Bulma is so annoying I hope she dosent get to waste a wish on a boyfriend but from what oolong said and then got cut off she's going to have a change of heart in the future. I can't wait to see what will happen next but I can't see where this series is going seeing as they've nearly got the Dragon Balls.

Not that great, once again. I'm finding Goku's idiocy kind of grating and the others aren't much better. Though, I do find the idiot villains amusing.

Contrary to how many might feel, I actually like that they're getting all the dragon balls so fast. It kind of forces new plot developments to come up and doesn't turn a large portion of the series plot-wise into a simple, trite "quest for the mystical number of magical items". I like how the story is moving quickly. This way, other interesting things can happen--the dragonballs get stolen, the wish goes wrong, they have to start the search over again, etc.

Yes, you're right - at this point I'm wondering why Bulma is still after her wish...

I just realized that Pilaf's voice actor also plays Buggy in One Piece. After googling him, it turns out Shigeru Chiba also plays Raditz in DBZ. So there's a fun fact for those that didn't know. ;)

Another thing I noticed is that after Pilaf places the six Dragon Balls in a straight line, but on Pilaf's radar they appear arranged just like the stars on the Six-Star Ball. But this inconsistency is really no big deal.

I really enjoyed this episode. Yamucha's reactions to Bulma are pretty entertaining.

I hope Bulma becomes less annoying in the future. I hate how she doesn't even realize that wishing for a boyfriend is a stupid idea.

I agree. For me this was the best episode yet for precisely the reasons you've described. It's taking a long time to get going but the show is gradually getting better. I think what people need to keep in mind is that there can be multiple quests to reunite the balls. Obviously once a wish is granted they're separated again so I assume the drama will only continue after the first wish, hence why I'm glad they're not taking a long time getting all the balls.

Ah, Bulma sure can get irritating at times, wishing for a perfect boyfriend? How is that meaningful? It is quite naive. There is no such thing as perfection, and it should stay this way. I am sure Bulma will see the error of her self-centered wish. Why I think Yamcha would make a good romantic partner if she decides to give him a chance.

And just how did they fall for this trap by the end of the episode? It was quite obvious, at least Bulma or Oolong should have been able to smell something fishy. Oh well, what happened, happened.

I am curious. 11 episodes in, and they're already this much closer to collecting all the Dragon Balls? I wonder what's in store for this series in future episodes. And since the Dragon Balls are as valuable as the series makes it out to be, why is no one else chasing after them? Why is it just Pilaf and his gang? Or is the whole chase happening background and behind the scenes? I hope it is the last case.

@_Tokumei-no_ Legendary artifacts from centuries ago in a relatively contemporary world are probably not well known outside of those involved in their history (and they're only a few here). Bulma got acquainted with it accidentally at first, same with Goku. We can imagine Pilaf and the following ennemies learned it from some old rumour / legend.

Now that I think about it, despite Master Roshi being a legendary figure for centuries, even he has been shown not to know the Dragon Balls artifacts, cementing the idea that, supposedly, only people who are knowingly involved in its history are aware of it.
