"Why did you have to go and tell me that, Bulma? You know that I'm highly allergic to danger."
— "Nappa's Rampage"


Oolong (ウーロン Ūron), also known as Woolong, is a protagonist in the Dragon Ball manga and its anime adaptation Dragon Ball, making minor appearances in Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT and Dragon Ball Super as well. He is an anthropomorphic, shapeshifting pig who met Bulma and Goku while on their quest finding the Dragon Balls. After their adventure, he begins living at Capsule Corporation in West City. He plays a large role in the beginning of Dragon Ball, but by the end of Dragon Ball Z, he just shows up from time to time in the company of Master Roshi.

Overview[]

Concept and creation[]

Firstdraftdbgang

Oolong's original design on the right in Toriyama's first draft

Oolong is loosely based on the character Zhu Bajie from the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West.

In Akira Toriyama's early manga Dragon Boy, the character Pingyao was an early take on the character with the same personality and abilities, but with Puar's appearance.

In the first draft of Dragon Ball, Toriyama drew upon Zhu Bajie's traditional iconography and depicted Oolong as a large anthropomorphic pig bearing a war rake. The character's current form was developed in the third draft.

Appearance[]

Oolong2

Oolong looking nervous

Oolong's normal form is of a humanoid pig, standing about three feet tall with pale pink skin. Initially, he wore a Korean War-era Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) uniform, although later he tended to dress in trousers, button-down shirts or vests, and suspenders.

The fact that Oolong is a pig wearing a Chinese Communist army uniform implies Akira Toriyama's message behind this character. Also, Oolong has a darker attitude in his early appearances. This whole concept is dropped with the beginning of the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament.

Personality[]

Like Master Roshi, he enjoys smoking cigars and is a pervert, but considerably less so. His favorite hobby is collecting women's underwear. Oolong is cynical and cowardly, and he is not hesitant to admit it; in fact, he is downright proud of his wimpish traits. Ironically Oolong is three years younger than Goku, Bulma points this out with the line "what kind of kid acts like a middle aged pervert" in the original Japanese version of episode 6. A running gag in both Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z is Oolong constantly being beaten up by Bulma during the World Martial Arts Tournaments due to her anxiety over the fighting. At one point, Bulma became so habitually accustomed to this that when Oolong moved away from Bulma before she could hit him, she found it surprising and looked for him. He is also there to provide comic relief and is often very sarcastic. Similar to the stereotypical depiction of pigs, he is also shown at times to be a huge glutton, as in Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan, he was enjoying the immense feast that Paragus prepared for him, Goku, and Roshi, and even went as far as to threaten to eat the entire banquet if Goku didn't start eating (as Goku at the time was pondering who the Legendary Super Saiyan was after deducing it wasn't Paragus). His enormous appetite was also implied in the Japanese version of Cooler's Revenge, where Goku after catching a Giant Fish with a single hand remark that its size would be enough to satiate even Oolong's gullet.

He is also perceptive enough to realize the anonymous female fighter at the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament was in fact the grown-up Chi-Chi, a revelation that shocked the rest of his friends none of whom recognized her.

Biography[]

Background[]

Southern Transformation Kindergarten

Oolong was born in Octagon Village, a village filled with other talking perverted pigs like himself.[5] He was expelled from the kindergarten there for kidnapping a teacher.[7] He later attended the Shapeshifting Academy where he always bullied Puar around for lunch money, but was eventually expelled for stealing the teacher's panties (papers in the dub).[8][9] He was able to get a nice mansion next to Aru Village by ripping off lots of people.[10][11]

Oolong after being caught by Goku

Oolong became known as a demon by the residents of Aru Village, since he kidnapped their young women to take care of his house. Unfortunately for him, the young women were quite comfortable being stolen and living in wealth. While trying to claim Pochawompa as his next girl (which he actually planned to be the one he marries), Goku disguises himself as the girl in her place to trick Oolong but soon gives his identity away. Oolong attempts to intimidate Goku using a number of different forms but fails and Goku defeats him, making him release the girls he previously kidnapped.[10][11][12]

Bulma decides that his shapeshifting powers could be useful on her Dragon Ball quest and persuades him with her looks to join their expedition. While heading out with them, Oolong disagrees with the whole idea of going. When he finds out that they are heading to Fire Mountain, Oolong tries to ditch them by transforming into a fish, but he fails as he is captured again. Bulma gives him a "vitamin" that causes him to have to go to the bathroom anytime someone whistles "Piggy!", which Bulma uses to make him obey her and not try to leave, there she learns his shapeshifting abilities are for show, and have no real use for her, and since Bulma lost her Capsule case in a river, the gang is forced to walk the Diablo Desert where Oolong meets up with Puar, a former classmate of which he bullied, teamed up with a desert bandit named Yamcha.[8][9][13]

Oolong in the House Wagon

After Yamcha and Puar flee their fight against Goku, Oolong provided the gang with his House-Wagon for the night. That night Oolong learns from Goku about their quest for the Dragon Balls and that they have the power to grant any wish. After giving Goku and Bulma juice that puts them to sleep, he is planning to steal the Dragon Balls and sneaks up to Bulma's room during the night. Meanwhile, Puar, disguised as Goku, goes upstairs to Oolong. Not wanting Goku to snitch at Bulma that he was upstairs in the bedroom, Oolong takes the form of Bulma and is led outside by the false Goku. After Oolong's five minutes are up, he transforms back to his original form causing Puar to transform in shock that the real Bulma is still in the House-Wagon with Yamcha. The next morning, Oolong begins to drive the House-Wagon towards Fire Mountain but is shot down by Yamcha. Oolong is given a new car by Yamcha after Goku defeats him.[14][15][16]

Oolong at Monster Carrot's Village

Two days later, Oolong and the rest of the gang arrive at Fire Mountain. While not wanting to go near the mountain due to the risk of possibly encountering the Ox-King, Bulma still forces him to go. Oolong and Bulma end up meeting the Ox-King while Goku is away trying to get in the castle. Oolong wets his pants while he appears and thinks he's going to be killed, but then finds out that they are friends with Gohan's grandson Goku and spares them. Oolong waits at Fire Mountain with Bulma and the Ox-King so Goku and the Ox-King's daughter Chi-Chi can retrieve his former teacher Master Roshi to help put out the Flames on his castle. Master Roshi puts the flames out, but for the price of allowing him to touch Bulma's breasts, which makes Bulma force Oolong to transform into her so Roshi can touch them. Oolong takes it too far by completely exposing Bulma's breasts and allowing Roshi to put his face between them, which makes Bulma angry as it reflects badly on her (as Roshi was unaware it was actually Oolong in Bulma's form).

OolongandPuar

Oolong and Puar as bats

While heading to the next location of a Dragon Ball, they stop at Monster Carrot's Village to refill on gas, but Goku ends up messing with the Rabbit Mob, causing their leader Monster Carrot to turn Bulma into a Carrot, but Oolong drives away and avoids the conflict until it's all over. Five of the Dragon Balls that they gained on their quest are stolen by Shu when heading towards Pilaf's Castle. The gang is forced to team up with Yamcha and Puar, who've been following them from a distance for some time. When arriving at Pilaf's Castle, Goku's four star Ball is stolen by having everyone trapped in a room and put to sleep with gas. Oolong and Puar are able to fly out of a hole made by Goku's Kamehameha so they can prevent Emperor Pilaf's plan to wish himself world domination.

Oolongwish

Oolong receiving the panties he wished for from Shenron

Oolong ends up preventing the wish by quickly jumping in and telling Shenron that he wants a girl's pair of panties (in the English dub, he wished for "Comfort in a pair of underwear"). After the wish, Emperor Pilaf becomes angry and has Oolong and the others put into a cell that will fry them by morning. Oolong and the others are able to escape when Goku transforms into a Great Ape from looking at the Full Moon. Oolong helps Yamcha and Puar cut off Goku's tail after the destruction of Pilaf's Castle to revert him to his normal state. Once Goku wakes up, Oolong gives Goku his pants since Goku's clothes were torn off. While saying goodbye to Goku, Oolong heads with Bulma, Yamcha, and Puar to West City.

At around this point, Oolong is taken to the Prison Planet by Fu. But is returned back to this point in time at the conclusion of the events there.

He attends the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament with his friends where he meets back up with Goku and meets Krillin as well. Since non competitors are not allowed to watch the Elimination Rounds, Bulma forces Oolong to let her use him as a stool so she can watch Yamcha fight.

In the Funimation dub, Oolong also nearly spoiled Krillin and Gohan's attempted lookout from sensing something amiss by angrily protesting that he doesn't deserve to be silenced as Icarus was doing "all the squaking." Oolong intended to retreat, although Goku's arrival made this unnecessary. He later stayed behind and had Icarus lick Krillin to have him regain consciousness. They eventually tried to search for Goku and Gohan while at the same time evading the Armored Squadron, eventually finding them in a collapsed cave. Oolong, alongside Icarus, also went to try and find any surviving animals that were caught in the Armored Squadron's destruction of the surrounding area at Goku's request. Oolong later watched over Goku (who had been gravely wounded from an attack by Cooler), while Gohan and Icarus went to retrieve Senzu Beans for Goku. In the Funimation dub, Oolong was also heard trying to roust Goku after the latter passed out in despair as a result of Salza blasting the Senzu Bean bag container. Also, in the Funimation dub, Salza, when his Scouter detected Goku's power increase, initially guessed in shock that Oolong may be the source of the increased power level. Oolong later panicked when Cooler attempted to telekinetically destroy the planet. He later rendezvoused with the group, also witnessing Salza being killed by Piccolo after a failed attempt at ambushing them.

Oolong also expressed disgust with Vegeta's hotheadedness when he rushed with Broly to confront the Legendary Super Saiyan at Planet Totokama. He later participated with Roshi and a newly arrived Goku in a feast prepared by Paragus, and also threatened to eat the entire banquet if Goku didn't hurry up and eat. Oolong later attempted to warn an irate Master Roshi that Paragus is not going to let him or the other Z Fighters leave, but Roshi ignored him, and proceeded to literally drag Oolong by the ears to Paragus to voice his complaints as Paragus was trying to restrain his son from attacking Goku. He later ended up having his feet tickled by Roshi while asleep, also briefly waking up in agony after his foot was bitten by Roshi just as Broly attacked Goku, although otherwise sleeping through the fight. He and Roshi later aided Gohan, Future Trunks, and Krillin in bringing the Shamoan Slaves over to the area Paragus, Vegeta, Goku, and Broly were at to expose Vegeta of Paragus's deception, also witnessing Broly's transformation into the Legendary Super Saiyan. He and the other non-Saiyan Z Fighters attempted to evacuate the Shamoians, but ended up tripping, with Oolong also accidentally running on Krillin's head in an attempt to escape Broly (also mistaking his lack of movement from running in place on Krillin's waxed head as Broly managing to place Oolong inside a tractor beam).

When Beerus is preparing to destroy the Earth, he gives the Earthlings one last chance to avoid their planet's destruction by challenging Oolong to a game of rock-paper-scissors. Yamcha believes that Beerus' motive for choosing Oolong is that he assumes that Oolong has hooves instead of hands, meaning he can only play scissors. Thinking that this means that Beerus will play rock, they tell Oolong to play paper. In the end, however, their strategy fails as Beerus is able to hear the entire plan with his big ears.

After the conclusion of Goku's battle with Beerus, Oolong starts attacking Goku upon realizing that he had been watching everyone struggle with the God of Destruction for an extended period of time without interfering.

If Tekka refuses, Pan will insist they help Peco catch the Thief regardless, causing Trunks to say girls are scary when events like this happen. Peco will tell them that the thief was piggish looking, causing both Kid Goku and Kid Trunks to suspect Oolong's involvement. While Peco searches the Cell Games Arena, she asks Tekka's team to search outside. They can find Oolong using a jetpack to fly around in the skies above the Future Capsule Corporation. Realizing he's been caught, Oolong will blame his theft on his failure to resist the preverbal demon of temptation and attempts to bribe them to let him go, as he is aware that Peco is a female martial artist. Tekka can choose to let him go or bring him back to Peco. If Tekka lets him go and they run to Peco, she will be furious and attacks Tekka's Team with her teammates Kiclee and Sirami.

Oolong confronted by Chronoa, Future Trunks, & the Future Warrior in Conton City in Xenoverse 2

After the cutscene ends, Oolong will appear near the Transfer Shop Robot in Time Nest area of Conton City. If the Future Warrior speaks to him, he reveals he got a transmission from Teen Bulma from The Breakers where she asks where the hell he is and threatens to say the 'P' Word over and over again, as Oolong is still under the effects of PP Candy, if he doesn't come back. Oolong then asks if they could use a Conton City Time Machine to head out and take care of the Temporal Seam for him. The Future Warrior however tells him they don't know what a Temporal Seam is, though Oolong says they will understand when they get there. He tells them to come talk to him when they are ready to head out & he'll give them Bulma's coordinates.

Power[]

Manga and Anime

Oolong is a relatively weak fighter though by using his Shapeshifting, he can take on various forms which he can use to either intimidate, seduce, fight, or escape though unlike Puar, Oolong's transformation time is limited forcing him to shift between forms to fight as shown by his battle with Goku. Despite managing to kidnap several girls using his Shapeshifting to convince the villagers that he was a dangerous monster when in reality the girls he kidnapped lived in luxury within Oolong's mansion and is forced to team up with Bulma and Goku after the truth is discovered.

As a shapeshifter, Oolong is relatively novice compared to Puar due to being expelled from Southern Transformation Kindergarten. He also had difficulty transforming accurately into Bulma as his first attempt was short and masculine version of Bulma, though his second attempt was successful at replicating Bulma's form, although Bulma underestimated Oolong's perverted nature as he easily got carried away while in Bulma's form and years later noted his discomfort with the idea of transforming into a hot girl to help Roshi get over his "weakness".

Films

While not much of a fighter, he was strong enough to kick a drunken Master Roshi in his MAX Power form when he attempted to fight Broly, though this was likely for comical effect and due in part to Roshi being caught off guard while drunk. He also briefly wielded a mallet and comically used to "medicate" (by hitting him in the head) the drunken Roshi in base form previously.

Statements by guidebooks and authors

The movie pamphlet for Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might states that Oolong has a power level of 10.

Abilities[]

OolongMonsterEp04

Oolong transformed into a Ramen Robot

  • Shapeshifting – Although he was expelled from the Shapeshifting Academy for stealing the teacher's panties and lacks the ability to change his form for more than five minutes at a time without a break. After a full five minutes have passed, Oolong's magic requires an additional minute to allow his magic to replenish so that he may transform again[10] (the other shapeshifter in Dragon Ball, Puar, completed the training and does not have this limitation). With his shapeshifting, Oolong can look like anything at all. Oolong's transformations include an ogre, a handsome Frenchman, a bull, a ramen-carrying robot, a bat, a rocket, a paddle, a fish, a motorcycle, a ladder, Bulma herself when she was wearing his Bunny Costume (though he messed up her body proportions on the first attempt however he got it right the second time), and even some panties. However, even if he increases in size, he cannot alter his physical strength: for example, he can become a bike but cannot function like one because most humans are too heavy for him to carry. In Dragon Ball SD, his shapeshifting ability is comically used to transform into characters from Dragon Ball Z such as a Saibaman and Zarbon, despite Oolong having never encountered them. In Dokkan Battle, Oolong fights primarily in his Ramen Robot form and transforms into his Rocket form as his Super Attack.
    • Flight – Oolong usually changes form into a bat to fly without the use of ki. He can also turn into a rocket to increase his speed while flying. In Dragon Ball Fusions, he can use a Jetpack to fly as well.
    • Transformation Rocket - Oolong shapeshifts into a Rocket to attack his opponent. Oolong's Super Attack in Dokkan Battle. Named Change (Missile) in The Breakers where it appears as Oolong's Active Skill.
    • Stripping - While in the form of Bulma wearing the Bunny costume, Oolong was able to expose the breasts of his female form by pulling down the Bunny costume. Used on Master Roshi when Oolong went too far for Bulma's liking.
    • Change (Camouflage) - Changes Oolong into a random object on the map. For a brief amount of time immediately after changing, enemies won't be able to lock on to him. One of Oolong's Active Skills in The Breakers, which is used by Oolong blend in with the environment to hide from Imperfect Cell in the cinematic idle trailer.
  • Rock-Paper-Scissors - As Oolong is an Animal-type Earthling, he has human-like hands despite being a Pig. In Battle of the Gods, he attempts to take advantage of this when Beerus selects him to play Rock-Paper-Scissor to determine the fate of the Earth after angered by Majin Buu's refusal to share his pudding, as he and Yamcha were under the impression that Beerus selected Oolong as pigs normal have hooves which would limit their options. However, Beerus overhears Oolong and Yamcha's planning allowing him to beat Oolong.

Oolong, Puar, and Master Roshi as Demon Clansman

During the Garlic Jr. Saga, Oolong is infected by the Black Water Mist, becoming a vampire-like Demon Clansman. In this state the evil desires, he would normally suppress take control, driving him mad to the point of being willing to kill his own friends for it. He also becomes a devoted follower of Garlic Jr. and the Spice Boys, whom he worships.

  • Capsule - A storage device invented by Dr. Brief and produced by the Capsule Corporation. Like most Earthlings, Oolong utilizes them storing various items and vehicles.
    • Capsule Corporation Spaceship - A type of spaceship developed by Dr. Brief. In The Return of Cooler, Oolong travels to New Namek on one. In Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan, Oolong uses it along with the others escaping New Planet Vegeta.
    • Time Machine - In Xenoverse 2, after the 1.18.01 Update, Oolong uses a Time Machine to fly to Conton City, but it unfortunately explodes before he is able to land it, causing Oolong to crash land into Conton City.
  • Bunny Costume - Oolong was the original owner of the Bunny Girl costume that Bulma was forced to wear when she ran out of a change of clothes which she wore through most of their adventure on Fire Mountain and briefly in the town terrorized by the Rabbit Mob where Bulma was able to obtain the Arabian Outfit she wore for the rest of the Emperor Pilaf Saga. After Master Roshi uses his MAX Power Kamehameha to put out Fire Mountain, Bulma forced Oolong to shapeshift into Bulma wearing the Bunny costume to trick Master Roshi. This unfortunately leads to Oolong going too far for Bulma's liking. Oolong's shapeshifting is shown to replicate the Bunny costume as actually clothing via shapeshifting in addition to her physical body and can even alter said clothing's size as his failed first attempt at transforming into Bulma wore a Bunny costume around Oolong's actually size.
  • Panties - Like Master Roshi, Oolong is known for his perverted nature and as revealed by Puar, Oolong was expelled from Southern Transformation Kindergarten for stealing his teacher's Panties (the censored Funimation dub changed this to him stealing her papers). Ironically, Oolong would prevent Emperor Pilaf from achieving his wish to rule the world, by wishing for pair of Panties (in the censored Funimation dub it was changed to the most comfortable pair of underwear which turned out to be women's underwear thus the joke was retained while removing its perverted nature). Oolong proudly wore them on his head at the end of the Emperor Pilaf Saga. However, in Dragon Ball GT, Oolong's wish is revealed to have given birth to the only female Shadow Dragon Oceanus Shenron who was extremely embarrassed and infuriated by the nature of the wish that created her.
  • Mallet - In Dragon Ball Z: Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan, Oolong has a mallet that he comically uses to hit the hungover (ill as a result of the trip in Paragus' Spaceship in the the Funimation dub to censor Master Roshi's alcohol consumption) Master Roshi when he asks for "medicine".
  • Rocket Launcher - On the cover of The Breakers and in the game's opening cutscene, Oolong can be seen wielding a Rocket Launcher against Perfect Cell.

Trivia[]

  • Oolong is named after a food: in this case, Oolong tea.
  • The handsome man Oolong transformed into bears a resemblance to Senbei's handsome form.
  • In some of his first appearances, Oolong is shown wearing a Mao suit, made famous by Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong. This is possibly due to the fact that his character is based on a Chinese Legend. It could also be a reference to George Orwell's novel Animal Farm as the pigs in that novel (who were based on Joseph Stalin and his followers) were the ones who were in charge of the communist government on the farm. In Dragon Ball Super, Oolong's Mao suit more resembles the one worn by former North Korean leader Kim Jong-il.
  • Oolong is the first to make a wish in the Dragon Ball manga and anime (excluding wishes made but not seen). He was also the first to save the world by making a wish in time to stop Pilaf's evil plot.
  • Oolong is the first to speculate that Goku is not an Earthling, raising the question of whether he is "some kinda space alien" after the destruction he causes as a Great Ape at Emperor Pilaf's palace.[18]
  • Coincidentally, regarding Oolong's inspirations from Journey to the West, he shares the same seiyū (Naoki Tatsuta) as Zhu Bajie from his portrayal in the PS Journey to the West game made by Koei.
    • Also, Oolong's Japanese voice actor voices another animated pig: Porky Pig in the Japanese dub of Looney Tunes. It should also be noted that, in the Funimation dub of his debut episode, when Bulma first sees Oolong in his true form, she refers to him as "Porky".
  • Oolong's hobby is collecting panties.[6]
  • Oolong dislikes men and ugly women when it comes to romantic relationships.[6]
    • Ironically, the true form of the Shadow Dragon Oolong inadvertently created - Oceanus Shenron - technically shares both traits as her true form is ugly and masculine to the point one could easily mistake her as being a male Shadow Dragon, which is why she shapeshifts into her more feminine and attractive Princess Oto form.
  • In Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan, there is a running gag involving Oolong engaging in physical comedy with the drunken/hungover Master Roshi. This includes hitting the Turtle Hermit on the head with a mallet when he asks for "medicine" for his hangover and kicking the Drunken MAX Power Master Roshi away after drunkenly making faces at Broly instead of fighting him. While Oolong's antics may seem harsh given Master Roshi's condition (especially in the Funimation dub where Master Roshi's consumption of alcohol is censored and instead he is just "ill" as a result of their trip on Paragus' Spaceship), however one should remember Master Roshi is a superhuman Martial Artist who has withstood similar comical assaults from Bulma and Launch (though in those cases it is more of an over-the-top punishment for his perverted behavior).
    • Also Oolong was only able to kick Master Roshi in his MAX Power form due to him being drunk/"ill" and apparently caught off guard by said attack.
