50 Amazing Things You Didn’t Know About “Dragon Ball”!!!

So, how many of these do you actually know? These facts cover
all three Dragon Ball anime series (Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z ,
and Dragon Ball GT ).
1. Goku has perfomed the "Kamehameha" a total of 97 times
throughout all three series.
2. Actor Sean Shemmel passed out while voicing Goku's epic
transformation to Super Saiyan Level 4 in the English-language
dub of Dragon Ball GT.
3. Bulma's name roughly translates to "panties."
4. Bulma goes through 17 different
hairstyles throughout the series.
5. Akira Toriyama, creator of Dragon Ball, named Piccolo as his
favorite character. He says, "It really is cliché when bad guys
turn into good guys, but it just feels great drawing it!"
6. Hitler makes an appearance in the movie Dragon Ball Z: Fusion
Reborn. Hitler was ultimately defeated by Goten and Trunks.
7. Goku's mother is a Saiyan known as
Gine.
8. Launch, who appeared throughout the first Dragon Ball series,
never appears in
Dragon Ball Z because Akira Toriyama
"forgot" she existed.
9. Namekians grow at a faster rate than humans or Saiyans. For
this reason, Piccolo is a full grown adult at the age of 3 when
he fights Goku at the World Martial Arts Tournament. Also, he's
only
four years older than Gohan during the Saiyan saga.
10. Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta first appeared in the 2009 video game
Dragon Ball Z: Dragon Battlers that was only released in Japan.
11. Future Trunks, Present Trunks, and Gogeta are revealed to
have Super Saiyan 3 capabilities in the 2012 video game Dragon
Ball Heroes .
12. Android 17's real name is Lapis.
13. Android 18's real name is Lazuli.
14. In Arab dubs of the show, Saiyans "summon" their Great Ape
forms as opposed to transforming at the sight of the moon.
15. The fight between Goku and Frieza took up a total of three
and a half hours of screen time, making it the longest fight in
anime history.
16. Vegeta, one of the Universe's strongest warriors, has a fear
of worms .
17. Yu-Gi-Oh's Tyler the Great Warrior was modeled after Future
Trunks.
18. In an alternate and more depressing
Dragon Ball Z timeline, "Perfect" Cell kills off Future Trunks
after he goes back to the future. Since Future Trunks was the
last remaining Saiyan, this means that his death officially
marks the extinction of the Saiyan race. It also means that
earth is left to rot as a wasteland.
19. Future Trunks received his sword from Tapion, as revealed in
movie The Wrath of the Dragon .
20. Broly and "The Legendary Super Saiyan" are not the same.
"The Legendary Super Saiyan" actually self-destructed as a
Golden Oozaru 1,000 years prior to the Saiyans' arrival to
earth.
21. Cooler, Broly, and Baby from Dragon Ball GT were all
defeated by being blasted into the sun.
22. Unlike humans, Saiyan hairstyles always remain the same.
23. During the cell games saga, King Kai
claimed to know about the "Instant Transmission" technique but
never taught it to Goku because he never asked. This means that
Goku COULD HAVE arrived to fight the Saiyans and SAVED THE LIVES
of Piccolo, Yamcha, Chaotzu and Tien.
24. Nappa had hair.
25. The six dots on Krillin's forehead are from incense burns
from his time training to be a monk at Orin Temple.
26. In the manga version of Dragon Ball,
nudity was frequently used, especially for Bulma.
27. Majin Buu is five million years old.
28. Goten was originally brought in with the intention of
replacing Goku as the main character. However, fans widely
disapproved.
29. There are no female Namekians, since they reproduce
asexually by giving birth to eggs through their mouth.
30. Because Android 17 and 18 are technically twins, and Krillin
married Android 18, this would mean that Android 17 is Krillin's
brother-in-law , and Dr. Gero is his father-in-law.
31. Broly's power level was 10,000 at the time he was born. This
would mean that his power level as a baby was stronger than
Piccolo (322 ), Goku (334 ), and Raditz (1,500 ) combined.
32. Goku and Yajirobe mistakenly appear twice when all the Manga
books are aligned in order.
33. Kid Buu technically kills Captain Ginyu. When Shen Long
transported all the Namekians to earth, Ginyu was also
transported in his frog form. When Kid Buu destroyed the earth,
Ginyu perished along with everyone else.
34. By the time Dragon Ball Z wraps up, Master Roshi, who is
human, is 354 years old. This is possible because according to
the "Fanning the Flame" chapter in the Dragon Ball manga series,
Turtle explains that Roshi consumed an
"immortality elixer." It should be noted that immortality does
not mean invulnerability, as Roshi dies while performing the
"Evil Containment Wave" against King Piccolo. Roshi would later
be revived by the Dragon Balls.
35. Trunk's favorite food is yankiku , or grilled meat.
36. Frieza is head of the Galactic Trade Organization, a group
that conquers planets and auctions them off at higher prices.
Toriyama based the character off of real estate speculators,
whom Toriyama considers "the worst kind of people."
37. Vegeta and Bulma had a second child named Bra .
38. Chiaotzu has only one strand of hair.
39. Chiaotzu's face appears as a mask in the Naruto manga
series:
Jump Comics

40. One of Goten's favorite foods are
Pocky Sticks.
41. Yamcha has always lost in the quarter finals of every World
Martial Arts Tournament.
42. Yamcha is either killed, severely injured, or already dead
in every saga.
43. Yamcha is actually a baseball player from West City.
44. Goku has only won the World Martial Arts Tournament once.
45. Masako Nozawa is the original Japanese voice of Goku, and
has voiced him for the entire run of the show:

Funimation

46. For a time, Piccolo was the strongest of all the Z Warriors,
including Goku and Vegeta, after he fused with Kami, making him
stronger than any Super Saiyan.
47. The names of Bibidi, Babidi, and Buu were taken from the
lyrics of the famous Cinderella incantation.
48. Goku, Oolong, Bulma, and Yamcha are based off the Chinese
epic, Journey to the West .
49. According to Director James Wang, he had never seen a single
episode or read a book from the manga prior to his involvement
in the 2009 live-action film.
50. Goku has a legit fear of needles and hospital food
