So question for #anime #fans I was thinking .. "In the whole #AkiraToriyama universe .. who's the strongest/indestructible/more powerful being ? .. My bet is on Arale 
@gilesgoat Absolutely Arale!
Interestingly, the DB universe has written itself into such a corner lately it's done a complete back to square one approach. I think everyone realised the futility of "Goku fights bad guy and becomes a god" over and over, so they decided to return to their roots and make things more like the 80s beginnings.
@Gosunkugi I stopped reading DB after 'series 2', as you say it was a case of 'too much success let's make it longer' at the expense of 'content' that was getting more and more just into fights. Dr Slump and Arale came - as I remember it - exactly in times where "Anime was mostly robots fighting stuff all over the places pretending to be serious". Dr Slump and Penguin Village was "a SHOCKING NEW breath of FRESH AIR" and was taking the piss of everything of before "breaking all the rules"
@gilesgoat Indeed. It's telling the projects that Toriyama did when he moved away from the endless fighting drama of Dragon Ball, Sand Land for example is pure adventure, a little demon in a tank roaming the wasteland, and it's marvelous.
