Such a shame that Penguin Village didn't have any penguins. The Virgin Islands has the same problem. No penguins there either.

2025-08-16 21:12:35 +0000 UTCDidn't recall it exactly so had not realized it was the same combo but that is hilarious!

2025-08-16 21:11:33 +0000 UTCWoah, just looked up the Boxer Rebellion and this is fascinating! Going to read more into it but how interesting that this secret society started a rebellion that contributed to the collapse of the Qing Dynasty.

2025-08-16 21:08:13 +0000 UTCOk we're finally at the good part. I like Blue as a villain, but his arc is super dragged out in the anime with 3 whole Arale filler episodes included. This is episode marks a before and after.

2025-08-14 01:25:43 +0000 UTCYep, as many have said here, THIS is the part of the RR Army saga we've been waiting for. They dragged out the arc a little too much, but now our patience will be rewarded with what's coming up next. Can't wait!!!

2025-08-12 23:48:11 +0000 UTCone of the best villains in the entire franchise imo

2025-08-12 22:32:07 +0000 UTCSo excited for Tao, one of the best villains from OG imo.

2025-08-12 21:26:28 +0000 UTCSenbei said he hadnt finished the instruments yet, all the dials and stuff inside the plane cockpits. the people around korin tower make only a few apperances in the future but they are also one of the groups that appear in the buu saga when goku is calling for help with the spirit ball Back in the day especially in china it use to believed that high intensity martial arts would make you Impervious to bullets especially in China if Bethany hasnt she should look into a moment in history called the "Boxer Rebellion", I believe the myth is where akira/toei got the inspiration for the characters being so strong looking forward to the tao battle

2025-08-12 21:02:28 +0000 UTCthe crossover arc is one of those things that are more enjoyable if you have the context to it, sadly alot of people especially with a popular anime like dragon ball dont bother to look into the info at all and just say what the fuck is this weird shit Lol.

2025-08-12 20:48:20 +0000 UTCAhh your patience is about to pay off because now it’s mainly peak from this point on 😏

2025-08-12 19:46:59 +0000 UTCOh boy, Mercenary Tao. The man that others and I have been anticipating for quite a while now. So much to say about him, but I think I’ll hold my tongue for just a little longer. Can’t really talk about his impact the way I want to without spoilers.

2025-08-12 19:40:17 +0000 UTCWhile Toei did drag the shit out of it, I figure I’m still the only person who really enjoys the Dr. Slump crossover in this arc. The added screentime with Dr. Slump characters who weren’t in the manga’s version of this segment is just more fun to be had for me. As someone who grew up with a lot of surreal media, I guess I just find the bizarreness of Toriyama’s first smash hit to be more palatable. But enough about that. We’ve finally reached the portion of OGDB that so many here on Patreon have been alluding to. What lies ahead from this point on is the material that would take Toriyama’s career as a creator in a whole new direction. The turning point where Dragon Ball becomes unlike anything he had created either before or after the end of DBZ (I consider DBS as more Toei’s/Toyotaro’s work).

2025-08-12 19:40:01 +0000 UTC25:14 "If there's any context that we should know for the crossover or any lore from there that can shed some light on what we saw that can better help us understand it." hehehehe, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Joking aside, I'll end my insanity by saying that this particular crossover is just a result of Dr. Slump being a far bigger deal in Japan than it is here in the U.S. That more or less applies to pretty much any Dragon Ball X Dr. Slump crossover. Most DB fans here in the U.S. don't really bother looking into Toriyama's other works beyond Dragon Ball. Dr. Slump is no exception. It doesn't help that most official content related to Dr. Slump has never been localized for English audiences due to interest in the series not being high enough. The two animes produced for Dr. Slump have no official dub or sub, so the only way we get to experience is the source material is through the manga (like yours truly).

2025-08-12 19:38:39 +0000 UTCI think you guys missed the part where the baby Turbo used magic to fix the radar.

2025-08-12 19:29:51 +0000 UTC(16:39) Ya probably don’t remember, but this combo that Arale whips out on Blue is the same one she would use decades later in DBS to send Vegeta flying.

2025-08-12 19:23:37 +0000 UTC13:05 Oh brother, do people really still have trouble differentiating these things? Alright, here: Robot: A machine that's designed to perform human tasks automatically that doesn't necessarily have to look like a living thing (i.e. R2-D2, Wall-E, Roombas) Android: A type of robot that is specifically designed to look like a living thing (i.e. the Terminator, C-3PO) Cyborg: A living thing that has been altered with mechanical parts. A person with as little as a single mechanical arm is considered a cyborg. Some cyborgs are so modified that they're damn near entirely mechanical (i.e. Robocop or Genos, as you've seen today), but the distinguishing trait is that they were originally humans. If ya couldn't tell, Arale's an android.

2025-08-12 19:20:09 +0000 UTC(9:26) Fun Fact: This Penguin Village police officer that’s wearing glasses and brightly colored armor does not have his original design. In the Dr. Slump manga, his design is literally that of a super short Stormtrooper. I suppose Toei made a point to change it to avoid any legal complications.
JT
2025-08-12 19:10:34 +0000 UTC(3:42) Forgot to put this in my Senbei overview last week but this change in appearance of his is a running joke in Dr. Slump. Senbei will sometimes suddenly be drawn as a more serious and handsome person when he feels confident in himself. It was Toriyama’s way of poking fun at how some people (including him) briefly feel like they’re hot shit when they get a small victory in life.

2025-08-12 19:04:55 +0000 UTC(4:05) King Nikochan and his servant: These two idiots are members of an alien race known as the “Niko’s” who hail from the planet Nikochan, of whom King Nikochan rules over. They initially came to Earth with the intention of conquering it, but they were forced to stay after Gatchan 1 devoured their spaceship. Throughout most of Dr. Slump the two of them end up picking up various odd jobs around Penguin Village to earn the money for another ship so they can go home. The two of them eventually managed to get a ship and head back to their home planet just to find that it had been taken over. Arale helped them take it back by beating up the invaders. Those lumps on the top of their head are actually their butts and their antennae are actually their nostrils. Very inconvenient. Their ears are also located on their feet. When Toriyama brought the first issue of Dr. Slump with King Nikochan, Torishima was absolutely disgusted by his design. But since Toriyama had submitted the issue so close to the deadline, Torishima did not have the time to reject the character.
