Dragon Ball Super is no stranger to fan service as many moments throughout the anime make references to iconic moments of the franchise's past in order to highlight how far the characters have come over time.

But one Easter Egg went under the nose of most fans and it may serve as a cute surprise for those who start the series over from the beginning and see a shout out to Zarbon and Dodoria in the early episodes.

As spotted by Twitter user @Herms98, this moment from the early episodes of Dragon Ball Super features a hilarious fruit pun. When Vegeta falls into a bush, he emerges with two fruits sticking out of him. The spiky green fruit on his left is called a durian, and the more orange one is a pomelo, which is "zabon" in Japanese according to @Herms98, referencing the former generals in Freeza's army Zarbon and Dodoria.

Zarbon and Dodoria mean quite a lot to Vegeta's past in the series as they once both posed quite a challenge to him. Defeating the two may have been selfish in nature, but doing so eventually put him on the path he's on today. It's one of the many things that led him to relazing so lazily with his wife and son at the beginning of Dragon Ball Super. It's a cute way of bringing back the past in a moment for fans.

Dragon Ball Super is currently airing its English dub on Adult Swim during the Toonami programming block Saturday evenings at 9:30 p.m. It is also available to stream on Funimationand Amazon Video. The Japanese language release of the series is complete, and available to stream on Funimation, VRV, and Crunchyroll.

If you want to catch up with the English dub, the first 52 episodes of Dragon Ball Super are now available to stream on FunimationNOW, VRV, and available to purchase on Amazon Video as well. The 52 episodes span the full range of what has aired in the North America and covers the "Battle of Gods" arc, "Revival of F" arc, the "Universe 6" arc, and bringing the series right up to the current TV airings of the "Future Trunks" arc.

The first Dragon Ball Super film is set to release this December in Japan, and it has just released its first trailer. The film will focus on the Saiyans, the "origins of Goku's power," and potentially the story of the very first Super Saiyan. Not only does it aim to be the best film in the series, original creator Akira Toriyama will be contributing to the film's script and character designs. Fans will get their first look at the new film during the Dragon Ball North America Tour, as well.
