| This is going to be an on-going project to include interesting notes about the Dragon Ball world, based on new data that was published in the 4th coffee table book: DBZ: The World. 1) The Earth Dragon Balls and the Namek Balls start out being able to grant one wish at a time, but the Earth Balls need 1 year to recharge, while the Namek Balls only need 130 days. The Namek Balls are also 5 times larger. 2) Shenlon is the name of the dragon summoned when the Earth Dragon Balls are gathered, while the Namek Dragon is named Polunga. In a side-by-side size comparison, Polunga is shown to be 5 times larger than Shenlon. 3) There have been 22 wishes made in the series, and the dragons have been summoned for a total of 14 times. 4) The manga identifies all of the (at the time) living full-blooded Saiya-jin to be: Radditz, Nappa, Vegeta, and Goku. Half-breeds are: Gohan, Trunks, Goten, and Bra. Pan is the only Saiya-jin Quarter. 5) The Ginyuu 5-man team that fought for Freeza have a team emblem on their fighting jackets. That emblem is a stylized image of team leader Ginyuu's head. 6) Bulma's parents have consistently been identified as: Dr. Briefs, and "Bulma's mother". 7) The physical layout of The Other World is kind of like any empty rice bowl with whipped cream floating above it, encircled by a huge glass sphere. At the top of the sphere is a small planet identified as Dai Kaiou's Planet. Then, there is a bigger planet identified as Heaven. Next, we have the whipped cream -- a huge mass of flattened-out clouds. In the center of the top of the clouds is Enma Daiou's entrance gatehouse, and the airplane that takes souls to heaven. Leading north from the gatehouse is the snake road that reaches Kaiou-sama's planet near the outskirts of the glass sphere. Under the clouds, within the rice bowl, is Hell. Outside of the glass sphere are: The new Namek planet, Kaiou-shin's planet, Pui Pui's planet (Pui Pui is Babi-di's henchman; the planet is named Zun); Yakon's planet (Yakon is another of Babi's hench-monsters, and the planet is named Ankoku); Planet Vegeta, and Freeza's Planet #79. |
