"Piccolo babysitting" and "casual fashion" too! Famous scenes gather as the official "Dragon Ball" account asks for characters' "unexpected sides"

Fans have been leaving various comments in response to a question from the official "Dragon Ball" account, which asked, "What scene comes to mind when you think of 'an unexpected side of that character'?", drawing significant attention.

The image attached to the post shows Majin Buu (Good), who appears in the series. The plump Buu, with his characteristic antenna, is squinting and grimacing with cold sweat pouring down his face. Inside the manga panel, the large words "Not scared" and a speech bubble with a "?" are drawn, making it a memorable scene that highlights the gap of a top-tier powerful character being intensely flustered despite his words.

The story of "Dragon Ball" begins with an adventure surrounding the Dragon Balls, secret treasures that can grant any wish when seven of them are gathered, depicting battles and the bonds between friends. The anime broadcast started in 1986, and multiple series such as "Dragon Ball Z" and "Dragon Ball Super" have been produced since then. Based on the manga of the same name by Akira Toriyama, it is a globally loved, representative work of Japanese entertainment.

In response to the official question, fans have been flocking to point out various "unexpected sides." Recalling an anime-original episode, one fan posted an image from the episode where Goku and Piccolo go to get their driver's licenses, commenting, "Everyone knows this. It's that legendary scene." Other voices focused on specific techniques and actions within the work, mentioning scenes with a gap that one wouldn't imagine from their usual cool demeanors, such as "Tien Shinhan when he uses the Volleyball Attack" and "Piccolo babysitting."

Furthermore, fans paying attention to daily-life depictions left comments mixed with heartwarming speculation about Goku and Vegeta's private lives, such as "Goku and Vegeta's casual fashion when they aren't training or fighting. I bet their wives picked those outfits out for them," causing a major stir in the reply section.
