* AdaptationalBadass: In the unofficial Chinese Movie ''Film/DragonBallTheMagicBegins'', Oolong (known as Piggy) can actually get stronger by transforming, and turns into Franchise/{{Rambo}}.



* AgeLift: In the Japanese materials, he's stated to be younger than Goku and it reflects in his actor's voice. In English dubs, he usually sounds like a middle-aged man and speaks as if he's an adult from the start (calling Goku "kid" throughout the first arc, etc). This holds even with the more accurate translations in ''Kai'' and ''Super''.

* DirtyKid: He's a huge pervert either way, but in the Japanese version Oolong is stated to be three years ''younger'' than Goku. Puar explains that in the past Oolong was kicked out of "transformation kindergarten" for stealing the teacher's panties. The English versions portays Oolong as a DirtyOldMan.

* HourOfPower: In the unofficial Chinese Movie ''Film/DragonBallTheMagicBegins'', Oolong (known as Piggy) can actually get stronger by transforming, and turns into Franchise/{{Rambo}}.



* VagueAge: Though he doesn't look any specific age, Oolong was stated early on in the Japanese version to only be nine years old. This was essentially forgotten, as he continued to look identical for in-series decades and ''Daima'' ends up {{Retcon}}ning his young form to look completely different. That the English version made him much older was likely an accident from dubbing ''Z'' first.
* VoicedDifferentlyInTheDub: Oolong's voice in Japanese is very high-pitched, as he was originally meant to be a child. Almost every English dub gives him a deep, craggling voice.

* AgeLift: In the Japanese materials, he starts out being only nine years old (three years younger than Goku) and it reflects in his actor's voice. However, [[DubText most of the English versions]] have him talking like a fairly older man (calling Goku "kid" throughout the first arc, etc). This is prevalent even with the more accurate translations in ''Kai'' and ''Super''.

Not only that, but he's actually ''three years younger'' than Goku, making him only 9 during the first arc of the original series. Bulma even lampshades it in the original Japanese:

* {{Expy}}: One of the more obvious ones among the early characters, as he's the clear equivalent to Zhu Bajie (aka "Piggy") from ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest'' in the group. A significant part of the reason he gets DemotedToExtra so badly is that he made less sense to keep on the further ''DB'' strayed from having ''anything'' to do with ''[=JttW=]''.

* LarynxDissonance: in the Funimation dub, he has a deep voice. This fits in ''Z'' where Oolong is an adult but is odd in the first series where Oolong is a child.

* TeamNormal: Plays this as straight as she can. Without a genius brain, fighting capability, or knowledge of any teaching or techniques, Good Launch is as close to a normal human in the main cast- if not for being a bit ditzy.

* RiddleForTheAges: What exactly causes Lunch to change personalities and even hair color upon sneezing is never explained. Is it the result of some natural part of her? Is the result of some sort of curse? Is it a split personality or more like 2 beings sharing one body? Regardless, it's not said. Good Lunch is shown to be aware of Bad Lunch and even has a vague recollection of her bad side's actions, but whether the opposite is true is also never shown.

Added DiffLines:

* PlotHole: She doesn't age at all during ''Super'' and no reason is given for it. Despite Super starting around 5 years after Buu was killed she still looks the same age as before, and this contrasts with how Goku, Krillin and Gohan aged over the years. Unlike Goten and Trunks who got an excuse for it[[note]]in [[Anime/DragonBallSuperSuperHero Super Hero]] Gohan claims that saiyans don't grow up for years until they hit a growth spurt, and that explanation contradicts how Gohan visibly grew over the years[[/note]], nothing of the like is said about Marron, and the last time she showed up in ''Super'' was during the preparations for the Tournament of Power, and when she shows up in End of Z she looks like a teenager, meaning she went from looking and acting like she's less than 5 to a teenager in ''three years''.

* JailbaitTaboo: She's mistaken for being much older. Then again, if Vegeta found out you were having sex with his preteen daughter, [[PapaWolf you wouldn't live long enough to go to jail, and even if you did, he'd still find you]].

* HeroicLineage: She comes from ''two'' heroic lineages. Her grandfather, Goku, is a warrior who saved the Earth countless times and her father saved the world from Cell and was critical to everyone's survival during the Saiyan Invasion and Namek. Her other grandfather, Mr. Satan, is a BadassNormal who in a world of {{Super Weight}}s is relegated to FakeUltimateHero; he is seen as the world's savior but really did help save the world from Cell, though he played a small but key role in the last stand against Buu ([[CombinedEnergyAttack yes, really!]]). Her mother is a BadassNormal who used to help the police fight crime on a regular basis without any Ki or superpowers.

* AdaptationalBadass: She's never shown fighting in ''GT'', where most of her screen time is. In ''VideoGame/DragonBallFusions'', she can kick ass with the rest of them (which she proudly attributes to her parentage), being a MovesetClone of Pan. Subvertedly PlayedForLaughs in ''VideoGame/DragonBallZDokkanBattle'', where she fights fine normally, but her Super Attack has her push Vegeta into the battlefield to have him fire off his Galick Gun or Final Flash.
