其之六
Chapter 6

ウーロン対決孫悟空
Oolong Faces SON Gokuu

Story

Oolong tells Gokuu that now would be the time to apologize, insisting that he is very scary and strong, but Gokuu is simply bored of all the talking and wants to fight. As Oolong finally decides to begin the fight, he looks at a clock, and suddenly runs out of the village, yelling to hold on a minute. Gokuu runs after him, only to find a small, anthropomorphic pig outside of the village. Gokuu asks him if he's seen a bull, so the pig points to his left, and Gokuu runs off in that direction. However, the pig admits that he is actually Oolong's true form. A narration box reveals the mystery of Oolong: the time of Oolong's transformation is only five minutes. (Within those five minutes, he can transform as many times as he wants.) And then, for him to transform again, he must take a one minute rest.

Gokuu returns to the village and says that Oolong is nowhere to be found. But Oolong looks at his watch, and notes that a whole minute has now passed, so he can transform again. This time, though, Oolong enters the village as a large, armored robot, equipped with chopsticks and a bowl of soup. He challenges Gokuu again, declaring that he will put Gokuu into this soup and eat him. However, he accidentally sticks his thumb into the soup and burns himself, which he blames Gokuu for. A little boy then shoots Oolong in the back of the head with a slingshot, which causes Oolong to scream in agony as a woman quickly takes the boy away. Gokuu begins to think Oolong is actually quite weak, which Oolong promptly denies. But now Oolong wants to know how strong Gokuu is, laying out some bricks for the boy to smash with one hand. Instead, Gokuu uses one finger, causing Oolong to transform into a bat and fly away.

Blooma yells at Gokuu to go catch Oolong, so Gokuu calls for the Somersault Cloud, and then flies after him. Oolong notices Gokuu chasing him and decides to change into a rocket to gain even more speed. But Gokuu still maintains a steady chase, until the five minutes run out and Oolong is forced to change back into a pig. Gokuu catches him and promptly takes him back to the village, where he is tied up and held on a leash. The villagers want the girls back now, so Oolong humbly leads everyone to his house. Along the way, the old woman, Baozi, hands Blooma the Liu Xing Qiu. Said house is rather large and fancy. The girls' parents rush in, only to find their daughters relaxing and living the life of luxury. Oolong explains that he wanted a nice girl, and he's glad to get rid of these fussy, extravagant ones.

Some time later, Gokuu, Blooma, and Oolong ride along a river in a capsule motorboat towards the next Dragon Ball. Gokuu wonders why they brought Oolong along, so Blooma explains that his transformation ability might be useful. Oolong, however, is not interested...until Blooma says she is considering sleeping in only her underwear tonight. Gokuu then pat-pats Oolong and notes that he is male. Oolong yells that it should be pretty obvious by looking, and proclaims his hatred for men.

Miscellaneous

• The title page for this chapter is the first to feature no color. The chapter itself is also the first to have zero color pages and be entirely black and white.
• Although Oolong made his debut in the previous chapter, this chapter features the first appearance of his true form.
• This chapter has the only instance of Gokuu pat-patting a male in the manga. This is not the case in the anime, however.
• Although Blooma hints that she may sleep in nothing but her underwear that night, she would actually wear even less than that, as seen in Chapter 9.
• Despite the fact that the main theme of this chapter is the battle between Gokuu and Oolong, neither of them ever actually lays his hands on the other.
