTCGoku is 12 here
REDE
2025-02-20 20:37:04 +0000 UTCHonestly there's too many changes between the original and the dub to name, between the censorship and the dialogue changes/additions that I have officially thrown in the towel, four episodes in. In all fairness, that was four more episodes than I was prepared to do.
Shadowpunch13
2025-02-20 20:34:49 +0000 UTCAlso Goku is much younger than 14, he does state that he's 14 in the manga when he's watching Bulma bathe, but he states his actual age later on since he doesn't actually know how old he is.
Jason Rogue
2025-02-20 20:33:33 +0000 UTCTitle Card: Original translation of the Japanese title, "Oolong, the Kidnapping Demon" This episodes adapts Dragon Ball Chapters 5 and 6 pages 1-11.
Shadowpunch13
2025-02-20 20:32:49 +0000 UTCThink of a Dragon Ball as a diamond. They are they're like badazzling, like a jewel.
Jason Rogue
2025-02-20 20:30:42 +0000 UTCAfter reading the manga, it's interesting to find out that Oolong is actually much younger than Bulma. She states that she's 16 when she's entranced by Oolong. Oolong states that he can't choose between an older curvy woman or the younger girl.
Jason Rogue
2025-02-20 20:18:10 +0000 UTC2:36 BTW, be wary about Crunchyroll's "skip recap" button for the dub of this series. It seems to work fine for the sub, but for whatever reason it seems to skip past footage that isn't part of the recap segments that'll start showing up later whenever you use it for the dubbed versions of the episodes. Don't know why.
JT
2025-02-20 20:06:21 +0000 UTCGoku being an unintentional perv is just so hilarious to me 💀😂
Austin Collier
2025-02-20 20:05:53 +0000 UTC2:00 Pretty sure that's just supposed to be Goku's POV of flying through mountains on the Nimbus.
JT
2025-02-20 20:05:01 +0000 UTCThank you for reminding me, almost forgot about it.

2025-02-20 20:02:58 +0000 UTCHere we go fellas, first post of the stupid. Ball Joke Counter: 6
JT
2025-02-20 20:01:08 +0000 UTCAnyone else read the latest DBS chapter? I had some fun with it, but it still made me long for us to continue with the story again.
JT
2025-02-20 20:00:56 +0000 UTCFun Fact: Naoki Tatsuya, Oolong’s Japanese voice actor, has also voiced Porky Pig in the Japanese dubs of several Looney Tunes shows/movies. He uses the same type of voice between the two.
JT
2025-02-20 20:00:41 +0000 UTCWhile not being a direct reference to Sun Wukong, Oolong himself was also inspired by Journey to the West. He’s loosely based on a humanoid pig-like character named Zhu Bajie (sometimes translated as “Pigsy”) who traveled alongside the monkey king. He was a former immortal commander-in-chief of celestial troops. He had a lazy, greedy, and lustful personality, that ended up getting him banished to Earth after harassing the moon goddess Chang’e.
