Episode 21— Smells Like Trouble
Aired July 16, 1986 · 25 min
Synopsis
In the first round of the Tenkaichi Budokai main event, Kuririn faces off against Bacterian, a powerful opponent who wields filth as his weapon. Bacterian incapacitates his foes with an overwhelming foul smell, using attacks such as bad breath and noxious farts to assault Kuririn. Overwhelmed, Kuririn is eventually knocked down. Just as he succumbs to the stench, Goku snaps him out of the nightmare by telling him, “You don’t have a nose!” Rejuvenated, Kuririn launches a fierce counterattack and defeats Bacterian in the first round.

Every stage matters — pitch decks and treatments from development, location scouts and table-reads from pre-production, set photos and crew anecdotes from production, edit-bay notes from post, and press kits, festival memories, or marketing ephemera from distribution. Any moment that didn't make the press tour, any document or photograph that's been sitting in a box — please share it so it's not lost to time.
We particularly welcome contributions from writers, producers, cast, crew, festival programmers, distributors, marketing teams, their families, and anyone who was there at any stage.
