    I didn’t know Master Roshi was unaging (anymore) or that Killin really doesn’t have a nose. Thought the lack of nose was just a drawing style thing.

    The early stuff sounds a lot more entertaining!

      Dragonball (not Z) is pretty funny and goofy. Early DBZ is also kind of goofy, but steadily takes the fights more seriously over each arc. Characters like Mr. Satan and Bu bring back some of the goofball comedy in later episodes, but the ratio of funny to fighting is basically flipped from DB to DBZ.

      I think that’s actually what it was, then got made into a joke. I also forgot about the reverse werewolf, wolfman or whatever. He wanted to kill Jackie Chun(Master Roshi in disguise)because he blew up the moon(yes, same moon Picollo later blew up again. Kami put it back together after getting rid of Goku’s tail). His real reason?

      He’s a wolfman who turns human during the full moon, and now he cant get a girlfriend. So they use Krillin’s bald head to fake being the moon and he transforms… Into a human uglier than his wolf form. He’s happy but Krillin comments he probably had a better chance as a wolfman.
