Chichi is definitely not a modern feminist, given her subservience to Goku.

IIRC episode 149-153 are all filler...great way to end the series, Toei.

I don't have the dates, but I am wondering if this jumped right in DBZ and Toei was just buying time or something.

Just like the beginning of the series, it seems like they're doing all of these Journey to the West parallels.

According to Dragonball.wikia.com:
Episode 153 of Dragon Ball first aired on April 19, 1989
and...
Episode 1 of Dragon Ball Z first aired on April 26, 1989

So, nope, they didn't just air this filler concurrently with DBZ. They were probably just waiting for the manga to get a bit further in.

Episode 148 of Dragon Ball aired on March 8, 1989, and the Dragon Ball Manga was currently up to Chapter 212.

Dragon Ball Z starts at chapter 195 of the manga, so with only 17 manga chapters to work with, I'm guessing they wanted to take a break from the main story for a month or two.

By the time the Dragon Ball Z anime started, the Dragonball manga was up to Chapter 219...

meaning they had a 24 chapter buffer.

Hmm, things have definitely calmed down. I see so the remaining episodes are filler, pretty good so far though.

Very bland episode. Kind of wanted to see Chi-Chi's mother's face. Also the most interesting thing to see was Chi-Chi's chi-chis which didn't happen due to Oolong's species.

The Oolongs picking on him for being the perv when they all are. Fortune Teller Baba has helped Goku a couple times now.

I mean ChiChi is really cute. I'm more than happy to watch drawn out proceedings of her and Goku's wedding until the series is over. But first of all can we not have more Oolongs one was bad enough. And second this plot is way too fucking stupid. In what world would the Old dude not burn up a thousand times over while Goku's scrambling for the fan. Pretty stupid, pretty god damn stupid.

The Ox King is now in his familiar Z attire, which to me is far superior to the shit he was rocking prior.

interesting idea but definitely doesn't feel right to end the series on some fillers

Oh my! shouldn't Gyumao be dead by the time they get back?

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

This is the second time the Ox-King's castle goes up in flames. What sort of luck is he overdosing on? Why did the castle suddenly get enveloped with fiery flames? Is his castle built above a volcano site or something? He needs to pick some better locations next time.

Goku's innocence regarding the whole wedding idea is quite cute. He is like a lost puppy, looking around for clues and trying to figure things out. And do all talking pigs look the same? They all act and look alike that it is very hard to tell them apart.

The Ox-King's new outfit and demeanor make him seem like a conventional school nerd. I still like this new change, though.

No wonder Goku mixed the pigs up with Oolong. They are like blank slates. I hope they don't mess up these final filler episodes though. All of them have at least been decent, so it would be a shame if they suddenly were to decline.

4 Eps to go


Good to see Ox king again. For the first time I saw his face. Nice look though. I wonder how did these flames came up. Is the curse not done yet?

This Ulong village is similar to Ulong. All are same here. Lucky Chichi!! But Baba had some bad luck, haha!!! However they found the recipe of Bansho Fan. Again to the Master Roushi's ...
