Update on censorship
Viz no longer publishes uncensored Dragon Ball manga. For example in Dragon Ball volume 9 Bulma's breasts are now covered up with a bra. If you have noticed any changes in the "new" editions of Dragon Ball volumes 1 - 3, which had quite a lot of nudity, please update the page.
- With regards that section, I reworded it as some of the terminology (technically uncensored?? It either is or it isn't) and grammar used was pretty shoddy. ShizuokaSensei 01:17, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
In volume 1 Bulma's breast and butt are coverd with bubbles when Yumcha looks in the shower.Mr.Rachel 19:33, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
I would also like to note that the only nudity censored is female nudity. Goku is left uncensored, his child private areas included. Rather a double-standard. I would rather Goku's male anatomy be censored if they're going to censor Bulma's female anatomy.
I concure on that. does anybody have a link for the uncensored footage of bulma? i have the first manga and it shows her nude but i cant find 2 and 3. also whats the hold up on the anime being released uncensored?wrestlinglover420 19:33, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Other Notes
I don't know anything about the Dragon Ball Manga, however I was under the impression that they only dealt with Goku as a child and not the later experiences in Dragon Ball Z. Could someone shed some light on this, or edit the document accordingly? Perhaps we should have Dragon Ball Manga and Dragon Ball? (Anime) Agent Confused Smith.
Opinion
Hi, think this linked article should be nuked: Dragon Ball Powerlevels. For obvious reasons.
Could use some help with naming an article
This is the best place I found for this: In spring 2003, an esteemed Finnish psychologist by the name of Raisa Cacciatore accused the Dragon Ball manga series, the first albums of which are circa PG-13, of containing pedophilia. Those who had actually read them dismissed the allegation as absurd, but it managed to whip up a media panic and the comic was hounded out of the country. And now I wish to write an article about it, but being a non-native speaker naming isn't my forté and I know I have a tendency to be incomprehensible at times, so could I get some suggestions at to what I should call it? -- Kizor 08:53, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Naming
Note that Google indicates that "Dragonball" (one word) is the more common spelling on the internet. However, "Dragon Ball" (with a space) is the official title both for the English manga and anime. I'd really hate to have to change the spacing everywhere... I vote that we keep it with the space. JRP 01:41, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
The correct one is "Dragonball", without the space.
Naming Conventions
Here is a quick table (which we may add to as we go along) with the names chosen for each DB name choice: what the anime and manga differences are, and what name wins the Google test. This is not a suggestion that we rename existing articles to match without discussion, but it does get us on the table an idea how things are laid out to help us make better decisions.
Names without controversy: Oolong, Yamcha
Merge Android (Dragon Ball) ??
I found Android (Dragon Ball) randomly. It doesn't seem to be linked from here and seems short and a bit abandoned. Would it not be more happy merged into the main article? I know nothing about Dragon Ball, so I'm not really able to judge myself. Could we in any case have "this is an article about a television series" introductions on each please?

Dragon Ball page that needs clean up
Oceanus Shenron needs a big clean up, thanks--nixie 05:34, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
More Double-Meaning Names
What about Piccolo, Piano, Tambourine, Drum, and Flute? Shouldn't they be included on the roll-call of bad puns? Brutannica 00:13, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Dragon Ball AF
For the record, I think this old issue needs to be laid to rest, especially seeing as how it was already brought up on the "article" side of this entry. I was told once that it was a hoax and that "AF" stood for "April Fools"... I have no idea whether or not this actually true, but it does seem plausible. Any additional infomation on this matter would be helpful. Also, I was downloaded a file with that name from eMule, but it turned out to be nothing more than an episode of Gundam--this is probably useless data, but you never know. Sweetfreek 06:13, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
It's just an April Fool.
External link section too large
Someone should trim the list of external links. Long lists of external links are invitations for link spammers to add theirs as well. Also, there's is little point in having link in foreign languages (Italian, Japanese) if we have so many in English already. Rl 06:29, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
Suggested Improvements
I really think the Dragonball article shouldn't have Dragonball Z stuff except for a link. The Dragonball manga and anime are very different especially the movies. Also I really wish the article would do a better job of summarizing the manga. Due to Funimation starting with the Namek saga or the Sayajin saga I think a lot of people are out of whack when it comes to Dragonball as opposed to Japanese fans that experinced Dragonball chornologically as it was meant to be. Maybye a volume by volume summary? I just feel that everytime I read something about Dragonball on the internet it sounds very weird.
Manga vs Anime
Should stuff only seen in the anime be in the Dragonball manga article when it could be put in the Dragonball Z article? Also I disagree with some parts of the Redemption section. Buu wasn't converted to good, he was destroyed and brought back evil. Also I don't think redemption plays a big role in Dragonball besides maybye Piccolo. It was more of two enemies facing a mutal stronger enemy than redemption.
Android 8
Thought you guys might like to know that someone created Android 8. its beyond my area of expertise so i thought u guys might be interested in cleaning it up. -- Bubbachuck 07:03, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
Some answers
Just a passer-by on this page but wanted to clarify a couple of points (since I've started reading the manga since it first came out and has collected every single manga and animation).
The manga does not just deal with Goku as a child (as suggested by one of the postings above), but deals with Dragon Ball Z as well all the way to the end of the Majin Buu saga.
Dragonball GT is the last of the series, and any rumours from the internet about AF or other series are false and do not exist - only as fanfiction or doujinshi.
Android 8 appeared early in the manga series, created by the Red Ribbon army. He's in the figure of Frankenstein, and was used by the ninja in the hope that it (he?) would help to defeat Goku. However, Android 8 hated violence and instead stood on Goku's side. When Goku was shot by Captain White, it (he?) got angry and give Captain White a fierce punch.

Chi/Qi/Ki
It might deserve it's own page in wikipedia... But... There ought be any and all data on the chi's of characters (next to a list of their name and the race they belong to)
I agree with you on this, it might be useful to have an article that gives a good amount of information, based on what is talked about in the show, on Ki the article, as you point out, would be well with in topic by listing the characters basic estimated power levels in spreadsheet form -Evirus 69.14.33.214 06:43, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Some comments
You didn't even read my comment, I have family overseas. It's not from 2002, I know all of toriyama's work by the dates, and I know about that add from 2002, that was for his new children's book toccio the angel, and I know about neko majin z, so what are you talking about?
The stuff I am talking about was not released to the general public, and gt was bought after its 64 episode run on Fuji tv, Toei sold gt after that, and another company continued gt non-publically until 2000, so gt is really from 1995-2000, not 1996-1997, remember, Toei's gt aired a week after z ended.The GT that was bought after episode 64 never aired, nor did the z ultimate series. released straight to tape to a certain audience. NO MORE WILL BE PRODUCED DUE TO LOW DEMAND IN THE HOME COUNTRY.
Then after that in the YEAR 2000, a 4th series was made called dbz ultimate. Look at the freakin dates.
project-x is the name of the company, that is all I know. It has something to do with NHK, and that interview with toriyama already took place, but nobody has uploaded it? why? I will tell you why, info. Sure, we have the rights to the first 3 series, who said we were going to get it all? Who said they have to tell us everything they are doing? Get real. This way, it will be more respected.
cousin found that on a website.ssj5 (1997-2000 年) のDragonball GT のエピソード594 、及びDragonball z ultimate(2000-present) ssj9 佐藤の空との第4 シリーズ。 それはToriyama のdiscernment のnon-public 解放である、あるが確実な、決して乾燥されて、持っていない。If you can read it, tell me what the kanji says.
One more thing, stop copying and pasting other people's entries, julian and
