Red Ribbon Army Arc is my favourite for its world-building & introducing a ton of distinct, likable characters. All the way frm Ox King's homeland to Silver's base camp, or North's White Shogun & Muscle Tower or Blue Shogun/underwater pirate cave setting to Yellow Shogun (freakin tiger!l!) in Karin's land/Tao Pai Pai & Red Commander/Black. There are so many backdrop varieties to keep the chase interesting. With that being said, Penguin Village was my least favourite of the lot. I knows it plays to the gallery with Arale (another Toriyama's creation) which provides fan-service. It just doesnt blend imo. Blue being the badass mean with pyschic powers being defeated by Arale was off putting for me. I wish Toriyama/TOEI had ommited that part completly. Had a strong "Dr.Slump" impression rather than DB's. My 2 cents |

Funnily enough, i didnt even remember that part of the story the first time through. It's pretty cringey, maybe my brain tried too forget about it lol. All in all, very Toriyama, but very ill-fitting at the same time. |

Penguin Village in Dragon Ball was Toriyama trying to fight against the series being all about fighting and adding some gag elements. He said that even he wasn't satisfied with this result though. The two series are completely different and don't mix well. Dragon Ball's hardly the most serious story ever, especially at this point, but it's still pretty grounded and limited by certain rules (after the Pilaf saga). Dr Slump from what I know is a more Bugs Bunny type thing, with no real story, new powers as the plot demands, tons of fourth wall breaking etc. I don't really like the idea of the two universes existing together. Though the small section that was shown in Dragon Ball wasn't too over the top so it's easy to imagine this Arale being different to the one in her manga. |
