LOL, I was just going to say that.

Do you think this was cut from a DVD? It is pretty sharp compaired to the stuff I've seen on Youtube

Seeing that the series was made in the 70's, I would say that the DVD features the series being remastered.

Just as I promised, here is the manga version of the inflation. Plus another part that featured these stretchy chicks that at one point inflate themselves. Sorry but the only version that I could find was the japanese.

EDIT: I bet there will be the second inflation with the darker skinned women inflating themselves in the animated series as well.

Thanks for finding this. ^^ It's interesting that there's a second instance of inflation in the series. Maybe the author liked the idea... >>

Do you know what chapter number the second find is from? I should be able to find out if there's a corresponding episode from the anime.

All I know is that it is from volume 7.

Well, it's hard to figure out (I can't find any information in English to go from), but my best guess on what chapter that was isn't in the anime.

I know many of you will not care, but... when you have had more exposure to manga you will recognize that the language in this manga is not Japanese. I'm at the point that I can recognize these characters as being common between both Chinese and Japanese. But, what's missing are the phonetic katakana (?) characters that that the Japanese use. I suspect that the original Japanese was translated to Chinese for another Asian market, not much different that the kind of translations you will find for an American audience, in your local 'big chain' bookstore.

Other than not paying attention and just assumption, if it counts, the sound effects are in japanese. I guess they decided to not help the other asian, non-japanese, readers with what sounds are being made.

The fact that it makes you float as well seems like a nice bonus. ...Until you burst. Although it seems the women in the end have managed to avoid that.

They inflated themselves so I would imagine they wouldn't have popped.

Inflation isn't my interest either, and I was apprehensive about watching this clip, but thankfully the explosion part wasn't graphic and gory, that would have been too much.
