When I stated "non-organic" contents could be placed in capsules; I meant to state anything that isn't 'alive'. People are deemed unsafe to travel via capsule. Food is safe to transport in capsules though. Here's more info on Hammerspace: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammerspace
I believe that in one of the games, an experiment on a human being who was living resulted in him...not living. I believe if the person is already dead, then you can't make a person deader.
Presumably, that just means that you can't transport anything alive in them since they'd suffocate. Maybe you could transport something that doesn't breathe like Frieza in one?
In DBZ as well, don't get me wrong i like the characters the action the comedy and the stories better than i like capsules but i think they are a really amazing concept. Tiny capsules that can store be used to store anything from a small meal to na entire house, thats really cool
in Age 1950 , capsule corp does genetic experiments and in 1970 , they make capsules into balls that can hold animals , so in age 1990 , the pokeball factory and pokemons were born
OH MY GOD! ALL OF DRAGON BALL WAS A WORK! Bulma never wanted strawberries or a man, she was going to use the dragon balls to wish for someone strong enough to wipe out the Red Ribbon Army. But then she found Goku and after seeing how strong he was, pointed him towards the Red Ribbon army to put an end to them an their market share. THE ULTIMATE POWER PLAY! Bulma's the coldest, no wonder she was willing to shoot a child in the head.
"[the capsules] can house literally anything that isn't organic" What about that time Bulma was carrying around corpses in her capsules? You know, after King Piccolo caused the deaths of Krillin, Chiaotzu and Tien?
I would have to agree with Cyreus here and say that it's probably living things that don't work in the capsules. For all we know there might not be any breathable air in the capsules, or any air at all.
Hoi-Poi capsules are definitely classic Toriyama, he always looks for a way to do everything with the minimum effort. Informative video, fantastic job!
"Toriyama, he always looks for a way to do everything with the minimum effort" In terms of story-telling, this is 100% true. Capsules were one of the first of the many, many, many deus ex machinas Toriyama used in DB- the Dragon Balls themselves, Setsu beans, Nameckian Dragon Balls (to work around the limits of the original DBs), all the diffrent Super Saiyan levels, fusion, and all the other transformations. I love Toriyama for his art, character design and fight scenes, but the way he just makes the story up as he goes, then pulls some magical object/tech/transformation out of nowhere when he writes himself into a dead end, is just ridiculous; Nothing in the DB universe has any consequences, because if say someone dies, you know Toriyama will just use the Dragon Balls, or some other deus ex, to bring them back.
my favourite use of the capsules was when nam wants the prizemoney to get water for his village, and they instead give him a capsule full of water. such a creative way of using a pre-established concept that doesn't feel like an arsepull. also just a nice gesture
Also a way to give a minor character some pathos and fix a problem that, for all intents and purposes, didn't need to be there. And a real world problem to boot.
Yeah... Considering how... Liberate they are with using them... I doubt they are treated with enough respect and care. Time and time again they gave them to those of Z Fighters who A) Didn't receive any life threatening and urgent injuries B) Fighters who even at full health wouldn't make much difference.
I would probably use the capsules to store 3 defective androids and only release them when I get killed by my other androids. But that would never happen. Ever. Not even in a movie.
Can you imagine how easy Cell would have been to defeat if they managed to put Androids 17 and/or 18 into capsules and just thrown them into the ocean? He wouldn't be able to sense them, nor find them in such vastness... He'd never attain his perfect form...
this is like 2 years after but actually its more than that since all of her capsules were made to be in capsules so you could just press an area of the thing you wanted and pop it back into a capsule. they go for a lot more.
Puts quite a shine on Roshi's gift of a capsule to Nam given how expensive the things are. I've always favoured the pocket-dimension theory myself. Also, they can store organic, clothes and food are frequently contained within. The real restriction is complex lifeforms.
I can't believe I never realised how amazing these would be for a d&d (or related) game, the idea of an organisation that creates containment vessels, supplies products and charges fees for converting other products is such an amazing plot point/ world facet
if only we had something like this in real life It would make moving so easy

Hoi Poi Capsules would be problematic in real life. They would probably be used for smuggling, and (considering some smugglers swallow drugs to carry them), the results would be catastrophic...
I know some farmers who would love to be able to store their tractors and equipment in tiny capsules. Easy to store in the winter months, frees up a ton of space, and if it needs to be repaired, it can just be capsuled up and you can drive your car to a tractor mechanic instead of the slow, lumbering tractor itself.
If I had to guess Rossi proved to Bulma that the tech would be used irresponsibly by perverts (he did try to use it to spy on the girls using the toilet after all)
So in a sense, Capsule corp's main product is "Convenience". Isn't it convenient not to worry about parking space? Imagine how they revolutionised freight transport, especially for fragile products.
Here's a question for you Masako; unrelated to capsules but I'll comment it here: Majin Buu's origins are completely unknown to us, yet it's been stated he was here since the very beginning of the universe and time. He could be millions, or billions of years old Nobody knows for certain. Do you think Kid Buu could have been a creation from the Omni King as an attempt to make a friend? Could the power of Majin Buu be the original being that rivaled the Omni ---King's Power? Or was he created as a means to fight the Gods by unknown-evil beings who wanted to uproot the Gods' Order? On that note, I'm curious about something else too. Good Buu as he stands in Super is currently not as powerful as Kid Buu near end of DBZ due to Kid Buu spitting him out. What form do you think he would revert back into if Good Buu now were too spit out the old Supreme Kai still inside him? Keep up the great work, thanks for making us all think and wonder!
With his love of Machines, Mechanics and Action; I can only imagine if in an Alternate Reality, he would not only be the Father of DBA, but maybe the Gundam Series?
We had this little project in my art class at school, together with the economics class, where we had to invent and design a product and film a little clip about it. We basically made the hoipoi capsules and all got an A. Our teacher loved the idea of it.
Thanks Masako, I would LOVE to see more videos delving into the larger world of *Dragonball* that don't necessarily revolve around the main characters. It's one of the most fascinating, imaginative, unique, and yet in some ways surprisingly believable mythologies in the history of anime. *These are just a few ideas for future discussion topics, feedback is welcome:* *1. Anthropomorphic Animals-* What's their story? Creatures that naturally evolved to form human traits & intelligence? Experiments from a bygone era of scientific history that were eventually legally emancipated to live freely among humans? How was a DOG elected King (talk about progressiveness)? Why are wild dinosaurs still around, and how does humanity coexist with them? Why did Toriyama create these characters and what role do they play in Dragonball's overall world? *2. How The Government In Dragonball Works-* Why is there a King instead of a President? If the current Dog-King dies, would his heir be another dog or a different animal altogether? Should this world in your opinion (based upon the portrayal of society in the manga & anime) be a Monarchy, Constitutional Republic, or a Democracy? *3. How In Your Opinion Would You Have Ended Dragonball Compared to Toriyama, Had It Been Up To You*
he is not the ruler, he is just the king of nations, each place has its own ruler whether it is a republic, a monarchy, a corporate government or a minarchist government, the king of nations, it would be as if United Nations Organization had a king and was a monarchy, obviously in this parallel world the king of nations has more power than the UN and has its own army, unlike the useless UN
Well i actually like this debate creating a pocket in space for storage with energy or creating a way to instantly transform air to gold to steel be interesting
This would be the ultimate in weekend getaways. Build a log cabin (solar power, internet, etc), encapsulate it, go up to the mountains for the weekend, and back to work on Monday.
capsules greatly interest me. imagine how crazy they would be if we actually had them. if i had a capsule, i'd probably keep my car in it. the amount of times i haven't been able to find a parking spot (even costing me my job at one point) would make a capsule SO helpful. forget about having security systems in place, just put it in a capsule. and when you're ready to leave, just psu the button, throw it, and BOOMB!
The capsule logic is sorta like the PokeBall theory it's put in the capsule it will be destroyed and copied but it's data is compacted into a single small capsule that when released will create the car, house bike or even a planes. so capsule from dragon Ball, dragon Ball z, dragon Ball GT and dragon Ball super, are almost the same as poke balls, but the capsule can't keep living things in it like the PokeBall. and becuase the structure of humans and the brain would be gone leaving possibly a destroyed human or a living creatures that roms the earth with no memory's and no emotion, but food is able to be used in the capsule becuase it's not living it's dead and has no memory to keep, and the next thing is how did they seem to create this magic Device, well I don't know, but it's probly very complex, but I'm guessing it would be becuase of jaco, a character from dragon Ball super, a high tech alien from the time space police, well he would have been my first thought that he is the one to help make the capsule, I don't know alot about Jaco only that he's a apart of the time space police and a coward.
the most likely operating principle for the capsule is that they open a portal into another dimension, into which the stored item is shunted,and from which it is pulled back out when the capsule is activated. The capsule itself takes the item's place in the dimensional pocket until the vehicle's "Capsulate" button is activated, which swaps them again.
The thing about converting other vehicles into Capsule vehicles makes sense. It's not reasonable for CapsuleCorp to try to claim the entire market of vehicles, houses, etc. That's like Apple saying "We're going to go for producing every computer, every mp3 player, and every phone on the market." If that was their goal, they wouldn't make a windows compatibility mode for iPods and a Windows version of iTunes. Only it's 100 times worse because phones, computers and mp3 players are all basically the same kind of circuitry. Aircraft engineering and house construction are VASTLY different kinds of technology. Companies have tried to get into industries they don't have a good handle on...it almost inevitably ends in bankruptcy or the rapid sale of the new component of the business thats dragging the rest of the company down with it. Converting competitors goods into Capsules is just good business - it gets them money they otherwise would never have made.
I'd use capsules for two things: A car (because I have no parking spot at home) and keeping my room organized. I have a small room, and many things, these would make keeping stuff organized so much easier... game consoles, computers, stationary, art supplies, clothes. Hell, I could have capsules of alternate furniture, so that I can have a couch in my room instead of a bed during the day.
I like to think that capsules are actually Nano-bot storage devices, when storing, the nanites crawl over the area (in that cloud) and create a perfect blueprint of the device and breaks it down into energy, releasing it into the environment/dust. When you "release" the nanites, they get to work drawing from the environment and the stored nanites energy to recreate the objects based on that perfect blueprint. Energy in DB seems to be a lot more dense and available than in our reality.
The engineering art love is so true for Toriyama. For the beginning pf Bleach, Tite Kubo's characters were spot on and drawn with so much passion. Can totally see who likes drawing characters much more between the 2.
i dont use capsules in my writing, i use pocket dimensions. i enjoy the nonchalant holding out of your hands as interdimensional rifts open mid air dropping a pen and clipboard into them so that you can take notes then just haphazardly tossing them over your shoulders to be caught by the portals again when your done.
honestly they would be really awesome for storage when moving. i probably use them to store cars more because there is no parking where i live. i would also like to keep my dry goods in them as well.
Cmckerracher they can store anything depending on size Small can hold basically an entire fridge shelf of food! And capsules preserve things exactly as they are
Maybe you can store organic matter as long as it is stored in an inorganic container. That would explain how Bulma stored the dead bodies of Krillin and Roshi.
+Cmckerracher - It would certainly make travel and goods transport a lot easier... Got 1000 tonnes of ore that needs transporting? Stick it in a capsule and drive it over to the processing plant in no time flat. Got too much luggage to take on a flight, zip it all up into a single capsule and store it in your carry-on bag. It would ruin a few industries, for sure, but it would make life easier for everyone else...
ok I had no idea about the "you can convert a non-capsule corp products into CapsuleCorp capsules" part, that is even more awesome as for what I would put... most likely my wardrobe, a box with all the stuff I like to keep but rarely use & perhaps an RV (or since is the DBZ universe perhaps an airship with enough room to have a gaming room)
I feel as though it's a little weird when it comes to vehicles in the Dragonball Universe having a hodge-podge of real life cars and fictional, generic vehicles alongside. Bulma's Renault 5 Turbo that Goku totals, the Ferrari Dino hovercar you mentioned, and the picture of Goku driving the McLaren MP4/4. It all kinda seems odd having real and fictional cars next to each other in a medium.
The answer is - Cloud computing. Capsules are just on/off switches for teleport beams that are somewhere else. Think about it, it would be waaaay cheaper to build space stations with storage spaces and teleports rather than try to put it in small capsule. Also, conservation of mass exist.
I would use the capsules for housing research facility if i could ever afford one to bring to a site that needed them. The other option would be to store artifacts for bringing to a research facility to keep it safe from harm or contamination as i don't think the capsule form change keeps the dirt or debris around it from affecting whats inside. The one limit i think is the capsule making machines themselves i think which could make them location targets for bandits or military locations like the red ribbon army.
I take it you where using the USD. Anyway the thing I love most about the capsules is they aren't a one time use. You just hit a switch and back in it goes. So often stuff like tent in a pill is one way. Add water and poof a tent but now its stuck as a tent. As for what I'd stick in a capsule well a high powered computer and a good screen,maybe even a desk and chair too. I travel a bit so I have laptops. I'd like more power but on the go is much more important to me. If I could have both it be sweet. Pop over to work, drop the capsule and boom have my pc for break time. Going over to a friends, well now we got extra computers.
I'm fairly certain the main problem with the capsule being used on living things is air supply. If they actually store something in a static state, then air would be something to keep to a minimum.
I'd probably be happy with just two; one for my bike and another to simply use as a backpack. Perhaps I'd like a third to use as a travel case when I need it... having to find the space to place a relatively large chest every time I need my school books seems rather inconvenient, so I'd really need one for small storage and one for large storage...
If you think about it Capsule Corp likely made most of their money in bulk goods shipping. The Hoi Poi capsule reduces functional MASS of objects, along with volume. This is a massive cheat and radically changes bulk commerce. For example, when massive 1.8 million pound power plant transformers blow you can't really build a new one on site. Which means transportation. Look up the one that got moved from New Mexico to California back in 2015. Expensive, slow, and required a specialized hauler, plus a police escort. Sticking one in an L Capsule for a few thousand dollars and flying it from NM to CA in hours.... massive cost reduction. Then we get the implications for space travel and orbital construction. Boosting anything out of Earth's gravity is expensive because of the poor efficiency lift fuels/systems we have to use. So you either find more lift for your energy, or lift more for the same energy. Hoi Poi capsules again reduce mass and volume. For the weight limits they are extremely effective, and can move masses pre-constructed objects to orbit. To a point that it would be financially feasible for Capsule Corp alone to fund an Orbital Ring supporting either Sky Hooks or full Space Elevators. Stick a Encapsulating Machine in a space craft and you have a way to go mine asteroids and bring back what would be otherwise rare metals very inexpensively.
Going to think of it, I started to to wonder why no one discussed about Capsule tools before. They are pretty unique somehow in terms of life support and invention purposes.
I'd be interested to see a filler episode where someone (maybe Goten, Trunks, and Pan?) gets stuck inside a capsule, and they encounter all the things people have ever left inside. That'd be fun!
4:25 In order to take something big and make it small, it first needs to be converted in an atomic level. Meaning everything those capsules have been fit into would have to be converted into Atoms. Then said atoms get compressed and stored in a container. Said container must come with a pre-programmed circuit, that allows the conversion to be two way, by storing the information on how these atoms to items and vice versa can be converted in a certain way. It's basically the transporter from Star Trek all over again.
What I'd personally use it on, hmm.. well I'd store the car and bicycle in them to not risk them getting stolen at night for sure. I'd probably also store things I rarely use in some form of storage container that's again in the capsule system (since we can see that anything inside of a house for instance is kept when the house is converted back to a capsule).l Aside from that, I'm honestly not sure, but if I were to ever go camping or similar, I'd probably have a small hut of some sort in capsule form.
and a nice thing is that they can be use as many times you want with most products like houses, vehicles as long as the object isn't destroyed. but yeah this is probably one of the greatest inventions in media history. well next to food replicator from cloudy with a chance of meatballs.
If the capsules were real, my car for sure. The first couple weeks of college and some places are a pain to find parking. Save me some time looking for parking. Anytime I go some where and parking looks bad, I think every time I wish Capsule Corp was real or I wish I had a wing pack from Tales of Symphonia. In ToS, they have a boat for some sections in the game but later they get Rheairds, personal flying machines and they store them in this wing pack. Point is I want to shrink my car and store in something so I never have to worry about parking again!
I would want to make a geek-themed Man-Cave into a capsule! With Toku/Anime/Gamer/Mech covering the walls alongside tabletop RPG motifs. So I can have my happy place wherever I happen to be at the time! Complete with TV, game consoles, collection of Transformers/Super Sentai/Kamen Rider as well as a proper gaming table for some tabletop roleplying with friends who come over! And when it was time for everyone to head home, just step outside, hit the button and BOOMPH! Pocket-sized heaven~!
I would have at least 4 Capsules above all else; #1. An armory, a place to store and maintain all my weapons & armor. #2. A large garage, to keep all my extra vehicles that are smaller than #3. #3. A battle-ready, mobile base/space ship equipped with living quarters (food storage included, also using Capsule tech) and a vehicle bay that can hold one smaller craft (particularly my Ares 90); Think of The Ghost from Star Wars Rebels, but cooler. #4. FOOD, glorious food.
How to get it to work on living things (like pokemon): 1. Flash freeze the pokemon 2. Encapsulate it 3. Mod the capsule to rapidly heat when the button is pressed. I mean, it's technically "dead" when you freeze it.
If it was atomic compression the volume of the object would decrease in a size that fits the capsule but it’s mass would remain the same, making it as heat as it originally was and not very easy to carry in your pocket
The capsule tech being so expense actually answers something that's bugged me for awhile, that even though we see our main cast driving around in hovercars and crafts, there are still wheeled vehicles in the series.
Also Bulma herself is the daughter of Capsule Corp founder Dr. Briefs and one of its leading scientist so it makes sense she has a ton of Capsule Corp products on her.
Exactly. Convenient for preserving food that spoils in contact with the air. More airtight than anything I can think of. I wonder if brewing/making of adult beverages would work too...?
how do you put things in the capsule when you get them new is what im wondering. Cause there is a button you press to open and to return the item back into the capsule
i read on the wiki, so could be wrong, but you also can't or least shouldn't put another capsule inside as apparently the results are dangerous. i always imagined this to be the two capsules shorting each other out creating a momentary implosion followed by an even bigger explosion with bits of what ever might have been inside flying out
I just think how they'd completely change the economy. We use huge numbers of ships, truck, trains, and planes to transport goods. Companies store products in huge warehouses. Those would all be reduced severely along with all the people working in those areas.
When I stated "non-organic" contents could be placed in capsules; I meant to state anything that isn't 'alive'. People are deemed unsafe to travel via capsule. Food is safe to transport in capsules though.
Here's more info on Hammerspace: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammerspace
They put Krillin, Roshi and Chaotzu in them as well when they were dead.
You got me thinking about carbon and nitrogen components.
I believe that in one of the games, an experiment on a human being who was living resulted in him...not living. I believe if the person is already dead, then you can't make a person deader.
Thanks for taking away my title of top comment AGAIN! :(
Presumably, that just means that you can't transport anything alive in them since they'd suffocate. Maybe you could transport something that doesn't breathe like Frieza in one?
Those capsules would be EXTREAMLY USEFUL in real life..
moving be easy as shit
Kelvin Martinez So would spelling.
Ohh my god! You would never need parking! You could just pull up to a store and capsulize your vehicle.
@@greenmondaymorning the risk of your car getting assembled the wrong way out of capsule due some glitch in the system is scary
Airlines, Moving Companies etc would despite the person who invents something even close to that.
In my opinion the capsules have Always been one of the coolest concepts in all of Dragonball
Amazing Tribol uhhh dragon ballz e.e?
In DBZ as well, don't get me wrong i like the characters the action the comedy and the stories better than i like capsules but i think they are a really amazing concept. Tiny capsules that can store be used to store anything from a small meal to na entire house, thats really cool
And also the most underrated!
1)Take Hoi Poi Capsule
2)make it work on life forms
3)???
4)profit from Pokemania.
in Age 1950 , capsule corp does genetic experiments and in 1970 , they make capsules into balls that can hold animals , so in age 1990 , the pokeball factory and pokemons were born

She wanted a man
Dr. Gero was right
Capsules, you can have a fridge in one... Just don't steal the last HETAP.

Dude, I'd kill for a HETAP!

no one special That's not untrue.
Sponsor of the Cell Games.
Film theory should do a video on how these would work in real life.
Screaming Saiyan tru
Screaming Saiyan yeah!!!
Something tells me MatPat wouldn't do it.
Well if you want the Marvel explanation it is the Pym Particles which collapses the space between things.
that doesnt explain how the items contained within lose their weight.
im thinking either pocket dimensions or matter to energy conversion.
"[the capsules] can house literally anything that isn't organic" What about that time Bulma was carrying around corpses in her capsules? You know, after King Piccolo caused the deaths of Krillin, Chiaotzu and Tien?
ChibiTails Maybe just anything that isn't alive.
Didn't she also bring food over in the Goku Black/Trunks arc for the remaining surviving humans in that timeline?
Well, maybe it just isn't good for your guarantee?
"You can store Organic material, but if you do, we aren't to blame if it takes damage."
I would have to agree with Cyreus here and say that it's probably living things that don't work in the capsules. For all we know there might not be any breathable air in the capsules, or any air at all.
I guess he means it can't be alive. Because they carry food in it too. (Then again, don't the houses usually have living plants?)
Hoi-Poi capsules are definitely classic Toriyama, he always looks for a way to do everything with the minimum effort.

"Toriyama, he always looks for a way to do everything with the minimum effort" In terms of story-telling, this is 100% true.

also just a nice gesture
Also a way to give a minor character some pathos and fix a problem that, for all intents and purposes, didn't need to be there. And a real world problem to boot.
Could you put a whole load of Senzu Beans into a capsule and just carry that around instead of a small bag?
rlyfree Yh
the issue isnt carrying them its making them.
They should make a wish on the Dragon Balls for unlimited Senzu.
rlyfree No, scarcity is a great combat motivator.
Yeah... Considering how... Liberate they are with using them... I doubt they are treated with enough respect and care. Time and time again they gave them to those of Z Fighters who A) Didn't receive any life threatening and urgent injuries B) Fighters who even at full health wouldn't make much difference.
I would probably use the capsules to store 3 defective androids and only release them when I get killed by my other androids.

Well he couldn't sense them in the first place.
Yes, I know, that's what I meant. I didn't mean that the capsules would block him from sensing them or such
There's some kid in a jean jacket upstairs. He looks like he's about to freak out or something.
TheKrypticCode gay
so that's why yamcha wanted to steal capsules from goku and the group...each one alone worth like $2000
this is like 2 years after but actually its more than that since all of her capsules were made to be in capsules so you could just press an area of the thing you wanted and pop it back into a capsule. they go for a lot more.
I would capsulize two large stacks of throwing stars, and when I want to kill something I would throw the capsules and yell "Shuriken no Jutsu!"
You're a man of culture.
Puts quite a shine on Roshi's gift of a capsule to Nam given how expensive the things are.
I've always favoured the pocket-dimension theory myself. Also, they can store organic, clothes and food are frequently contained within. The real restriction is complex lifeforms.
"Capsule Corp owns nearly half of the worldwide vehicle market"
So it's the Disney of the vehicle industry. :)
I can't believe I never realised how amazing these would be for a d&d (or related) game, the idea of an organisation that creates containment vessels, supplies products and charges fees for converting other products is such an amazing plot point/ world facet
if only we had something like this in real life It would make moving so easy
Hoi Poi Capsules would be problematic in real life. They would probably be used for smuggling, and (considering some smugglers swallow drugs to carry them), the results would be catastrophic...
You could argue that about most effective storage and transportation devices though
Henry Pym wants his tech back.
+ManintheArmor Hank Pym:GIVE ME BACK MY IDEA OR I'LL SLAP MY WIFE!
Thank you
I'm pretty sure they can hold organics as well. Didn't Vegeta bring food in capsules to the starving people in Trunks' timeline?
Or the hetaps
What you forget to mention is that the HoiPoi Capsules are reusable, and how they incorporate it to whatever they're storing.
I know some farmers who would love to be able to store their tractors and equipment in tiny capsules. Easy to store in the winter months, frees up a ton of space, and if it needs to be repaired, it can just be capsuled up and you can drive your car to a tractor mechanic instead of the slow, lumbering tractor itself.
Bulma adapted the capsule tech to make a watch to shrink herself right, where is this technology in Dragon Ball today...(cue dramatic music)
If I had to guess Rossi proved to Bulma that the tech would be used irresponsibly by perverts (he did try to use it to spy on the girls using the toilet after all)
I am loving this uptick in videos!
So in a sense, Capsule corp's main product is "Convenience". Isn't it convenient not to worry about parking space? Imagine how they revolutionised freight transport, especially for fragile products.
If these things existed the world world would be revolutionized and because of saved money on logistics prices would be much more consumer friendly.
Here's a question for you Masako; unrelated to capsules but I'll comment it here: Majin Buu's origins are completely unknown to us, yet it's been stated he was here since the very beginning of the universe and time. He could be millions, or billions of years old Nobody knows for certain.
Do you think Kid Buu could have been a creation from the Omni King as an attempt to make a friend? Could the power of Majin Buu be the original being that rivaled the Omni ---King's Power? Or was he created as a means to fight the Gods by unknown-evil beings who wanted to uproot the Gods' Order?
On that note, I'm curious about something else too. Good Buu as he stands in Super is currently not as powerful as Kid Buu near end of DBZ due to Kid Buu spitting him out. What form do you think he would revert back into if Good Buu now were too spit out the old Supreme Kai still inside him?
Keep up the great work, thanks for making us all think and wonder!
The "Super human water" seems kind of similar. Has one resulted from the other?
Thank you Masako for taking my suggestion and making it a video. I really appreciate it. I can't believe it was worthy of a video.
You CAN store organic matter in there, for example the food Vegeta gave to the survivors in the future, or Krillin's dead body.
Could you put a Dragonall or the set of dragonballs.... in a Capsule.... hmmmmmm
Would have been a great way to hide the DragonBalls from Frieza on Namek.
@MasakoX but what happens if you store a Dragonball?
With his love of Machines, Mechanics and Action; I can only imagine if in an Alternate Reality, he would not only be the Father of DBA, but maybe the Gundam Series?
We had this little project in my art class at school, together with the economics class, where we had to invent and design a product and film a little clip about it.
We basically made the hoipoi capsules and all got an A. Our teacher loved the idea of it.
Thanks Masako, I would LOVE to see more videos delving into the larger world of *Dragonball* that don't necessarily revolve around the main characters. It's one of the most fascinating, imaginative, unique, and yet in some ways surprisingly believable mythologies in the history of anime. *These are just a few ideas for future discussion topics, feedback is welcome:*
*1. Anthropomorphic Animals-* What's their story? Creatures that naturally evolved to form human traits & intelligence? Experiments from a bygone era of scientific history that were eventually legally emancipated to live freely among humans?
How was a DOG elected King (talk about progressiveness)? Why are wild dinosaurs still around, and how does humanity coexist with them? Why did Toriyama create these characters and what role do they play in Dragonball's overall world?
*2. How The Government In Dragonball Works-* Why is there a King instead of a President? If the current Dog-King dies, would his heir be another dog or a different animal altogether? Should this world in your opinion (based upon the portrayal of society in the manga & anime) be a Monarchy, Constitutional Republic, or a Democracy?
*3. How In Your Opinion Would You Have Ended Dragonball Compared to Toriyama, Had It Been Up To You*
he is not the ruler, he is just the king of nations, each place has its own ruler whether it is a republic, a monarchy, a corporate government or a minarchist government, the king of nations, it would be as if United Nations Organization had a king and was a monarchy, obviously in this parallel world the king of nations has more power than the UN and has its own army, unlike the useless UN
@@alanstargalaxy6516 Interesting, where did you learn this? I'd like to learn more if I can.
I have investigated a bit and it seems that the dragon ball system is the federal system
@@alanstargalaxy6516 Awesome, do you have a source for that I could look at?
Wikia of dragon ball
Well i actually like this debate creating a pocket in space for storage with energy or creating a way to instantly transform air to gold to steel be interesting
This would be the ultimate in weekend getaways.
Build a log cabin (solar power, internet, etc), encapsulate it, go up to the mountains for the weekend, and back to work on Monday.
capsules greatly interest me. imagine how crazy they would be if we actually had them.
if i had a capsule, i'd probably keep my car in it. the amount of times i haven't been able to find a parking spot (even costing me my job at one point) would make a capsule SO helpful. forget about having security systems in place, just put it in a capsule. and when you're ready to leave, just psu the button, throw it, and BOOMB!
Goggles Tigerkhan The goverment would probably crack down on capsules because we could hide stuff from them and terrorism.
The capsule logic is sorta like the PokeBall theory it's put in the capsule it will be destroyed and copied but it's data is compacted into a single small capsule that when released will create the car, house bike or even a planes. so capsule from dragon Ball, dragon Ball z, dragon Ball GT and dragon Ball super, are almost the same as poke balls, but the capsule can't keep living things in it like the PokeBall. and becuase the structure of humans and the brain would be gone leaving possibly a destroyed human or a living creatures that roms the earth with no memory's and no emotion, but food is able to be used in the capsule becuase it's not living it's dead and has no memory to keep, and the next thing is how did they seem to create this magic Device, well I don't know, but it's probly very complex, but I'm guessing it would be becuase of jaco, a character from dragon Ball super, a high tech alien from the time space police, well he would have been my first thought that he is the one to help make the capsule, I don't know alot about Jaco only that he's a apart of the time space police and a coward.
the most likely operating principle for the capsule is that they open a portal into another dimension, into which the stored item is shunted,and from which it is pulled back out when the capsule is activated. The capsule itself takes the item's place in the dimensional pocket until the vehicle's "Capsulate" button is activated, which swaps them again.
The thing about converting other vehicles into Capsule vehicles makes sense. It's not reasonable for CapsuleCorp to try to claim the entire market of vehicles, houses, etc. That's like Apple saying "We're going to go for producing every computer, every mp3 player, and every phone on the market." If that was their goal, they wouldn't make a windows compatibility mode for iPods and a Windows version of iTunes. Only it's 100 times worse because phones, computers and mp3 players are all basically the same kind of circuitry. Aircraft engineering and house construction are VASTLY different kinds of technology. Companies have tried to get into industries they don't have a good handle on...it almost inevitably ends in bankruptcy or the rapid sale of the new component of the business thats dragging the rest of the company down with it.
Converting competitors goods into Capsules is just good business - it gets them money they otherwise would never have made.
I'd use capsules for two things: A car (because I have no parking spot at home) and keeping my room organized. I have a small room, and many things, these would make keeping stuff organized so much easier... game consoles, computers, stationary, art supplies, clothes. Hell, I could have capsules of alternate furniture, so that I can have a couch in my room instead of a bed during the day.
What if Capsules didn't exist in the Dragonball series?
just by his videos i can tell masako is a caring/loving/nice person and a good friend to everyone he knows. sure wish i was his friend
I'd use a capsule to carry a portable bunker/panic room.
I like to think that capsules are actually Nano-bot storage devices, when storing, the nanites crawl over the area (in that cloud) and create a perfect blueprint of the device and breaks it down into energy, releasing it into the environment/dust. When you "release" the nanites, they get to work drawing from the environment and the stored nanites energy to recreate the objects based on that perfect blueprint. Energy in DB seems to be a lot more dense and available than in our reality.
The engineering art love is so true for Toriyama. For the beginning pf Bleach, Tite Kubo's characters were spot on and drawn with so much passion. Can totally see who likes drawing characters much more between the 2.
i dont use capsules in my writing, i use pocket dimensions. i enjoy the nonchalant holding out of your hands as interdimensional rifts open mid air dropping a pen and clipboard into them so that you can take notes then just haphazardly tossing them over your shoulders to be caught by the portals again when your done.
honestly they would be really awesome for storage when moving. i probably use them to store cars more because there is no parking where i live. i would also like to keep my dry goods in them as well.
I would try to revive the lAN party scene. Imagine being able to easily move your powerful PC gaming setup and bring it anywhere.
Can Capsules store something like a cooler filled with food or is that considered organic
Cmckerracher they can store anything depending on size Small can hold basically an entire fridge shelf of food! And capsules preserve things exactly as they are
Can you imagine the ramifications if Capsules were brought into the real world.
Maybe you can store organic matter as long as it is stored in an inorganic container. That would explain how Bulma stored the dead bodies of Krillin and Roshi.
think of it like a D&D bag of holding. there's no air in there so living things suffocate.
+Cmckerracher - It would certainly make travel and goods transport a lot easier...
Got 1000 tonnes of ore that needs transporting? Stick it in a capsule and drive it over to the processing plant in no time flat.
Got too much luggage to take on a flight, zip it all up into a single capsule and store it in your carry-on bag.
It would ruin a few industries, for sure, but it would make life easier for everyone else...
ok I had no idea about the "you can convert a non-capsule corp products into CapsuleCorp capsules" part, that is even more awesome
as for what I would put... most likely my wardrobe, a box with all the stuff I like to keep but rarely use & perhaps an RV (or since is the DBZ universe perhaps an airship with enough room to have a gaming room)
I love this fun topic, nice video Masako!
I feel as though it's a little weird when it comes to vehicles in the Dragonball Universe having a hodge-podge of real life cars and fictional, generic vehicles alongside. Bulma's Renault 5 Turbo that Goku totals, the Ferrari Dino hovercar you mentioned, and the picture of Goku driving the McLaren MP4/4. It all kinda seems odd having real and fictional cars next to each other in a medium.
The answer is - Cloud computing. Capsules are just on/off switches for teleport beams that are somewhere else. Think about it, it would be waaaay cheaper to build space stations with storage spaces and teleports rather than try to put it in small capsule. Also, conservation of mass exist.
Capsules also explain how Bulma was able to go into the wilderness without fear as she had weapons in Capsules.
I think the word that he was looking for was Organism not Organic.
DBZ LOOK cells are organisms, meat and vegetables are made of cells. Food's been transported in capsules. He wasn't looking for that word either.
DBZ LOOK he meant living beings
I would use the capsules for housing research facility if i could ever afford one to bring to a site that needed them. The other option would be to store artifacts for bringing to a research facility to keep it safe from harm or contamination as i don't think the capsule form change keeps the dirt or debris around it from affecting whats inside. The one limit i think is the capsule making machines themselves i think which could make them location targets for bandits or military locations like the red ribbon army.
I'd like to see Bulma start her own moving company using capsules.
I take it you where using the USD. Anyway the thing I love most about the capsules is they aren't a one time use. You just hit a switch and back in it goes. So often stuff like tent in a pill is one way. Add water and poof a tent but now its stuck as a tent. As for what I'd stick in a capsule well a high powered computer and a good screen,maybe even a desk and chair too. I travel a bit so I have laptops. I'd like more power but on the go is much more important to me. If I could have both it be sweet. Pop over to work, drop the capsule and boom have my pc for break time. Going over to a friends, well now we got extra computers.
Bulma stored Krillin in a capsule? When he was in that coffin.
I think they mainly mean living organisms. At that time, Krillin was dead.
Actually he ment non living and at that time he was dead
That's dark
I'm fairly certain the main problem with the capsule being used on living things is air supply. If they actually store something in a static state, then air would be something to keep to a minimum.
I'd probably be happy with just two; one for my bike and another to simply use as a backpack. Perhaps I'd like a third to use as a travel case when I need it... having to find the space to place a relatively large chest every time I need my school books seems rather inconvenient, so I'd really need one for small storage and one for large storage...
If you think about it Capsule Corp likely made most of their money in bulk goods shipping. The Hoi Poi capsule reduces functional MASS of objects, along with volume. This is a massive cheat and radically changes bulk commerce. For example, when massive 1.8 million pound power plant transformers blow you can't really build a new one on site. Which means transportation. Look up the one that got moved from New Mexico to California back in 2015. Expensive, slow, and required a specialized hauler, plus a police escort. Sticking one in an L Capsule for a few thousand dollars and flying it from NM to CA in hours.... massive cost reduction.
Then we get the implications for space travel and orbital construction. Boosting anything out of Earth's gravity is expensive because of the poor efficiency lift fuels/systems we have to use. So you either find more lift for your energy, or lift more for the same energy. Hoi Poi capsules again reduce mass and volume. For the weight limits they are extremely effective, and can move masses pre-constructed objects to orbit. To a point that it would be financially feasible for Capsule Corp alone to fund an Orbital Ring supporting either Sky Hooks or full Space Elevators. Stick a Encapsulating Machine in a space craft and you have a way to go mine asteroids and bring back what would be otherwise rare metals very inexpensively.
I would use capsule for my library, and all the prepping gadgets I could get my hands on. :) Ultimately, I'd probably have my entire life in capsules.
Props for the NYC subway system shirt Masako :)
Going to think of it, I started to to wonder why no one discussed about Capsule tools before. They are pretty unique somehow in terms of life support and invention purposes.
I'd be interested to see a filler episode where someone (maybe Goten, Trunks, and Pan?) gets stuck inside a capsule, and they encounter all the things people have ever left inside. That'd be fun!
4:25 In order to take something big and make it small, it first needs to be converted in an atomic level. Meaning everything those capsules have been fit into would have to be converted into Atoms. Then said atoms get compressed and stored in a container. Said container must come with a pre-programmed circuit, that allows the conversion to be two way, by storing the information on how these atoms to items and vice versa can be converted in a certain way. It's basically the transporter from Star Trek all over again.
6:55 That Arale cameo tho
I would smuggle snacks into the cinema. Then I would cry as I realized how much it was to cram those snacks into the capsule.
It was a simple but brilliant idea on his part.
What I'd personally use it on, hmm.. well I'd store the car and bicycle in them to not risk them getting stolen at night for sure.
I'd probably also store things I rarely use in some form of storage container that's again in the capsule system (since we can see that anything inside of a house for instance is kept when the house is converted back to a capsule).l Aside from that, I'm honestly not sure, but if I were to ever go camping or similar, I'd probably have a small hut of some sort in capsule form.
RV Capsule. One capsule holding both housing and transportation. Boom!
I really like the Capsule Corporation's logo.
and a nice thing is that they can be use as many times you want with most products like houses, vehicles as long as the object isn't destroyed. but yeah this is probably one of the greatest inventions in media history. well next to food replicator from cloudy with a chance of meatballs.
If the capsules were real, my car for sure. The first couple weeks of college and some places are a pain to find parking. Save me some time looking for parking. Anytime I go some where and parking looks bad, I think every time I wish Capsule Corp was real or I wish I had a wing pack from Tales of Symphonia. In ToS, they have a boat for some sections in the game but later they get Rheairds, personal flying machines and they store them in this wing pack. Point is I want to shrink my car and store in something so I never have to worry about parking again!
I would want to make a geek-themed Man-Cave into a capsule! With Toku/Anime/Gamer/Mech covering the walls alongside tabletop RPG motifs. So I can have my happy place wherever I happen to be at the time! Complete with TV, game consoles, collection of Transformers/Super Sentai/Kamen Rider as well as a proper gaming table for some tabletop roleplying with friends who come over! And when it was time for everyone to head home, just step outside, hit the button and BOOMPH!
Pocket-sized heaven~!
I would have at least 4 Capsules above all else;
#1. An armory, a place to store and maintain all my weapons & armor.
#2. A large garage, to keep all my extra vehicles that are smaller than #3.
#3. A battle-ready, mobile base/space ship equipped with living quarters (food storage included, also using Capsule tech) and a vehicle bay that can hold one smaller craft (particularly my Ares 90); Think of The Ghost from Star Wars Rebels, but cooler.
#4. FOOD, glorious food.
Can we talk for a second about just how perfect that Capsule Corp logo is?
I would use it to store my cosplay and my car.
And definitely furniture for it'll make moving a lot easier
and on your final question.
they basically marketed Darrn's instant fortress. you can make the connections from there.
How to get it to work on living things (like pokemon):
1. Flash freeze the pokemon
2. Encapsulate it
3. Mod the capsule to rapidly heat when the button is pressed.
I mean, it's technically "dead" when you freeze it.
I loved these things a a kid. I remember making Lego replicas of them
Love watching these videos always making me think about the dragon ball world and how cool it is :D
Not gonna lie, having capsules would make getting rigs to a LAN event much easier. You could even pack the desk in there :D
If it was atomic compression the volume of the object would decrease in a size that fits the capsule but it’s mass would remain the same, making it as heat as it originally was and not very easy to carry in your pocket
The capsule tech being so expense actually answers something that's bugged me for awhile, that even though we see our main cast driving around in hovercars and crafts, there are still wheeled vehicles in the series.
Also Bulma herself is the daughter of Capsule Corp founder Dr. Briefs and one of its leading scientist so it makes sense she has a ton of Capsule Corp products on her.
non organic only eh ? remember super when bulma stored food in the capsules
Well... Its more of you cant put anything that needs air...
Exactly. Convenient for preserving food that spoils in contact with the air. More airtight than anything I can think of. I wonder if brewing/making of adult beverages would work too...?
RexTnova lel he left a comment to explain that he meant 'living'
how do you put things in the capsule when you get them new is what im wondering. Cause there is a button you press to open and to return the item back into the capsule
Real answers I'd want to store gaming bits Role play books and Warhammer armies. So handy. : 3
Something ive always wondered: what if there wasn't enough room? (briefly touched on in DBZA)
Tesseract!
You neglected to mention Master Roshi's Water Capsule he gave to Namu after the 21st Budokai. Proving that the contents can even include liquids.
i read on the wiki, so could be wrong, but you also can't or least shouldn't put another capsule inside as apparently the results are dangerous. i always imagined this to be the two capsules shorting each other out creating a momentary implosion followed by an even bigger explosion with bits of what ever might have been inside flying out
This should be something the game/film theory should try answer to how it works
on dbz amino there is a group where your the supreme god, it's called go crew and it's run by Negabardock
atomic compression would make them really bloody heavy as the density increases because there is the same mass in less space
maybe Gamefreak could ask Toriyama if they could use capsules as a way to explain how characters could carry so much stuff in their pokemon games
I just think how they'd completely change the economy. We use huge numbers of ships, truck, trains, and planes to transport goods. Companies store products in huge warehouses. Those would all be reduced severely along with all the people working in those areas.
I would use it for all my textbooks and school books. I have close to 20 books in total.
