Biography

Arale is the creation of Dr. Senbei Normaki. Arale poses as Senbei's sister or brother, depending on who Senbei is talking to. The Norimaki family only grows from there when Arale and Senbei discover an egg when traveling to the past. The egg hatches into a small winged creature that they named "Gadzilla" or "Gatchan" for short. Then Senbei marries the girl of his dreams (Midori Yamabuki) and they have a baby named Turbo. As if the house wasn't full enough, Gatchan inexplicably splits into two seperate entities.

Dr. Slump

The Dr. Slump series is a self proclaimed gag manga, but it isn't a complete joke. The series actually has some plot. The entire series is about Arale's humorous exploration of the dynamics of life and the adventures Senbei and his inventions send them on. It is also about Senbei's romantic advances that usually end in failure (that is, until he finally gets married to Ms. Yamabuki.)

Special Abilities

Arale Kick
She only uses this when she appears in Dragonball Volume 7. She runs after the target and does a double flying kick.

Head Butt
Not your average head butt. If her enemy is airborne, she jumps up very high and butts the enemy with very high force in the torso. Usually sends an average person flying hundreds of miles.
