Yay spirit bomb!

Bethany and Ken

We definitely do not!

A lot of these DB characters that we never see again in DBZ in the main story usually show up for a spirit bomb cameo.

Asuka Yousei 妖精帝國

Oh you guys don't know THIS Tien 😫

Serpent King

This run of filler is probably my favorite in the series, only one I am not a huge fan of is Demon Land and even that is, well it's just ok imo. Next one is really good.

Dorian Cantu

"There's a Demon Land? :D" aw c'mon Ken, y'all just finished Daima not too long ago lol

Asuka Yousei 妖精帝國

I loved those moments because art is left up to interpretation. My opinion is better than no one else's but when Goku dreamt of those androids. I've always looked at that in a spiritual way. I've had dreams before of people i'd meet years later in my life. Well, that only happened twice but i've always looked at that as spiritual.

Serpent King

This little filler episode has some weird similarities to the buu saga doesn't it? A sword that no one can pull, and allusions to a demon realm

47:45 Don't worry about Bulma's "prophetic" dream she had there. That's just a bit of fluff to help with the transition of the scenes. Toei actually did something similar in DBZ when Goku was recovering from the heart virus. He had a nightmare where Android 17 and 18 killed his friends and family, despite him never having met the cyborg twins himself.

This isn’t a manga canon episode, so things like Bulma getting a dream premonition aren’t based on Toriyama’s writing and are a creation by the studio. That’s why it was out there

It’s based on the combo in a Japanese card game. Ino/Shika/Cho is a trio referenced in other popular culture, like Naruto.

JT

26:11 The name “InoShikaCho” translates literally to “Boar Deer Butterfly”. Quite the mouthful. Probably harder to match up with the lip flaps (and it’d probably sound stupid to English audiences).

JT

While the characters such as Devilman alluded to its existence, episode 81 marks the first time that Dragon Ball depicted the “Demon Realm”. As you can see, the version that Toei had cooked up is rather different than what Toriyama himself would envision decades later in DB Daima. Some people might say Toei’s version is a bit more in line for what a Demon Realm should be like, but I just find it boring.

Gokus friends being assholes when they first meet is a required canon event of dragon ball Lol.

JT

The anime introduces Tien and Chiaotzu a fair bit earlier than they were in the manga. Episode 82 makes them out to be bigger assholes than they already were when they’re first introduced during the next main arc.

Regarding kens comment about tien sounding different its actually the same voice actor for tien even by the time of db super, keep in mind though its a almost 20 year difference between the recordings
