My mother is a long-term fan of Dr. Slump and she wants a figure of Arale. I found one that she'll really like but I found it in a flea market. The price was high and they didn't even have the original box. In the same stall i found some Aliexpress type of thing so I wasn't sure if this was original.
I took a photo. Can anyone here recognize this figurine? I'll search for the original version...
Many thanks! .
Every one knows Dragonball, but what about Dr. Slump? Is it still talked about today? Is Arale a pop culture icon in Japan?
I was directed to this site by a person at VIZ media customer support, and it has quite a few volumes of Dr. Slump for like 12.99, hope this can help some of yall with completing your sets!!
heyy is this movie canon, can i watch it and avoid spoilers?
heyy does anyone know the episode when senbei puts a camera in arales eyes and watches it on tv? if yall know which episode it was would love to know :) thanks
RIP Akira Toriyama
Any idea where I can read the rest of the Dr. Slump remake manga? Or is it just lost media? https://mangadex.org/title/37daf375-2987-4e39-a7dc-7f7926a19954/dr-slump
Hey y'all I just wanted to let you know that Volume 5 is on their site for pretty cheap. Vol 4 and 10 was on there but it seems they are out of stock now

With the passing of Akira Toriyama, many DBZ fans assume that the franchise is going to continue and that Toyotaro is his undisputed successor in continuing his DBZ work, does the same thing apply to Dr Slump? As far as I know, Toyotaro's work is solely focused on Dragon Ball, so if not him, how do you think is this work going to revived or worked by someone else and who is it going to be? Do you think we'll see some Dr Slump in the near future?
Toriyama's passing made me appreciate his other works lately and I suddenly looked at Arale with a great deal of fondness. I remember seeing her appearances in OG Dragon Ball when I was a kid and I've rewatched those episodes lately again. I really really like her character. I even consider her stronger than Beerus, unlike what a lot of people think.
In what ways do you feel Dr. Slump impacted Japanese pop culture? I’d love to hear others’ thoughts!

This Weekend I decided to make a list of the anime episodes of Dr. Slump and Arale-chan that are canon to the manga, since there official wiki site gave up on listing them, but the strange thing is, I was able to get most of them from the Dr. Slump wiki site on there manga chapters, just not all.
Anyway, here's the list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10xArgF2e-Z3LMjck4rvXTGn7RqTTr975OmOincNYsC8/edit#gid=0
So I've finally got around to reading Dr. Slump since Toriyama's passing and I'm currently on chapter 200. But on the shonen jump plus app it shows the chapter number as 199. Doesn't that mean Shonen Jump is missing a chapter and if so which one is it?
Edit: I found out the missing chapter. It's chapter 51 "Kick the Can" that is missing from the Shonen Jump Plus app in NA
