Arale Norimaki

Arale was built by the eccentric inventor Senbei Norimaki, who intended to create the perfect little girl. The result was an android with no sense of her own absurd power, a love of poking things with sticks, and the ability to split the Earth in half with a headbutt. She first crossed paths with the Dragon Ball cast when young Goku visited Penguin Village during the Red Ribbon Army saga. Her casual strength shocked Goku, who found himself matched by a robot girl who treated the whole encounter as a fun game. The crossover established early in Dragon Ball's history that Arale existed in the same universe, governed by the slapstick physics of Dr. Slump rather than the power-scaling logic of Dragon Ball.

Return in Dragon Ball Super

Arale made a memorable return in Dragon Ball Super when she and the Penguin Village cast appeared during an adventure involving Dr. Slump's nemesis, Dr. Mashirito. In this episode, Arale casually matched and even overwhelmed Vegeta and Super Saiyan Blue Goku, who were baffled by her impossible strength. Beerus attempted to deal with her but found that his divine power had no meaningful effect on a character who fundamentally operates outside the rules of their shared universe. The episode leaned fully into the absurdity of the crossover, acknowledging that Arale's gag manga origins make her effectively unbeatable within a comedy context. Her strength is not a matter of power levels or transformations; it simply exists because the joke requires it to. This makes her both a beloved guest character and a humorous reminder that Toriyama's works share a universe where comedy can override the laws of physics.
