This could be a hint to the Japanese stereotype of old men being perverts. There seems to be a connection between Oro and Ibuki or at least from the old man to teenager Ibuki. (left: Oro and his turtle right: Muten Roshi riding on his turtle) Of course it doesn't talk like the turtle in Dragonball. I have not found any official info on Oro's turtle, such as its name, but it shows up in Oro's winning poses sometimes. Muten Roshi is Son Goku's teacher and Oro of SFIII seems to become Ryu's (main character like Son Goku) teacher.īoth live with a turtle (symbol for a long long live). They're both very old (very very very old) and are very good and experienced fighters. (Muten Roshi, the lord of the turtles from Dragonball) Oro of SFIII known as ' The Sennin' seems to be based on 'Muten Roshi/Roshii/Roushi' aka ' Kamesennin' of the popular Dragonball series. Thanks to Nathan for sending this one in! (left: Blanka from an old SFII Manga by Masaomi Kanzaki right: Super Android 13 from Dragonball Z) However you can still see the similarity when Blanka has his usual green look as shown below. With these colors, he looks a lot like Super Android from Dragonball Z. Let me know if you have something to add or correct.īlanka's SFII'CE color (or his Player 2 color) is blue skin with bright orange hair.
