8:10 For context, as crazy as it is, Oolong’s official age at this point in the series was 8 years old. He and Puar were born in Age 740 and the beginning chapters/episodes of Dragon Ball take place in Age 749.
3:45 remember how in TFS krillien asks android 16 if he’d like to join them and 16 responds by saying “but I want to kill goku,” to which krillien responds “most of my friends did.” Keep that in mind with each introduction of the characters. 😁
It’s always been weird to me that they decided to make oolang sound like an adult in the English dub even though he was clearly a child in the Japanese version
Oolong, much like Son Goku, is a reference back to "The Journey to the West." In the original, "Pigsy" (or Zhu Bajie) is a pig-like humanoid with the ability to transform that lusts after women. In fact, in some versions of the tale, Pigsy even kidnaps a village elder's daughter and demands marriage, then fights Sun Wukong (aka, Son Goku) then decides/is coerced into joining the heroes on their journey.
If I remember correctly, the reason why Son Goku hated the dress was he didn't like how it felt in the Japanese version. It's been years since I watched the series, though. Edit: I also think he knew the villagers were there because of his keen sense of smell. I think the "sensing" localization was due to either poor translation or because the show ran in conjunction to Z, but the localizers didn't know that Son Goku didn't learn how to sense ki until later on.
Dragonball was localized in 90 I believe... Z was localized in 95ish. Also sense could be prescribed to his instincts picking up on eyes watching him, even in real life we have that feeling sometimes (especially when near some stealth hunter animals), little things we no longer recognize consciously.
@@kennethmorgan8795 the series was localized multiple times but the Z voices most people are familiar was dubbed until 1999 and this dub version of Dragonball was only done in 2001 after DBZ got popular. The localization you are thinking of in 1990 is the Harmony Gold one where all the characters had their names changed.
I laugh way to hard alongside your reaction from the trash talking oolong said to goku. This is pretty much my first viewing as well, I only recall few scenes from this show back when I saw it as a kid.

The changes in dialogue are driving me crazy, and apparently it's not just me since you're confused. In the original dialogue when Bulma reveals she's 16, Oolong comments to himself that she's older than him. Oolong is probably the same age as the girls he kidnapped. After the reveal of the spoiled girls, Oolong says he wanted to kidnap a shy girl hoping she would be more obedient.
@@MrShadic999 it's stated she's 16 in episode 2 and even in chapter 2 of the manga when goku tries to help her wash her back like she did to him but she refuses and calls goku a little kid and goku replies he's 14 (he's actually 12 he just thinks that 14 comes after 11) which causes Bulma to run him out of the bathroom while calling a pervert because he's only 2 years younger then her. so 14 +2=16, she was 16. a lot of dubs change the argument they had and make it so bulma gets mad at goku for saying she's jealous for not having a tail but the manga and the sub have the original conversation where talk about their age
@@majinnemesis ok, just went to look for my copy of chapter 70 where Bulma says she is 16 and you were right, she doesn't say it in the manga, just the anime, not sure why they'd do that but oh well. I'll delete my previous comment to avoid spreading missinformation, thanks for showing me :)

Just as a note, Japan has WAY different ideas for what's considered sexualized/sexually inappropriate than the west. Not saying it's good or bad, just the reality of cultural difference
This is perhaps one of my favorite episodes. Only because how the villagers said it has been a legend, that a boy would save them that could dance on the clouds. That information probably been pass down for generations. As both pokuwa dad and the eldest woman in town knew of it. His true DESTINY to be on earth was prophesied, apparently long ago. Boom mind blown
Hey AniMelon (don't know your real name but I watch you snice DBZ abridged) love your reactions and I'm happy to see that you're after Goku's orgin story. I'd love to watch all the episodes from oryginal DB and enjoying your reactions. I'ts worth to watch. I'm from poland so if I made some mistakes in words... sorry 😅
The girls are likely 12-14... but Oolong is like 9. Also depending on region in Japan the legal age is as low as 14, there are usually stipulations and the like (and most are 16+ stipulations) but on a 'federal' lvl its 14. Its why we get soo many all but nude teen scenes in anime, legally its 'fine'... and the 'niche' audience group (20-25 year old office workers atm, expendable income) keep showing they prefer shonen and the like so those ages don't change much.
Goku means moving in wisdom. He turns all the bad guys into good guys or he puts to work making candy on the moon or he kills them. Depends on whats going on.

This is for sure the weirdest episode in OG lmao, like imagine a freaking pig that can transform kidnapping girls 😭 So glad Toriyama move from this to what we know but man he had some crazy ideas lmao Btw apparently Oolong was 8 years old or smth at this point in the story but still it doesn't make it any better 😭
I rather wish he stayed with the perverse and some edgy themes. Then again, I also like dragonball far more than dragonball z. It got boring and dumb real fast for me. Not only did the power scaling go way too far way, way too quick loosing the show most of its value with magical powerups. Fights was all there was left of the show. I think it was around the Cell saga that I just completely lost any care for it all. Going from this, funny, absurd, not afraid to poke into anything, to the more safe, more careful and restrained show it became with Z. I dunno, it just lost too much of what made dragonball good and failed to replace it with anything else that was good. I do believe they could have made things a lot better if they actually changed the mc to the new kids and put some more effort into various other aspects. However, clearly what they made sold. And people still love the repeated combats and new hair colours. ___________ To be fair, its been years on years. Perhaps my memory and impression from back then are wrong and/or would be different now.
I really do hate how most of these characters were shuned in DBZ and becoming supporting actors just for comedic gags. You can even see a stark difference in the freiza saga where bulma was far more relevent in the story compared to arcs after. Keep in mind also originally Akira toriyama wanted to end the manga with the freiza saga, that is why the many arcs that come after feel the least connected to the overarching plot. One of the great things about the OG dragonball though is it feels like a much more cohesive story with far more consistent characterization so I am sure you will love it for that aspect alone.
What's crazy we never see Oolong and Puar transform ever again after Dragonball was over. In Dbz and Dbs they never transform at all. Im guessing toriyama forgot about it or at that point the shape shifting transformation wasn't necessary no more
Ok I'm not reading All the way down to see if anyone answered that question but average power level of a human Is 5 at this episode goku's power level is 12 as far as I can tell from 5 regular humans PL don't go up too much, also this be fiction but it is fun tryna figure it out. 😅
i actually miss this era of Dragon Ball, Toriyama seemed so random and creative with his ideas and jokes, but modern Dragon ball feels too " Kid Friendly " and boring to watch outside of the fight scenes. just look at oolongs dialog here compared to dragon ball super.
@@saphcal the none-fighting slice of life parts of Dragon Ball have always been the most interesting parts. Especially the parts we don’t see like Commander Red X colonial Violet which is where Magenta from the new movie came from.
You know, it is really weird how after Dragon Ball, Oolong never shapeshifted again. Same with Puar. It's the one major contribution they made to the team and then the series just never acknowledged that they could do that again. Granted, when you really think about it, the ability did become pretty worthless in Z and... I just answered my own question.
And I hate the spoil is for you And I may hit the spoil list for you. But buma's wish is pretty selfish. A boy toy when find out she is rish girl who could have built one ? Logic

I wish they would have given Oolong a kid voice in this dub, the fact they gave him his adult voice makes it weird

Keep that in mind with each introduction of the characters. 😁
Im sure with enough time bulma could have broken the "kill goku programs"
Imagine if Goku still did his Pat-Pat to check people’s genders. Like picture him if he did it to Frieza.
god i wish lmao
And he's still be unsure...
