Manga Review 09
Chapter 016 – Rabbit Ears

In a nutshell: “Anyway, everyone freaks out at Bulma and runs screaming because STD’s radiate from every pore of her being. I’m just kidding, I like Bulma. I’m sure she takes regular penicillin injections.”

Chapter 015 – The Qi Xing Qiu is Found

In a nutshell: “Kame Sennin remembers Son Gohan (the old, dead one) telling him he picked up a boy with a tail. 20 years or so later, he will also remember the part Gohan told him about Goku being found in a crater, inside an alien spacecraft.”

Manga Review 07
Chapter 014 – Kame Sennin’s Kamehame Ha!!

In a nutshell: “Kame Sennin mocks Gyumao for not being able to deal with the blaze himself, although I’m not sure you can punch or chop an inferno with an axe until it goes out. Next time I’m trapped in a burning building, I’ll have to try it.”

Manga Review 06
Chapter 012 – Searching for Kame Sennin

In a nutshell: “(He) manages to epic lie his way out of it by saying he only hit her because he was mad crazy in love with her, yo. And suddenly I realise the true source of over a decades worth of “Yamucha the Desert Spouse Abuser” fanfics involving him and Bulma.”

Manga Review 05
Chapter 011 – The Gyumao of Mount Frypan

In a nutshell: “One of the VIZ editions, I forget which, has him yell that he doesn’t have a lolita complex, potentially making the book (Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov) one of the few things he stole as a bandit. I bet that’s one thing the lonely git stole that he didn’t sell.”

Chapter 010 – The Great Robbery Plan

In a nutshell: “I guess it’d be his final victory if he made the wish and then a propeller that came loose from a plane somehow, I don’t feel like thinking of a scenario for that, sliced off his head. But is that what VIZ really intended me to think about when they printed that line?”

Manga Review 03
Chapter 009 – Dragon Balls in Danger!!

In a nutshell: “They realise that the capsule they were going to steal is actually a house-wagon, now out of its capsule. Pu’reh remarks that this makes it harder to steal, which isn’t really true considering they could just, oh I don’t know, drive the damn thing away.”

Manga Review 02
Chapter 008 – Yamucha Should Be Afraid!!

In a nutshell: “Pu’reh is being really bloodthirsty and to someone who mainly thinks of Pu’reh as the vaguely feminine cat that fainted a lot in the Saiyan saga anime episodes it’s really creepy.”

Manga Review 01
Chapter 007 – Yamucha and Pu’reh

In a nutshell: “It seems for all his talk, Yamucha doesn’t have much bloody success at this banditry game if he spends his days fantasising about Moo Shoo chicken while eating ramen alone in a hollowed out rock.”
