1) What am I seeing? Also in Penguin Village (Dr. Slump vol. #25) a martial arts tournament takes place, and it is even called... Sekaiichi! Well, maybe we're wrong if we call it only a martial arts tournament, because of all the things happening there and the lack of rules... and moreover there we can meet Arale-chan...

2) As you can see in the table, Sekaiichi and our famous Tenkaichi Budokai are organized in the same way: it's just like to see semifinal matches since there are 10 contenders and, if this is interesting for you, I'll list them below (No matter if it isn't... I'll do it anyway!). Here they are...

- Arale (Penguin Village)
- Dr. Slump (Penguin Village)
- Tsun Tsukutsun (Penguin Village)
- Dr. Mashirito masked as Caramelman 9 (Penguin Village)
- Zonoshiri Zeki (Japanese sumo wrestler)
- Pampunch (professional boxer from Pelican Village)
- Renault Citroen (catch-champion from France)
- Dogzilla (monster from southern islands)
- Mr. Heyheyhoo (giant woodsman from Canada)
- Killer Sniper (agent SWAT from Yon Francisco (!))

3) This time Arale-chan and her two Gacchans have done it! They have to face no less than God, or better Kami himself! (always in Dr. Slump vol. #25) But... this God doesn't recall someone to your mind?

Sure!!! He's just Muten Roshi's copy spit, without his dark glasses and with an added star on his forehead! And moreover, also his manners are almost the same!

4) Let's end with a very special anticipation of the Saiyans (Dr. Slump vol. #27)! We can see the chinese Tsun Tsukutsun revealing is beastly nature thanks to the anger accrued against a monster that neither Arale-chan is able to defeat. Tell me if he doesn't recall to your mind our dear Goku before turning SSJ!?! Moreover, I tell this for people who don't know, Tsun had already showed on many occasions a double nature: in fact if a woman touches him, he turns a humanoid tiger and can return normal only if he's touched by a man (Well... so it isn't so original the story of "Fruits Basket" * ).

* Manga and anime created by Natsuki Takaya where some characters are victims of a malediction and, when they are embraced by people of opposite sex, they turn one of the animals of Jyuunishi, the chinese zodiac.

Well, that's all folks! I hope I'll be useful again and again! (But how can I do if "Dr. Slump and Arale-chan" is finished?! Well... always there will be something to tell about Toriyama's work!) Bye Bye!!
